political institutions which Is worthy of careful thought and consideration Ho calls attention to tho fact now becoming patent that under ho initiative referendum and recall as adopted In flomo states con stitutions can bo destroyed and Indi vidual rights as guaranteed by thorn trampled upon by tho action of a mi nority and ho proposes as a remedy for this that whoro those methods aro in Use compulsory voting bo estab lished with fines for negelct to vote and for repeated offenses the loss of tho right to tho franchise and to hold office Ho reasons that If our system of government is to bo changed from a representative self restrained democ racy to an unbridled ochlocracy which can do anything It pleases on tho whim of tho moment binding ac tion ought nt least to require tho man date of a majority of qualified voters There seems to be little ground for disputing this position and tho noy Qenural points out that compuiB ory voting is already in force In Bel glum whore it reduced tho proportion of stay-at-homes from 25 per cent to 4 or 5 As Is well known In this country a majority of tho voters fall to go to tho polls not iuficquontly and it is a condition of things which ought not to bo permitted to continue Ouht the proposed regulation how ever to be confined to those states as the Attorney General suggests which have adopted the Initiative referen dum and recall 7 To us it seems not Every other civic duty a man must fulfill or suffer for It Service on juries or posses or in the army in time of war if evaded carry a penalty to those who shirk them There is no higher civic duty nor any more essential or important than making the laws for the government of u community and constituting the of ficers to carry them into effect anu the state clearly has the right to In sist that every citizen do his share which is by no means onerous or submit to punishment It may be said that It woulu be wrong to compel a man to voto when there Is no candidate presented whom he approves of or when none of the issues hi ought forward for approval commend themselves to his judgment Even so it would be no hardship to require him to express a preference as his abstention from voting might affect the result aB much as his vote Provision however might be made that should the elector appear before the local electoral authorities they might in their discretion for valid reasons given excuse him from vot ing at a specified election record of the transaction to be made There would doubtless be many de tails to be considered and worked out to make a satisfactory law and there may be objection to the plan which discussion will bring out but no harm can come and much good may from taking the subject under ad visement and looking at it on all sides The Meat of the Future When the secretary of the Depart ment of Agriculture expressed his be lief that there is little prospect of beef getting much cheaper he spoke with knowledge of prospects and con ditions Apparently it was with an eye on the far as well as the near future that he spoke His opinion is founded upon the disappearance of the grazing lands The homesteaders have practically dispossessed the cat tle men who were wont to raise stock in the great unfenced open and send It to the farms for a finishing pro cess The places where cattle have been finished heretofore after their start in the open is the place where they will have to be started as well as finished Beef raising will there fore cost more After a vacation in the west where this was impressed upon him Secretary Wilson was also impressed that relief from the high cost of beef is to be found in turning to mutton Not that there is an ex cess of mutton in the country which may be obtained at bargain rates but the cost of raising sheep is less The meat we eat is very much a matter of habit We have become great beef eaters because beef has been plenty We turn to spring lamb as a del icacy Mutton has its merits Much is consumed under the name of lamb There are vast areas in which sheep may be raised in which cattle could not thrive If they are made grazing places for sheop through the encour agement of tho department of agri culture we may be happy yet Too Emphatic Then you wont marry me No a thousand times no You dont need to say no a thous and times ratorted thef rejected suitor resentfully I only
