SINDAY, MAY 4. 1913. The working people, on the contrary, have every reason to welcome this quickened government interest in industrial matters. The more the state becomes alive to questions of capital and labor, the more the fortunes of the latter will improve. At least such has been the experience of working people in those countries that are considered most progressive.

SUBMIT THE AMENDMENT. The question before the Illinois house of representatives on Tuesday is not Shall Illinois adopt the Initiative and referendum." It is, Shall the citizens of Illinois bave the opportunity to declare whether or not they will adopt it." If given this opportunity they may say yes, or they may say no. If they say yes in sufficient numbers it will thereupon become law. If no. they at least will have the satisfaction of deciding for themselves.

Nearly half a milHon voters declared that they wished the submission of the initiative and referendum to themselves and their fellow citizens. The Forty-seventh general assembly said them No. Does the Forty-eighth general assembly, or, father, its popular branch," propose to imitate its predecessor? We believe the house of representatives will not care to assume this responsibility. It would be a very heavy one. If a vote of 450,000 citizens is not to be held to authorize submitting an important change in our political system to the public for adoption or rejection, then let the general assembly proceed at once to get rid of the public policy ballot.

If such a vote cannot procure the submission of a question to the people, the public policy ballot is a farce and a fraud. Juggliug with amendments and delay tile tics are equivalent to a denial to the people of the right to pass epon a public question of the gravest public' import. It will be so construed by the public. dignation Instances of default in other states In other than war obligations. The Times suggests that the American government is stern and effective when it undertakes to deal with a delinquent Central American state, but Is singularly Ineffective when its own states give the case of complaint We can send a mandatory word to Guatemala to pay up or take the consequences.

One of our own states may do as it likes. If Mexico were prodding a foreign nation with enactments designed to bring that nation down upon it, Mr. Bryan would be tart and emphatic in his advice, and the advice would have the sound of authority. In Sacramento 'Sin Bryan had the good taste not to be as noisy as a man on the bleachers protesting against an umpire's decision, because be knew that his opinion would have no more effect than one from the bleachers, even If it were as loud. When the United States deals with another nation its a government.

When it attempts to deal with one of its own states Ws more like a feeble grandfather with unruly grandsons. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan probably will continue to admire state rights as a doctrine, but they are likely to have revised ideas of its applicability. It would not be astonishing if they found a Hamiltonian taint in their philosophy.

As the glow of spring banishes the winter's chill, everything in nature casts off its winter coat, worn and dirty from use, and takes on clean raiment. The Easter bonnet is buts poor response to the great nature call. The trees shed their old, dead parts and new, clean buds break out. The flowers displace the dirty coverings, the dead grass washes away and a bright green carpet covers the earth. Nature cleans in the spring.

Spring cleaning is an instinct. The animals tumble the winter's waste out of their lairs. The birds that, during the winter, bate accumulated dirty coats are seen to spend hours in washing and cleaning their feathers. The old drake that has been contented to look like an ashbox will give up hours to drawing its feathers its beak, cleaning and oiling them. Spring cleaning is a custom aid always has been.

The cave man had the habit of cleaning himself and all about him in the spring time. Back of his custom lay the custotps of his ancestors; back of the customs of tti ancestors lay the instinct of the, animals; lack of this tile laws of nature. The groups of women who in the spring of 1913 are organizing clean up movements are not illustrations of lie Vries' Mutations or Sports." They are in harmony with the eternal fitness of tbinrs. They ace links in a chain that reaches back to Noah and his ark laws, to Adam, to the cave man, to dumb animals, to nature itself. The beginning is with the house'.

Al! winter long the waste has accumulated there. The housewife has done her best. She has cleaned each day, each week, but the task has been too much. The sun had a short day and could not kill all the offensive matter in all the rooms. The air was cold and could not bettallowed to sweep through and do its full share of cleaning.

Therefore, each week the standard of household cleanliness -has gone back just a little. It it were 1000 in October. in November it bad fallen by easy stages to 990, and so on, easily and graduaily, it became imperceptibly lower as the winter went on. Now May is here, and, by one prodigious effort, it must be brought to the normal again. The shutters are thrown wide open; the rooms are bathed in sunshine; thOwindows art thrown open; the rooms are bathed in more than that is required to make up for the sins of the winter.

So up come the carpets, and out they go to a race ut lot, where some poor fellow beats therm lie stands in a cloud of dust striking away. It is too bad that the principle of vicarious sacrifice should be carried so far. -41P- house fly does by carrying disease laden filth on its feet is pretty generally understood. The necessity for thorough spring cleaning seems to be only too apparent. Every corner, every niche should be thoroughly cleaned and freed of vermin.

Cockroaches and all fields which offer good breeding places for them should he destroyed. Containers to foods should be provided to bar their entrance. These pests may have paid a recent visit to some outhouses, where they cnawled over disease laden feces, only to hastily return to your kitchen and crawl over your bread, cake, and other articles of rood. They are kind and considerate enough to leave the germs of typhoid or typhus fever. Roaches have an especial liking for dark, dirty, damp corners in the kitchen and about the pantry.

