Provide For the Future.

IL is quite usual to hear the crit
icism OF the initiative and referendum
that it is a ponderous and clumsy
procedure, impossible OF practical ap-
plication and use.
That idea is quite general, and car
ries in its wake the suggestion that
the initiative ana referendum iypifes
the folly Of radical reforms.
The suggestion constantly held be-
fore the people Is that the reformers
are impractical and that they agitate
simply to agitate.
The idea ever held before the people
Is that no real results can be expected
from impraetieabie schemes, such as
the Initiative and referendum.
The organic law says that the
United States supreme court is q
branch OF the government triumvirate
with the legislative and executive. It's
exclusive right is TO interpret the laws
enacted by the legislative and enforced
by the executive
Consequently, no matter how COM
pletely the people approve OF reform
the change cannot be carried out,
though the legislative and executive
are in accord with the popular will.
II the courts disapprove.
No one will deny that fact. And
therein lies finally the vital character
OF the initiative and referendum.
It's constitutional character has not
'been denied. The objection is that IL
is impracticable.
Blu, with the general adoption or
the Initiative and referendum by the
various states IL will be possible
through that process to carry into ef-
feet some great popular cause.

All of this was leading away from
the purpose OF Laura's visit. She had
journeyed to Grangeworth for the es-

convincing Ernest that he had made a
very grave mistake, and then permit

conversation by saying:
