BY THE PEOPLE

The whole sentiment of the country seems to be
drifting towards restoring power to the people Oh Whch
they very largely been deprived by our representa-
tive character of government
In the very formation of our national government
two antagonstic ideas and battled One of these
that the common people were not quahed iol
self-government Alexander hamilton was the leading
spir on this side the contest The other idea, OF
which Thomas Jefferson was great exponent is fully
expressed by the memorable language of Lincoln on the
battlefield of Gettysburga government of the people
by the people and for the people.
The first idea led, in representative government
TO the selection of delegates act for the people the
DELEGATES being presumed understand the needs of the
people better the people hemsevs coul do hence'
the delegates should not be instructed and consequently
were irresponsible except themselves for what they
should do The ether idea led to the selection of dele
gates to represent people and merely to act FOL
them The people instructed them as to what was
wanted and they held responsible to the people
who elected In the Of years the first theory
has largely to prevail and the real power OF gov
ernment has slipped away from the people
AS already said, there has been a great awakenlhs
on this subject every section of the united States ana
by the people of all parties Nomination by primary
elections, the initiative and referendum, the recall, n
catechising of candidates. and the election of United
States senators by direct of the peope-a these
and other equally significant propounded principles anu
deuended practices indicate the extent and earhesS
of the determination the part of the people TO 'ae
hack into their own hands the foundations OF their gov
ernment. a., .,.
AS an exchange says the pledging of lo4 members
of the next national house to work and vote Tor tne IN
mediate establishment of direct-vote system lot pun
lie auestions shows what is being accomplished against
machine rue through the political cooperation of organ
ized farmers wageearners, business men and the pro
fessnal classes They acting in unison on this vital
issue for all injured by the machine rue-the rue
of the few Furthermore the unorganzed citizens are
ooneratnp for whenever the issue raised the entire
peona are drawn toward any presented movement for
the recovery of their rights.

LETTERS OF MURDERED GIRL
MOVES THt COURT TO TEARS
Murder is foul, but there are crimes fouler.

Murder is foul but there crimes fouler

The baser one for which the whole American people
with revolving hearts condemn and contemn him, Is his
betrayal the love and Indifference to the unspeakable

Nothing could have been less expected than such
revelation # mingled beauty and pathos as came when

ton OF simplicity and delcacy
In not Of her appeals did she sound the cheap,
meodramauc note. worn, familiar phrase appeared
here and there but they seemed to be inevitable, ana
again and again the almost supremey pathetic tone was
attained
And the writer Of these masterfu letters was poor
factory girl, almost child, with experiences except
those OF her little Wage-none, that is, except her own
dreadful experience with all iJs agonies Of fear ana
/ shame, hope ana despair.
II all TO show how the heart girl, fallen,
helpless hopeless is s pitied by kind Providence and

every one in the court room those of the man to

CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS WITH
LESSONS FOR OTHER CITIES

In 1902 improvements were projected a, Harrisburg,
Pa at an estimated of $1090000. At that time II
expected that under the most favorable conditions
there would be- by 1906 an increase in the tax rate vi
two mills The improvement work has progressed most
favorably. filtration plant has been completed, and
within the past few months eleven million gallons Oh
pure water daily have been delivered the great inter
cepng sewer relieving ntoerabe conditions is in serv
ice twentyone miles of streets have been paved at an
expense the city of 100000 for inersecng and to
the people. upon the footfront assessment basis of
nearly $l000000 this paving being put down under
rigorous and expert inspection.
The proposed park system has progressed most en-
couragingIy The small park possessed by it four
years ago been rebled in size and its actual facilt
ties greatly improved. The River Front park has been
made practicable and is largely used tenacre play
ground has been purchased and opened; projected
way about eighteen miles has been begun and
miles will shortly be in service while the ac
qurement of the balance is proceeding rapidly great
natural park is about twothirds purchased and within
year probably 500 of this will be ready for i'm
provements Lying parallel to the very heart of the city
is beautiful island portion of which the filtration
plant has been established Recently an arrangement
completed, giving to the city, without conmpensa-
tion the for twenty of the balance of this is
land for park purposes All this has been done and the
tax rate instead of being increased expected under
the most favorable conditions, two mills and three ana
half mills unfavorabe conditions has actually
been advanced but onehalf MILL that it stands at
eight mills for cyNpurposes against seven and onehaii
mills in 1902. The increase in revenue, which
has included keeping much cleaner
than those OF Philadelphia well providing for q
sinking fund and other increased current expenditures
has arisen increased assessments due greater
prosperity
publicspirited family has given Harrisburg the
only formal city the United States, and honor
should be paid the Mccormick for this histori
cal and beautiful adornment which includes two columns
from the old state capitol and several fine bronze com
memorative tablets. The administration of Vance c
Mccormick begun 1902 and carried with single ey'
for the public good succeeded by the Gross admin
stration, which is less pure vigorous in its
work. That is the second time the people have "mad
good" in the election Of honest and ncorruptb
mayor.
