What's The Reason?

Ex-Senator Beveridge Is home from Switzerland, and declares himself delighted with the governmental procedure processes of that miniature republic. It is hardly likely, however, that Mr. Beveridge has so lost his sense of proportion as to believe that the laws and forma which obtain excellent results in Switzerland would obtain the same results in the United States."

CHILD SLAVERY. Alms Whaley of Chattanooga, Teun.. drank one and one-half drams of carbolic acid in an attempt to end her life, but was saved by the physicians. Why suicide at fourteen V ' The girl revealed the fact that she with several of her fellow workers In n factory bad entered Into a suicide pact, preferring to die rather than work in the mills. Listen to the child: "We all wanted to die at our 'frame." We go to work at 6 in the morning and work until 6 at night. We have no time to play. Little Bertha cries and says she would rather be de d than alive. So we made up our minds we would die." What a tragedy of childhood! Without the power of self analysis these children did not fully realize perhaps that under the depressing and monotonous labors of the mill both their bodies and brains Were being tunted, but they did realize they were miserable. They did realize they were being cheated of their birthright the right of self development, the right to education, to recreation, to play.

Tbey did realize that because of the

long and grinding hours of labor in

the insanitary factory with its nerve racking noises tbey were losing the

best years of their lives. Tbelr parents?

It is sorrowful to record that in

many cases of this character the par

ents are to blame, dividing with the greedy mill operators the responsibility for conditions as tbey are. "But," say certain legislators "I worked on the farm as a child when I had to reach up for the plow bandies. It is good for children that they should work." Yes, but working in the open air nnd unllfbt is one thing; working in the dust and grime of a stifling mill atmosphere is quite another. Wo are proud of the fact that we are a working people. Nearly all our great men as boys were poor and worked hard. Bat none of them worked under the conditions of our modern child slaves

In a stifling factory, or at opening the gates of the dark mine, or standing orer the "breakers," labors that change boys and girls prematurely lato old men and women, ground by sordid greed Into human waste. There la more than one sort of white alaTery. Alma Wbaley reached a powerful sermon against child labor when she told how these miserable preferred death.

Ex-Senator Beveridge has returned from Switzerland and is convinced of the success of the initiative and referendum as he saw it. What is more to the point the editorial announcement of the World Today state that he will explain why. So it is not with the information that Senator Beveridge obtained from firist hand study that we are concerned. The fact is that the initiative and referendum are in use today in the United States as the Ft. Wayne News among hundreds of thousands of other folks know. It is nothing new to tell the people of Indiana that over a hundred cities in the United States have the initiative and referendum and that whole states have adopted the initiative and referendum as part of their organic law. At this very time the United States supreme court is listening to the oral arguments in the case which will decide whether the initiative and referendum are repugnant to the constitution.

It is worthy of notice that the suit was carried to the supreme court by a public service corporation, the Pacific Telephone companyIt is worthy of notice because these public service corporation abuses are the very things that taught the people the futility of sticking up one corporation puppet and beating him with another in a vain effort of getting some action. Now the people have taken things into their own hands by dispensing with the services of the conditions that have betrayed them and they are doing things directly. If we believe that the people of this country are capable of governing themselves it is much ; impler. If we do not the thing to do is to say so and stop this deceitfulness of yelling that we want a "government by the people etc."

To our mind one reason for the initiative, and recall lie in the fundamental law of the land that an action by a legislative body cannot be set aside because of bribery. A city council may give away perpetual franchises or sell out the town for a generation pocket the money and the public can whistle. A state legislature may dispose of water power sites and the bribery become known the state is powerless. Congress of the country may be bribed or given "other articles of values'and the mineral wealth of the future and present sold out as in Alaska and though the fraud become known and proved the contract is not broken. For the Supreme Court held over a hundred years ago that the principle, that any fraud in a contract destroys it did not apply to the simple act of bribing the agents and servant of the people when they made their contracts! And so this country has been a paradise for those who find a means of enrichment in bribing and lobbying ever since. The cities of the state of Indiana have been looted of their franchisesand so the story goes on and on to the very capital of the nation and the land and railroad troubles.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

This is not the only reason for the growth of the initiative and referendum idea. The Lorimer case has decided thousands who never before Baw the full view of the relation between machine politics and their bread and butter. They have seen the trail of the Beast. And having seen it wish to have done with a system whereby the representative if honest is placed in terrible jeopardy of the things he loves best his fair name, his business standing, his very property and home. They wish to be done with the temptations that befall those who went into office with a light step and easy conscience. The strain is too great to put any man under it is not fair (even if it were not folly) to pit men with the vast octopus of corporate greed and privilege and expect them not to waver. As for those who know and thrive on this those professional puppets who are to corrupt to start with paid Lorimers and with their bought seats their monstrous condition may be expected as long as the system is continued.

