To say the least it acts as an effective brake on legislation. . The tar is right when it says that the people of Missouri ought certainly to vote tgr the pending constitutional amend ment for the initiative and referendum. It does not attempt to do away with representative government. It merely provides that the people shall not be wholly dependent upon the legisla ture. l they desire certain things done they can get them done, and if they desire to prevent certain other things they can pre vent those things. No legislative body of any state or the na tion has been so wisely and wholly subservient to the popular will that a. some time in its career it has not done things that the people should have had the power to prevent, or that it has nflt left undone some things which the people should have ha,d the right to accomplish. i The 'power whiqh the people ta.Vo n8w yo exercise to pass on these proposed constitutional amehAnontSiijj.

With self-interest eliminated, there would be no political workers, and but what's the use?

Results of &hoot on Rifle Range Yesterday fbiSy Company Still Highest :::::::::::: Best I Creamery Butt oc Roll From remarks overheard at various times and places, we are about convinced that there are men Md women whose idea of "good times" can never be met by anything short of every man's drawing the salary he thinks himself worth, and the maintenance of free dressmaking and millinery establishments by the gov eminent. HOBSON WORTHY OF RESPECT Captain Hobson drew the biggest crpwd of the campaign last night, probably enough to have filled the court room three tim'es. if it had been able to get in. And it was noticeable that the ladies were there in great numbers, indicating that the cap tain is' still a hero in the eyes of the fair sex, although he is a married man now and has to be a littl more careful than for merly in the distribution of his kisses. But seriously, Captain Hobson is a man worthy of the distinction he receives, earnest and sincere,, but porhaps an idealist in some of his notions re garding popular government. It required an initiative mind to conceive the idea of block ing the "harbor at Santiago, and only a man of curage would have proposed to execute the plan and take hi3 chances of com ing out of it alive, after his boat had been sunk by the fire of tl'o Spanish guns. No commonplace man is capably bf such achieve ments, and his addresses show him to bo a thinker who Believes in what he says. "Ho docs notjloliver a partisan speech but rath er a lecture on government that appeals to men and women who take life soriously and are really concerned in the welfare of thej country more than party success. He employs few of tho arts of tli stump sponger and makes no appeal to partisan prejudice, and is probably more effective with tho better class of voters than more eloquent and entertaining speakers, since conviction and earnestness are essentials of the true eloquence that really i)ves yen and women to action. Oh, yesi we sympathize with poor Howard Gould, whose in come has been reduced to $400,000 a year, but not to the extent of passing the hat for him.' .. By cutting out the actresses he can still manage to live. We know several men who do so on less. Let us believe that the country is so big and its businessfci torojjts on such a firm basis that it will make no material differ ence who is elected president. Be an optimist, with faith in your fellows, confidence in th6 loyalty of the American citizenship ! Upon a man's judgment in sizing up the knock on his door depends whether be gets kicks or bouquets. If he wins, he gets the latter and knows that it was opportunity ;if he loses he'gets the former and realizes that it was only hard luck. a ' The Guard has absolute faith in Eugene's future -that is why it has installed the finest newspaper and? printing plant in the state outside of Portland. The best is none too good for uE gene, the Queen City of the Willamette valley. With so many swell society women nursing and coddling dogs it does seem a little unjust to charge them with being utterjy lacking in the mother instinct. At last the unwritten law seems t have slipped a cog, as the jury in a Missouri murder trial in which it was invoked found the dafendant guilty, and he will be locked up for life. The results made by Company C J5 of the O. N. G. of this city yesterday on their rifle rjage south of thelj city, was a totaMoOTe of 559.

UNIVEgSITY FACULTY MUSICAL RECITAL WAS APPRECIATED Only about ten days more until election. Then "Bill" is sure to be elected and the country will be saved again. Yep, they're on the home stretch now, with "Bill" well in the lead and bound to win, unless he breaks a leg. In spite of many counter attrac tions, a very large0 and responsive audience assembled in Vlllard Hall lost night to witness the musical in troduction Miss Mary Morgan and Miss race Campbell. The program was varied and most interesting.

What can be accomplished in abating the white plague .rec ognized by physicians as the worst disease prevalent in civilized countries, is shown by tDu fact that the New York health de partment has accomplished (decrease of 4 6 per cent in the mortality from tuborculos in that iSty in only fifteen years. The medical mon of the country are of thtftoliof that the dread disorder yhich has diQroyed thousands of lives each year hroughom the landman almost, if not entily, be abolished in (SJrirty years. The medical profession has made great strides dur ing the past few years, and diseases which twenty or tliQty years ago were considered fatal are now treated successfully.
