FOR ADVISORY
INITIATIVE

The system of state advisory, in
itiative and referendum proposed for
New Jedsey is, practically, the same
as it is proposed to establish in ma
tional affairs. There are as many
different referendum systems, al
most, as there are different kinds of
election laws. That proposed for ma
tional use and in the state bills be-
fore the legislature, fl is to enable the
electorate, by an advisory vote, to
propose legislation. The taking of
the vote is not binding upon the
legislative body, but merely an ex-
preston of public opinion. If the ex-
preston of opinion is decided, it is,
of course, natural that the legislat-
ors will be guided by It,
AS proposed in national legislation
this system has the support of 1O7
members of the next house of repre-
sentatives, who in the campaign last
fall pledged themselves to vote for
laws establishing the system nation
ally.
Congressman from New Jersey
who are definitely pledged to the sup
port of system for allowing the peo-
pie an advisory vote on public ques-
tions, are Hon. William Huges, sixth
district; Hon. LeGage Pratt, eighth
district, and Hon. Ira Wood, fourth
district.
Some of the prominent public men
in national life who are advocates of
the initiative and referendum plan
are William j. Bryan, Robert M. La
Toilette, Fred T. Dubois, Senator
Charles w. Fulton, of Oregon, SEN
ator-elect Bourne, of Oregon, Senator
Robert j. Gamble, of South Dakota.
ex-senator John Gearip, of Oregon,
Senator Newlands, Of Nevada, Hon
William Sulzer, Hon. Charles Towne.
Governor Joseph w. Folk, Of Missou-
RI, Senator Stone, of Missouri, Champ
Clark, Congressman Charles Town
send, of Michigan, Mayor Adam of
Buffalo, Tom Johnson. Mayor Pagan
of Jersey City, Mayor Whitlock, of
Toledo, and hundreds of others.

THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE CITIZEN.
Samuel Merwin in Success Maya
Zine.")

Samuel Merwin in Success Maga-
zine.O
Some of us may think we have
nothing to do with the legislature
question; we may brag foolishly that
we don't know who represents the
county, and that we don't propose to
vote anyway. But the work of our
legislature is thing we come into
contact with every day-almost every
moment. We can't walk on a side
walk, or cross a street, or climb on a
street car and pay five cents for the
privilege, or get married, or be bur-
led, or buy quart of milk, or hire an
expressman, or pay the gas bill, with
out coming into contact with powers
or privileges granted directly or in
directly by the state legislature. And
If we foolishly say that the legisla-
ture doesn't concern us, and think
of it merely as part of that remote
thing called politics" we may feel
certain that we are leaving the direc-
tion of our most intimate affairs, in
Guiding the command of our pocket
books, to men who are smart enough
to turn our own weapons against US.
Here is the accepted American
method of running state legisla-
ture, the intrenched, national habit
which a young man of twenty-some-
thing overthrow single-handed in
Wisconsin: First, get your legisla-
ture. This process consists in send
ing down to the capital a hundred or
so of the most harmless men in the
state. They must be harmless, or
the railroad company and the public
service" company and the big brew
ers and manufacturers won't put up
the money to elect them. Vigorous,
independent thinkers are not wanted.
They slip in now and then, but they
are not wanted.

THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY.

The Road to Yesterday, alas,
Is one on which two Fortunes pass;
Bad Fortune there with sombre Il IN,
Stalks silent on the wither'd green;
Good Fortune, smilinfi, full of praise,
Surveys the path with iocund gaze;
Each DOTH hold cup, until,
Where travellers have drunk their fill.
And journeyed on with jor or sorrow,
To seek the road to fair Tomorrow.
The only sign post there to see
Leads to the road "What-is-t -to-be."
The Fates alone do linger there,
Blindly to watch and blindly stare,
AT the travellers who grope their way
Along the Road to Yesterday,
And grovelilng bewail the sup,
They took for Hecate's sour cup,
There blooms but once a perfect May
Along the Road to Yesterday;
And travellers who stay and sin,
Can only moan what might have
been,
