EVERY CITIZEN A STATESMAN.

CIermont County "Mossback" Has
Opinions and Expresses Them.
The initiative, the referendum and
the recall are hard hit in a commu-
nication published in the Clermont
County Democrat and signed Moss
back" He says, among other things:
1--WE have reached a stage where
almost every citizen is a statesman,
and while not many new ideas are
originated among us, we are ready to
accept every new vision that is
preached by dreamers and uoctrin-
aires, which sound melodious and
SAVIOR of human paradise; but when
tried by our daily conditions our hu-
man passions. our environments, our
neighbors' rights. as we'll as our own,
they fail to make us more peaceful,
more happy or more prosperous than
the old order of things, which by the
aid of use, cleave to their mold. No
demagogue ever led successful rev.
olution, reformation or revocation Of
unjust laws.
Representative government was
considered very good system for
intelligent freemen. In theory it is as
near perfection as human genius can
design. Its failures and shortcomings
are not in the mold, but in the
agency that manipulates it. 1t pro-
vides remedy by a change CT agen-
cies. Nothing is perpetual but the
ha OF ho
and go, according to their deserts
and usefulness. Discrimination and
injustice can continue only so long
as the people assent to it.
Conditions and circumstances may
arise in which the initiative and ref
erendum may be protective and ex-
pansive, but with. better case, closer
scrutiny and more intelligent action,
the servant and representative of the
people, in any official capacity. would
be obedient to the law and sub
missive to the sane wishes af those
who nut linn there. And what more
do you want or what more can you
get with all your new and novel in
ventions?
The recall cf the judges is a deli.
cate and dubious theory. 1t might
be used for good and it might be
used for evil. 1t is a risk with the
chances against it's benefit To
change the law by referendum is one
thing, but to derose judge by re-
call for his Interpretation of the law
is quite another. Under existing con-
ditions judges are answerable like
other public servants for their con-
duct in office.

can party, determined to do scme,
thing, if possible, for a suffering
patient. And what do you sup,
pose they thought necessary to
restore the party to its normal
health? They unanimously agreed
that the party needed a new head;
and that the new head shall be
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin.
The platform adopted was largely
made up of a eulogy of the pro-
posed new head. He is a won
derful man, capable of doing
great things. He has already
done great things for his own
state, as is shown by the junior
senator's election at the small
expense of 100000. The state
of Wisconsin is great, and Robt.
M. LaFollette is it's favorite, also
the favorite of the insurgents for
presidential candidate next year.
What is the matter with Taft?
Oh, he is all right with the great
majority of Republicans, but the
insurgents do not take much lik-
ing to him because he leans, so
they say, too much towards the old
regular Republican organization
and actually vetoed three Demo-
cratic tariff bills passed by the
late extra session because they
seemed to him antagonistic to
the doctrines of the Republican
party.
LaFollette joined with the
Democrats in passing some of
these bills, and consequently
thinks Taft guilty of gross offense
in vetoing the same.
They now want a new head.
The old head is brainy, but new
head with less brain would suit
the insurgents better. When we
compare the President with his
would successor, man with
man, statesman wit h
statesman, LaFollette has no
show. He is by far the inferior
of the two, and if the Republican
party will drop the experienced
Taft and take up the rcArial
LaFoNette it will court defeat at
the polls and shall find it.
Towards the close of his first
term in Office quite a number OF
smart politicians opposed the
nomination of "Old Abe" for a
second term, but the party paid
no heed to the kickers. Lincoln
was nominated and triumphantly
elected. We look for a similar
result next year.
It seems to us that this insur.
gent movement is of the nature
of spite against the chief magis
