Loses Its Terrors

A referendum in Missouri where the popular

Verdict tell on the side ot conservatism is now companioned by a similar occurrence in Oregon, where nearly all the 29 propositions offered under the initiative on the November ballot were defeated. Discrimination of this sort on the part of the Oregon voter has developed to a point of safety which moves the Portland Oregonian to say: It is quite obvious from election results on ballot measures that abuse of the initiative is working out its own remedy. The overwhelming defeat of nearly every measure expresses in plain words the people's verdict that the initiative is

not the place to present laws for which there is not a public demand. The measures of the future

will be bills or amendments which primarily incorporate a genuine principle and present issues in which there is genuine public interest. Con-

sea uently the ballot of the future will be shorter

and the issues nearer elemental."

The most obvious lesson of this Oregon development is the demonstration of sanity in the electorate. Even the dreaded recall has taken an inactive place among reserved forces of society. The fear that the people would be unable to restrain themselves from doing all sorts of crazy things has been pretty thoroughly discredited.

Some of the proponents of these nostrums were approximately insane, but the people are not. Another thing that ought to be reiterated on every possible occasion is the inability of mere laws or electoral devices to accomplish any improvement of society. If we do not use the Australian ballot or the direct primary to any noble ends than we gained under viva voce voting or racked conventions, then the result is not so

much an indictment of the old or the new methods as it is of the public intelligence and conscience. An ineradicable weakness of popular government is the possibility of power in the hands of engaging, half-educated leaders like Mr. Bryan. Under a wise oligarchy or a truly benevolent despotism we should escape certain perils from demagogues, but encounter others, believed to be more deadly, from suppression of liberty. These instances from Missouri and Oregon indicate that the people are likely to "wabble right." Indianapolis Star.

That was the repulse of the Belgian and French forga that was trying to fight its way eastward along the coast toward Ostend to get in the rear of the German troops upon the Ostend-Dixmude-Ypres line. Storms have had considerable to do with the interruption of operations in that vicinity. . At the extreme eastern end of this great battle, which has now been In progress sixty-seven days, the French are making strong demonstrations around St. Mihiel, and are making

two nights without cessation, the Ger

mans have been bombarding both flanks and the front of the British position at Ypres in what appears to be the forerunner of another attempt to carry the defenders' trenches by storm. To the north, at Dixmude, the floods have menaced the Germans' position and have cut part of their lines of communication by washing out railway tracks and flooding the highways. In the center the Germans are now outnumbered, but are able to withstand attacks by superior forces by reason of their superior artillery and the natural strength of the positions

When within sixty yards of these hidden guns, the retreating British ranks parted and the hidden pieces poured a murderous fire into the advancing columns of the invaders. Build New Dykes. The Germans have been striving to build fresh dykes between Dixmude and Nieuport under artillery fire and at some places, where the inland sea was narrowed by hilly country, they tried to build pontoon bridges, but their efforts were without success, for

the sappers were either killed by the artillery fire of the Frnch or the pontoon boats were smashed. The violent efforts of the Germans to take Ypres show the immense strategic value of the position. Ypres is on high ground, out of the reach of the floods and it is the center of a network of important highways leading into France and to the coast. Official mention has been made of the terrific efforts of the Germans along the Ypres-Manin road, stretching from the southeast to the northwest into France and on to the coast. This highway, as well as most of the others which pass through Ypres. is well built. After they pass the French line, they are of particularly fine construction, and are less effected by the rain than the roads in Belgium. The Franco-Prus-bian war taught the French the need of better highways and the great automobile traffic through France re

sulted in further improvements in late years.

appearance of being the center of a

Fletcher for over 80 years the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger gene -ation to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do

that for themselves, but the child has to rely on the mother's watchfulness. fs S Genuine Castoria always bears the signature l-jxS7Z(4eA4Z

A number of handsome presents were received by the couple.

To Put On Flesh

And Increase Weight A Physician's Advice. Most thin people eat from four to b'a pounds of good solid fat-making food every day, and still do not increase in weight one ounce, while on the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the time. It's all bosh to say that this is the nature of the individual. It isn't Na re's way at all. Thin folks stay thin because their powers of assimilation are defective They just absorb enough of the food they eat to maintain life and a semblance of health and strength. Stuffing won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't make them gain a single stay there" pound. All the fat-pro

ducing elements of their food just stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fatty food elements so that their blood can absorb them and de

posit them all about the body something, too, that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and increase their blood's carying power. For such a condition I always recommend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is not, as some believe, a patented drug, but is a scientific combination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh-building elements known to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet wonderfully effective, and a single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect of increasing the weicht of a thin man or woman from three to live pounds a week. Sargol is sold by Leo H. Fihe and other good druggists everywhere on a positive guarantee of weieht increase or money back. Adv.
