THE following are tho closing paragraphs or the brief
of .hu'ksoir II. Rnlslon. Froderielc L. 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.

rrEFERENrEiS in opinion arc said to bo j-esponsiblc
- Tor hoi-so races. '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. Some of Ihe troupe, among them one who Ini'cs
