Merely the personal epinion of a judge who happens, at the moment, to be on the bench Ai century ago, there was a Justice Wilson, from Georgia, on the supreme court of the United States. A question arose as to what constitutes “a republican form of government, ice Wilson said: gre a citizen, I know the gt haga of ay — Georgia) to be republican, and my short definition of such a ‘ al is Sas ‘conatritoted on his rinciple, THAT THE Bip: POWER RESIDES IN THE BODY OF THE PLE.” °* The initiative and referendum are on the way to the su- preme court of the United States. The charge is that they do not supply “a republican form of government, guaranteed to the geveral states by the constitution.” é z Justice Wilson long since turned to dust. What is the nal opinion of his successors, the men who happen to @ecupy the bench in 1911? « he personal opinion of five out of nine of these men will be the law—yes, and the constitution! And if one of them, like Justice Shiras ia the income tax case, should afterward Ghange his mind, then the law and the constitution would be ly different—one man’s view outweighing the judgment of nation! Can’t Smell the Blossoms ‘The Boston suffragettes have indorsed a new marriage serv- fee, devised by Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, one of their prom- fment leaders. It is as follows: “I take thee to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, etc., in sickness and in health, to love, honor and cherish, till death us do part. ‘ “I promise to aid and assist my husband (or wife) in every way and help him (or her) to uphold his (or her) political wews, and | agree to settle all marital difficulties out ourt. There are two features of this service that rather grate on our nerves. The first is the promise to help each other uphold their political views. If it means that they have got to agree im politics it susiains one popular objection to equal suifrage— the objection that women will generally vote with their hus- bands, or that weak-minded husbands will be dominated by @trong-minded wives. In either case we get “boss rule” instead @f independent thought and action, _ ‘Then suppose a socialist man marrics a very. conservative ‘woman, or vice versa. How in the world are they going to help ach other “uphold” their “political views” without sacrificing their convictions? Looks like trouble, from the drop of the hat! Finally, we don’t like that suggestion about the settlement “marital difficulties.” Of course, it is well to keep them out court. But if there is one day in a man’s life when he might be spared even the suggestion of possible “marital difficulties,” | itis his wedding day. Really, this suifragette marriage service doesn’t smell of @range blossoms! We Can March Backwards “We did get along with competition; we can get along with it. We did get i without monopoly; we can get along’ President Tait We did get along with the stage coach; we can get along with it. We did get along without the railroad; we can get along without it. 6 And yet the only trouble with the railroad (and some other things) is that it is used as an instrument of exploitation, rather than a tool of social service. Let Her Can, Anyhow! ‘The housewife who is putting wp preserves today is probably loa fag money by it, because the Sugar Trust has raised prices by $1.82 burdred pounds since July. But shail mother quit putting ‘em up? We say, no, sir! because mother puts into those pears, those peaches, those without number, something—we never could find out what— can't be got in the raw article or in any old binsted factory stuff ever saw. This is our personally selfish reason. _ Secondly, there never was a kid who enjoyed life wholly without a @hance to hang xround and smear himself, inside and out, with the tall the juices, sugars, jellies and jams that mother was putting jose cans or jars.

Hest of all, the joyous, loving, gener wirit of mother proves it. Her smile, her happy activity, her pleas- doing things for you prove that she's saving money. Drat the Sugar Trust!
