Initiative and Pefereadam. MIXDEN, Neb.. Dec. 11-To the Editor of The Bee: It seems that much is writ ten on the Initiative and referendum with out giving the subject the least thought This state has had practical tests of the I referendum at various times In Its past j history and each time It has certainly J proven that the people have not taken the j Interest necessary to qualify them to vote as It Is argued they would if permitted j through the referendum. ! To amend our state constitution the leg islature performs the Initiative and pre tares the amendment which Is later pub lished In dallies and weeklies broadcast over the ttate Immediately before the elec tion, when Interest In politics is greatest, for three months and voted upon by the people, whtrh Is the rame function as the referendum. Amendments were submitted to the peo ple by the legislature which were abso lutely non-po'.ltlcal In character and which were of financial Interest to every tax payer In Nebraska. During the develop ment of Nebraska and especially during the n'netlts It has needed every cent at home. Yet, up until a few years ago the perma nent school fond had, to be sent to other slates for Investment because of limita tions Imposed by our constitution upon the class of securities the money may be In vested In. Durlrg this time our own schools had to sell their bonds In the eat at an advanced rate while our own money went east at a lower iate." To remedy this the legislature, without being forced to It by any Initiative or referendum, proposed to the people an amendment to the constitu tion which would permit of the Investment In our own school bonds and other securi ties of the permanent school fund. Tet this smendtnent failed for a lock of ma jority of the votes cast at that election some fifteen years ago. Later this amendment waa carried, how ever, by a subterfuge whereby the Ignorant or uninformed voter was caught voting for the amendment Instead of against It. The legislature, full of the much hsted poli ticians, passed a law whereby political con ventions could take action favorable to the amendment and such action would bind every straight vote on that party ticket unless specifically voted against it by the voter. Conventions, of course, are always made up of scheming politicians and they devised this scheme to get a necessary ma jority for the above permanent school fund Investment amendment and also for the railway commission amendment which has worked so much good to Nebraska. In this year of grace, 1910, when the peo ple rule by primary votea and referendum another test again proved a failure. The democratic legislature proposed the wise amendment to limit the qualifications of voters to cltisens who have attained full dtlsenshlp.. This amendment failed of get ting a majority vote at the primary of the democratic party, tha party most responsi ble for Its proposal and tha parry and Its leader the moat clamorous for the referen dum. . Again It failed at the general eleo tlon, although It was given the benefit of all the straight votes cast by the republi can, prohibition and populist parties, and also all Individual votes cast by the demo crats.. If referendum works aa satisfactorily on general laws aa It does on the amending of our constitution It certainly will be a fail ure. It has always been a failure wher ever tried In the past The fate of Jesus Christ was referred to the people by Pilate and history records his fate. Think of the people selecting United Plates supreme Judges with the care and discretion our most-wise president Is now doing. One hundred and thirty years of republi can form of government haa brought us the leadership among nations. Our sys tem of government is being copied In whole or modified form the world over. Gladstone declared It the most perfect scheme of popu lar government that could ba devised. All forms of government do not work exact Justice. Was there a greater miscarriage of nominations than that of D&hlman? And yet how near waa he elected. This letter haa outgrown its permitted limitations and therefore must be out short Respectfully, x CITIZEN. Two Holdups Are Given the Limit Judge Estelle Sentence! the High waymen Who Held . Up Walnut Hill Pharmacy. For the first time In his life. Judge Je B. Estelle of the criminal division of tha district court sentenced two men convicted of highway robbery, gave them "the limit," as the police and prosecutors of criminals call It The Judge sentenced Charles Morley, alias Craig, and James Evans, alias Smith, robbers of the Walnut Hill pharmacy, to serve fifteen years at hard labor In the atate penitentiary. Morley and Evans perpetrated one of the most daring holdups in recent years when they walked Into the Walnut Hill phar macy and at revolver points compelled the proprietor to fork over all the money In hla cash drawer, 128. the night of October tl. Four small boys were In the store, wit nessed the holdup and testified against Morley and Evans at their trial In district court two weeks ago. When Judge Estelle asked the convicted men what they had to say for themselves they told "ghost" stories, relating their many alleged hardships and declaring that they had to be holdups or starve. "I never had two more dangerous men before me than you are," said the Judge. boring his eyes Into Morley and Evans. "I never had two more dangerous men. I have no more doubt that you went out and held up that store than that I am sitting here. The penalty pr6vlded by law for your offenses Is three to fifteen yeara and you fellows are going to get the limit." The court then passed formal sentence. Morley took a step towards the court and started to tpeak. Sheriff Bralley stepped forward and dragged him away aa the Judge said: "I don't want to hear any more. I do everything I can for such fellows as you whenever there Is a possibility of their being helped." Morley and Evans have served peniten tiary sentences for highway robbery, Mor ley in Missouri and Evans in Iowa. Judge Eatelle was apprised of lhe facta before the men were brought up for sentence. He also waa told that Evana. who on the wltneas stand claimed to be married to a woman with whom he haa associated lo Omaha, haa a wife and four children In Dea Motnea.

Sturdy, the Chicago ex- t pert on Interior decorating, has been at work for several months with his staff of workmen and the rooms and woodwork as well as the furniture have all been made i over. In every design a harmony of color and form has been sought for and there Is a prevailing softness of tone that la car ried out even In tho leaded glass of the windows. The woodwork Is an antique oak finish all the rooms on all three floors and the Irish tuft rugs are In smooth light greens and browns. The walls and celilncs aro changed even to the chandeliers and doorways. Air of the rooms, although simple and subdued, are distinctly masculine in tone except for the ladles' suite. The larger dining room of this suite Is a charming combination of silver and green, the cur tains under grten overhanglngs are the finest lace and the electrolier and brackets are of crystal. The Important changes In the general lnyout of the rooms are the lowering of the windows that overlook the street, the throwing together Into one large reception room the two rooms to the right of the entrance hall, the building of a special entrance passage from the Twentieth street entrance to the ladles' cafe and to the office without passing through the loung ing rooms, the new arrangement of the stairway which makes It more graceful and convenient and the extension of the kitchen. The kitchen has been not only extended, but fitted with more commodious ice boxes and ranges. The work done by Mr. Sturdy has been very satisfactory to the committee and the members are now convinced that the new comforts and beauties were worth the months of homelessness and the $40,000 that they cost.
