"Kternal vigilance is the price
of liberty." 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.

well of Dr. C. J. Smith as a
candidate for governor but is
obliged to modify its opinion
becau.se the doctor stands for
law enforcement and upholds

from Dr. Smith containing the

Ivory Billiard Balls.
The experience of the workers
who turn ivory for billiard halls lias
eliown that, as it dries, ivory shrinks.
Tlie tusks of the cow elephant hnve
been found best adapted to the
making of billiard balls. The tusk
of the female is not so curved as
that of the male, and the fine nerve
passage is not so clearly seen. Bil
liard balls are turned in the rough
and kept in a warm rim for a
long time, sometimes as long as two
years. Then, afier shrinking, they
are turned again.