For this reason extra care should be used when cleaning and repairing in the kitchen and pantry to provide against the possible invasion of the cockroach. In rural districts the houses may not contaiu much dirt as the homes in the great cities, but there are outhouses, such as barns, chicken houses, pig pens, cow pens, and stables, smoke houses, and vvagon sheds which need thorough cleaning. In the spring cleaning season they should all be carefully gone over. All the debris and waste which favors the breeding of vermin must be destroyed. It should not be forgotten that rats, mice, flies, and fleas are especially partial to fields of filth that are located in and about such areas.

They are all carriers and spreadcrA of disease, and, if the home is to be free from dise-ase breeding vermin, their 'habitations must be destroyed. It has been known for some time that the mosquito is the carrier of the malarial poison. No disease so insidiously and undermines the constitution, and decreases physical efficiency as malaria. To do away with the mosquito it is important that cesspools and mosquito breeding habitations be destroyed. Mosquitoes breed in water tanks, tin cans lying about the yard, barnyard, in the street or road, in barrels used to catch rain water, or that for some other reason contain water, and cisterns and flush tanks in toilet rooms.

The water tanks, cisterns, and flush tanks should be covered to keep the mosquitoes out; tin cans or other receptacles containing water and lying, about the yard, barnyard, streets, should be gathered up and carted away to the dumps. To prevent the development of mosquitoes in dumps, the rubbish should be treated with crude petroleum or coal oils. Where sw amps exist within a given radius of a home they should be drained. Where there are filthy cesspools they should eithe: be filled up or treated with some sterilizing agent, as lime. It may be necessary to treat the swamps with crude petroleum or coal oil.

If it necessary, it should be done. iEt ermon lot Zobal2o-' THE' MORAL NEED OF WORK." BY DR. HtrGH BLACK, Union Theological Seminary, New York City. (Who Will Speak at the Sunday Evening Club Tonight.) HEN speaking of the moral duty of labor we are met with a fur- ther theoretical difficulty, which arises chiefly because of the sub division and specialization in all modern industry. Culture, we are assured, is only possible to those who are not dragged into the narrowing condition of being compelled to do a special kind of work.

It la true that there is a culture from which the ordinary worker is shut out, the sweetness and light which come from an extended knowledge of literature and art, the refinement of intellect and taste. But that after all is only on the surface of life, the polishing of an instrument. The culture of character and the culture of soul are not confined to any such select class, and indeed moral strength and true wisdom will be found among the unlettered as often as among the highly educated; for character is produced from the ordinary material of life by the common taske and the daily duties. God does not give us character. He gives us only time; he does not give us results, but only opportunities.

The yoke of work is not merely a moral preservative, but is also an occasion for growth in gracious life. Faithlessness here not only opens the door to evils we would have avoided, but also deprives us of good. Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins labeled by the church, for it is recognized as one of the great sources of mischief--" the devil's cushion," an old writer calls it, inducing rust of mind and depravity of soul to all who fall victims to it. Its danger lies in what we loae through it, as well as what we suffer. An aimless, useless life brings at the end poverty of soul, with no work of faith and patience of hope and labor of love meeting their harvest and their harvest joy.

The slack heads tend to the empty heart, with enough sense of need to desire but nothing to satify. Have a lust for thine own work and thou shalt be safe." said St. Hernias, and many have been able to add their testimony to the safety given by a love of work. When accepted al part of the moral law it does much more than offer safety from temptation; for it brings new sanctions and a new motive. -0-- Industry from this point of view be.

comes just another name for conscience. Without this moral sense we to easily fritter away our strength and squander our time, and have nothing left for oar work but the dregs of power. Conscience has been abused by being limited to speculative difficulties about right and wrong, the settling of questions of casuistry. It too often bas lost its re. lotion to actual and common life.

Ws need more conscience put into Our daily work, and in this connection conscience le simply industry. Some men of delicate. refined conscience in matters of abstrect morality are traitors to it in their every. day work. If we are not making our work a pline far our character, if it has no moral contents to us, our diligence will be barrel of real fruit.

A government investigation into the conditions of steel workers in this country, undertaken a few years ago, resulted in the abolitioa of the seven day week by many steel companies.

Various plans haee been adopted by these concerns by which none cf their employes is required or permitted to work more than six days a week. But the reform has been only partial. According to the latest report of Commiseioner Neill of the bureau of labor, 15 per eeet of all the employes in the iron and steel industry in this cteintry still work seven days a week. These 15 per cent constitate an army of men running into a score of thousands or more. These men have no Sundays and no day off.

They do not go to church, and have no time for amusement. Most of them are immigrants America to them is typified in blast furnaces, in foremen hissing profanity at them, and in hovels where they feed and sleep. In their native land these men have been peasants. Twentieth century enlightenment had not always penetrated into their humble villages. But religion had.

