merchants-most all the bankers-the
delegates to national, state and congress
sional conventions -the employees of the
railroads and all their relatives and
friends and every single millionaire in
the United States.
This Is not all, but am tired. Now
q few Illustrations to fix this lesson In
your memory. Two young ladies in
our neighborhood are the daughters Of
federal ofiiceholder at Washington.
They are going to see the old folks next
week and both Of them have passes to
Washington and return. =.
The family Of an Omaha Office hold
er has just returned from a pleasant
trip to California-the trip was made
more pleasant because they paid no fare
coming or going. A whole family among
our neighbors started for the Pacific
coast this week, and they all travel on
q pass. Last fall hundreds Of voters
were deadheaded thousands of miles in
order that they might vote in Nebraska,
where they may have half legal right
to vote. They voted to perpetuate the
pass system-hundreds OF other voters
were given free ride on election day
SO that they might lose their votes. In
both cases the railroads carried the
/ voters free.
Now don't you realize, brethren, that
somebody must pay for all these rides,
and who will 1t be except you fellows
who don't have any pull? The rail-
roads are not philanthropists-t
don't give rides for sweet charity's sake.
They will exact the last cent and you
Will have to pay the bills.
Under public. ownership. which you
can get when you become wise enough
to vote for it. there will be no dead
head travelers-the president will have
to pay as much fare as the tenant of
rented farm and John Rockefeller and
his employe working at 80 cents q day
will ride at equal cost.
When every body has to pay then you
can ride at half the fare you pay now
and you will also otherwise participate
in the profits of the enterprise.
Hadn't you better quit voting to en-
aicn the mlIIlona1res and vote awhile to
enrich yourselves.-Omaha Central

THANKS TO THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
The Commercial club of Minneapolis
did q very kind and gracious thing in
furnishing free of charge the hall in the
Andrus building, where the farmers
held their June II and II convention.
Farmers appreciate these acts of
kindness and such favors will place
Minneapolis at the front as the city
for their meetings.
The convention expressed its appre-
citation by passing hearty resolution
of thanks to the Commercial club. The
chairs used in the convention hall were
furnished also free of charge by Mr.
Harris, proprietor Of the New England
Furniture and Carpet company, and at
the close of the convention the dele
gates in a body visited this mammoth
house-furnishing establishment, the
largest of its kind in the Northwest.

of such Socialists is not equal to the
number of federal Office holders. Other
Socialists recognize. the power Of ma
jorities and the significance of num-
berS.
Personally, we apprehend that Social
lists will, by the force and logic of cir
cumstances, be compelled to stand In
line and wait their turn at the govern
ment gate, and the more ultra or un-
reasonable their demands the further
down the line we shall find them. Re-
forms come slow and advance side by
side with education. Revolution is abb
surd until the majority is won over and
then revolution is unnecessary, evolu-

The initiative and Aeferendum and
Imperative Mandate Explained.
We do not know any better way Of
explaining the initiative and referen-
dunn than BY giving the substance OF the
constitutional amendment adopted by
the people of South Dakota at the 1898
election: go
THE INITIATIVE.
The amendment provides that when
hve per cent of the voters petition the
legislature TO pass law, the legislature
must pass 1t and submit it to vote OF
the people. and II majority of the peo-
pie voting on the law vote for it, it be-
comes a law, but If the majority vote
against 1t, it is null and void. The law
may be drawn up by any person and
the petition circulated by any person.
This is called the initiative.
THE REFERENDUM.
When the legislature on it's own mo-
tion passes law, then such law shall
not go into force until a. certain length
Of time after its passage. If before that
date five per cent of the voters Of the
state petition that such law be submit
ted to vote of the people. then the law
shall not go into force until voted on by
the people, and If at such election
majority vote against the law it will be
void and OF no effect, but If majority
vote for it, it will be valid and binding.
This is called the referendum.
Certain laws which must necessarily
60 into immediate effect are excepted
from the referendum.
THE IMPERATIVE MANDATE.
. The people now elect a man to Office
for a certain term and after he gets in
he can hold on until his time is out,
unless he is impeached, which is slow
process, and he cannot be impeached
for mere failure to carry out promises.
on every promise he made to get elected
and still hold until his term is out. In
the case of Grover Cleveland's second
term, large majority, probably three

