Many Petitions Received by the
City Council.
FAVORABLE ACTION.
No Disposition to Check the

Public Spirited Citizens Meet
With No Impediments.
FAVORABLE ACTION.

The petitions for the Tenth avenue
paving were received at the council
meeting Monday evening and referred
to the committee on streets and walks
for consideration
The petitions call for eight blocks OF
pavement extending from Tyler street
to Lane street. An important fact In
connection with the paving petitions IS
that they do not contain the names Oh
the trustees of Bethany college
The men who have been pushing the
paving project succeeded in raising
about $500 to apply on the Bethany col
Iege tax to help tighten the burden but
when the request was made to sign the
petition the authorities refused to do so
unless the paving tax for three years,
aggregating about $1,000, was guaran-
teed.
This leaves Bethany out Of the ques-
ton and If the pavement Is punt II
will be without the cooperation OF
Bethany college, unless the authorities
should change their minds:
1t is possible to build the pavement
without the consent of the college out
the promoters did not desire to do so:
The new paving law provides that II
half the AUDITING front feet on the strees

SINCE reference was made to the
rupture in the g. o. D. ranks in the
south part of the county, in these col
umns last week. it has come to our no.
tice that all is not gladness and sun
shine III the north part. A prominent
republican told us on Saturday that
unless a few self-constituted leaders
call a halt Rome will he made to howl.
He says the rank and file of the party
are tired of accepting promises only to
be broken after the election is over.
and the time has come when they will
not be lntimidated by the party lash.
de says that to his personal knowledge
two men have actually dictated and
controlled the republican conventions
held in Barber county during the past
several years and those two men now
control every republican official in the
county except one, and they say his
scalp will be taken at the opportune
time. But our informant declares that
as sure as night follows day the people
have stood it as long as they will and
there will be war in camp when the
next holdup is attempted. A whole
lot OF them are going to be indepedd-
ent and they do not propose to be
bound by caucus in which their wish.
es are not consulted. We are glad to
note the prospect of a change In this
respect. 1t Is encouraging when an
American voter refuses to wear a par
ty collar, regardless of his political
convictions. The political boss is one
OF the dangers with which the people
are eontendlng today and the general
welfare demands that he be dethroned.
The Popuhsts of Barber county have
set good pace; the republicans who
follow the example will deserve great
credit for their intelligence and man.

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Direct legislation, what is it! Gov.
eminent of the people by the people.
What is it not! Government of the
people by short term autocrats. How
is 1T done! Any measure before a leg
lslatlye body can be taken out of the
hands of the legislators, peremptoriIy.
when i've per cent of the voters file a
| demand with the clerk. The clerk is
then obliged to refer the measure to a
general vote of the people at the next
election. If carried by the people. no
| governor or legislature can interfere
any further. 1t is law, and a law
with public opinion behind it.. Such
laws are not dead letters, as many of
our laws are now. This is the refer
endum. IT five per cent of the voters
propose law themselves, they can de-
mand that such law be submitted to
popular vote. If it carries, it become.
law without the legislature having
had anything to do with it. This is
the initiative. This is needed because
legislators can thwart the will of the
people by failing to propose a measure.
Men who are enjoying special privileg-
es, usually prevent legislation, which
they do not like, by having bills kept
In the pocket by the chairman of
committee. BY the initiative. the peo-
pie are wholly independent of leglsla-
tors.
When we want anything of our rulers
now I'VE petition, give humbly pray
etc, your honorable body, etc. When
we get direct legislation, we will beg no
longer. We will demand our rights in
manly way. Then the people will
rule. We will have no rulers.-Ex.

That the people are becom-
ing more and more independ.
ent at the ballot box each
year, is witnessed from the
fact that Mayor Jones, of To-
ledo, was elected in the
spring by a majority over
both the republican and dem.
ocratic candidates. Both old
parties lodged municipal
ownership, and Jones came
out fiatfooted for it and de.
nounced both of the old
frauds. People will err for a
season but they will learn
sooner or later.

If the American losses in
the Philippines have been
as light as reports indicate,
why is it that we must have
$4,000 more soldiers to end

es are simply appalling if the
facts were known. And what
do the common people gain

been made?

OUT Of the numerousFourth
OF July orations delivered in

venture to say that not one
referred to the several Incl

HE government is what
the people make it. 1t can be
an oligarchy which recognizes
the rights of no one save the
rulers, or it can be a genuine
democracy which recognizes
equal rights among all men.
The people must elect under
which form of government
they choose to live.

DRUMMERs used to say

HUGO says that the rich
