MAJORITY RUNNING MAD
Some sober Reflections ON the Initia-
tive and Referendum and
Recall
New York World)

Under the initiative and referendum
and recall, what would become of the
constitutional guarantees of human
liberty? What would become of the
constitutions themselves.
Under a republican form of govern
ment, constitutions are created to pro-
tect the rights of the minority, not to
protect the rights of the majority. All
the guarantees of liberty written into
American constitutions have had this
single purpose. The majority, by rea-
son of it's superior force, can take care
of itself
When legislation is initiated by pc
tition, enacted by referendum and the
judges are made subject to recall, con-
situations might as we'll be torn up.
Laws are then made by the same au-
thority that establishes the constitu-
ton, and hence must have equal force
with the constitution. Each statute
brought into existence by the initiative
and referendum becomes in effect an
amendment to the constitution and
nullifies anything that conflicts with
1t.
Should judges still persist in declar-
ing initiative and referendum statutes
invalid the judges would be subject &c
removal under the recall. The power
of the majority thus becomes as abso-
lutte as the power of the czar; for the
majority enacts the law and the ma
jority removes the judges who refuse
to sustain the law. The majority il
thereby stripped of all its rights anG
all it's protection. Government is ne
longer the rule of the people; it is th'
within OF the numerical majority, ant
individual liberty is held at the mere!
of this majority.
The World is aware that these arr
very unpopular sentiments. Men Ik,
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan. who ar,
emotional rather than thoughtful
have held up the initiative and refer
endum and recall the ultimat
means of making government respon
sive TO public opinion. Their shalloy
arguments are eagerly sought and &C
cepted by persons who are not accus
toned TO dig TO the roots of grea
questions. and who fail to understan
that instead of gaining new libertie
by these populistic processes we sha1
in reality be surrendering old lii
erties-liberties that have been wo
by the English speaking people thr
long centuries only by drenching tn
land in blood.
Ii is time the American people de
voted a little sober consideration
this initiative and referendum and re
call mania. 1t is time they locke
ahead to see where ii will lead then
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan TO tn
contrary there is still grain OF trut
in old Montaigne's maxim. BE NJ
wiser than you should, and be soberl
wise"
