(Kansas City Times, May 10, 1907
The Initiative and Referendum" was
the topic of discussion at the meeting
of the Economic League at the public
library last night. The discussion was
opened by Judge John L. Peak, ex-min-
lister to Switzerland, who spoke in part
as follows:
Government by the people direct, by
means of the initiative and refer
endum, has been on trial in Switzerland
for about 80 years. Arising from
the town meeting plan, it has spread
from town to town, from city to city,
from canton to canton until 25 years
ago, it was adopted by the national gov
ernment. 1t has been blessing where
ever introduced, and in no instance have
the people ever surrendered it again,
but have used it successfully in solving
every problem of importance in town,
city, canton and nation.
1T is known that singly and collec-
lively, the governments in Switzerland
today are the most popular, economic,
simple and honest on earth; that previ-
Gus to the adoption of this system all
these cantons that were governed, as we
are today, by irresponsible agents or
representatives, were suffering from
similar confusion of laws, clashing OF
authorities, public extravaganza and
corruption, partisan prejudice and per-
sonal campaigns, from which this coun-
try is suffering under today; and it Is
known, and by the class of wealth
owners well recognized fact, that, the
| people ruling, Switzerland is singularly
free from trusts, syndicates and corpor-
ations.
For several decades now all emigra-
ton from Switzerland has not only
ceased, but quite to the contrary now,
the Germans, French, Italians and Slav-
onians are flocking into Switzerland
because Of it's better economic condi-
tions. The 100000 Swiss consume
more commodities today than the 15,-
100000 of Italians, although the ma
tural productiveness of the two coun-
tries cannot be compared There is no
country, no nation on the globe that
can compare in quality and number of
educational Institutes with those of

not planning for another presidential
nomination. and that If he shall ever
become a candidate again it will be be-
cause it seems necessary for the ad-
vancement of the principles to which
adhere, and that does not now seem
probable It does not. One tremendous
licking and one fatuous suicide are GER
tainly enough for the Democratic party
to endure for these principles and this
leadership"
We are not mourning over this Dem
ocratic squabble-we rather enjoy it.
We expect to see the men who betrayed
Bryan leading the corrupt party that
Bryan tried to save. It was a fruitless
labor on his part-rotten parties can't
be saved any easier than rotten turnips.
When the Cleveland crowd get the
control of the party, and nominate some
time-server like Dave Hill. on a plat
form that says nothing and means less,
what will Mr.. Bryan do then? Will he
stump the state for the election Of q

or money furnish bonds that would pro-
tect every bushel Of grain from the time
1t leaves the farmers granary until it
is sold and he gets his money.
Do our own banking, and when q
farmer is compelled to sell his grain at
time when prices are low, let him haul
1t to his elevator, get an advance on
it OF 60 or 70 cents per bushel at or
per cent interest, and when his grain is
sold get the balance, less the interest on
his advance.
Money to handle each crop is now
furnished to the wheat gamblers by the
bankers of the nation at to 5 per
cent. The same same banks would just
as readily furnish it to strong and safe
farmers organization, the wheat gam
blers would be cut out, and the farmer
get what belonged to him.
1t would seem that the farmer should
appreciate the power and value of Or
ganization. They have seen all other
business interests organized to fix prices
and, If necessary to do so, limit pro-
duction.
Why should not farmers adopt the
same tactics, and save something for
themselves which they, as wealth pro
ducers, are surely entitled to? Believ-
Ing that the time is now ripe for such
an effective organization, therefore is
sue the following
CALL.

sentative or mass meeting of farmers OF

Editor Representative:
Dear Sir: Having read many letters
Of late in the Representative on the
subject of organizing farmers, deem it
proper to make an explanation of the
situation as the last president elected
by the Grain Growers association Of
Minnesota.
At that last meeting several plans
were submitted for organization, one by
H. E. Boen, Of Fergus Falls; one by
S. w. Powell, Of Saltwater; one by Igna-
thus Donnelly, Of Nininger, and one by
myself. The meeting was a very warm
one, over the discussion OF the differ
ent plans, and resulted in the adoption Of
H. e. Boen's plan as the business plan,
and the plan Of Mr.. Donnelly as the So
cial and fraternal feature, with myself
as president, and the understanding that
both societies were subject to amend
ments, change or reorganization. as pro-
vided in the articles of organization.
Neither plan has proved successful.
Why?
First, because these two plans divided
the forces. Second, because the busi-
ness plan was not representative enough
in that it was an organization of ele-
vators.
Now, believe farmers can tell the
gold from the dross as quick, If not
quicker, than any other class of people.
They have learned it by long years Of
toll to meet the tributes that have been
levied upon them, and they will not re-
spond to new schemes until some plan
Is presented that is rock-ribbed and as
solid as the existing elevator systems
af today.
This new plan must appeal to the
farmers as stronger and better than
those now existing.
Properly organized, the farmers of the
Northwest would be able to control 3O0,-
0eO. 900 bushels Of grain annually, which
would enable our own business center
Minneapolis, to fix the price of wheat
Instead Of the Liverpool market. My
plan provides that the unit of the or
ganization should be the local Grain
Growers association, with price of the
shares at 80 per share, no member to
have more than 20 shares, and each
member to have one vote regardless OF
the number Of his shares.
All grain handled should contribute q
fund Of per cent to be used in buildins
local and terminal elevators. which fund
ct Fairfax alone two yearG ago would
have amounted to @1.s00. This sum
would have built two local elevators and
loft $500 toward z terminal elevator.

