Initiative and Referendun1.


The referendum is often resOrted TO
even in those states that have not
adopted 1t as permanent policy.
The referendum was applied to the
new constitution of Alabama, and the
board of revenue in this county is
about to fit 1t TO the proposed bond
issue for a new Jail. States and mu-
inequalities are continually using it.
1t simply means that law or a prop
OsitiOn shall be submitted TO the peO-
pie and theiP rejection or acceptance
of it is final
The initiative enables the people to
cause a legislative or representative
body to propose a proposition for the
purpose of submitting it to a vote of
the people. The initiative is started
by means of a petition. The initiative
becomes necessary if the people are
to pass upon all the measures that
they desire TO vote upon.
The initiative and referendum are
in operation in Switzerland, in New
Zealand, and in some of our own
states. 1t begins to be called for in
other countries. Switzerland is the
true home of the initiative and refer
endum, unless indeed the New Eng
land town meetings outrank it in date
and practice. There is nothing dread
full about it 1t simply enables the
people at times to act directly in mat
terS that deeply concern them. To
deny its use would seem to deny the
capacity of the people for self-govern-
ment. Politicians do not like il. and
machines are ready to aSsaiI il in
every possible way, but still it stands
as the rule of the people on unmistak-
ably democratic lines.-Birmingham

Worth Bailey. u. S. NJ.

The ceremonies attending the I'M
yelling of the statue CT Ensign Bag
ley at Raleigh, n. c., yesterday, were
of national interest. Worth BagIey
was a fine type of the young Ameri-
can trained to do national service, and
he performed his part with honor.
He died in a small engagement but
with spirit as intrepid as ever was
shown in the greatest of fields on sea
or land. Capt. Richard Pearson
HCbson was most appropriately the
orator of the day. He is Of the Bag
ley kind, as Bagley was of the Hob
son kind. Had the young North Caro-
linian, indeed, been present when Ad-
miral Sampson called for volunteers
to carry in the ship to close the mouth
OF Santiago harbor, he would have
lined up with those seeking the honor.
