:A DANGEROUS rOSSIBILITV '
SUNDAY is a good day for aober
ref lection. V: It la' an auspicious
moment ', with I, ample time to
consider soma . matters bearing
on the common welfare. It la a fit
ting hour for the citizen to take a
glimpse at what could happen in Ore
gon it a man unfriendly to the initia
tive and referendum should Jbe. .elect
;d governor. JThe memorable fight
tnat Governor Chamberlain . made
with the legislature of J905 over the
emergency clause on pending bills is
unforgotten history. That fight with
the ls8ue.it presented is the basis
of a tremendous state Issue at the
present moment. In that session al
most every bill' introduced carried
the emergency clause; and as the
citizens of this state know, or ought,
to know, the emergency clause is a
bar to vs6 of the referendum. Any
act that carries the emergency clause
is beyond the reach of the referen
dum, and is therefore - beyond the
reach of the people in any desire
they may have t veto It.
All this Governor Chamberlain
pointed out in a ringing message, in
which he declared to the legislature
that measures presented to him for
signature must, except in cases .of
actual emergency, have the emergen
cy clause omitted in order, that the
people, in case they bo desired, could
invoke the referendum. . , 1 -
What If a man unfriendly to the
referendum and initiative were elect
ed governor? . The question is one of
tremendous import to the citizens of
the state. . Such a governor-in coi.
lusion with the legislature could paas
measures with the emergency clause
attached, those measures would be
come the law; and no power of the
people could intervene to prevent. In
effect, the referendum would become
inoperative and as null and void as
though It had never been passed. The
legislature and the governor, could
repeal the direct primary law and
restore the convention system In all
Its glory. They could repeal the cor
poration franchise tax, law. the cor
rupt practices law or any other of
the many excellent measures that
have been passed by the people, and
no power in the" hands, of the peo
ple could check them In their pur
poses or arrest them in their designs.
They could ''put the knife to Btate

European governments.' '
; Jtfenelik believed ".that he - was a

and the Queen , of Sheba, and while
he may not have had a duly authen

could prove that he was fabricating.
He was not purely an African, but
manifestly .was a scion of. the Se

old his father Menellk I died, and
the boy prince .was imprisoned by
a usurper of the throne. ' After a
while he escaped, and after 20 years
fighting regained his threne.
