Official Paper of Itasca County Michigan went Democratic and Governor-elect Ferris has selected as his private secretary, William P_ Nisbett of Big Rapids. Mr. Nis- Bett is well known to a great many Grand Rapids citizens, where he visits occasonally with his son, Will Bisbett. Anyone who has the pleas- wre of Mr. Nisbett’s acquaintance and has any idea of the duties of @ governor's private secretary, will at once conclude that Michi- gan’s new governor has exercised most excellent judgment in the se- feciion of his confidential adviser.

There is evidence at hand however—most. convine- ing evidence—that the value and use of the referendum is not yet fully appreciated or understood vote on constitutional amendments |dence that there is room and need | tence and are ambitious to accumu-. |tthe people. By these amendments it is pro- posed to change the fundamental laws of the state by vote of all the electors. In this the referendum principle is employed. The people ef today are given the right to ap- prove or reject the proposed chang- es submitted by act of the state legislature. In order to carry an amendment to the constitution. it must receive a majority of all the voles cast at an election. It is not an argument here as to whether amendments should be carried or lost. The small vote cast either for or against is the most notable result of the use of the referen- dum principle at the present time. Most proposed amendments are lost by default—the electors failing to vote yes or no. A surprisingly » number of citizens freely con- fess their ignorance of the signi- ficance of amendments, and entire- ly ignore them when in the vot- ing booth. There is no excuse for such ignorance on the part of citi- zens who can read the English lan- guage. They simply fail to reach the standard of good citizenship. And herein is furnished the evi- that are submitted biennially to of much education among the peo- ple before satisfactory results can be had in the making of laws by direct vote. This is no argument, however, against the principle. The svoner these grave responsibilities are thrust upon the masses for solution the sooner will the neces- y education be.taken up and pursued by inuividuals until every sovereign citizen will become a competent legislator. There need be nv cause for alarm when the people are trusted. The process of pojiti- cal evolution that. goes 9n.and) on will satisfaciorily solve all perptex— ing problems. CHRSTMAS.

And it is a very welcome change, thank you. While we are celebrating our Xmas festivities it is interesting to give a thought of how we came to have such customs. Not everyone knows, for instance, our Santa Ciaus came from Holland, our Xmas | tree from Germany, the Xmas stock- ings from Belgium and _ France, while the universal greeting “Mer- zy Christmas!"; was shouted. one to another by the*English many years | ago. jag Have a right, Merry Xmas and a This is the son of the year j}when everyone is looking for some- | thing new in stockings.

Through an in- terpreter he tried to tell Judge Hughes that he was crazy when he killed the girl. The prospects of an unhappy Christmas for his family was the ap- parent cause of the suicide of Paul Baer, aged thirty-two, foreman of a cigar factory at Melrose. who drank the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid. Five Blackduck young people were injured, one so severely that he is not expected to live, in an automobile wreck near Blackduck. The party had attempted to speed up hill and the machine turned over.
