"Is that the way you solve your marriage problems. Alice?" I asked. She looked at me mther mischiev ously, as she answered: "Well. I've solved some of the biirgest ones thnt way, and I have found that ln mar rirro ps 'n hWdTe. a little' finesse goes a long way."'-i "Alice," I said earnestly, "I have never with one exception been any thing, less thai? absolutely .truthful with a person f loved. I don't believe I that I could" tell the tiniest white lie '- much concerned over the alleeed destruction of the I to John. I told one for him to mother Oregon constitution by the initiative - and asserts thatlJJJ,, been "Good Lord " said Alice, laughing outright, "you'll fipd before you have lived with a man very long that you will have to tell w;h(te lies and black lies. and lots of splotchy gray lies to every one includ!nj yourself and him." ' "I suppose tna4 it what the little Japanese girl meant when she said: 'It is bettec to lie a little than to be un happy much." " "I. change that f. little," said Alice, still smiljng. "I s;flr, 'It's better to lie much than be unhappy a little!" (Continued Tomorrow) staple. go vejTiment is impossible as loner as a maioritv vote of Dallots cast, no matter how small a proportion of voters -vcte, can pass an. amendment to the constitution, proposed by initiative vote. v There may be some merit in the contention that' it ought to be harder to pass an amendment than a staturp. hSi a "rule only those who have riven the subject muugiu, uo vote upon ercner amendments or statutes, and as o'nlv a comparative minority either study or vote upon them, the result is an intelligent verdict by thinking peo ple, by those best qualified to pass upon the issues as has been amply proven in the past. If two-thirds majority or even a majority of the reg istered voters or of the, number .of .votes cast for can didates was required, few amendments would be passed, because the rank and file have neither inclination- nor time to study the subject and pass it up. -The result would be a constitution as rigid as the present is elastic a re sult that would be highly pleasing to reactionaries of all classes and most satisfactory to big business. It is quite as much the fashion -among seekers of spec ial privilege to sneer at the people as it is among self-seekers to be noisily solicitous in their behalf, but the people somehow or other estimate both factions at their true value.
