Referendum on the Court!,
A suggestion that I receiving considers-
ble commendation because of the belief j
na, . aoop,lon T...UM rti..-...n tt - m. ;
llrlcatlon of good laws by the courts Is
that when the supiem court f a state
voids a la enacted hy the legislature K
should act automatically as a referendum
to the voters of the question. Shall the
decision of the supreme court be sustained?
I'nder existing conditions the adere in
terpretation of the supreme court Is equiv
alent to the veto of an executive except
that It Is unfortunately final. A veto of an
executive may be overcome when the pop
ular demand Is strong, but when a su
preme court has spoken It nut only knock
out the law. but brands the principle as
bad. thus forbidding the enactment of an
other law Involving It.
If this la a government of the people, in
which those who mal: lams must hold
themselves amenable ami subservient to
the people for wIiohs government such
laws are made, there Is no good reahon
why those who Interpret such laws should
not be subject to the same limitations. The
proposed system would give to every law
the stability that would come from popu
lar endorxemcnt. Lincoln Htar. '
What is the next logical step In the
evolution of popular government after
the establishment of an Initiative and
referendum for direct legislation? If
the people confess that they cannot
elect a legislature competent and hon
est enough to. do the work of law
making and constitution-changing, can
they be expected to choose Judges
competent and honest enough to ad
minister Justice?
The argument is here advanced that
a Judicial decision nullifying a law on
the ground of invalidity or unconsti
tutionality has the same effect as an
unconditional veto and therefore an
appeal should lie to the people to say
whether the courts should be sus
tained or reversed. In its essence,
however, a court decision knocking
out a law Is no different than a court
decision awarding damages or impos
ing a penalty for crime. In fact, fre
quently the one is intermingled with
the other in the same decision. To be
logical and avoid difficulties in draw
ing the line, the referendum should
apply to all litigation and the defeated
plaintiff or defendant given a chance
to submit his case to popular vote be
fore accepting the decree aa final.
If the people can decide law suits
better than duly constituted Judges,
why, then, maintain all the expensive
machinery of our courts? Why not
abolish courts altogether and let
everyone with a grievance initiate his
own verdict and have it ratified or re
jected at the polls? If the initiative
and referendum is the correct and
proper thing to check law-makers and
Judges who interpret the laws It might
also Just as well be extended to the
executive and various administrative
departments. When . the governor
grants an unpopular pardon to a pen
itentiary convict why should it not go
to referendum and let the people de
cide? When the governor is asked
to establish a cattle Quarantine which
may be burdensome to some of the
stock raisers, why should they not
have the right to invoke the referen
dum for their protection The Initia
tive and referendum proceeds on the
theory that representative government
In law-making ia a failure and that
the people should govern themselves
directly In mattera of legislation, but
complaints against the courts and ex
ecutive are probably as numerous as
complaints against the legislature. If
we have at last discovered the panacea
insuring good government we should
certainly utilize It to its fullest extent.
Defying Dame Fashion.
The scare in New York that the sup
ply of thf false hair market may be
reduced to the discarded Chinese
queues has evoked a . declaration of
threatened revolt against Dame Fash
Ion. Women assert they will go with
out tbeir rata and puffs and rolls en
tirely before they will take them from
the slick pates of the orientals. But
will they? If it comes to this ex
tremity will they not wear the China
man's bair and say nothing about it,
except, possibly, to explain that they
were not supposed to know whose or
what hair it was?
Defy Dame Fashion? Oh, no.
Woman may like her own way. She
may insist upon her rights and pre
rogatives, but whoever heard of a
woman who rlalmed.lt was her right
to falter In obedience to one of this
imperious mistresses' mandates? That
Is the one authority never questioned
or defied. It Is all very well to make
this fine display of courage against
what the fair ones may regard inscru
table and Intolerable unwritten law,
but-nothing Is likely to come of it ex
cept meek and mild obedience.
So expect no discarding of the false
adornment of woman's head, foolish
man, until Dame Fashion deereea it.
And. according to present commercial
forecasts, that will be no time soon.
The returns are too good. If you
have gone to the pains of getting up
any great amount of enthusiasm over
this outburst of womanly courage just
open the valve and let the steam es
cape. The rats and the puffs and the
rolls will be worn, whether they come
from China. Halifax or the Fiji
islands.

