Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just like
candy, arc particularly prompt, and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive

come In contact, apparently acting as
a regulatlvo tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming wcaknesB. and aiding to re

healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are unsurpassable
and Ideal for the use of children, old

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM *
What is meant by the initiative and
referendum? The question is so of
ten asked, It seems that a contribu
tion to the columns of The News and
Courier on the subject would be wel
comed by a large number of readers.
It is as follows:
To the Editor of The News and Cou
rier: Some explanation of the opera
tion of the Initiative, the referendum
and the recall may bo desirable, as
they are looked upon as institutions
of the far West, foreign to our ex
perience. Yet they are not so new
and strange, and are but a develop
ment of the "right of petition" which
is rooted in the foundation of English
liberty and is specifically protected
by the State and Federal constitu
tions: "the right of the people peace
ably to assemble and to petition
* * ? for the redress of grievances."
It is natural that with the growth of
the democratic spirit there should be
evolved some method of enforcing
the demnnd which gives rise to a pe
tition, If backed by a majority. Thus
the initiative and the referendum,
though spoken of as brought from
Switzerland, are Indigenous growths
wherever there Is a living democracy,
and have developed naturally in each
republic, the later development In the
younger having the benefit of the ex
perience of the older.
These instruments are included in
the Commission Government Acts re
cently passed by our legislature, and
have been available for two years in
Columbia, though nobody has seemed
to feel any need for calling them into
use. One of the popular achievements
.of Governor Wilson was the enact
ment of a similar law for New Jer
sey and his campaign for its adoption
by the larger cities.
The only Southern State to adopt
these constitutional amendments for
its government is Arkansas, where
some two years ago Mr. Bryan went
and spoke for the amendments. The
movement is not so advanced for
states as for cities; the machinery is
not so readily employed in a large and
scattered constituency, and is urged
for states only for line In extraorinnry
cases, the fact of Its availability be
ing expected to stimulate legislators
and largely prevent the need of resort
to its employment.
The initiative? Anybody may draw
a proposed law as he thinks it ought
to be, and if a prescribed per cent
of voters sign a petition asking for
an election on the question of its
adoption, the petition and draft being
filed with the secretary of State, an
election must be held within a fixed
time, at which ballots are cast for or
against the law, and a majority vote
enacts it, without submission to the
governor or the general assembly.
These intermediaries?which we are
accustomed to think of as the only
lawmakers?are In this Instance dis
pensed with, and the people legislate
'directly."
One objection to the method Is that
the proposed law must be adopted or
rejected as drawn?there Is no way
to amend as a result of defects point
ed out by debate, and the people may
adopt It because of its general pur
pose regardless of the et rors or de
tails which may cause it. to prove un
satisfactory or harmful. On the oth
er hand, if the measure Is promoted by
an Intelligent, patriotic committee of
citizens, the draft may be presented
in as perfect form ns possible, and
the firends of the measure have the
opportunity to vote for It on its mer
its, whereas In a legislature there
are many skillful dishonest ways of
crippling it by amendments and pass
ing it in a form that "keeps the prom
ise to the ear but breaks it to the
heart." The Initiative is a mere sup
plement to the Legislature; the latter I
continues to be the chief agency fori
making laws, but the people have the
safeguard of a means of "Initiating"
or starting a bill for adoption ns a
law without Its having to run the
gauntlet of a legislative body, which
sometles tinder, the pressure of lob
byists misrepresents the people.
The referendum is different only in
that it deals with a bill or law which
is before the legislature or has been
passed. The legislature may "refer"
it to popular vote without taking the
responsibility of deciding for or
against it; or if It has been enacted, a
prescribed per cent of voters can file
a petition which will operate to sus
pend the law and "refer" It to an
election at which the popular vote for
or against It will settle its fate. The
referendum is a negative, the lnlatlve
a positive power. Each Is a "refer
ence" to the people.
We had a form of referendum in this
State before Its present wider applica
tion had been thought of in this coun
try. Twenty to forty vears ago towns
and, cities voted periodically whether
to license barrooms, this "local op
tion" being nothing but a referendum
provided by tho legislature when It
prohibited whiskey sales in tho rural
districts, but instead of deciding tho
question ns to municipalities made a
standing reference of it to the several
MEN'S HATS
THE BEST THAT'S MADE
THE
NO NAME
HAT
j\ (jREAT many Men have resolved to
come to this store for their Spring Hats.
All These Men are * 'posted, "?know just
what sort of Hats they want and they also
know where to get them!
They save themselves time, and they save
themselves trouble and money!
Others will look around, uncertain where
to go!
If they happen to look at Our Hats, we'll
get their money, sure!
If they buy without seeing out Hats, it'll
be their loss as much as ours!
Our styles are far away from the just or
dinary sort of Hats.
The swing of the crowd of Men's buyers
comes this way more and more!
Men's Felt and Straw Hats at
$1.50, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00
up to $5.00
The New Spring styles are ready and
they're the work of Makers who make the
best Men's Hats.
CLARDY & WILSON

THE HAT MEN
ONE PRICE TO ALL
communities. We had a State refer
endum (conducted by the Democratic
party voluntarily, without the sanc
tion of law) when In 1S92 the ques
tion of State prohibition was carried
in the State primary. The legislature
disregarded this party instruction, and
enacted the dispensary instead, do
fending its course upon the ground
first that this was a solution which,
had not been thought of in time to be
submitted to the voters and might
prove acceptable, and second, that the
vote was not conclusive and manda
tory because so large a proportion re
frained from voting. (The latter is
the same argument used against the
election of Martine to the renale In
New Jersey, when Woodrow Wilson
came to his rescue and forced his elec
tion as the nominee of the party pri
mary) The evolution has continued.
We soon bad the dispensary law mod
ified by the "Brlce" amendment, al
lowing a county to vote out a dispen
sary, This referendum or countv op
tion, to put dispensaries In or out, has
become finally established as a stand
ing "reference" of the matter every
four years if demanded by petition.
Our system of voting bonds has ev
er since the war been by a referen
dum; we arc familiar with popular
votes on the question of bonds for
school buildings and for public roads.
Such a vote, Statewide, on bonds to
build the new asylum, was urged In
lUi and again In 1912. the State con
stitution forbidding the Issue of bonds
by the State except upon a popular
vote, a referendum though not so
called.
Thus the matter is not so foreign af
ter all, and its extension is most nat
ural.
