Southern Opposition to the Initiative
and Referendum


| With one voice the South says ':no''
to the proposed Government Owner
ship of the Railways. With one voice
it says no" to the Initiative and Refer
endum. And with one voice it says,
Back to the Constitution" Would Mr..
| Bryan turn away from the South and
| all chance of a Democratic victory
| short of some National cataclysm ?
| Louisville Courier Journal.
The foregoing declaration in the lead
ing Democratic paper of the South
| the section of the country that fur
nished the Democratic party with all
its electoral votes in the last National
election-is certainly worthy Of careful
consideration. No one will deny that
the South will control the policies If
the National Democracy in the future
as it has in the past, and yet within Il
England posing as the father of the
Initiative and Referendum, while the
Democratic press of this section has
labored in season and out to make the
public believe that in the success of
their party alone could the advocates
of this principle look for its ultimate
triumph.
Col. Watterson, the ablest and best
known Democratic editor of the South.
and the recognized spokesman of his
party in that section rudely skaters
this ftimSy pretence. With one voice"
he declares the South" (Which domi-
mates the National Democracy "says
no TO the Initiative and Referendum"
There is no question but what Col
Eatterson states the situation pre-
cisely as it stands. 1t will therefore
behoovc advocates Of this principle to
consider what chance it would have
under the leadership of William J.
Bryan while the South with one
voice" said no to it. Even in the
very remote contingency Of Mr.. BRYAN
carrying the election, at least three
fourths-if not four-fifths-of his fol-
lowers in Congress would be from
the South, and it is difficult to
see how he could possibly avoid
selecting the majority Of his cabi-
net from that section. Under such
Mr.. Bryan's advocacy
OF the Initiative and Referendum would
amount to very little inasmuch as he
would have no power to enact it into
law in the face of the compact and de-
ternlincd opposition of the southern
members Of his party. This is the fact
Fhat is set forth and emphasized by |
Col Wattcrson's frank and honest |
statement of the feeling in his section,
and the significance Of it will not be |
lost upon the men of the North who |
are honest advocates Of the Initiative |
and Referendum.

The Socialists of Knox county are
planning to have another protest meet
ing soon, in relation to the Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone affair The
extreme care with which jury is be-
ing selected for the trial of Haywood
in Idaho and the fact that Maine
born judge is presiding ought to elimi-
nate the necessity of any further mass
meetings even if custom and decency
did not. However we know of no one
who has any objection to such mass
meeting if the Socialists see fit to hold
one.

OUT OF BUSINESS.

Long Prairie Leader: Some of our
readers will undoubtedly be deeply
panied to learn that several of the
large department stol es Of Chicago
among which We notice that Of Sears.
Rcebuck & Company-have given up
their grocery departments, owing to
the pure food law, which calls for a
strict inspection Of food stuffs. 1t may
be possible now for our readers, who
have dealt with those firms, insteed
of the local merchants, to understand
why the cheapest store on earth was
enabled to give the quantity for the
money. They are cheap in every way
not only in Price but quality ard
their motto was certainly exemplifed
in more ways than the price. When
laws are passed covering tie manu-
facture and sale Of other goods than
groceries and insisting on mo
adulteration, it will be but short
time until the cheapest houses On
earth'' quietly retire from the business
in which they are COW engaged and
commence the sale of some other form
of gold brick" or engage in some
other get rich quick scheme.

VIDE VARIANCE IN PRICES
Report Says Oil Trust Discriminate
Among Localities,

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE Stand
ard Oil company is most consp1o'
nous example of combination which
maintains substantial monopoly, not
by superiority of service and BY
charging reasonable prices. but by unr
:air methods of destroying competf.s
ton; combination which then uses
the power thus unfairly gained to OPP
press the public through wholly extor~
1ionate prices. It has raised prices
instead of lowering them. 1t has pock-
eted all the advantages Of its econo-
mics instead of sharing them with
the public and has added still further
monopoly profits by charging more
than smaller and less economical con-
Germs could sell for if the Standard
allowed the chance"
This is the characterization of the
Standard Oil company by Herbert
Knox Smith. commissioner of corpora
lions, in the third installment Of his
report on the petroleum industry.
The report deals mainly with the
marketing system of the Standard OIL
company The commissioner charges
that the Standard Oil company, being
I monopoly in the United States, has
raised the price of oil in this country
20 as to enable 1t to sell oil cheaper
in foreign countries. He points out
vide differences in the price of oil In
ng that it discriminates among local
tiles, lowering the price where it has
competition and raising it where It
las driven competition from the field.
The report also contains an interest
ing chapter on the sale of lubricatfng
iii TO railroads.
