AND BEHOLD, IT WAS A DREAM

And it came to pass that the editor
went out of his office to wend his
way to the postoffice, and as he went
he noticed that it was beautiful day,
and he breathed deep breath and he
said unto himself: at is good to be
alive. While there is much toll, there
is also much JOY in life. This air is
surely fine"
His mail was abundant, for the ed
itor had not been to the p. o. the
day before, that day being Sunday,
which day editors are supposed to be
at church. As he went along the
street, he breathed deeply, again ere
he entered the stuffy office which
smelleth of gas fumes.
The first letter he opened was from
the publishers of the Ready Prints"
It was an announcement of a ma
terial increase in the cost of ready
prints" in the future. AS the editor
is pious man, he patiently sighed
and spake thus. "Fiddlesticks"
(which is the strongest swear word
good editors use) "the paper will now
cost us twice as much as it used to-"
Then he opened letter from the ink
house! when he read the statement,
he exclaimed "Holy smoke, that ink
has riz four times within year, and
now costs six times as much as 1T
used to-" Then he looked at the bill
from the grocer man and found that
he had charged him 60 cents for his
favorite old 30-cent coffee, and TO
cents for a pound Of sugar, 90 cents
for peck of potatoes (Which lasteth
week. and the Recording Angel
dropped tear as she heard the edi-
tor distinctly say, Jehosaphat."
And the editors heart became
heavy and he sighed again, and said
'T'm glad that it doesn't cost more to
sigh than it used to-" And when he
went to his home, his spouse gladly
greeted him, and as he sat down she
said, what does thou think of these
new shoes? 2" He inquired-"what
did they cost?" She blithely made
answer, "These have set thee back
eight bucks"
Then did the editor faint. He said
81 must betake me to my humble
couch" Then he made ready to re-
tire. Ere he retired, as good editors
sometimes have habit of doing, he
knelt and prayed. He asked for
many things, and he closed the petit
tions with this request: "And now
grant me wisdom, beseech thee, to
enable me to decide how an editor
whose expenses keep on increasing

of opinion as to how those interests
will be best conserved.

Ol OplHlOH as W NOW IuOhc lntcISobb
will be best conserved.
The Committee on Initiative and
Referendum, in making its report to
the convention, has filed both major
ity and minority reports, the latter
voicing the sentiment Of the chairman
Of the committee alone. The majors
ty report is in effect the proposal
known as No. 232 and differs from
the present constitution in but three
particulars. The percentage of the
voters signing the petition for ini-
tiative or referendum is reversed, on
ly five per cent being required to in
itiate measure and eight per cent
to refer law passed by the General
Assembly. It was felt that larger
number should be required in the lat
ter case. Another point in the pro-
posal is that each signer of any mi
tiative or referendum petition shall
write his name and residence on the
same line of such petition with his
own hand and if unable to write, shall
affix his mark and his name and res
idence shall be written for him and
witnessed by two witnesses, who
shall write their names and residences
on the petition. 1t is also required
that all signers must be registered as
voters in places where registration is
required.
! In the minority report ten per cent
of tho voters in each of at least two
thirds of the Congressional districts
of the state would be required 20 sign
petitions for either the initiative or
the referendum. 1t requires also that
the petitions shall be filed in the Of
fee Of the clerk Of the county court
in all counties where there is no reg
istration of voters, and elsewhere in
the office of the election commission
ers or other officers charged with the
registration of voters, and each per-
son qualified to do so who desires to
sign such petition must. sign in the
presence of the officers designated, or
their deputies, after having satisfied
the officer or deputy that they are
qualified voters. The same provision
is required in regard to signing or af-
fixing the voters mark in the pres
petition. In both the majority and
minority reports the provision in the
present law is Incorporated, referring
to measures relating to the immediate
preservation of the public peace,
health or safety or laws making ap-
preparation for the support of the
state government, maintenance Of
state Institutions or support of the
public schools, which are now except
ed from the referendum.

