ton of his term of omce.


 No one doubts the ability, the sin cerity and patriotism of the advocates of these changes in our organic laws. But l hope I may not be presumptuous in saying that, in my opinion. the wis dom of the proposed amendments must be seriously questioned
 If you cannot trust the members of the legislature, how can you trust their constituents from whom they spring? If you cannot confide in our legislatures you cannot contidel in hu- man government, nor in human nature itself. If a few of our Legislatures have been found guilty of bribery, it is most unjust to involve all the oth- CTS in their condemnation I have sufficient confidence in the moral in tegrity of our legislatures to be con yinced that the great majority of them have never bent the knee to Mammon.
 TO give to the masses the right of annulling the acts of the legisls. tablished law.
 TO recall a judge because his de cisiOns do not meet with popular ar pr0val is an insult tO the dignity, the independence and the self-respect of our judiciary Far less menacing to the commonwealth is an occasional corrupt or incompetent judge than one who would be the habitual slave Of q caDricious multitude, who had al ways his ear to the ground trying to find out the verdict of the people.
 The constitution of the United States is the palladium of our liber- ties and a landmark in our march or progress. That instrument has been framed by the anxious care and en- frightened zeal of the fathers of the republic Its wisdom has been tested and successfully proved after a trial of a century and a quarter. lf has weatheTed the storms of the century which is past and it should be trust ed for the centuries 10 come.
 What has been good enough foI our fathers ought to be good enough for us. Every change, enither in the political or religious world, is not a reformation.
 Better to bear the ills we know, than to fly to others that We know not of
 Every man that runs about waving a new panacea for social evils is not to be worshipped as a political and moral Teformer We all remember the story of Aladdin and the wonder luI lamp Better to trust to the old lamp of the fathers which has guid- ed the steps of the American people for four generations than to confde in every ignis fatuus that may lead US into dangerons pitfalls.

CALIFORNIAN PLOT
 AGAINST INTELLIGENCE.

The California "progressiyes" for some time have been filled with 9 steady suspicion of State Printer shannon, Sho they think has con spired with himsef to defeat those proposed amendments to the constitu- ton whereby still greater power is to be reserved to the people" The state printer had done several little things that the ''progs" thought did not look right and the Los Angeles Express and the Tribune which have assumed by self election the supreme direction of the ''prog" destiny not only in California, but throughout the world. have warned the state printer that he is the marked object of the vengeance of the people when they come into their own.
 We and other outsiders have not concerned ourselves with the alleged shortcomings of the state printer until now, when the latest charge against him brings up matter of more gen eral interest, alike to proponents and opponents of popular government"
 It appears that some time ago sam ple ballots were issued setting forth the order in which the eight proposed amendments to the constitution would appear on the regular ballot. The ballot contained two columns the amendments presumably ha'ip2 been arranged in the oTds- theii adoption by the legislature The amendments relating to the initiative and referendum occupied a place near

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.--In the course of his jubilee sermon, delivered at the cathedral here today, Cardinal Gib- boIs expressed unqualified disapproy- al of three important political propo- sitiOns which have commanded a large share of public attention-name- ly, the election of United States sen atOrs by the direct vote of the peo pie, the referendum proposition which has come up iE several west ern states, providing for the submis- sion of legislative enactments to the voters for ratification, and the recall Of the judiciary.
 While it is the cardinals custom to preach on the first Sunday of ey- cry month, his discourse today was in the nature Of a prelude to the re- iigious celebration of his golden ju- bilee as a priest of the Catholic church and the silver anniversary Of his cardinalate. which begins on Sun day. Oct. 15, and continues until the 18th.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
 ON DIRECT LEGISLATION

We call attention to an article on this page today in which are set forth the views of Cardinal Gibbons with respect to the subjects Of direct legis. lation, the recall of the judiciary and other devices which some of our fel- low citizens believe are essential to the preservation of the republic.
 These opinions of the cardinal were not uttered in the course of a political address but in a sermon last Sunday at Baltimore in which he was advising his people of their duty to the state as earnesty as he advises them of ther duty to God.
 Those who are advocating those theories denounced by the cardinal cannot in reply resort to their favorite and only weapon, the charge that as an opponent Of the peoples rule" he is a tool for the special interests, for no truer man to his people, and to all the American people lives today, or has ever lived, than James, Cardi- nal Gibbons.
 He is more than distinguished  prelate. For years he has been a stud ent of government and an authority on public affairs whose advice has been sought by statesmen and notably frequently by President Roosevelt. He has been fearlessly outspoken against whatever threatened the state and in favor of what ever has promised advancement.
 We would, for a moment compare this eminent and broadseeing church man, this earnest student, with those shallow advocates, some perhaps hon est, and some palpably dishonest of so-called popular government" which as the cardinal points out is a euphem- ism for tyranny and disorder.
 What served our fathers well will serve us well, he believes, and again he riddles the theory that water may be made to flow naturally uphill; that people who are unable to chose prop CT representatives of themselves can successfully represent themselves; the composite citizen is an impos. sible being, a myth, on which hangs the whole theory of direct legislation.

the middle of the first column, and they were immediately followed by the recall amendment.
 Whether the sample ballot was pre- pared by the state printer, va are .nct inormed, or whether it was is sued by the Direct Legrs,tioa league. of which that misguided millionaire oh' snthror'st, Dr. JoAp R. Haynes. lis tLe head.
 At any rate. the league accepting the sample ballot as the form of the regular ballot, sent out thoasauds of copies Of it and other thousands Of. circulars relating to il, showing the people where to find things oa the bal. lot and otherwise directing the sup posedly intelligent electorate of Cali fornia how to vote. It is said that the literature and its distribution cost the Direct Legislation League about s2o.O0o.
 All this. campaign matter, as it. stands, has been rendered useless, the Express declares. by the infamous
 conduct of State Printer Shannon who has just put out the regular bal lot on which he has arranged the proposed amendments to suit himself and without regard to the literature of the league.
 The initiative and referendum amendment has been denoted to the bottom of the first column and the re call amendment has been cruelty and IunnaturaTly separated from it by being placed in rhe other column. None of : these pampered fayorites are to be
 found where the voter had been in- structed by the leagues circulars 10
 look for them, Hence. in the belief
 Of the Express, Mfr. Shannon has played his last card to defeat pop IltIar government
 ] The league is busiIy engaged in try
 ing to counteract this treachery and is sending out feverishly. new litera- Iture, calling attention to the switching
 the state printer has done in behalf
 Of Private Interest and Special Priv . ilege.
 Now. we have arrived. over a long
 snd circuitous course at the point for
 which We set out. Here is a ballot
 containing the titles to, and brief ex- planaticns Of, only eight proposed | amendments. A least three Of these | amendments assume that the voters of California are unanimously intel ? |Iigent-not only intelligent enough to
 vote but intelligent enough to Iegis late. Surely, therefore, they can read
 and grasp the contents of a compara, . tively simple ballot, if they are ca ] pable of grasping later the meanins 1 of more or less complex, proposed . laws.
 For such an electorate, it would moi | seem unnecessary that it should b,
 furnished weeks in advance with { } chart and compass that it might as l certain the precise location on thu i ballot of any proposed amendment | We cannot avoid the belief that th' p furore of the Express is a reelection upon the intelligence of the California 2 voter. No such attack has ever beer r made upon his perspicacity; no ssci e hint of his illiteraey has ever beeI g thrown out by a reactionary opponent ' of direct legislation.
