point Of view the Senator is undoubtedly
correct in regarding it as the entering
wedge OF a revolutionary movement.
Mr.. Lodges most impressive objection
to the principle of legislation by popular
mandate is that it would. by destroying
the power of representative assemblies,
enlarge the power Of the executive. "Ae
the representative principle sinks, the ex-
eCutive power rises" With the repre-
sentative principle broken down, nothing
would remain but the executive and the
courts, but the courts would not long

Lodge has no relish The division Of
sovereign power into executive, legisla-
tive. and judicial functions he still ad-
heres TO as one OF the recognized and
essential foundations of all government.

Fortifications between the Cnpes.

Recent announcements that the Secre-
tary of War will again ask Congress

good Judgment. If we are TO fortify our
long coast line at ALL We should fortify
adequately, and all the world that cares
to have the information knows that the
existing land batteries at Fort Mon
roe, Fort Wool, and the one or two
isolated points at which guns are sta
toned in the lower bay are nOtoriously
incapable Of preventing the ingress of
a fleet from the open sea and its prog
ress noTthward The distance between
the Capes and the depths Of water make
possible The entrance Of vessels far be-
yond the effective range OF either the
biggest guns or the most powerful
scdrChlights at the forts. OF course,
mines and torpedoes might do the work;
and, anyway. 1t is not plain that a hos
tile fleet could seriously harm the Cap
ital, or its big commercial neighbor 10
the east, even If 1t did succeed in steam
ing safely up the bay. But consistency
and common sense compel the questions.
Why have any bay fortihcations at all
If they are not adequate to the task of
preventing an enemy's ships from COM
ing in? And If there are to be forti-
fcations why not make them effective?
Some critic viii say that additional
batteries are not needed, because our
feet, on the alert all along the coast,
would. in the event Of war, prevent the
entrance Of an enemy. But suppose all
our ships, except d few tubs, were alb
sent on a spectacular and wholly rea-
sonless junket TO, our Pacific coast.
Suppose any one Of a score OF develop
ments which now appear as Wild and
improbable as this much-bungled ''prac-
tice cruise" to the West would have
seemed a year ago. What then?
We think most sensible people will
agree with US in the belief that Secre-
tary Taft's prospective recommendation
regarding the proposed new fortifcations
should be favorably acted on by the
coming session OF Congress and without
unnecessary delay. It IS unfortunate
that the nature of the work as outlined
calls for the expenditure of as much as
S30o.0lO, but that is q detail in these
days OF aItitudinous governmental dis
buTsemeuts.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.
National Issues as Viewed by "a
MnsSachusetts Bryan Lender.


From speech Boy George T. Williams,
In 1895 we nominated a young man
whose heart was filled with sympathy for
the masses Of the people then suffering
from the stagnation and depression of
industry. lie stood upon a platform
which was radical departure from the
platforms and policies Of a generation,
and for eleven years he has been before
the people eXpOUing himself and his pO-
HticaI convictions to searching and re-
.lentless criticism
At the end Of eleven years we find him
stronger in the public esteem than ever
before, and so intrenched in the hearts Of
the people that no one to-day disputes
his splendid leadership, or that he will
next year be the standard bearer Of our
party. The platform also which he repre-
sented has been wonderfully vindicated
by the lapse Of time. Nature. through
the enormous output Of gold. has settled
the money question by filling the avenues
of commerce with new life and elevating
our PROSTATE industries to a state Of un-
exampled prosperity, but the basis Of
that platform was It's demand for the re-
ANfN'N Va NAA| ER'lAI AADAlA AAst NAdA NluilS VI
monopoly in all It's forms. The demands
then made were an extension Of the pow
ers Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to control the railroads, the re-
duction Of an exorbitaut tariff, and a tax
alton Of accumulated wealth through the
levying Of an income tax.
Within the last five years we have seen
a Republican President gain popularity
by securing the powers which we demand
cd for the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and by demanding the levying OF
an income tax. He is now presenting for
the candidacy Of his party a gentleman
who openly advocates the revision OF the
tariff law. The issue between the parties
seems now TO be which shall secure the
confidence Of the people IN the carrying
out Of the policy of the Democratic plat
form Of 1896. Four years ago the at
tempt was again made to place our paTty
under the control Of corporate interests.
The attempt succeeded In securing the
nomination to the Presidency, but il was
so Overwhelmingly reproved by the people
that a repetition Of that effort now seems
impossible. Thus In the nation We are
factors in struggle between progressive
Democracy represented by Mr.. Bryan and
the Republican party claiming to have
emancipated itself from the control of
corporation influences.