Many Changes In Its Design Since It Was First Issued. The silver dollar has undergone a crroat many changes since it was put in circulation In 1794. On the face of the first dollar there was stamped the head of a young woman turned V the rijrht and with hair flowing, as if she

was in a gale of wind. But in 1790 congress came to her relief nnd ordered

her hair to be tied up with a bit of ribbon. The fifteen stars which appeared on the first dollar were after this reduced to the original thirteen in recognition of the number of states.

In 1830 the design was again chang

ed, and the dollar bore the figure of a

woman dressed in a flowing garment.

The designer forgot, however, to put In the thirteen stars, and the coin was soon called in, the new design having the -woman surrounded by stars. Her air waa defiant and stiff looking, and

In 1838 dollars were Issued which were more artistic in treatmeut. The first dollars bearing the motto, "In God We Trust," were coined In April, 18G4, nnd

In 1873 the era of the trade dollar began, lasting just five years.

The Liberty dollar made its appear

In the founding of this nation the "representative' form of government was the only practical machinery, in a time when communication was so restricted that only the man on the ground could act intelligently and speedily. Newspapers carry the happenings of the day with such rapidity that San Francisco is a neighbor of New York. The only logical objection that might have been successfully raised against the initiative and referendum in the early days has vanished provided the peoplo of the United States are intelligent enough to govern themselves.

We have shown the necessity; the causes which led to the desire for emancipation from the indirect to the direct method of law making; but it is not wholly upon this that we base our opinion. The initiative and referendum is already being tried in the United States with remarkable success. The results and operation itself are not mere matters of hearsay evidence. The success of the Des Moines commission government has been studied first hand by this paper. It is no thing of dreams, no fancy of a night. We do not believe that forthwith every wrong do.ie to the cities, states, and nation would be righted. We do not believe that the mere power given to the people to manage their affairs will succeed in betterment. The initiative, referendum and recall are not mere charm words to conjure away every ill. We do believe that these are effective weapons with which the people may defend themeslves against the encroachments of the selfish.

from his efforts. The farmers in this locality are exceptionally progressive and are constantly seeking new ideas that mean advancement. Old farm problems are constantly presenting new angles, and new problems are appearing all the while. They are ever anxious to learn more about their soils, soil "fertility, seeds, rotation of crops, insect pests, spraying, the feeding and housing of farm animals, diseases of animals, care

and use of farm machines, planting and cultivating of specialties, marketing et cetera. Not only do they seek information on these farm subjects, but they are wide readers of current literature on various subjects. Some on has said: "This is an age of want-to-know, and the more the man on the farm knows, the less hard

work he does and the more money he makes. Agriculture has passed from drudgery to a scientific profession the most important science in the universe. To cultivate more acres and make those acres yield larger and better crops, to produce more milk and butter and eggs, to raise more cattle, and to grow more fruit to better feed and nourish the millions is the most honorable as well as the most profitable business in the world. Or, it will be the most profitable when those who till, and produce, and raise, and grow, more fully known the whys and hows of tilling, and producing, and raising, and growing."'

There only remains one question: "Are the people of the country intelligent enough to have the referendum and initiative and recall?-' Only trial will tell. But it is our opinion that once the people are in- , telligent enough to grasp the fact that they are now being governed by the few for the enrichment of that few and that the very machinery of government is being employed to loot them that then they will be. more determined to govern themselves directly. We are hopeful that the people of America will know their own interest and we have every confidence in them to decide for themselves what is best. The Ft. Wayne News states that the people of Switzerland are a mere "lot of ox-eyed individuals whose chief aim in life are good beer, good cheese, plenty of children, buxom wives, and peace on earth." It declares that "what operates for good government there might easily prove farcical here and Mr. Beveridge must realize this full well." Of what stuff are we made of then are we mere ox-eyed mere beasts of the field? Or does the Ft. Wayne News insist that those more capable will not succeed as well as the Swiss yokels? Either we are more intelligent or less so than the liberty loving Swiss who put in the initiative and referendum for the express purpose of knocking out the very abuses which now endanger this nation. They were successful. There must be some other reason in the objection of the reactionary papers of which the Ft. Wayne News is the bell wether In this state. What is it? Is it lest the initiative and referendum should be tried and found successful?

To Shrink a Fleshy, Flabby, Bloated Face.

(From Happy Homes) The woman whose face has a bloat-1 ed appearance at times, particularly upon arising, as well as she whoee j face is permanently over-fleshy or j flabby, should use the saxolite solu- j tion. This is made by dissolving 1 oz. j powdered saxolite in pint witch-haz-el, inexpensive ingredients which any I druggist can supply. Use a a wash j

solution. There is nothing better to reduce the face to a normal condition. The loose skin shrinks, bagginess and

wrinkles are ironed out. Not only does the effect quickly show :n one's improved appearance, but there is also a comfortable feeling of firmness and smugness. This treatment is far superior to massage. The latter, as a matter of fact, can afford but temporary relief;
