THE REFERENDUM.

What One Democrat Thinks 1t VIII
Do for Us.

What One Democrat Thinks 1t Will
Do for Us.
To the Editor Of The Globe:
A democracy is form Of government
where the laws are made by the people
themselves. According to this, We have
not as yet got down to the Fundamental
principles of democracy. Instead Of talk
ing in our sleep about something we
dream of having, let US wake up and pos
sess ourselves of 1t. Let us possess our
selves of the referendum as recommended
by the governor in his inaugural speech,
and every mothers son of US will be a
real Democrat.
Let every labor organization, every
farmer and business man persuade this
legislature to take uD this bill and sub
nit it to the people at the next election.
laws as we need. Then, and not until
then, can we be governed by our own
consent, The referendum will lay the
responsibility of lawmaking at every door
and the people will have to wake UP and
look about them to see what is wanted
and not wanted. They will become think
ing beings, and fit for self-government
Here are some things it will do:
1t will simplify laws
1t will simplify government.
1t will kill monopoly.
1t will purify the ballot.
1t will supplant violence.
1t will broaden manhood.
1t will prevent revolution.
1t will make people think.
1t will accelerate progress.
1t will Danish sectionalism
1t will sever party bondage.
1t will abolish special privileges.
1t will wipe out plutocratic dictation
1t will reduce taxation.
1t will prevent the bribery of lawmak-
ers.
1t will establish home rule in all cities.
1t will restore to the people their nat
ural rights. s'+
1t will aid honest representatives in
serving the people and give us a govern
ment of the people, by the people and for
the people, on a foundation of equal and
exact justice to all.
Shall we have it? H L. B.

We denounce as disturbing to business
the Republican threat to restore the Nc
