A Labor Leader on the Referendum.

W.B. Prescott President International
typographical Union, says Of the refer
endum in his annual report in 1896:
."I cannot refrain from submitting as
an all-suficient answer to those who
argue that the referendum Is tnet11clent,
that though conventions at various pc
riods adopted strike benefit laws, the
membership paid no heed whatever until
the present law was adopted by popular
vote: the same is true Of all other inter-
national laws, those securing popular
approval on a general vote are the ones
most readily obeyed and easily enforced.
AS practiced with u.s. representative gov
ernment-eVen though the conventions
functions are reduced almost to those OF
a deliberatiVe bOdy-is a farce, many
unions being financially unable to sup
port a delegate, and the larger ones be-
ing apportiOned such small number or
delegates that it Is possible for four
unions of seven members each to thWart
the wishes of our largest subordinate
body numbering thousands of members.
To place the delegatOrial voting power
on the number Of members represented
would give the larger unions such an
overwhelming predominance that the
interests of the smaller ones would be
lost sight of. Even then the delegates
views cannot be taken as expressive OF
those of whom he represents. History
demonstrates that unions enthusiastic
ally support measures which its delega-
tion opposed and vice versa, and some
times the delegation was acting under
Instructions The common sense, eco
nomical and business-hke manner Of
solving this problem is to invest the In
itiative in the membership, making 1t
the law-maker and supervisor OF Its af-
fairs directly and not attempt to do 1t
through an effete and nOnsensical sys-
tenn Of representatives and proxies. Ii
the International Union will AFFORD ohe
initiative and referendum trial--which
the great majority Of us approve OF as a
principle in civil law-I venture the pre-
diction that like praise will be vouch-
safed us in the far distant future"

driven (or supposed to be) by man
whose inclinations seemed to be to SIT on
the ground and guide his horses. He
finally succeeded in falling off the seat
to the ground cutting uad cash in his
forehead. Passers-by picked him up
and carried him where assistance could
be given and where he might be sobered
up; but the horses, evidently used to the
proceedings, walked away and would
have reached home without driver had
not someone taken them in hand.
T. is very evident that the thugs and
characters of the same ilk have not de-
serted The Dalles, since they occasional
ly make themselves known. Last night
when Harvey Allen was walkiHg through
the school yard on Union street he was
greeted with an invitation to halt and
throw up his hands, which Harv, in the
goodness of his heart, could mot well re.
fuse. The man then proceeded to trans
fer $1.10 and a cork screw from his
prisoners pocket into his own. Harv
says if he had thought of receiving ar
invitation to hold-up he certainly
would have left the cork screw at home

at Antelope, dated Nov. 18th.
1.-THE latest concerning Forester says
he is in the vicinity of Prineville. Some
immigrants came in town last evening
and said they saw him yesterday and
that he was making his way toward Car

where he expected to stay all night.
They gave pretty good description of
the man and it tailed fairly well with

Health Lecture.

Mrs. Sara NJ. Read, one of the state
managers and lecturer for the Oregon
Viavi company, whose headquarters are
in Portland, will lecture to ladies in
the small K of P. hall on Tuesday, Nov.
18th, at 2:3O p. m. Subject: "Health
and Higher Life for Women"
These lectures are very instructive to
all ladies and none should lose this op-
portunity to hear Mrs. Read, who has
been in the lecture field for the past
seven years. She claims that physical
reform is the basis of all reformg, and
that when health and happiness reign
in the home, the saloons and other
questionable places of amusement will
close their doors for want of patronage.
This is one of the reform movements
of the nineteenth century that has
spread all over the civilized world and
is endorsed by the clergy and all cul-
tured people who are interested in good
works and whatever is of benefit to the
human family. No admission is charged.
All ladies are cordially invited.

A GOOD WAR.
In anger

Toledo Blade:
There never was good war nor bad
peace" wrote Benjamin Franklin in a
letter to Josiah Quincy in l778. Probably
the revolution and its outcome caused
Franklin to change his opinion as to th'
first half Of the sentence. And were he
alive today ne must acknowledge that the
war, now ended as regards hostilities, was
good war.
It has extended the area Of human free
dom-the freedom Of speech and action,
which is the birthright Of every American,
and should be % every human being on
this round world. 1t has delivered from
tyranny and oppression two millions and
a half Of people, and rid the western hem
isphere forever Of the incubus of Spanish
despotism.
The people of the United States rejoice
at the termination of hostiliues. And
there is but little to mar their rejoicing.
The land is not overshadowed by mourn
ing for unnumbered thousands. the VIC
tins Of battle and disease, as was the
case at the end of the civil war. Con-
