PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUG. 1S, 1910
Let Us Harbor No Illusion.

The extreme idiocy of some of the advocates of the initiative. the refer endum and the other "isms" is found in suggestion yesterday that it is not sufficient that any of these ques- tions be submitted to the people separately and apart from the con stitution, on the ground that if that were done and it would be shown that a majority of the people favored those propositions the president and the congress might reject them. while approving the constitution itself as sane.
 On the other hand, they argue. if constitution, the president and the congress would not dare to reject them; that is, they would be forcei to swallow them. however distastefuL
 We do not know whether the con- gress and the president would enter tain such objections to this proposed extraneous matter as to disapprove it, whether submitted as a part of the constitution or in the form of separate propositions ratified by the voters of Arizona. But if the presi- dent and congress should happen to object to all or any of it. the objection would be made whether the matter might be in the constitu- ton or be only an umbilical attach ment of it.
 The president and congress will not be influenced in their dealing with the constitution by fear. They will dare" to do precisely what they want to do, and if the constitution fail. it will sink into the sea of failures. leaving not a ripple to mark the spot where it disappeared.
 The congress and the president have d wide discretion in this matter The constitution will be examined as to its conformity to the constitution of the United States and as to it's freedom from freakishness. It will perhaps be examined as to it's char acter as a reflection of the mental attitude of the people of the terri tory.
 We may add. by way of parenthesis. that the mental attitude would be equally as clearly reflected in the separate or detached propositions.
 For many reasons the constitution might fail. It would be possible for it to fail for no reason at all, so broad is the power of congress and the president in dealing with it.
 Another thing to be considered is this: The short session of congress, in which we all trust the constitution will be favorably and finally passed upon. will be composed largely of men who will be embittered against in ,urgency and who might not look with favor upon a constitution which smacks in any degree of insurgency. Whether or not they would find in such an Arizona constitution as has been proposed in some quarters sui ficient provocation for its rejection, it is needless to make it patchwork Cs red rags which might produce an irritation that would be fatal to our hopes of statehood.
 Anyway, Arizonians should not har- Dor the delusion that they can exert any compelling force against the president and the congress.
Arizona republican., 1910-08-13

Important as the preparations for a constitution are, 1t should not be for gotten that there is a territorial fair to be prepared for. The time of Ari- zonians should be so employed that neither of these great matters will be neglected.