In Defense Of Representative system.


Senator Lodge, In a notable address, has
come to the defense Of the representative
principle in government against the as
saults Of those who believe In the adop-
ton of the initiative and referendum
method Of legislation advocated by Mr..
Bryan and his followers. An attempt was
made at the last session Of the AIassachu-
setts legislature TO obtain the passage Of
what IS known as the public opinion bill
This measure provided that on request
Of 10000 voters for the submission OF any
question for an expression of opinion the
State ballot law commission should frame
the question, and upon 5000 voters sign
ing applications the question should be
placed on the ballot at election" An ex-
preston Of opinion by this means would
have had no mandatory effect on the leg
isIature or any State officer, its value be-
ing much the same as that Of petitions
praying for the defeat or enactment Of
specified legislation, yet the legislature
defeated the bin as a dangerous project
tending toward the substitution Of popu-
lar legislation for legislation by a re-
sponsible representative body. II was
regarded, in fact, IS a halfway measure
looking to the ultimate adoption of the
initiative and referendum.
Mr.. Lodge characterizes the bin as a
fundamental and faT-reaching measure"
which, without formally amending the
State constitution, would yet mean a
complete revolution in the fabric of our
government and in the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which that government rests"
in word. the bill would undermine and.
If carried to its logical conclusion in the
initiative and referendum, would break
down the representative principle Of gov
ernment by making the legislature a mere
instrument for recording the popular viii.
It is only fair 70 say that the advocates
Of the bill do not agree with Mr.. Lodges
fears as TO the consequences which might
follow its enactment, their view being
that an authoritative expression of pub
lie opinion would serve as a valuable
guide 10 legislation, and that IL would be,
in effect no worse than instruction TO the
peoples representatives. a form OF popu-
lar mandate which is authorized by the
Massachusetts constitution. Mr. Lodges
criticism, however, seems to look beyond

Seven Millions a Year to One Man!

Seven Millions a Year TO One Man!
The investigation of the affairs Of the
Standard Oh Company which Is now 20
ing on has brought out some rather
startling facts in regard to Mr.. Rookie
feller and his fortune. It has been
shown that he holds securities in excess
of 100000, and that in the last seven
years he has been paid in dividends alone
the sum Of S77,00O,OJ0. Now. any one who
raises his voice against the acquisition
Of monster fortunes is in danger Of be
ing accused Of socialIstic tendencies, but
in spite OF this danger, Is 1t not fair to
ask whether it is possible for any one
man to render such service 10 the world
that I'm seven years he can earn S77-

No one VIII pretend that Mr.. Rookie
feller is SO marvellous a genius that he
deserves 70 be the best-paid man in the
world. What have been his contributions

BY his example been worth very much
TO the world? To the ordinary man the
mere figures. $1,000 DU. convey no real
meaning-it IS just figures All over the
world are men striving honestly and
faithfully, doing good service to the world
at large, and receiving a bare living wage.

IN the face Of the facts brought out at
the hearing In New York. facts which
show the enormous sums that have been
paid TO one man, and which make this
man one OF the richest Of human beings,
one cannot help but ask, Has John D.
Rockefeller earned this money?
A few years ago to have asked such a
question would have seemed the worst
sort Of socialism or demagOgy; to-day it
IS simply a cOmmon-sense query. Year
by year, as we advance in all that makes
civilization higher and nobler, we are
coming to see that something is wrong
which permits injustice to be worked.
It is under laws made for the benefit Of
the whole people that Mr.. Rockefeller
has accumulated this monumental for
tune. The figures given at the hearing in
New York may be taken as a symptom
Of disease-they show that our system
of social and industrial laws is far from
perfect. It will take skill, careful and
calm thought, to correct them, but they
must be corrected. Such wages as the
world has paid Mr.. Rockefeller are un-
just-and injustice cannot endure.

Suppose the Republicans should nomi-
nate Hughes on a conservative platform,
embodying the principles which he has
recently declared; and suppose the Demo
Gratis should nominate Bryan on a plat
form embodying his views; would vir-
ginia go Democratic? In all probability,
yes; for the majority Of voters in this
State are so anectionately affiliated with
the Democratic party, and are so bitterly
opposed 10 the Republican party. that

Never in any epoch Of history have the

never has there been accumulated so