On Sunday they would travel ten arid fifteen miles to a nearby town to attend church. The new world has started them going backward rather than forward. What sense of religion, what simple humanity they possessed is deadened in them by the long hours of toil, with never a days rest, amidst the infernal fires of the steel mills. Sunday work no doubt is a necessity in steel mills. But this does not imply a seven day NS eek.

There are scores of other iadustries that are operated on Sunday the bit Me as on week days. But the employes in these industries are not required to forfeit their day of rest. They are given a day off during the week. Moreover, arrangements for eliminating the seven day week have been successfully made by a part, arid perhaps the largest part, of the steel and iron industry. What was possible for half of the employers to do ought to be possible for the rest.

To dehumanize the workers in the steel industry by denying them humanity's ancient eight to one day's rest in seven is to add to the nation's slum burdens and problems unnecessarily. SOWING THE WIND. A government investigation into the cone ditions of eteel workers in this country, un- dertaken a few years ago, resulted in the abolition of thee seven day week by many steel companies. Various plans have been, adopted by these concerns by which none cf their employes is required or permitted to work more than six days a week. But the reform has been only partial.

The president, we believe, will do well to hesitate long before be does away with the Commerce court.

That tribunal was created for sound reasons which have not been overthrown by its subsequent acts or misfortunes. The incident of Archbald is wholly irrelevant, while if the court interpreted its powers more liberally than its critics believed they should have been, they should seek as remedy not the abolition of the court but amendment of the law creating it. The purpose of the Commerce court is to relieve the general courts of a special Lind of litigation and to bring about a greater degree of harmony in the body of the law dealing with railroads. This is an important purpose and should not be obscured by prejudiced or interested outcry. The fact that more of its first discussion favored the railroads is not surprising, since it is probable the railroads took up their strongest cases.

The fact that the Supreme court re versed the Commerce court in most appeals Is not conclusive, since the court is new and Its powers as yet undefined. The Commerce court is an institution which, despite its unfortunate experience thus far, promises useful service. It should be given a longer and fairer trial. IN FEAR OF FOREIGN CULTURE. Another indication of the fear with which Latin America regrrds the dominance of the United States is given in articles by Prof.

Vicente Gay of 'Valladolid, in Espana 3Ioderna of Madrid. lie is persuaded that the Latins must guard themselves against the efforts of the North Americans to dominate them intellectually, to substitute English literature for Spanish, to replace Cervantes with Mark Twain. The danger of North American culture supplanting Spanish in the south is represented as great and as demanding extraordinary efforts (rota such patriots as desire to bold the Latin American states to their ova traditions and history. The difference of tongue, Prof. Gay suggests, is a small barrier to the advance of a foreI7n enitnr-, If we consider the character of the educated classes," Prof.

Gay is quoted in the Literary Digest, we shall perceive that the difference of tongue is a minor obstacle, for every educated person should understand French, English. German, and Italian. If such classes wish to disseminate a particular type of eultute, language is, therefore, no Astacle to the work. Thus the educated people of South America transmit to all the more ignorant classes all the elements of culture derived trom the North American confederation." The defense suggested is, the diffusion of Spanish literature to keep the South American, constantly in touch with intellectual movements in Spain and to bind him by the works of this literature to the traditions of fhe Spanish people.

If there is something to be said against the prevailing practice in carpet cleaning, nothing can be said against washing and scouring the walls and floors, the closets and pantries, the sinks and iceboxes.

Spring cleaning assumes a rather broad scope. It has for its object lot only cleanliness, but laying plans for proteet ion against disease that comes with the approach of summer. The doors and windows of the avcrage home have usually been kept closed during the cold, bleak daya of the winter. The air in many such homes is more or less foul; dust and dirt have accumulated. The attic and closets have been overworked by the accumulation of useless wearing apparel, old papers, paper boxes, and odds and ends.

The ceilings, especially of the closets, have become dust and dirt laden. In smoky neighborhoods, particularly, the naper on the walls is dirty and greasy from coal soot. During the last days of the winter the good housewife and the good husband have planned for a spring cleaning. They have fa el the problem of cost and combined their best judgments in arriving at conclusions as to what shall and what shall not be done. Unfortunately.

all of us cannot step to the phone, call the vacuum cleaners to take an order to clean apartment at No. or home at such a location. While it is the ideal method of cleaning. it is too expensive for most people as yet. This necessitates resorting to soap and water and hard labor by most people.

When the wife and husband planned their spring cleaning they were not wholly influenced by selfish motives. They might leave some things undone. They might get along without such extensive cleaning. But their neighbors have rights. They do not want to maintain a menace to the health, comfort, and happiness of their neighbors.

Hence they have endeavored to be more liberal in their calculations. There is no better way. no more economical way, no more effective way, to spend money than in maintaining a clean, hygienic home. The best way to clean a house is to begin i with the closets. See that they are thor-oughly cleaned, and put in order I anything else is undertaken.

Next, empty and clean bureau drawers, take down and portieres, clean and put them aside until the cleaning and decorating has been completed.
