The Constitution by the
Party of the People

The initiative and referen-
dun placed within the con
stitution together eliminate
the party boss. The will Of
the people cannot be thwart-
ed by a bunch of timo-serv-
ing legislators in pay OF the
railroads, and there can be
nodeadlocks in the election OF
United States senator's, such
as have disgraced Delaware
aud a dozen other states.
In n way, the primary is but
referendum applied to the
election of officials. The
democratic doctrine is that
the governing power is in
the people, while the republi-
can doctrine is that govern
ing power is above the peo-
pie. The initiative and ref
erendum are strictly demo-
cratic measures for demo-

LONDON R0WDlES.
The Way They T%errorized the Citizens
In the Old Days.

SoIue curious particulars Of the dan
gers Of London streets I'm the old days
are given In an article ON The Scow-
rers and the Mohocks' in the British
Monthly Review. The favorite prac-
tice Of the Scowrers was to invade
some tavern In the evening, drive out
the customers, Ill treat the proprietor
and his attendants, wreck the prem
ises and, above all, "roar." Steele
tells of he Mohocks, n Of whose pas
times was to enclose women in casks
and roll them down the street" In
1912 Il royal proclamation was issued
offering n reward Of Zoo for the ap-
prehensiOn of any Mohock. Soon after
the accession of George ". to the
throne in 1890 there was u %recrudcs-
cence, though In n milder form, OF
Mohock rowdyism. and attacks on the
watch-'boxing the Charles" as the
phrase w~ent-oncs more became fash
ionable among the wilder spirits OF
London. These revelries, however,
were rudely disturbed by the estab-
lishment I'm 1920 by Sir Robert Peel OF
all efficient body of police.
Yet again in early Victorian days
there was another MohOck outburst III
der the auspices Of the Marquis of Wa
terford, and once more knockers and
bell handles were wrenched off, public
monuments injured, lights eXtinguish-
ed and crockery smashed. This form
OF humor, however, was qaite wasted
upon the local authorities, the marquis
being promptly Knocked down by Il
Waterman and taken up half dead.
The same authority tells us that in the
following year he and some other men
Of fashion were convicted at Derby as
sizes Of trying to overtnrn a caravan,
screwing up a toll barkceper and paint
ing houses and people red. For these
%recreations they were fined f1OO apiece.

INHUMAN TORTURES.
The Old English Custom of Burning
Women Alive.

The horrible punishment of burning
womcn alive seems to have existed in
Saxon England. but perhaps only in
the case Of slaves. Under the Norman
rulers any woman, bond or free, who
killed her husband was burned alive,
ana the anne punishment for this
crime and also for high treason and
even for coming and other minor Of
lenses continued or arose from time To
time through the second and third
periods until ii vas abolished by act
OF parliament In 1900. the last actual
execution of this kind having, how
ever, taken place six years earlier. The
whipping of women for various Of
lenses continued wen later. Public
whipping was not abandoned until
1917. and cases of private whipping oc-
cured as late rs 1920.
There can he no doubt, we think,
that the savage human instinct OF
cruelty had something to do with the
barbarous punishments above men
toned. AS the old Roman public
longed for the carnage of the circus,

Was Aladdin's lamp so very wonder
full? Today we touch Il button when

their horrid appearance. They are
placed afar off in n home of their own
ana are always ready to furnish us
with light and heat ut any time Of tile

more direct than to have to carry an