retary and treasurer. and q board oi

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

the diseased portion Of the ear. There n
only one way to cure Deafness and that b
by constitutional remedies. Deafness h
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-

this tube is infamed you have . rumblina
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It
is entirely closed. Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be TAKEN
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed tor
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused q

The highways "a we'll as the telephone,
telegraph, mail and express, are own

CAS- the people directly control ev-
erything, lobbying corruption and vio-
lent partisanship have disappeared as
being useless But little interest
is developed for candidates for Office,
and interest eenters on the principles
or measures themselves. Law making
is localized, not centralized; each city
of county (commune) asserts its right
to self-government-h home rule being
corollary to direct legislation hence
each law giving body makes only such
laws as are within its proper scope; in
the 20 years from 1879 to 1899, inclusive,
there were but 68 laws passed by the
legislature, 50 being accepted and 18
rejected by the people at the polls. The
people, and the people only, have the
veto power, and they have it on all en-
actments.
There is a majority of the people
behind every law in Switzerland. Who
knows what is the case in this country?
There no danger exists from violent
agitators, as the exact position of the
people to every measure is well known
by everybody; here the din, noise and
uproar of-often paid-agitators, seems
to be the only criterion of a move
ment.

The Initiative ana Referendum, and
Imperative nGaadate Explained.
We do not knowEof a better way Of
explaining the initiative and referendum
than by giving tie substance of the con-
stitutional amendment adopted by the
people of South Dakota at the 1898 elec-
ton: s
THE INITIATIVE.
The amendmeAt provides that when
s per cent of the voters petition the
legislature to psle q law, the legislature
must pass 1t ann submit to a vote Of
the people, and ifa majority Of the peo-
pie voting on the~law vote for it, it be-
comes law, but If the majority vote
against it, It is null and void: The law
may be drawn up by any person and Pc
tition circulated by any person. This is
called the initiative.
THE REFERENDUM.
When the legislature on its own mo-
tion passes law, then such law shall
not go in force until certain length Of
time after its passage. If before that
date per cent OF the voters OF the state
petition that such law be submitted to a
vote of the people, then the law will not
go in force until voted on by the people,
and if at such election majority vote
against the law, it will be void and of no

THE IMPERATIVE MANDATE.
The people now elect a man to ofiice
for a certain term, and after he gels in
he can hold on until his time is out un-
less he is impeached, which is slow
process. and he cannot be impeached for
mere failure to carry out promises. In
case Of a lawmaker, he can go back on
every promise he made to get elected,
and still hold until his term is out. In
the case of Grover Clevelands second
term, large majority, probably three
fourths of the people. no longer wanted
him as president within six months after
he was inaugurated, and yet he held
three and a half years longer. Under
imperative mandate the people can end
an officials term whenever they want to-.
They can recall any officer any time. 1t
is believed that the initiative and refer
endum and imperative mandate would
not often be used, as the officers, with this
power in the people, would generally
represent the wishes Of the people.

sion rainbow, will line up in the middle

battle. ;.
The following article was clipped from
the New York World. This is one of
the papers that favors a reconstruction
Of the Democratic party on Republican
lines. It is also one of the papers that
pretended to support Bryan in 1900. 1t
supported him just as Judas supported
the Savior. It betrayed him for 80 pieces
of silver, more or less. Here is the way
it talks about him now:
s'The Micawber's devotion to the i'm
mortal Wilkins-'the husband of my
bosom. the father OF my twins as she
described him-was not greater than
Mr. Bryan's devotion to the principles
Of the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms. He describes them as 'funda-
mental and applicable to all questions.
and says: I still believe in those princi-
pies, and expect to advocate them during
the remainder of my life.'
incidentally it may be remarked that
one Of these principles namely, Mr..
Bryans prime favorite free coinage at
16 to lis not fundamentally Demo-
cratic inasmuch as it never had a place
in any national Democratic platform be-
fore 1896, was never supported by any
Democratic president, nor advocated by
any Democratic presidential candidate
before Mr.. Bryan.
However, the main point in Mr.. Bry-

tiers connected with his recent losses
He missed his usual train and was
forced to take one an hour, later. In
consequence of this delay it was dark
when he arrived home. The drawing.
room was lighted, and through the
window he saw Blanche and his pri.
vate secretary, Mr.. Hubert Talley, at
the piano, but he did not enter. All
day he had been worrying over his
wife's recent moroseness, and he did
not want to lose a moment before
seeing her. He fancied she must be
in her own apartment, so he went up
stairs to her door. It was closed. He
raped gently, but received no re-
Spouse from within. He raped again,
but with no better result; then he
tried the latch and found the door
locked. For a moment he stood mas
tered by thoughts which both contra
dicted and confirmed each other.
Then he remembered that the door
was the only outlet from the room to
the main stairway, and as there was
no light to be seen through the key
hole he half persuaded himself that
Jeanne had dressed and gone down.
He turned quickly into his own
apartment across the hall and turned
on the electric light. His first thought
was that he would change his dress
before joining the others, but his i'm
patience to see his wife defeated this

He looked into the library, a large,
!cozy apartment opposite the drawing
room. A coal fire was burning warm
and red in the CRATE, but the room
was empty. Just then the butler,
Wilkins, opened the folding doors and

hall in its vast splendor of white

"From the city, sir. She went in

"To the city! at what time?"
"She caught the 1:4o train" it was
Blanche's voice behind him. and it
contained note of startled concern.
"She said she would go direct to your
Office and return with you"

can have happened to her?''
Blanche motioned the butler to re-
tire, and he DID SO, discreetly closing
the door.
