SUUlons ami William K Richardson, of counsel for the state of Oiogon. in behalf of the initiative and referendum in the Oregon . .. .. . .. , , i t j i ni j case now uelore tne supreme court ol rue unueu Mates. "The application now being made to this court is ex traordinary to the last degree. A private corporation, deeming itself aggrieved, asks this court in eltect to over turn the legislative systems of eight states of the Union; to declare that these slates, while apparently equal mem hoi's of the Union with the other states, have in tact, ex cluded themselves and are living under systems of laws antagonistic in spirit to those which should prevail in the American states. "It asks a decision, the effect of which would he, so far as this court is concerned, to nullify perhaps two score ol important laws acquiesced in by millions ot people. "It asks thnt this court may sot a precedent which will .justify the disregard of a number of constitutional amend ments which have received the sanction of thousands of our voters. "It asks that the sunreme court of the United States shall travel far beyond the judicial limits sot to it by the constitution, by our traditions of government, by the prac tice of more than a hundred and twenty years, and assume to pass adversely to the expressed views of the executive and congress, given upon purely political questions. "It has asked, for the logiv of its position can bo no less, that this court shall say that the people may not act directly upon any law. even though their power so to act bo reserved bv their constitution. "It has called upon this body to defeat the natural and peaceful evolution of republican institutions, and to in augurate a reactionary revolution. Instead of permitting the forward movement of the people, under our constitu tion, allowing freedom to grow with the growth of public intelligence, it would make of their constitutions some thing greater than the people creating them, bands stronger than iron, preventing national progress. "It asks that, although two co-ordinate branches of the trovorninont, and although two successive presidents, have recognized the initiative and referendum as appropriate under a republican form of government, nevertheless, this court shall declare the contrary, and say in effect that in its opinion not only Oregon but seven other states of the Fnion are not such members of the American common wealth of states, as are contemplated by the constitutien: that their senators and representatives ;tre wrongfully seated at the capitol; that when a president certifies to th official character of the officers of Oregon and seven other states of the Union, the utmost he is doing is to recognize them as do facto and not de jure officers. "The fact is not to bo overlooked that utterances or this court are simply statements of the law as between the parties thereto, and that even though this court could be induced in this case to hold that the initiative and referen dum amendment to the constitution of Oregon was con trary to the federal constitution, the amendment itself would still remain, and similar provisions would likewise remain iu a number of other states. Whether operative or inoperative -in the courts, the constitutions, until the people have acted, would remain in the judgment of the appellant unrepublican, and the senators and representa tives of the states in question still not entitled to retain or receive seats in congress, and presidential certifications of the acts of civil officers continue to be certifications to the acts of those who were representing an unrepublican state. 'The most vivid imagination will hardly suffice to picture the political and legal ills to follow upon the grant ing of the correctness of the appellant's position. "But above all, tho moral and social ill resultant upon the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the initiathe ind referendum would be infinitely greater. To say that the people rule, and in the next breath to say that they may not rule save through representatives who may be faithless to their trust, or may fail to represent; to say that the evils committed by representatives through mis takes as to their mandate, through corruption, through official pressure, arc beyond the control of the constitu ents, is to make popular government a mockery. To say that reforms may not be had save by the chance agreement ot a majority ot the legislature with a majority of the peo ple, or, in the case of constitutional amendments, of two thirds, or three-fifths, or three-fourths, or two successive legislatures with the popular majority, is to urge the placing in the way of natural and peaceful political prog ress of obstacles which may lead even to possibly dan gerous irritation. Jf we would pretend to have a govern ment of the people, we must be prepared to live up to our pretension and not to 'keep the word of promise to the ear, to break it to our hope.' " the plaoo designed in real shows for tho star, had evi dently called in the assistance of Bacchus for the local performance, to make her eyes really and truly bwight as called for in the title. And Bacchus also made her simperingly silly. ' Of course many of those Who saw "Bright lOyos" say it was a fine show. That is why the writer does not write dramatic criticisms. Ho recognizes the superiority of the taste that prefers a big paste-glass blazer to that, which chooses the hwitinificant diamond. We're Always on TH Watch h " """ i Jm,, PF.

'J'Jiey must also be hold acKoiiiitnblf foi' some theatrical entertainments at least to nothing else can such a show as "Bright Eyes" be attributed. "Bright JSyes" is labeled a "musical comedy." There is mighty little music and less coined', its melodies, if any of the refrains can be thus labeled, are unoriginal and reminiscent. There is no political or social satire, no parodies of literature or travesties of philosophies, no lit erary composition, and only the faint flavor of a bor rowed plot. Without actors or actresses, without soloists or singers worthy of the name, "Bright Eyes" is simply an aggre gation of show girls, niore or less gorgeously arrayed, a collection of clothes and legs, with a few good specialties, such as can be seen at any vaudeville show, thrown in as t redeeming feature. Of noise, both instrumental and vocal, there is no dearth, but noise, frequently discordant and blatant, is not music any more than a romping frolicing chorus is comedy.
