ANOTHER ILL-CON-
SIDERED UTTERANCE

Governor Hyde says Victor Miller
has forfeited confidence" by "ill-con-
sidered utterances". A precious lot
Gov. Hyde knows about "ill-consid-
cred utterances!" Take his latest
Outburst, for instance. blast coming
exactly on the same day on which he
applied the above words to Miller
Here it is-"Of all unmitigated evils,
the initiative, referendum and recall
are the worst" This is what he told
Big Business-the Manufacturers and
Merchants Association of st. Louis
at meeting recently. Big Business
whooped 'er up when the Governor
got this attack off his chest and he
consequently became much elated but
his Joy didn't last very long. For the
Central Trades and Labor Union of
st. Louis. the strongest labor fedora
ton in the city, no sooner heard Of
this little crack than it opened up on
the Governor full blast and now he
faces a severe rebuke from that body.
It would be interesting to know just
when His Excellency did mental
fiiphop and decided that the initiative,
referendum and recall were the worst
of all unmitigated evils. When he ran
for Attorney General on the Bull
Moose ticket in 1912 he must not have
thought that way for the initiative,
referendum and recall were the sacred
fetish of all who followed Roosevelt.
When he ran for Governor two
years ago he had nothing against the
initiative, referendum and recall; at
least he didn't make his grievance
public. Recently he seems to have
sustained a change of heart.
Can it be possible that une' Gov
ernor has turned against the initia-
tive, the referendum and the recall
because outraged citizens of Missou-
ri exercised their legal prerogative and
invoked the referendum to curb him
in his mad lust for power and thwart
his czar-like, schemes for, control OF
all state offices? "
Can it be possible that the Govern
or has turned against the initiative,
the referendum and the recall because
the citizenfy stepped in and blocked
a monumental gerrymander which
would place the majority of judicial
and senatorial offices in the hands of
Republicans for all time to come?
But one answer can be given to
both questions and that answer is

feared they would be abused. but now

Passing of Opera Glasses.

Do you recall the time when every one car
ried pair of opera glasses to the theatre? Not
30 long ago. You didn't feel properly equipped
unless you had your binoculars along. But Of
late years few people have been bothering with
them. A friendly argument has recently been
as to the reason. Some hold that it is because
modern theatres are smaller, and hence the
magnifying glasses are unnecessary. Others
think that the newer and better methods of
lighting are responsible. Doubtless these and
other physical reasons all initiate against the
opera glass. But to some minds there is another,
more basic reason.
A generation ago the minds of playgoers
were fixed upon great actors They went to
the theatre to see big star. But since those
days, quiet but mighy revolution has been at
work among audiences. Under the stimulus of
the Drama league and other organizations they
have turned their minds to plays and the study
Of them. With large proportion Of present
day theatre lovers, the play, and not the star,
IL the main attraction. The use of the opera
the exclusion of the rest of the stage. To see
and enjoy the play as whole the opera glass
| is best discarded. Today most people want tc
take in the whole stage at glance, observe the
movements of the players, and listen to tine
arguments. So they go unencumbered with
paraphernalia, and the old cry, "o-pry glasses
no lolnger echoes through the galleries.

LONG AGO.
When you were q prehistoric woman
And was prehistoric man,
Both tWo-thirds ape and one-third human
Maybe that's when our love began
Possibly over the head cracked Won
And dragged you OF to my tree or cave
II those were the ways that would attract vou
Doubtless that's how would behave. ~
Did love you then? can't rscollect II
For it was Ever So Long Ago,
Probably happened exactly so. -
And II l were l, and ever met you.
As you swung by your tail with an .irv
grace. 10y

You probably gave me an awful chase,

(Which maybe never occurred at aln

BILE consider this: In 1927 the Boston Courier
said edtorialy that "the prospect of RAILROAD
from Boston to Albany is improbable, as
everyone who knows the simplest rule of arith-
metic, and the expense would be little less than
the market value of the whole territory of Mas
sachusetts; and which, if practicable, every
person Of common sense knows would be as
useless as q railroad from Boston to the moon. ;"
Nevertheless visionaries went ahead and laid
a network Of railroads. Having imagination.
they clairvoyantly sensed the future in store for
New York and other states. Men of the sort
Of those early railroad builders are the forces
which drive humanity steadily along the road
Of progress. They prove that virtually nothing
is impossible. When the elevated railroad was
suggested the elder Vanderbilt roared with
laughter. He said the idea of railroad on
stills was preposterous. Nevertheless the gen.
tlemen who refused to admit that anything
might be impossible went ahead with their
plans. They built the eIevateds. Wonder what
Vanderbilt would have said about proposal
to bury tracks, trains and passengers in sub
ways!

