The public generally is kicking
about the law regulating fruit ped

bargains that they used to get and
claim that the law bringing about

matter further.

REPRESENTATIVE Government
OR MACHINE RULER

Representative government is gov
eminent in which the interests of the
voters are represented. In order that
this may prevail the voters must pos
sess the power to instruct their repre-
sentatives.
Historically the voters have pos
sessed this power, for they could
withhold their votes from those who
should refuse to obey instructions.
One of the noted cases in history is
Edmund Burke's failure to obey in
structions and his forced retirement
by his constituents.
In the United States previous to the
convention system, the voters in
structed by direct vote at town meet
ings and mass meetings, and repre-
sentatives were pledged by the voters
in each district instead of by state
and national conventions. Then came
the convention system, which grad
ually developed. It's first object was
to select the state and national NOM
inees. And each convention stated
the public measures which the NOM
inees would vote for If elected. This
was an improvement, for it enabled
the voters of an entire state to CO.
operate, also the voters of the entire
United States. With this system in
operation the voters ceased to in
struct at town meetings. Afterwards
the convention system was debased to
machine rule. The remedy that is
easiest to apply is to re-establish
system for lnstructing by direct vote
the Advisory Referendum and the
Advisory Initiative. Under these sys-
TENS the entire people of the nation
can act in unison on public questions.
The establishment of a system
whereby the people can instruct will
re-establish representative govern
ment in place of machine rule. The
issue is squarely before the American
voters. Do you want representative
government or machine rule? Do you
wish to be the sovereign power or con-
tinue as slaves to the trusts.
Nearly all the Democratic nominees
for congress are pledged to the peo-
PIES cause Nearly all the Republican
nominees are beholden to the trusts
for their campaign funds, and there
fore cannot pledge for the peoples
cause. If they do pledge, and are re-
ce'ving trust funds the voters cannot
trust them. 1t is one thing to pledge
to the people in order to get into
office, and an entirely different thing
to pledge because one believes in the
re-establishment of majority rule.

stitute for even the humblest cottage,
and that they are endured is an indi.
cation of degeneracy that will unques.
tionably lead eventually to dire re.
suits. It is moral certainty that the
vigor Of our race can be maintained
only by personal contact with Mother
Earth, from which we sprang, and
which must nurture us to her bosom
when we die. Why this is SO we do
not know, but the fact remains that
the life aud vigor of the city is con-
stantly recruited from country life.
The evil of the tenement-house was
not realized until 1t passed from the
slums, because few of us know how
the other half lives. It ia, perhaps,
not so desperate 9 misfortune to those
who live by manual labor, for they get
their contact with earth In other ways,
and their children, less vexed by the
conventions of society, find access to
the soil by some means and pass,
while still young, to the occupations
of their parents. The most terrible
effect of the tenement-house is in the
families of the "salaried'- class as dis
tinguished from the "wage-earners,"
and who fit from fiat to fiat, seldom
remaining long enough anywhere for
home associations to be formed. There
can, perhaps, be no home associations
worthy of the name which are not con-
nected with piece of open ground in
the sole possession of the family. It
would seem that in our larger cities
this privilege can no longer be en-
joyed except by the rich. Why intel
ligent people will persist in living In
crowded tenements, when just outside
OF every large city are ample suburbs,
Is almost past human comprehension,
but it is true, nevertheless. There
can be no question but what the rural
life is the ideal, and the very next best
thing to 1t is that of the suburbs for
increasing happiness, prolonging life
and upbuilding prosperity.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

Popular prejudice is a tenacious thing
and the efforts of the labor press and
labor leaders to disabuse the minds
of the people Of the impression that
union men incite the riots too often
accompanying strikes have frequently
proved futile. No sooner would one
false impression be removed than the
daily press would appear with an
other plausible story.
A couple Of those professional thugs
who are the real cause of trouble dur
ing strikes recently helped, uninten-
t1Qnally, to reveal the truth.
These professional thugs are hired
by the day to act as detectives and
preserve the peace. The more disor-
der there Is the longer their services
Will be required. Therefore, when
there is no violence, they make VIC,
lence, just to make their jobs last. If
they can find a union man to assault.
they promptly assault him. They
know union man assaulted always
has the manhood to fight back. Then
the union man is arrested. and the
daily papers have another story of
union violence.
A couple of these professional thugs
made fatal error at Winnipeg, Man.
itoba, the other day, They we're, az
usual, employed to preserve the peace.
But the peace was preserving itself.
There was absolutely nothing doing.
so in order to hold their jobs they be.
gan to get busy in the usual way.
They saw a couple of men approach.
ing whom they judged, from their re,
spectacle bearing, to be union men,
and at once assaulted them. Fatal
error! The two men proved to be the
mayor and city attorney of the town.
and the two professional thugs were
arrested. .etzs$s%8
