people would vote at one time on one
issue without regard to their prejudiceS
on other questions or their prior polit.
iCal affiliations, or who got the offices.
Instead of cuSSing the government
the people could vote IL out. The
monkey and parrot business In Wash
ington would not then destroy values
and force labor into idleness, and the
power Of the people would not be @
myth, and the power Of the servant
greater thsn that Of the master. In
the interest Of popular sovereignty and
economy the Populists have declared
In favor Of q referendum and q limited
official fee system, and the Democratic
and Republican parties will be forced
to it or to do without the votes Of the
people, for the mudslllers intend to
have something more than the sem.
blance Of power, and say how much Of
their money shall 60 into the pockets
of their servants.
"When the people get direct quick

sentative has no certain tenure Of
Office, the mudslllers must then be
lobbied and not their hlgh.prlCsd, far

more 90 than the passage Of o general

ment is the publication Of the amend

Were we seeking political prefer.
ment we might not wish to write upon
this side of the question, as we believe
the popular cry soon will be for re.
vision OF the fundamental principles
and law, not only Of the State but the
nation.
We have tried to point out the errors
the people Of this State would commit
at this time in calling a convention to
revise the constitution. We by no
means wish to be understood in claim
ing that it is perfect. Had we the
power we would make some radical
changes, but we believe that any
change the people are now prepared to
make can be done by amendment.
We believe it is safer to revise q part
at a time. The changes, however,
which are contemplated by the larger
portion now asking for q revision are
changes upon which the masses are to
a great extent ignorant, and while what
should be our organic law should al.
ways be the paramount question, yet
political policy, in which there may be
no governmental principle, comes to the
front, and for the time being is the
paramount question.
The policy Of the nation on our finan.
cial system, on the transportation
question and the land question is, we
believe, the paramount question be-
fore the people, and should receive the
undivided attention Lf the people until
settled.

Let the Lobby Go to the People.

Barney Gibbs has been q prominent
Democrat in Texas for years. He once
served the State and his party ss Lieu
tenant Governor. He is q man of
earnest motives, who keeps close to
the common people. Of late years he
has been much dissatisfied with the
Democratic party's methods, and has
been writing some very vigorous let
ters on the subject. He has now be.
come convinced that there Is no hope
for reform in the Democratic party
and has joined the Populists. In his
last letter to the public, which is the
seventh, he tells some very plain truths.
His idea of the way to compel politi-
clans and officeholders to respect the
people Is shown In the following ex.
tracts from his last letter. He says:
"If we had an eight year President
who was not eligible to reelection and
who, upon an issue presented, could
have quick and direct vote Of the peO-
pie that would settle t,snd end the Off
Cisl life Of either q Cabinet or aCongress,
there would be less playing at politics,
which is fun to Congress, but death on
the country. Then President would
hsVerto surround himself with a Csbi-
net, the members Of which would be
something else than high priced porters
and heavy subscribers to campaign
funds. Then the people would feel
that something could be accomplished
by going to the polls. Then the coun.
try would get q rest from the blind
issues raised to make q raid on the
offices, little and big. Then q Congress
couldn't argue and make faces at each
other, and thresh old political straw,
but on short notice would have to fish
or cut bait. Then voter would train
with political boss for one fight only.
Then we would not have 30 many long
sessions Of Congress. This would d.
Vorce Congressional elections from

