So said a great st.-itenian, and it is no less true now than when lilst expressed, but under the stress of present' eenditions perlu-.ps the expres- ! siiui i more pronouneed. J In most states where popular government litis been adopted there has been the tendency to seandal, fraud and perjury which threaten to destroy the favor with whieh measures have been received and regulate them to the serap heap. Every reader remembers the scandals and favors connected with the referendum in Oregon during the past two years. How that many names were declared to have been fraudulently at tached to the different petition-. Such conditions in Ohio have obtained that Governor Cox has nude a number of suggestions to the next legislature to remedy the evil in that state. The proposed amendments follow: "That the perjury and forgery laws be so broadened that a false petition will be a felony. That no circulator of petitions may work outside his own conn ty, and that none may collect more than 200 signatures. That oath as to the genuiness of a petition must be made be fore the county clerk; not a notary public. That all petitions be filed with the county board of electors, and that body be given power to in vestigate the signatures. That only registered electors te pei mitted to sign petitions. The expenditures in connec tion with petitions should either be prohibited or the corrupt practices act be made to cover them. That circulators be required to make sworn financial state ments." Oregon might profit by some such enactments. However the tendency of the times, when judged by the frauds that are being and have been exposed in cities and corporations in diverse places, are toward evil and in justice, and unless there is a re turn to right living and right conditions it is little use to legis late. It is not so much the creation of laws, but their en forcement that will bring equi table conditions. Copyright, 1913, by tho rununm-l'ui'ltlc Intorimtlnmil Exposition Co.

The tusk of the female is not so curved as that of the male, and the fine nerve passage is not so clearly seen.
