rHE TINE AND THE CHARGE.

Z Times change and men frequently change with them, but principles never 1: they are eternal, immutahle, ,unalterable, unchangeable." Alexander H. Steph- ens.l
 To those students of history who will delve in ancient lore in the coming centuries the later years of the first and the earlier years of the second decade in the twentieth cen- tury will be marked as an epoch in the development of free govern ment. Those years will go into ' history as the period of transition from representative government to direct government by the people. The movement which has set in toward that end can be neither checked nor diverted. Whether it will be for the veal or woe of the people there is room for grave question; but there is in the hearts of people a rising tide of determin- ation which will compass the change just as surely as did a similar tide destroy slavery half century ago. To those who try to look beneath the surface of the swiftly rushing stream of human life and passion and read the mes- sages there written, it is very plain that the people are supremely dis satisfied with representative gov ernment as handed down to them by the founders of the republic; and while not decreeing it's com plete abolition they are determined to bend it to their own will just as they did with the electoral system in the federal government cen tury ago. It is common knowledge that the intention of the framers oi the Constitution of the United States was that the presidential electors were to be left free to make their own choice in electing the Chief Executive. That is yet the theory of the Constitution. But the theory lasted very short time After the first four or five elections the people took to naming their

manipulated against the interest of the people after election. To elect the Chief Executive they permitted the people to vote indirectly by electing in the various states bodies which were to make the selection for them and gave into the hands of the chief executive, subject to manipulation, appointment of all subordinates in the executive, and also the appointment, likewise sub' ject to manipulatipn, of courts with the aristocratic principle of life tenure, that were to be and are a check upon all other branches of the government and upon the power of the people. In the states, for use in local affairs, they gave the people little more power, by making the judiciary elective; but over the elective state judiciary there is held always the menace of supervision by the federal courts whenever it may be possible to get
 
 a case up to them. Then by mak- ing difficult and slow of amend ment all constitutions they inter posed against the people additional restrictions.
 And in all the wondrously bal anced fabric of government that the fathers framed they lost to sight the fact that in the monarchical principle they had overturned they assailed but the exponent of special privilege. It was behind the mon- arch that special privilege entrench- ed itself. With that entrenchment taken it sought immediately other entrenchments, and found them readily in the checks and balances devised in the new government to safeguard aristocracy from en- croachment from below. Instead oi monarchy it was irresponsible power that should have been the target of the American Revolution. But by fearing to trust the people, imagining the destruction of mon- archy would remedy the ills they suffered, and hedging about and restricting the power of the people with alleged constitutional safe- guards they opened the door to farther and worse encroach- |
 ments by that self same irres- ponsible power, which bends to it's will the elective execu- tive and influences courts to put upon constitutional provisions con- structions which were never in- tended at the time of their adop- tion, such as stretching the Four teenth Amendment to the Consti. tuition of the United States to protect corporate aggressions, which amendment was designed exclu- sively to protect the newly en- franchised colored race in their civil rights.
 Perhaps general public intel | ligence was so low in the latter

 president, and the presidential electors were relegated to simple voices to register the will of the people as expressed at the polls in their various states. In the same way the Constitution provides that federal senators shall be elected by state legislatures; but one after an- other the people of the states are wrestling from their legislatures the power ofelection oftheir representa- tives in the upper house of Congress; and eventually legislator will be bound to vote for the candidate named by the people for United States Senator just in the same way that a presidential elector is now bound-by the force of public opinion. Right now to throw down the candidate of his party for pres ident would be all the life of a presidential elector would be worth. He would be driven from public life and almost out from the pale of respectable society. Ere many years pass the same fate will await the legislator who throws down the candidate for United States senator who has received the approval of majority or plurality of the people as expressed at the polls. In other ways the people are reaching out to gather into their own hands powers that under the theory of representative government they gave up when they approved the federal and state constitutions framed for them by their chosen representatives.
 The commentaries upon the federal constitution, such as the Federalist, the Madison journal tan account of the proceedings of the constitutional convention kept by James Madison, who was a delegate therein), etc., all go to show that the people were dis trusted. It should not be forgot ten that the leaders of the Ameri- can Revolution were men with aristocratic tendencies who rebelled against the tyranny of a throne, and were successful in throwing off it's yoke, but hesitated not at ad- mission of as great a fear of what they termed the tyranny of the mob. So when they set up a new government in which they fortified themselves against aggression by monarch, they took good care to fortify themselves from aggression by the common people. They took good care to hedge about the exercise of what little power they left to the people with restrictions 1 so onerous that it was almost im- possible to accomplish it's opera ton. They permitted the peo- pie to elect one house of the Con- gress, and that was all. To elect the higher branch they interposed hodias elected by the people which
