The I. and R.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
There is much said these days about
the initiative and referendum, but the
issue as presented does not relate to
the merits of the policy. The question
is: Should the exaction be put into the
Constitution and prescribed as a public
policy? There are men who are just as
much in favor of the policy as are
those who want to make constitu-
tional command Of it, They want the
Constitution so worded as to make it
an object Of legislation. dependent upon
the will of the people at the time the
question Is up for settlement. There is
no hostility in this. 1t Is as much an
appeal to the people as the constitu-
tional requisite makes II.
Besides, 1T is argued that after trial
the people may want to change 1t, but
if il Is an exaction of the Constitution
that would be difficult, If not fmpos-
sible. So in the last analysis the con-
stitutional provision would defeat the
will of the people. But IT Is not prob
lem to excite prejudice or Ill feeling.
II is simply a question whether to fix
a policy in the Constitution or leave 1t
to be settled by a free expression OF
the people as the demand for 1t arises:
whether to incorporate In the organic
or statutory law. The question Is.
Which is the more reasonable?

Progress in Patagonia.

From the New York sun.
The colony Of Chubut in Patagonia is
seldom heard of. yet it has an interest

handful of Welshmen who with their
families left their homes for various rea-
sons. Some were Disconnected because
of politics and some over the language

love Of adventure All were determined
TO found q colony where they would be
absolutely free and self-soverning and
where they could speak their native
tongue.
Patagonia was chosen for the settle
ment because it was then sort OF no
mans land The party went ashore near
the present site OF Port Madryn on the
east coast. They made their way over
land To the Chubut valley. and there they
determined TO remain. The country was
a waste and sadly deficient in water but
with infinite effort and hardship the col
onists dug canals with "A main stem more
than forty miles in length and including
branches more than 200 miles in all. to
irrigate the land. The result was the
creation of an oasis or fertility in the
Patagonian waste
When Argentina annexed Patagonia in
1881 the immediate effect was rather de-
moraliziug TO the Welsh colony Its peo-
pie lost heart, feeling that While they had
lost the protection of the British govern

The Latin-American rule. Effort for a
time relaxed and there was danger of
the colony going to ruin. Its salvation.

To it. 4 healthy feeling has again de-
Veloped, the farms are prosperous and in
creased facilities of communication with
Europe have had the double effect OF
providing a market for some of the
products and of bringing many new re-

Although the population has determined

famous Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing

will be brought up at the October meet

entirely depends, and it Is expected that
no arguments can or will be launched to

particular losses result from making use

Portugal's New Epoch.

Portugal has entered into new
epoch of history since the republic was
| formally recognized by the leading
powers. and but few are those who be-
| lieve that the country will be much
| happier under new regime. though
| 1T has succeeded in Kidding itself of a
peculiarly extravagant and degenerate
| royal dynasty. The discomfort of the
| ignorant and restless populace, con-
| trolled by reckless and fanatic set of
/ priests, is full of danger for the future
| of the new state.
| The greatest danger, however, lies in
the fact that the republicans them
selves are divided, into moderates and
| extremists. who hate one another most
| cordially. True enough. the moderates
are in majority in both houses and
! have succeeded in electing their candi-
| date president. but the extremists are
not patriotic enough to submit to the
| defeat, and content themselves by using
| only strictly constitutional means to
! further The interests of their party.
| Since the days of the great French
revolution the world has not seen a worse
specimen of the selfish demagogue than
| Senior Costa. the supreme leader OF
| the Portuguese mountain" 1t was he
/ who forced the unpopular separation law
upon the country, which lined up the
hierarchy against the republic and which
will keep the country in a state of vio-
lent fermentation for a long time to come
| while the moderates recognize that as
| long as the people are as ignorant as at
present they are not ripe or a separa-
/ ton between church and state. The new
government now desires to modify the
separation law SO to appease the re-
| sentiment created by this measure among
the peasantry, but Senior Costa is NOV
| ing heaven and earth to prevent the only
policy which might win the masses of the
country people for the republic.
| Aside from this party strife, the course
ahead Of the government is full of dan
gerous rocks and reefs. The state of
| finances demands the most rigid economy
| to save the state from bankruptcy, while
many expensive schemes have been drawn
up and many extravagant promises made
| by the late provisional government. To
carry out these would hopelessly ruin the
country while not to carry them out
means disappointing an unthinking mob
and forging arms for the demagogues.

IRISH ROADS
Are Superior to Those of
Other European
Lands.

At present there are 1888 miles Of
railway in Ireland, and these rail-
ways are under twerty-nine separate
arrangements. Most of the stock is
held by English capitalists, The man
agement is usually anti-Irish or at
least anti-Nationalist and anti Catho-
lie English ownership and quasi
English contnbl make the Irish rail-
way system subservent to English
railway interests.
Ireland has $4,000 miles of rural
roads, while Scotland has only "a
900. These roads are kept in re-
pair by the various counties, yet the
new Parliament has appropriated
$S,000,000 for the improvement and
construction of rural roads in Great
Britain and Ireland. OF this sum
only $750,000 has been allotted to
Ireland. 1t is not one-tenth of the
whole sum and yet Ireland is en-
titled to a fifth at least. Ireland is
perhaps the best roaded country i'm
Europe. Owing to the geological
formation of the country the cost rlf
construction is very high Hence the
tax levied for roads in Ireland is
about three times what is collected in
other parts of the United Kingdom
