Editor tod Publisher Deserting an Ideal That bland and beautiful belief in the voice of the people as the voice of God, characteristic of all uplifters and reformers, has recently sustained severe shocks. The simple and childlike faith in the unerring wisdom of the multitude has been shaken by recent events. There were the people of Massachusetts voting over whelmingly against providing a congressional mother to keep youth idle until the 18th birthday and here were the people of Oregon voting against an income tax law guaranteed to cinch the classes and free the masses. As a consequence our own welfare workers shy at submitting the child lalior amend ment to a referendum to permit legislators escape going on record and our political prophets object to letting the voters say whether or not we can be free of income tax agitation for a stated interval. Hear the changed tunes of the siren voiced champions of the people and arch-baiters of the corporations. Let us cite a typical illustration. Here is Senator Joseph, best little fighter and bleeder for the dear peepul, of them all, declaring tl t "with money and propaganda you can put over anything on the people," and therefore objecting to any more referen dums. Can such things be? It's a very interesting discovery, but was made by the uplifters long ago. That is why we have the ballot crowded every election with freak proposals. Reformers found out early that propaganda and campaigning in behalf of any measure with a special appeal could be put over the voiceless and indifferent majority by a noisy minority as easily as a legislature could be coerced and intimidated by a bloc of persuasive and threatening lobbyists. But it is poor rule for re farmers that works both ways. . Facts of the matter are that people are "fed up" on uplift and welfare, exasperated .by the multiplcity of sumptuary laws, wearied of passing ujxm isssues they have not time to study and elected legislators to decide, have found that politicians promises are intended only to tret them to pic-counter, and political cure-alls for economic ills are fake nostrums, and would welome any opportunity to escape referendums on all kinds of legislation for a stated period of years, for all they get out of it is taxation and regulation by bureaucracy. As Abe Lincoln said, you can fool some of the people all the time, some of the people part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time and that is the aim and object of the uplift and the paternalistic politicians parading under its banner. Prison Probe Needed Early in the session, charges of mismanagement, ineffic iency, lack of discipline and waste of public funds were made against the state prison management, charges much graver and of greater consequence than those made against the prohibition commissioner yet the legislature, which investi gated the latter half its session, has paid no attention to the prison, although the welfare of its inmates is of far greater consequence than the welfare of boot-leggers. ,' If the charges are true, and they were backed up with considerable evidence, a serious situation exists. If they arc not true, the warden should be publicly exonerated, and an investigation should be demanded by him for this purpose. Eefore adjournment, the legislature owes it to itself and to the people to apixiint a committee on prison inquiry to make a thorough investigation and report to the governor' at its earliest opportunity, for it is too late now to report to the legislature at this session.

An Absorbing Novel V ---- - yBy IDAH McGLONE GIBSON ) WHERE WILL IT EVDf - Flually after Hud aud 1 bad duv cussed this over and over again, continued Kathlvi Evana' manus cript, I a pent one night wonder ing if I would dare risk the kind of marriage I saw all about uw As mora lug dawned I had almost decided that I would aceapt Rod as my husband. All throuKh the morning hours was decidedly happier than I had been for months. I was do ing my work with a cwing that I knew was good and I said to myself that it was because I wan going to marry Rodney Evans. I wan hurrying along to finkn a tricky shaft of light which would fall obliquely upon myi model who was posing fur Adonis! when Rod buret in my studio, j J was furious. "Did you not see the card on my door 'Engaged with model. Keep out?" j ' but I didn't dream it meant me," he answered, look in? uhocked because I was employing a popular male dancer to pose for me. "It did mean you. It meant just what it oaid." I told him as with a nod 1 duunicsed the model. I Then we quarreled quarreled! frightfully. I accused him of be-! ing jealous of me and explained that his e.ctlon in coming into my studio unannounced meant tka: he felt as though he owned mo! and it was one of the reasons why I would never marry him. "My life, my mode of living Ks my own," I told him, "and I shall allow no man to regulate it for me. Rather I .shall go through life without love yes. even with out you." I knew immediately that It was .1 great mistake to make this ad mission for Rodney sprang for ward and took ne In his arms. I tried to draw back, exclaiming. "Don't! Don't do that, Rodney. It is cruel of you to take advantage of me. You know as well as I that when I feel your careens arms about me I am yours. I know now when you have enougu to make up with me not by reas on, not by threshing out the mat ter and finding which is right, but by cartiMetf nidkiug me subaiit to your dumiuaut will, 1 know if we were married and you tried it often I khuuld bate you, bate you as hundreds of other wives hate their hu bands daily even while they submit to their kUe and opinions." Then Rodney tried to reason with me but I knew it was against bis wilt that he oidn't eare to reason with any woman he did not consider them worthy of mas culine argument. I knew he was quite a tempera ment ;U a I and that our only hope of any happiness at all fur I have never doubted my love for my bualand hi to lite most of our live apart. As usual we came to no conclu sion and were as far apart as when we besruti the discussion. At laat I j.uxiu-d hiiu away from me with all my strength. "Why don't you go? I'm tired. I want lo ret. I cun't stand any more emotional strain. I want to he alone. Rodney looked hurl. "Why do you fight agulnst me? You mut kuinv, , Kalhlyn, that there will surely come a time when you will not want to be alone, when you will want a husband, when you will want children. You know you love me as I love you. Yon know at the present time I am tliliikit's more uf you than uny tiling ilse in the world at you are of pi. Jt is foolishness for you to say that your drawing board and my typewriter are of mors importance in our lives than our love. "Why can't you take the Joy that Is yours today? Xliy can't you be satisfied with our love with out thinking of the day when your drawing boird aud my typewriter will put It aide as you any it will? "Now you think as I do that the day m lost when wa are not to gether for soma part of It. You look for my coming. You usually hate to have me leave" "Yea, Rodney, and it Is because I always want to know the thrill of your presence, because I never want to be bored with ou or tired of you, that 1 must not marry you." "Kathlyn, If I thought you meant that I would try to tear my love for you out of my heart. I would pray to God to let me forget you. But I am sure you don't mean it, dearest. There was a tudden change in his expression. He seemed afraid of his emotion. Ha pushed ma from him lightly. "Go and get ready for dinner. I'll stay here and admire your &Ketch. It is quite wonderful." I noticed, however, as I left the room, Rodney was not looking at my picture. His hands were clenched at his sides and I am sure that he was asking himself as I was asking myself, "Where will It all end?" Tomor row Love mid Marriage Humuhrevs Annroved Washington, Feb. 1.

(Substituting for Barney Google, during Billy DeBeck'i illness) Why Pick on the Monkey? A preacher at Norfolk, Va., yesterday tetered a monkey on his pulpit while he preached a sermon on "Man or Monkey." The diapatches atate "the climax for the contcretra tion and the monkey came when he wag held aloft in the pulpit, a stern finder thrust toward him and the pastor challenged anybody in the church to stand up and concede common ancestry with the simian." This exhibition of the simian in man was not ordinal it hug been staged before in the pulpit by notoriety seeking preachers and if the poor little chained captive from the tropics could have spoken, he would probably have been the first to disclaim relationship with his tormentor. At any rate, the monkey played the more dignified part. -Why pick on the monkey? The evolutionists believe that a!! life on the planet was of common origin and that not only the monkey and the man had common ancestry, but every creature that roams the earth and every plant that adorns it hud a common origin hundreds of millions of years ago when life was first generated in the birth of the world.
