WHEN YOU WANT TO T O XT:U1 DO BUSINESS CALL ON W .O. IN lCllOl With the ahwi-oe of Clerk Hanson on .. k,.,Hr a tr:n. those who gathered at k. ,m.rf hnust! Friday evening to dig thu initiative measures found the door locked and the house in darkness. Afii- ujuiiini? for a time, with the ex- ne -tation cf tome one coming who had a key. one of the party went through lichted up and let in the I crowd. . 1 Chairman Charlie Davidson called the meeting to order and A. VV. On thank was elected to serve as secretary i P The initiative measure No. 3H2-363 'on the ballot, was taken up for discus sion. The title is as follows: For the amendment of Article IV of the constitution of Oregon abolishing the ptate senate ; providing none but registered voters be counted on initia tive or referendum petitions; increas ing state and municipal referendum powers; house of representatives to consist of sixty elective members, and the governor and unsuccessful party candidates for governor to be ex-ollicio members: governor to introduce all ap planation bills, legislature not to in crease the amounts thereof, four-year terms, annual sessions: proportional elcetion of members ; proxy system of voting on bills, and those introduced after twenty days to "go to the next session; control and revocation of fran chises. i'rof. Gibson opened the debate with a urn t outline oi me cm, laKing uu the varioU3 points and discussing them. giving his views in lavor 01 unu against each provision of the measure. He said he was in lavor or tne Din on the whole, but admitted that there were some features of it that he did not like, but was satist'td to vote lor it, with the assurance that it would be amended later if it did not prove satis factory. Mr. Gibson s talk was lis tened to with attention and he was warmly applauded. lie said that the bill was the product of the People's Power League, ;of which W. fa. U Ken is the head, but that it. was in ilne with the progressive policies that had been introduced into thisstate by that league, which were becoming more popular with the people as time went on, and he was satisfied that the pro posed measure was in line with that policy. S. W. Stark followed Mr. Gibson, lie said that he was in favor of the in itiative and referendum, but that he had to admit that it was being abused, fie said that when he received a copy of the initiative petitions that was as large as a Scars & Roebuck catalog, he did not have time to properly study the matter contained therein, and he did not believe that very many voters would do so. He viewed with alarm many of the provisions in the bill abol ishing the state senate, the giving of the governor too much power and the making of defeated candidates for gov ernor ex-otficio members of the legisla ture, with votes to the number of the votes they received for the office at the general election. He said that it gave Portland absolute control of the legislature, on account of its large representation, and the large number of votes which would be cast in that city. If Portland wanted to put through any special legislation, it would only be necessary for them to put several candidates for governor in the field and make them members of the legislature. A. 1. Mason spoke in favor of the bill, and others expressed themselves also in the affirmative. K. II. Hartwig said that he had not had time to study the billjor the argu ments for and against, but that from a pasty reading or ;the same was in clined to doubt the wisdom of the measure. He thought there were some very bad provisions in the bill and was against it. An adjournment was taken without taking up any other measure, on ac count of the lateness of the hour, and Chairman Davidson suggested that the meetings be called at 7 :o0 to give more time to discussions.

BATTING IN BASEBALL The Style of 8ticki Ued by the Slug gers Vri Greatly. Heavy hitters of the past and pres ent have always been of widely differ ent opinions regarding their bats, uan Brouthers, the veteran slugger, ex pressed the feelings of most players when he said the bat makes little dif ference to a batsman as long as it feels comfortable and the owner looks upon his favorite stick with something like affection. It can be well added that the style of the batter sometimes has little to do with his hitting, whether it be the choke effect Invented by Willie Keeler or the crouch that was Sam Crawford's stock in trade. Young players make the mistake of copying the style of some great batter and of using a club that is as nearly a replica of the great one's as possible. It used to be said of Larry Lajoie that he could "hit the ball a mile with a toothpick," and Hans Wagner was not particular about the flail he used so long as he could get a ball off the shoulder. As a matter of fact most of the hard hitters make their long drives from balls that would not have been strikes had they been allowed to go to the catcher. Unless one stands fairly well back from the plate it Is difficult to get the shoulders Into a drive made from a perfectly pitched ball. New York World. Richelieu a an Editor. The first reporter of France was Louis XII L The national library pos sesses the manuscripts of thirty-six ar ticles written that king. Almost all are accounts f Ms military operations. These artlcts were published in the Gazette de France. The "copy," how ever, did nt go directly to the printer Louis XIII wrote abominable French, and he had vague notions of orthogra phy, nts articles were corrected and often entrely rearranged by a secre tary named Lucas, who copied them, sending to Richelieu the new manu script Richelieu examined it In his turn and often Introduced additional corrections. At the siege of Corbie the king wrote a few lines eulogistic of the cardinal, but afterward crossed them out of his article, Richelieu wrote them In again, and so they appeared In the Gazette de France. in arc one A Loir on tlu Track of the fast express means serious trou ble ahead if t;t removed, so does loss of appetite.
