THAT HOBO CONYENTION.

a CONVENTION Of tramps or hoboes has
been held in Milwaukee recently Milwaukee
was doubtless selected because the Socialists are
in control of that city There was an address
OF welcome by the Socialist Mayor. The hoboes
demanded that they be given lodging and food and
all that to make easy life for them while in Mil
waukee.
The Socialists didn't like that and Mr.. Victor
Berger, the Socialist Congressmsn-elect, made
some sarcastic remarks about filling the town with
vagrants as he termed the self-apponted delegates
TO the convention The Socialist city government,
he said, was not responsible for the swarming in
of the undesirables.
And yet the hobo conception of Socialism is
doubtless that il would provide comfortable lodg-
ing and food for all trsmps in the country and
that hard work would be abolished. But Socialism
would do nothing of the sort. Persistent hoboes
and vagrants under Socialism would probably be
put in Jail
The hoboes Of course complained about their
inability TO get work and the great lack of work
throughout the country. This view is of course
untrue. Under any form of society and civiliza-
ton there would always be those who shrk
work. the lazy, the incompetent and the indolent,
the drones who want to live off others.
The trouble with a majority of those who are
out of work is that they are out of the kind of
work they want. There is at present great de-
mand for farm labor. The high cost. of living
is attributable to the fact that our farms are not
supplying products to keep up with the demand
Our industrial life is becoming Unbalanced The
country districts could furnish work for all the
idle, but the trouble with the idle in the cities is
that they would prefer to lead the life they do in
the cities rather than take up life in the country
districts where an ordinary amount of labor would
give them fair living

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

T is not probable that the Legislature will pass
- the bill demanded by the advocates of the Init
istive and Referendum who want these provisions
inserted in the constitution and made a part OF
the organic law of the State. But it seems to us
that the Legislature should pass law providing
for the advisory Initiative and Referendum in this
State and then the experiment could be made to
find out how far these principles are practical and
adaptable to conditions in Delaware.
There has been much argument on both sides OF
the question. the measures having staunch sup
porters throughout the West and just as strong op
ponents in the East
One Of the objectors argues that the people take
no interest in public matters in Which a plain
question Of policy is involved, that there must be
some personal candidates, whose magnetism will
attract the voters
Then, again, it is said that the referendum
would give the ignorant and the corrupt a chance
to rule. We have many Of this class in Delaware
it is argued The former vote on referendum
questions however shows that the so-called ignor-
ant and corrupt avoided the questions altogether
did not vote on them. The great bulk Of tie vote
came from that part of the city which IS supposed
to be intelligent and it is foolish to argue that
the people did not understand what they we're
doing. The people take more interest in these
matters than some persons imagine. If they did
not take an Interest in public questions, why would
Wilmington, which is normally Republican city
by good size majority be frequently lost to the
Republicans because Republican voters either re-
fIse TO go to the polls vote the Democratic
ticket. Let us test the people again on these ques-
tons. Let there be an advisory initiative and re-
ferendum in such a manner as will show the force
Of public opinion which will not be ignored by men
in the Legislature or in City Council.
Does any one imagine that the people of this
city would have approved the purchase of the al
legged play ground property in the western part
of the city il they had had an opportunity TO vote
on the matter?
The desrabty of the referendum is recognized
when it is considered that in the proposed paving
bill any change in the law shall be submitted to
the people for their rejection approval. Let us
have some such test as this TO show that our
people are right minded and intelligent and not
the corrupt and sordid and degraded people that
some Delaware newspapers, we regret to say,
would have us believe.

Editorial Opinion
The Tongue Of the Progresslves.

New York Mail (Rep)
The influence of the new progress
sive league" organized within the
Republican party, may be pervasive, or
explosive Thus far, the political mani
festations OF the insurgents who are
enrolled In this league have been
more explosive than pervasive. They
associated with the Democrats 70 over
throw the titular Republican majority
In Congress and unhorse Speaker Can
non. They were the aggressors in the
factional fight that resulted in the
general defeat of the Republican party
in the November elections. Now, with
formal organization and a platform,
they will continue their propaganda
for the control of the Republican
party Apparently. they will seek some
other presidential candidate than Mr.
Taft Their movement is gaining
strength. and yet It is likely that the
supporters of the President will ex-
ceed them in the next national con-
vention.
Whether this progressive movement,
so far as 1t records itself in 1912, shall
take the form of nitroglycerin or Of
yeast is not yet clear In a measure
the stars in their courses are with
these new leaders. The regular Repub-
lican leaders are older men, repre-
sentng constituencies less dynamic
than those behind the insurgent, and
death Is moving these leaders down,
The insurgency which is triumphant in
the West is at least active in the East
But the stubborn and confusing fact
is that western progressive is one
thing and an eastern progressive is
another. They differ. for example, as
La Toilette differs from Hughes. The
President, 10 whose political future
this movement brings perils. would
call himself a progressive. OF several
planks Of the league, the direct pri-
mary is a thing which the East is go.