him as president within SIX months
after he was inaugurated, and yet he
held three and half years longer. I'm
der imperative mandate the people can
end an officials term whenever they
want to. They can recall any officer
at any time. 1t Is believed that the
initiative and referendum and impera-
tive mandate would not often be used,
as the officers with this power in the
people would generally represent the
wishes of the people.-Missouri World.

The 10000 clerk3 working four hours

tribution will accomplish more than
the entire $4,000 d today.
The $1,000 lawyers with their 5000

not less than $4,000. 900 day. Life and

call it IS per day. Here there is loss

The economic waste due to the liquor
traffic reaches over $2,00O,0OO per day,
nearly all Of which would be saved by
the socialization of that business. The
economic waste due to the unscientiflc
way Of farming is tremendous. All of
our cereal crops and nearly all vege-
table crops can be raised with the use
of modern labor-saving machinery.
The immense saving due to sensible
and scientific farming method would
equal one-half Of our present agricul-
tural wealth production, or more than
$4,OO0,O00 per day. Then think Of the
economic waste in every branch of in
dustry. In the above eight items of
waste the loss foots up to the gigantic
sum of $67, 100000 per day, or nearly a
dollar day for every man. woman and
child in the nation. And all this on
only eight out Of a hundred of items
of economic waste.

paper?
will be greatly obliged to any farm
er who will send me on a postal card his
main objection, as farmer. to Social
ism, and with your consent l should be
pleased to review and answer any such
objections through your paper.
Come, let us reason together" Thus
only can we detect and learn to correct
each others errors.
Address, yours respectfully.
J. W. MAHONEY.
1907 Sixth street. Minneapolis, Mimi.
We have received numerous other let
ters indicating desire on the part Of
many of our readers to enter into dis
cussion of Socialism.
The Representative is forum open
to the discussion of new, progressive
and advanced political ideas, within
reasonable limits.
We realize that some of our readers
call themselves Socialists. Socialists
and Populists travel together along
some lines of thought, and at some
points they are widely apart So long
as correspondents observe the usual de-
corunA and courtesy of debate we can
see no harm in such discussion as shall
make plain the differences of opinion
between Socialists and less radical re-
formers, and the arguments upon which
such differences rest. The language of
Mr.. Mahoneys request is such as to
make all answers responsive thereto
brief.
He says Write the main objection"
and write it ION postal card" This
would bar long articles, and Mr.. Ma
honey would be held strictly within
the rules of his own game.
A postal card debate might bring out
some very interesting and instructive
points.
One difficulty, however, seems to us
to lie in the way of profitable discus
sion. 1t is this: The gist of Socialism
is a demand for public ownership OF
capital and hardly two Socialists can be
found who will agree as to where this
community of interest should begin or
end or how it should be inaugurated.
It has often occurred to us that So
cialists should get together and agree
among themselves before attempting to
bring the whole world over to Social
ism.
Some Socialists claim that they want
reform, political and Industrial. Others
repudiate this demand and say they
want revolution Some Socialists ad-
vocate confiscation of private property;
others repudiate this idea and would
employ the principle of the law Of emf
nent domain Some Socialists demand
public ownership of all means of pro-
duction and distribution; others declare
such demand is too sweeping and would
confine public ownership to such means
of production and distribution as be-
come monopolies.
Some Socialists demand everything or
nothing, they must have it at once and
regardless Of the fact that the number

In consequence of emigration there is
a greater preponderance Of women in
Norway than in almost any other coun-
