DIRECT legislation is gaining
in popularity with the people.
A year ago we had, in Barton
county, a sample of it. The
people voted on whether or not
this county should elect a county
printer for a term of two years,
and thus make the board of
county commissioners free from
political obligations; also fixing
Interchangeable rates for legal
publications. The people said
eyes" by their votes, and said
wisely. That was a good sample
of the referendum, or direct legis
lation. The increase of the mum
Der of Supreme Court Justices,
which we voted on this fall, was
another move in the line of direc
legislation.

REORGANIZATION" YAwPERs.

A whole lot of fellows, demo-
Gratis according to the republi-
press, appear to be all of a sud-
den greatly interested in the
future of the democratic party.
Generally they are the men Of
the east who assume that no in
telligence or political wisdom is
possessed by people west OF the
Ohio river; and men, too, who in
1896 and in 1900 were respon-
sible to a great measure for the
success Of the republican party
at the polls.
1t comes with poor grace from
such men, this talk of "reorgani-
zation" of the great party OF the
people; and we venture the as
sertion that their present won
derful activity (on paper) is but
desire to continue in a posi-
ton to knife the party to which
they claim allegiance and thus
continue the reign of Mckinley
ism.
The democratic party OF 1896
was RIGHT on the one dominant
issue; it was RIGHT in 1900 on
the several important issues, and
being right, it has no backward
step to take. The democratic
organization of today made one
of the grandest efforts, against
the greatest odds, in the history
of the country to place the
governing power back into the
hands OF the people and to take
that power away from the select
few who dominate the wealth
and aristocracy of the land. It's
leader is one of the greatest Of
the peoples tribunes, whose life
work has been, and will continue
to be, to stand between the
rights of the masses and the
greed of the classes. His democ-
racy is unquestioned by honest
men; his honesty and openness
OF purpose is, and will continue
to be, a menace to all political
chicanery either in his party or
out Of it, and the present demo-
cratic organization-from the
humblest township committee
man to the highest officer Of the
National committee are, and OF
right ought to be extremely
proud, though bowing to defeat,
of the patriotic work OF the last
two national campaigns.
No, Mr.. "Reorganizer," you
had just as well drop the Sleeps
clothing that covers your wolf
ish, greedy, conscienceless de-
signs and appear in your true
character, that Of a Hannaized
deserter, a mercinary ingrate,
an aristocratic tool of the COM
mercial : expansionists, and a
trafficker in human blood and
human hopes with your only end
in view the turning Of this land
of freedom into a land of masters
and servants.