may he able to make both ends meet"
Then, weak from his cares and la
bors he soon fell asleep. And the ed
itor dreamed, and lol it seemed as if
he saw into the heavens, and he saw
the Recording Angel surrounded by a
great host of bright ones.
And he heard one of the angels
say: "Have we NOTICED the editors
prayer? And shall 1t be granted :?
What is his record for today?" The
Recording Angel made answer: "Un-
der great provocation the editor made
use of the following swear words,
namely: Fiddlesticks, Holy Smoke and
Jehosaphat, and once, because he
could not find Strong enough word
to express himself he tainted"
But" asked the angel, "hath the
editor done any good today?" "Yea,"
returned the Recording Angel, "he
rinted notices free for the Dorcas
Society, the Ladies' Aid and the Red
Cross; he also printed all the various
notices that the principal of the high
school sent in, also free notices for
all of the churches; he recorded the
deaths and the weddings free; he
charged the preacher half rates for
his print bill-then did the angels
say to the Recording Angel, "Dost
thoy wish to wear out eternity recit-
ing the good deeds of the editor? Let
us at once see how we can answer
the prayer" Then was great coun-
ell held, and one angel said this, and
another angel counseled that, but fin
ally one angel, which was the spirit
of Solomon, said (lo, it was all in the
dream) "The thing is very simple
let the editor do as the rest are doing
ask more for his services, and raise
the price of the subscription" Ant
all the angels sang psalms.
Then did the editor awake and il
grieved him sore that the dream die
not last long enough to allow Solo
mons spirit to teach him how HI
could put the program across.-Ex.

would be necessary and that there
fore there would be no saving in their
salaries. He declared also that the
type of men necessary to serve as
judges of the proposed county courts
could not be secured for $500 or ev-
en- $4,000 per year. Summing up all
expenses that would be possible, as
he saw it, under the proposed judi
ciary, he declared that instead of a
saving, the new system would cost
81 ,188, 500 more than the present.
In opposition to the Judiciary Com
mittee report it was suggested that
change might be made in the old
system that would meet objections
and answer all requirements. This
was to provide that the probate judge
must be lawyer and making manda-
tory the provision in regard to his
acting as presiding of the county
court. Opposition to the Judicial
council was voiced on the charge that
it was usurping legislative functions
which did not belong to the courts.
Changes suggested by the committee
in giving the legislature power to
annul the rules enacted by the coun-
Gil it was not believed would go far
in correcting the evils. 1t was urged
that the state of Missouri ought not
to be the first to venture on untried
fields and that the constitutional con-
yention would be unwise in approving
SO radical measure as the proposed
council.
Other opposition has been shown to
the committee report and also to
some features of the amendments pro-
posed. Prospects were that several
days would be consumed before the
report would be so modified as to meet
Fthe approval Of the convention,
though several members have spoken
in favor of its adoption practically in
the form finally agreed upon by a
majority of the committee.
The Committee on Counties, Cities
and Towns is perfecting its report
and to that end the members are
meeting every night until it shall be
put in form for presentation to the
convention. Usual care is being TAX
en- in its phraseology in the hope that
! few changes will have. to be made to
make its provisions clear to the con-
vention and to the public.
The Committee on Taxation is
spending several evenings in going
over the sections of its report which
have already been passed on tenta-
lively. While not many changes have
been made in the old constitution
some of those proposed are quite
marked and some of the members of
the committee are slow to accept
them. 1t is not unlikely that minor
ity reports will be made to some Of
the provisions, though an effort is be-
ing made to get together on basis
that will make it possible for every
member of the committee to stand
firmly behind it as the best document
in its Judgment that could be worked
out to recommend to the convention
and to the people. 1t is evident from
watching. the committee at work and
listening to the discussions that the
interest Of the taxpayers Of the state is
given first importance by the mem
bers, though there may be differences