Q. Why is the Blalk Sea- said to
be different from all other seas?

A. The existence of sulphuretted
hydrogen in great quantities below

cal precipitation of calcium car
Donate and the stagnant nature of
its deep water9 serve to MAKE the
Black Sea unique. The depths of
this sea are lifeless. Another Pc
culiarity is that there isNa layer OF
water between rs and SO fathom
which is colder than the deeper
water. This is because the deer
water is saltier than the surface
water and practically motionless.
In winter time the surface water
reaches freezing point and in the

Sleep walking 10 the>actual en-
actment Of the subjects part in his
dream. The somnambulist Is
asleep in some respects and
awake in others. For in-
stance, his pain sense IL ABB
sent yet his sense Of touch 10 very
keen. Some Of the special senses
such as sight and hearing may be
active, so FAR as things concerned
in the subjects dream are con-
cerned.. yet he neitheE sees nor
hears anything which is not part
OF his dream. The voluntary mus
Gle apparatus is wide awake ana
responsive to the mind. In short
the subjects state is strikingly
similar to the state of hypnotism.
We might say the sleep walker is
hypnotized by his own subcon-
seriousness. But that Is getting in
pretty deep-I'm not at all sure it
means anything. but I mention it
because it has sort Of scientific
ring, don't you think? This Is q
psychological subject, like old
Doctor Doyle's Perfectly Palpahle
Ectoplasm.
"A sleep walkers eyes are usual
lyNlopen, but the pupils do not-di-
late in the dark and contract in the
light, as do the pupils Of a waking
persons eyes,, The face has a
blank expression or rather Is ex-
pressionless. Talking in sleep is 4
minor degree Of somnambulisin.
The sleep talker or sleep walker
has no recollection Of his somnam-
bulistic acts in his waking hours.
Why folks talk or walk in their
sleep is the question that will
show my ignorance. Medical au-
thorities blame a neurotic inheri-
lance for it. much as bad actors
blame grandfather for theix hard
lives. Sleep walking. like pimp,es
and ivy poisoning, occurs chiefly
among youths because youths arc
SO active and busy, and for no ota-
err reason I know.
The suggestion of sleep walking
in q discussion Of the subject late
at night, has led to its manifesto
ton. Sometimes the somnambullst
carries out in his dream the }ine Of
action on which his mind had been
! intent before he fell asleep. -

lawrence ON Political Outlook.

There Ii an enlightening treat in store for
readers of The Argus in q series Of daily dis
patches that David Lawrence is to write be-
ginning next week on national political and
economic conditions. Lawrence, from whom
o daily dispatch is received by The Argus from
Washington over its Consolidated Press wire,
begins transcontinental trip next Monday for
the purpose of telling his readers about condi-
tions he finds them. He will aim to inform
you how the Harding administration stands
with the people. how the important senatorial
and congressional contests are going, facts con-
corning the business and financial outlook, the
general sentiment on prohibition, and what the
western attitude Is toward eastern Republican
leadership, and the agricultural bloc. This will
b first-hand study Of the thinking heart Of
Tho United States by the trained mind of q
Washington correspondent of long experience
IN political observation. Just before the fall
/ election Lawrence will write q general sum-
mary In . series Of three dispatches ON the
congress outlook and the trend Of opinion
n You can follow Lawrence in the full a.
spsranoe that he is writing conditions as hs
actually finds them. without political bias, with
NO interest to serve other than that of his read
era. Lawrence is one of the best informed
Newspaper writer's in the United States, az yol
doubtless have learned BY reading his dali,

Lawrence has completed his transcontinenta
tsur you will be fully informed ON the condi
tons he has assigned himself to analyze.
