THE COLONEL
AND THE PEOPLE.

Colonel Roosevelt is picturesquely
adopting the incognito method OF GET
ting next to the people. as prac-
iced with great success by that old
sultan of the Arabian Nights" and |
numerous less spectacular monarchs. |
The only trouble in the coloners
case is that he is living in the age
Of the newspaper and the half-tone.
which is equivalent to saying that |;
Is almost as impossible for public
man OF any prominence TO walk
abroad unrecognized as it is for
criminal to evade the long arm Of
twentieth century law.
The difficulty is accentuated in the
current instance for the reason that
Mr.. Roosevelt is today unquestionably
the best advertised man in the world.
This fact cropped out in his inva-
sion of the heart of the Pennsylva-
MIA anthracite region the ether day.
For a time he passed unrecognized,
but before he had made much prog
ress. the famous dental smile" and
aggressive personality had betrayed
him.

INITIATIVE AND
REFERENDUM.

.
REFERENDUM.
What is known as the initiative
and referendum is a governmental
system which places a means in the
hands of the people themselves to
force desired law on the statute
books of the state. or to present the
onest;on of an undesirable law. This
system of legislation can. only De
desired by a people who fear that
men elected to the legislature VIII
refuse 70 obey their will both in the
matter of omission and commission
of legislative acts.
Several states have provided the
,n,,,a,,vA and referendum, notably
oklahoma and Oregon. There are
many sound objections to the law in
Oregon and the people Of that state
would no doubt agree that their init
alive law is entirely too broad in its
application and many who helped
provide it now realize that it is bur
eening the minds and time OF the
eirizens with many things which
they would much prefer to be con
fined to the legislature.
Under the Oregon law per cent
Of the legal voters of the state may
force a vote or any proposed law
by filing a petition with the secre'
tary of state four months prior to a
general election. With this small
REQUIRED petition too many trivial
matters are liable TO invoke the init
alive To our minds the initiative
should never be permissible exeep
in desperate cases Of neglect or re
fusal on the part Of law makers t.
obey an undoubtedly strong publ
sentiment and a percentage Of no
less than 25 per cent should be re
CURED on an initiative petition
Another objection to the orego'
law is that it permits a very sma
minority to enact legislation For II
stance the oregon law permits
law to be enacted by majority
votes cast on the measure submitted
if only 30 per cent Of the total vot
be cast on a proposed law it mlgl

only a shade above Is per cent
the voters who care enough about
TO cast their votes. The members
a legislature represent the maj'
ity vote OF the state and it Won
be much preferable TO trust the
representatives OF the majority tn
to allow very small minority

itiative law requires that law su
mitted to a vote must receive a n
iority of all the votes cast at