The question of putting public char
ities on a more businesslike basis
should not be sidetracked for a dis
cussion of the adequacy or inadequacy
of any particular institution to meet
the demands on It. or w hether It is re
ceiving the public support It deserves.
It our charitably inclined people were
reasonably assured that the money
given by them . to relieve' distress
would be applied to the parpose in an
effective manner, and wiUiaut waste,
and duplication, they would 4 much
more prompt and ' generous in their

F,10u,1 ne required by law in make a j
showing of their nuances and opera-I

followed up by the formulation of

would no doubt be glad to enact
Rail Rates and Operation.
Lawyer DrandelB estimates that if
the railroads Mere granted the in
crease In rates they demand
they I
would enlarge their earnings about 3
per cent. He contends that far more
than this amount might easily be
saved in more scientific operation.
Though he Is arguing from the stand
point of the shippers' attorney. Mr.
llrandels undoubtedly Is hitting near
the head of the nail. It is quite be
lievable that if the railroads should
unite as faithfully for the purpose of
scientific operation as they have for
scientific rate increases they could
not effect a 3 per cent saving. When
the great skill and resources of rail
road management combine on any one
object they usually get results and we
have had some disclosures of late tbt
tend to show a decided lack in sys
tematic economy of railroad operation.
The Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific are two roads whose records
the last year seem to refute the theory
that railroad operation is down to the
minimum and that higher rates are
essential to fair returns on Investment.
These roads have managed to declare
19 and 13 per cent dividends, without
raising rates, as they did wages, and
yet operating for less than the aver
age for the last ten years. If they, in
their sparsely settled territory, can
do this on a 1 cent per ton mile rate.
h cannot those road8 ,n the ca8torn
part or tne country mat are so persisi-
ently striving to advance their rates.
It may be that these Harriman roads
have not reduced their operation to
more scientific bases than the average
roads of the east. But to contend that
they have or have not would not nec
essarily offer comfort to the east
erners' proposition. It would only
show that they are falling to do some
thing that they could do to improve
conditions without levying heavier
tolls upon their patrons.
Nebraska's Opportunity.
California business men have
merged many large interests into what
is called the United Properties com
pany, incorporated with a capital of
$200,000,000, for the purpose of de
veloping the state. It appears to be
one of the most systematic plans of
construction that has yet been laid In
any Btate of the union? It contem
plates the introduction of thousands
of people from the east and central
parts of the country for settlement
chiefly in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys, where land at fair
prices will be offered and other ad
vantages for homes and good liveli
hoods placed before them. Back of
the enterprise is the best brain and
business acumen, as well as the most
powerful financial resources in the
state, and, incidentally, it may be
stated that James J. Hill, who Is seek
ing to Bhare the Harriman control of
this territory, is said to be a prime
mover.
All of which goes to show that the
movement means business; that it Is
destined to bring large and speedy re
sults. It will, undoubtedly, stimu
late the passage of home-sqekers west
ward, making this year one of the
largest immigration cycles In history.
Nor is the work to be ended with the
year.
This looks like a golden opportun
ity for Nebraska and the other inter
mediate states. Without seeking to
benefit specially at the expense of Cal
ifornia, this state should seize the op
portunity to attract some of these set
tlers. The history of all American
migration sustains the logic of our
theory that a coast-bound heglra helps
Intervening territory. Nebraska, there
fore, could lay its plans for capturing
same of the immigrants and at the
same time promote instead of retard
the California enterprise. If this
state wants to take its proper place
among Its sister states In this work of
development It will have to Join with
them In some concerted, systematic
plan of action. Haphazard methods
will produce only haphazard results.
Certainly Nebraska need not hesitate
for-the want of natural resources and
attractions to exploit, for no slate ex
cels it In these.

Importance of the Cuming: Convention
at flmnha,
Denver Republican.
The meeting In Omaha called for the
lxth of this month to organize a campaign
to .promote settlement In the Transmlssouii
region is evidence that men In many dif -
ferent parts of the far west appreciate the
importance of encouraging the develop
ment of the country. Properly attended,
the proposed meeting should result In much
good.
It la not alone the far west which is
interested in the development . of this sec
tion. It la an Interest which the whole
country shares. The Atlantic coast Is far
from the Pacific slope, but it la concerned
In the development ot the vast region lying
west of the Missouri river. The more the
Rocky mountain and Pacific slope states
are developed, the better will this region
be able to take care of Itself. The less will
It lean upon tho east or look to It for aid.
The country aa a whole is not troubled
about the development of the Atlantic
coast region. Were thai section assailed
by a foreign foe, the whole nation would
rise to Its defense. But in regard to Ha
material interests. Its ability to take care
of Itself is fully recognized. It would be
so respecting the far west if the latter
were occupied by a large population capa
ble of doing all the things which the' de
velopment of the country may demand.
Were It to be attacked by foreign foe, It
would make a brave resistance for a time,
but In Its present condition It might have
to call on the rest of the country for aid.
Thla appeal for aid would not be
necessary It the far west had a large popu
lation and its natural resources were ade
quately developed.
Thus the whole country is Interested in
maintaining a strong front toward the Pa
clflo and, locally, the far west Is Inter
ested because of the direct benefit which
would Inure to It from the settlement and
consequent development of the region lying
between the Missouri river and the Pacific
ocean.

