Representative Government" Is Fall
ure


Representative government is o
failure.
What 10 Representative govern
mentP"
1t is the system under which the
voter chooses member OF the city
council or legislature to represent"
him in all things considered in tho
law-making body,
That system is u signal failurel
1t was no doubt benoHccnt system
when it was arst introduced, but the
lobbyist has learned its weak points
and he can and does defeat nearly all
good legislation.
There is another reason why 1t is a
failure.
Under it, the voter is generally rep
resented on but one issue.
At every election, some one subject
eclipses all others in public estima-
| tion.
1t may be the most important ques-
ton, or it may be the least important,
but a,gnified by interested parties
until it absorbs the attention Of tho
voters.
On that issue the members Of coun-
Gil or legislature are elected
The member properly represents
his constituents "a majority Of them)
on that particular issue.
On other issues the member is n law
unto himself and uses his own judg-
ment, which is more or less biased by
the cver-present lobby.
The member is in 6ve.sixths of the
cases q lawyer, and generally cor
poration attorney, whose personal and
professional interests are directly OPP
posed to the rural classes whom he Is
supposed to represent" and who
were "buncoed" in the campaign into
accepting an Insignificant question as
the leading issue.
The people are helpless.
A return to democracy" MS exem.
plGed in direct legislation" is the
only hope of free institutions.
Under direct legislation" all laws
passed by law-malsing body would
be held in suspense or in operation 80
or 90 days, and If at the end of that
time no "protest" was filed, the laws
would become operative, but II the re-
quired per cent Of voters had register
ed their protest, the law would remain
imperative until passed upon by all
the people at general or special cleo
ton, and that decision should be final,
and over 1t no court or mayor or gov.
ernor should exercise any veto power.
The indirect" benefits of direct leg
slation would be ten-fold greater than
the direct benefits. The absence Of
the corrupting influence o. the lobby,
and the ever-present knowledge Of the
legislator that his acts were liable to
review, would cause him to have a
care that the laws passed were such rs
would meet the appreciation Of the
people--hence the fling Of protest,
or demanding referendum" would
be rare occurrence.

Before this movement began, General Mac
Arthur secured important information from

and about Tarac. He said Tarlac was oc-
cupied by $1,000 insurgent troops and Agui-
naldo made his headquarters there. Another
5000 men were at Bambam, half way be-
wecn MacArthur's position and the nsurgent

WHlTE-RIBBONeRs IN SESSION
At Opening Meeting They Celebrate
the silver Jubilee of w. {. Il.
L. Orgunizntion.


SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 20.--White ribbon
ers to the number OF nearly 500 are in Sc
attic today participating in the twenty fth
annual convention of the Women's Christian
Temperance union and celebrating in song,
prayer and joyful thanksgiving the silver
jubilee Of the organization.
The convention was formally opened by
the national president, Mrs l.. NJ. \. Stew
ems. Then came reports of officers and mis-
cellaneous exercises. .-.'
In the evening Governor Rogers, in behalf
of the state of Washington; Mayor T. j.
Hume, speaking for the city of Seattle;
Judge Roger Greene, for the Chamber of
Commerce; Rev" Hugh Gilchrist, for the
churches OF the city; Miss Mary L. Page,
state president, and Mrs. Mary B. Reese,
local president, welcomed the delegates to
the city and state.
Probably the best summary Of the work
done by the Women's Christian Temperance
union was furnished in the report of the
national president, Mrs. Lillian NJ. Stevens,
who said in part:
We cannot be too thankful for the great
Influence eXerted by those standing at the
head of some of the great Industries in re-
quiring total abstinence of their employees
United States department of labor it APP
peared that among. those discriminating
roads 79 per cent of the manufacturers, SS
per cent of the traders and 72 per cent of
the agriculturists, the majority of these
forbidding the use of intoxiCants by en-
ployes, while some prohibit it only while
employees are on duty.
We record the action of Secretary Long
in banishing drink from the navy as a
great victory on the right side of temper
ance reform.
Each time we read the bill passed by
congress banishing the drink Canteen from
the army we are renewedly amazed that
anyone. no matter what his personal opin-
ion might be regarding the use of strong
dc!hk, could place such a construction upon
its words as that of Attorney General
Griggs, supported by cX-SeCretary Alger.
We cannot believe the country will sub
nit to such a notification of law so plainly
worded and so fairly enacted.
Mrs. Stevens paid warm tribute to the
memory of Miss Willard, saying it was hard
for them to come to the convention at the
close of the first year during no part of
which they had had her earthly leadership.
Mrs. Helen NJ. Barker, national treasurer,
reported a balance of 3,435. This is larger
than last year, covering eleven months, as
the convention was held a month earlier,
and was encouraging. The Willard memo
rial fund amounts to $S,26S. The life mem
bershp fund received during the year 50, ,106
The bequests aggregated $4,000. The or
ganization work cost 81 200 and the super
intendents had expended over $1,000 .
