Hamiltonian Socialism.

Little Rock and Fort Smith. the
two leading cities in Arkansas, are
making fight for commission gov
eminent. The politicians are MAX
ing a desperate defense against it
and have issued pamphlet in which
they denounce the commission plan
as The Hsniltonian System of
government.
The politicians are alarmed at the
spread of such well known "Hamil-
tonian" principles as the initiative,
the referendum and the recall.
They are in q state of panic for fear

government that will give the voters
the power to select their own off.
cials free from political domination;
to pass upon all questions Of franchise
grants; to draft their own ordinances
and compel the councilmen to enact
them into law; and. FINALLY, through
the recall, give the po Her to remove

tors any city official who does not
keep faith with the people. Against
these fine old "Hamiltonian" princi-
Piles the politicians of Arkansas are
imploring the people to work and
vote.
And yet the Democratic politicians
of Arkansas make themselves no
more ridiculous in their talk of a
"Hamiltonian system" than the Re-
publican politicians of Iowa and
Kansas who insist that to give the
people a square deal in municipal

Where Prohibition Triumphs

The January American Magazine
contains an interesting Particle en-
titled Drinking in Dry Places" in
which the author, who is an extern
sivc traveller. claims that in no mat
ter what prohibition community he
has been. he has never failed to OBJ
tain drink within two hours of his
arrival. The farce of statewide
prohibition he unveils in describing
a per sonal experience as follows:
Il was in Jackson, Miss, when the
august legislature of that state
passed statewide prohibition law.
Jackson. the city, had been dry for
many years. | arrived in the morn

the clerk where could get drink.

Of whisky. The proprietor called a
boy, ostensibly sent him somewhere
else to get the liquor. In six min
utes the boy returned with pint of
whisky for which paid seventy-five
per cent over the regular price.
The boy had not left the store at all !.
He got the whisky from store-room
at the rear. discussed the situa-
ton with the proprietor. He said
ne had been lobbying for statewide
prohibition. and explained it was
making a fortune for hin. He sent