Ilii hard Victor Oulahan Is the new presi
dent of the Gridiron .club of Washington,
having been elected at the annual meet
ing la December, relates Leslie's Weekly.
Mr. Oulahan Is one of the youngest men,
and yet among the oldest In point of ser
vice of the Washington correspondents,
having commenced his newspaper career In
18S6, when he was less than 20 years old.
For many years he was connected with
the United Press and afterward became
correspondent of the New York 8un. Al
though he has been a member of the Grid
Iron club but a short time, ho Is one of
the most popular and active members, i
taking a prominent part in many of Its
unique and successful entertainments. He
was especially known at these as an im
personator of former President RooBevelt.
A year ago Mr. Oulahan was elected vice
president ot the Gridiron club and al
though ha has since moved to New Vork.
he was given the compliment of an election
as president on account of the high esteem
In which he was held. lie Is still promi
nently connected with the management of
the New York Sun. During the campaign
of 1H0S Mr. Oulahan was In charge of the
press bureau of the repybliean national
committee and
filled that most exalted
place with conspicuous ability, enhancing
his already high reputation.

has cordially endorsed the recommendation.
Some members of congress are heartily In
favor of the proposition and the Farmers'
National congress is doing yeoman's work
In that direction. Nevertheless the mail of
botli senators and representatives con
tinues to be flooded with protests emanat
ing apparently from merchants, farmers
and residents of the smaller towns all
insisting that they will be irretrievably
injured by such legislation. The extent and
persistence of thlt campaign of opposition
argues strongly against its spontaneity.
Probably Mr. Hitchcock could not better
further the- reform he advocates than by
J discovering and disclosing the source of

In front of the equestrian statue of Gen

"That horse." he said, "is the second

"Where is the best one?" asked hla Com
panion. "In Thomaa circle," iald Mr. Clark'
quickly. "The man who made the. horse
on which the statue of General Thomas sits
must have been brought up with horses,
and I'll tell you how I know It. The
mane of the animal la flecked a little on
one side. I suppose I have reached for

and lifted bits of the mane over to the

ber did not embarrass the gentlemen from
South Dakota In the least.
Kansas City Times: Larimer's tainted
election Is In no degree a psrti-sn matter.
His strongest opponents in the senate are
republicans, and Lorimer hns no busier
worker In his behalf than Halley of Texas.
Chicago News: One protecting his Inno
cence with such vehemence as Lorimer
does should help the rest of us discover
where the bribe money came from and'
who paid It out for the purpose of dls
crediting him.
Philadelphia Bulletin: Word Comes from
Washington that those senators who are I
closest to Ijorlimr of Illinois and who will
probably vote to uphold the report declar
ing his election valid nre endeavoring to
prevail upon him to resign hla seat. Cer
tainly It Is to be hoped that they will he
able to win him to their way of thinking,
for such a course on Lorhner's part will
spare the country a lot of dirty nanUal
and show that he has some sense of the
fitness of things.

Philadelphia bulletin.
Within ten years approximately tkwiu.ww
acres of farm land In the United States
and Canada have been taken from the
farm horse and turned over to the steam
or oil plow, which cuts a furrow not only
more swiftly but better. Like an article
auction, the plow horse, which has also
erved to draw the family to church on
Hunday and whose traditional name Is
"Dobbin," Is "going, going," and In time
be gone." The reason foi the change Is
simple. Not only have the mechanical ex
perts of this county, and of Kurope aa
well, Improved the movable gasoline motor
and Kteam engine to such an extent as to
make It practicable for driving, plows at
a great saving as compared with horse
power, in Us literal sense, but they have
so perfected It that It may be utilised
for numberless smaller chores, such as
driving the churn, running the grind
stone, threshing grain pumping water and
sawing wood.

A CHEERFUL LIAR.
( S. E. Klser In the Record-Herald.
I like to hear the wild winds roar
When all the scene Is dreary,
When ley waves dash on the shore
Where all waa once so cheery;
My heart Is glad when grandpa draws
l'p near the dying fire
I say these things to you because
I'm such a cheerful liar.
I thank the gods that 1 must strive
Among the tollers dally;
Tin toll that keeps my hope alive
And spurs me forward gaily;
My state Is one of oonstant glea,
1 claim no vain desire
I say these things to let you sew
That I'm a cheerful liar.
I would not If I could have wealth.
To me 'twould be distressing:
More dear to me than gold is health.
Which ever la a blnaslnc;
I toll within a narrow groove,
And acorn those who are higher
I merely tell Ton this to prove
That I'm a cheerful liar.
With what I have I'm satisfied,
I have no foolish yeamlna;
To put my dally tasks as Ida,
To be from labor turning;
Fsch morning gleefully 1 go
To earn what I require
I say these things to let you know
That I'm a cheerful liar.