A Farmer Dinnen

The present Secretary Of Agricul
ture, j. Sterling Morton, recently gave
a dinner to the President and his CRbi
net associates which was called an
agricultural dinner. The readers Of
this paper will doubtless be curious to
know some of the details of q dinner
of that kind, so the Farmers Voice re.
port Of It is here reproduced:
"The horny handed son Of toll, Sec
retsry Of Agriculture, has been giving
dinner to the President. According
to the dispatches the decorations Of the
dining-room and table symbOlized Sec
retsry Morton's place in the Cabinet.
The central table decoration was q
large plOw Of smilax and red Csrns-
tions. AT either end Of the table were
piles Of spun sugar In the form Of hay
stacks, with rskeS and pitchforks Of
candy on the sides. Groupings Of Vege-
tables In sugar were arranged at vari.
GUS places, while at the four corners Of
the table were little WheelbarroWs Of
csbbsges, containing csndied green
peas, potatoes, cherries and apples.
Punch was served In fruits and Ice
cream In little farm wagons made Of
candy. The name cards bore the coat
of arms chosen for the Agricultural
Department by Secretary Morton,
namely, green tree, with the motto,
PLANT Trees The table decoration
was 30 unique that when the President
sat down he remarked that It was an
agricultural feast.
"There should have been q bsrnysrd
In the decorations, we submit. II
would have been 9 good thing, too, to
have an OK representing the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture, as Q whole, and
donkey standing at the head Of the
animal in the act Of braylng. We
should like to have seen Uncle Jerry
Rusk or Norman j. Colman IN the
midst of such surroundings, just to
have seen how those old common
farmers and live stock men would have
acted amidst carnation plowS and
sugar pitchforks and fruits which con.
tanned booze. This man Morton has Q
great head, In fact 1t Is the biggest
head with the smallest reputation that
we ever saw on human shoulders. By
the way, someone moved In Congress
the other day to reduce the salary Of
the Secretary Of Agriculture to 925 Q
year. It did not receive recognition,
probably because che members thought
It was too much"

statutory enactment will remove their
power to burden themselves, as it is
only by statute that they are permitted
thus to burden themselves. We pEate
Of our rights and liberty, and yet are
ready to surrender them because we
feel oppressed and burdened from our
misguided judgment in the use Of these
liberties. Shall we now go to the
other extreme and surrender rights
which make the State guardian Of our
actions and our propertyp The State
owes no duty but the protection Of the
subject In liberties not surrendered.
Our laws recognize the interest of hus-
band and wife in the home as equal,
and a joint consent must be given for
its alienation. Are we ready to say
that by their Joint consent they may
not do what they please with itP
Would not q provision Of this kind
have q greater tendency to prevent the
acquiring of homesP If the people are
ready for this change, however, brief
amendment to the constitution win
accomplish the object.
The demand for a revision of the
constitution comes largely from those
whose cry is not on account Of the lib
critics retained by the people, but those
surrendered in the organic law Of the
State. It is from those who are op-
posed to enCrOachments on the ''per.
sonal liberties" of the people by the
"prohibitory amendment. . The slogan,
"Resubmission," has been changed to
Constitutional Convention. It Is
not the desire or intention to enter into
q discussion of the merits or dement's
of the prohibitOry amendment or pro-
hibitory law, as to whether 1t was wise
or unwise to adopt it; whether 1t has
been success in the suppression Of
the evils in the traffic In intoxicating
liquors, or whether the evils resulting
from its traffic can be better controlled
by q license system, or prohibition.
The question is whether, after fire.
quent demands for resubmission of
the prohibitorY amendment for ten or
twelve years, the constitutional major
ity In the Legislature each time refus-
ing to submit the question to the
people, we shall place upon the people
Of the State the burden Of a constitu>
tionsl convention to try to accomplish
indirectly what so far has been impos-
sible directly. The people are divided
on this question. Was a constitu
tionsl convention called and q revision
had in its submission, this question
would have to be submitted in Seps-
rate clause. Suppose the convention
should decide to place In the revised
constitution a license clause, is 1t not
apparent that those faVoring the pres
ent clause would vote against the re-
vision or new constitution and use
their utmost efforts to defeat itP On
the other hand, If the friends of prohi-
bition should be In the majority in the
convention, and should feel disposed
as they probably would-to enlarge on
the provision from the present, would
not the enemies of prohibition be dis
posed to deeat the new, "rsther accept
what they have than fly to evils they
know not OFF"
