On New Years Eve most of the world steps out" with the idea of just having a good time. During the
 mmer young women who look well in
 thing suit9 go to the beaches and '.step out 'ak they listen to the wild, wild waves and walk up and down the sands ischaevously and adventur- ously.
 'Stepping out" as I understand it, has produced that condition which is called flapperism.
 see no objection to the phrase; it strikes me as being forceful and vivid English. It is, of course, bluntly chis- eled. This modern age has produced some phrases which seemed inelegant at first but readily became assimilated into the talk of purists. Stepping out" has not attained the dignity of old age as yet and is still in its girlhood.

Will One of the Judges
Please AnSWer This?

NIFTY THOUSAND persons signed initiative petitions
i i'm California, asking that 10 La Toilette electors be
placed on the ballots there in November.
Now comes the California state supreme court, by (
10 decision and rules that the of the electors
barred from the ballots Majority Judges based their
action the finding that presidential elecor is not
public officer but merely the messenger boy OF pot
cal party and that therefore the only legal way in which
his name be placed the ballot is 10y authority of
such political convention and not 10y initiative petition
The Star isn't interested in points OF legal teehnicay
in the case.
What it is interested in is the fact that $4,000 per-
sons in California who have sgnfed their desire 10 vote
for La Toilette there will he denied the right,
This paper believes that every should have the
right to vote for whom he pleaSeS and that every pos
Sbe should be opened to make II possible for him
TO cast that vote
The Star hopes the four California judges who ruled
against the La Toilette ticket acted their conscenceS
dictated and that politics had nothing to do with it,
But courts, likely TO follow too literally in the
paths of precedent to let minor technicay, deyoly
ing upon the shading of words meaning decide case
TO look too much upon the letter and too little upon the
spirit of the law.
Majority Judges ruled presidential elector is not
public official.
Aud yet the constitution of the United States says in
Section , Article IL
Each state shall appoint in such manner as the egis-
laure thereof may direct number of electors equal to
the whole number of senator's and representatives to
which the state may be entitled in the congress"
II men appointed by the state to perform a most i'm
porant function for the state not officers of that
state what, in the Of logic and common sense,
they?
VIII the majority judges of the California supreme
court kindly give the nation decision this question?
