It carried by much more than 100,000 majority, approximately FOUR TO ONE. This vote is a searchlight that reveals the shores of the future. The people of the United States will settle their problems, including the bread-and-butter problem, in the interest of humanity, and—the courts will not stop them. A Real Good Joke ‘The life of the interstate commerce commission is at stake. Four times has Taft's new commerce court passed on its decisions, and four times has the court reversed them, every Sone the interest of the rail- roads, inst shippers consumers. ad the people—this commerce court— Every once in a while a former United States sen ator drops off, and a fellow wonders if, after all, it’s 80 much of an honor. Most of 'em are forgotten even before they die. if you want to be remembered, do sqmething that I ant really n the world a better place for men, women children to live in. An elderly man and woman in Kansas City stepped out from their cheap boarding house the other Sunday evening and went to one of the city parks for a quiet visit They strolled about the park, like two lovers, forgetting for.the moment all their troubles in their “Dear Togetherness In am unguarded and unecautious moment they kissed each “other. An cagle-cyed policeman espied their osculatory caress and haled them into court therefor. A law provides that there must be no kissing in public im that state. It is not likely that the law was ever intended to prevent a husband fron kissing his wife if he was sudderily moved so to do, But there is @lways some officious policeman and some withered-up judge at hand to read into law all the inhuman inconvenience of Which it is capable. So this man and his wife were bot! sentenced to pay a fine of $100 each or take it out in the work Poor fond, foolish old people! When will they ever leary that. sentiment is not consonant with law? = Think of th« hideous and insidious menace lurking in the kiss a wife give a husband. Mayhap some younger couple, chancing to sp upon that sacred ceremony, would dream dreams of a day t come when far down the journey of life they should still feel th morning splendor in their unaging hearts, and-—the old love suddenly ieap to its first-born wonder in a kiss! And this sort of thing is certainly not proper in a country where mar Tiage is so widely looked upon as but a temporary indisposition A Young Man’s Chance How many young men are looking for something notable in the way of a business opportunity we do not know, but doubtless a lot of ‘em. How many have push and brains we don't know. Still less do we know—and it is very important —how many have a good education, willingness to tackle an easy foreign language, and money to enable them to live and travel for a year or so. But here's a suggestion: ’The Panama canal will be finished, probably, in less than two years. It wiil open to American trade and commerce ~~ several rich, half-developed countries on the western coast of South America. Before we can do business with them we “must know their people, their needs, their ways, even their prejudices and idiosyncrasies. Napoleonssaid: “The first essential of victory is informa- tion.” Young man, get the information, if so inclined and able to do it, and you are more than half likely to find yourself face to face with a big opportunity. Ten years hence there will be a lot of Americans who at tained success: via South America. Happiness is a pleasure that lasts. The initiative and referendum pievents the law- maker from disregarding the people’s rights—he can’t sell thern out, because he can’t give clear title to what he sells. The people under the referendum always have the power to repudiate the bargain. A smile is legal tender in all countries.
