Direct legislation, or the initi ative apd referendum, means simply government by the peo ple, nothing more and nothing less. The principle of direct legislation is endorsed by leaders of the democratic party, practic ally unanimously in the west, and by progressive or "insur- ception, so far as we know. There is absolutely no good reason for not adopting the in itiative and referendum when there is an opportunity to do so; hence the man who has taken it upon himself to defeat the prop osition in Alliance is driven to subterfuge and misrepresenta tion. The only hope he can have of defeating its adoption is in deceiving a majority of the voters until after the election. One of the first objections made was that direct legislation was "complex" and "complicated." We have already shown that thexe is no ground for such ob jection as voting under the ini tiative and referendum is simply a matter of voting "Yes" or "No" on the proposition submitted to be voted upon. The operation of direct legislation is easier to understand than the Australian ballot, under which all elections in Nebraska are held. Any man who has intelligence sufficient to 1910, and offers his building and flxtur6s for sale. With the largest established trade M r . Wildy should not find it difficult to find younger men to buy him and continue his business. Mr. Wildy wants to retire, and while his patrons may hate to see him quit he is wise in his decision as he needs rest from his long busi ness career.

Anderson. proposition submitted under the initiative and referendum. One of the most easily refuted of the Times' arguments (?)isits nonsensical statement in regard to the closing of the pool rooms. There is absolutely no real argu ment in the statement. It is made in a desperate effort to scare people into voting against their own interests. The Times editor assumes that the initiative and referendum is a temperance measure, and that temperance people favor closing pool rooms. What are the facts in the case? We have already shown that people who believe in govern ment by all the voters, rather than by a few politicians, favor direct legislation, although on the question of licensing saloons they are divided. Furthermore, there are many temperance peo ple, of whom the editor of The Herald is one, who believe that pool and billiard tables should not be permitted in liquor sa loons, but can see no more harm in a properly ponducted pool room than in a properly con ducted croquet ground. We see no more harm in rolling an ivory ball across a table covered with green cloth, using a stick called a cue, than in rolling a wooden ball across a lawn covered with green grass, using a stick called a mallet. Whether the initiative and referendum is adopted or not, there is no danger that pool halls and other places of amuse ment in Alliance will be closed as long as they continue to be conducted in a decent and order ly manner; but if there were any danger of them being closed, that danger would be increased by rejecting the initiative and referendum. If it is rejected, and if an ultra city council should be elected that would pass an ordinance to close pool rooms, that ordinance would stand and they would be compelled to close; but if the initiative and referen dum is adopted, and if such an ordinance should be passed, the proprietors of pool rooms and others interested can appeal to the people and secure the anul ment of the objectionable ordi nance. wvwwwww. To Retire from Business. C. J. Wildy, oldest general merchant in this part of the state, offers to soil out his enor mous stock of merchandise be ginning next Monday, March 21, The Herald has a subscription list of which any local newspaper might well be proud. A host of friends endorse the policy of the paper and wish to see it prosper. While we appreciate the patron age given in subscriptions, we wish to suggest another way that our subscribers can assist us materially. A lai'ge part of the support of the paper comes from its adver tisers. We are sure that our l'eaders can do well or better by trading with the merchants who advertise in The Herald, than they can by trading elsewhere, besides patronage given them will indirectly assist this paper. Not that we have any direct in terest in the business of the men who advertise in The Herald, but if their advertising in this paper increases their business, they will naturally continue and increase the patronage given to the paper. Accident Brines Sorrow. The accidental discharge of a 22call ber rifle has brought unspeakable sor row to the home of George E. Douglas, Mr. Douglas and his son, George A., were hunting near Hubble ranch. 35 miles from Alliance. They were in a boat on one of the lakes in that neigh borhood when tbe accident occurred, about 5 o'clock pn Monday afternoon. The gun was leaning against the side of the boat, by some means it slipped and fell and was accidentally discharg ed, the bullet entering the back of the head of the unfortunate youug man. The father had his back towurds him at the time, and is unable to say posi tively just how the accident occurred. lie carried his son to a point about 75 yards distant where he left him until he ran to a house a mile away to secure assistance and telephone for a phy hiclan, The young man never regained consciousness but passed away early the next morning. With a heavy heart we drop a tear to his memory. His deatV has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relatives. His was a heart of gold. He was one of uutures noble men lu the truest souse, Urave, genur oub, manly. Ills was the soul of honor und hi friends and friendships were sacred to him. He was born Feb. 7, 1862, hence wus a little past 28 years of ago at the time of his untimely demise. The Herald cannot find words to express sympathy that we fain would convey to the sor- I rowing relatives and friends. THE FAMOUS LECTURER Will Lecture at the Phelan Opera House W M P.

In the first place the styles are absolutely correct. The gurments are designed in such a manner that very seldom are alterations required. Altera tions, of course, necessitate delays. The fabrics used are in every case suitable to the style ofj the garment, and no matter whether the garment is high or low priced every hit of work on it has been done conscientiously. The actual fact is that "THE PALMER GARMENT" will give greater satisfaction, wear longer and hold its graceful lines better than any garment you can buy.
