 There is a coincidence in some of the views expressed in this article, especially in so far as the initiative. the referendum, and the recall is concerned, with certain views expressed by Governor O'Neal in his remarks before the governors at Lake, wood, New Jersey, and in his recent speech before the chamber of commerce in New York. The fact is, however, that the views expressed by me in this article were dictated and typewritten practically in their present form, on my summer va cation, and before either of these speeches were delivered. They are convictions which have held for more than 20 years, and have expressed in different forms on more than one occasion. and which I ex- pect to continue to hold, until shown tlsry error of my way, to which hope al- ways to remain open, if indeed I be in error The similarity of our views on this question results, I am sure, from the fact that we both see the same question from the same point of view.

Conservatism vs. Rddicdlisnn Again

titude of business and commercial trans actions which are every day occurring in this country, If you undermine the inde- pendence of the judiciary, and the same applies in principle to the executive, who is oftentimos required to decide quasi judicial questions, or questions affecting greatly the public interests, any thought rul person can see what complications would result therefrom, and that the dear people at last would be the principle sufferers.
 I cannot recall a period when religious fanaticism, when political radicalism, and when cheap demagogy were more supremely triumphant. The public men of
 this country in both political parties have
 become. to g. certain extent, intimidated. They either have not the courage, or for prudent reasons, most of them think 1t best not to express their true sentiments. If anyone expresses sentiment in favor Of true conservatism, in favor of representative government as distin- guished from popular democracy, if you please, tho answer is immediately forth coming that you are afraid to trust the people.
 The present popular dogma. is the in itiative, the referendum and the recall, the direct tendency of which is to do
 away with representative government, which has proven success, and go gack , to direct democracy, which has proven failure wherever tried. It has queered
 our public men, and 1t has had its effect upon our courts.
 In Athens and in the other republics of | like kind in the early days, the people assembled en masse, passed laws and | tried law suits. The side that fiattered the people most-the side that had se- l cured the best orator who could mislead
 the people, generally won. Finally
 money was freely used, and things be-
 came so corrupt that the government was
 overthrown and liberty succumbed to tyr | amy.

 JEWISH CITIZENS

Mobile, November 22-A special dis patch from Jackson, Miss, says: A mass meeting was held Tuesday night at the state house at which Governor Noel pre- sided to protest against the treatment accorded travelling Americans of the Jew ish race in Russia Bishop Theodore D. Bratton of the Episcopal church in Mis- sissippi, and Bishop Warran A. Chandler of the Methodist church, South, and sev- eral members of the Mississippi delega- tion in Congress delivered addresses.
 Resolutions were adopted calling upon the state department to take action to see that the conduct of the Russian gov ernment is altered toward these citizens of the United States.

New York. November 22-(Special) The Iron Age will say tomorrow: The placing of large car orders in the past week has brought the total for No vember close to 40,000, or probably half as many as for all the preceding 10 months of the year. It is expected that orders for as many as 10000 more will be given out before the end of the year. Today the car companies have from three to four months orders on their books, while the resulting business to iron and steel manufacturers Is only indicated in part by contracts for about 400 900 tons of plates and shapes cover ing the cars bought on the late move ment.
 Buyers of pig iron appear to have taken the large equipment orders as a signal to come into the market and sales of foundry grades in all dis tricts have been heavier than in good many weeks.
 Buffalo has sold 30000 tons including round to Canadian foundries. At Gin cinnati sales of southern iron for early delivery are reported at S975 Birming- ham for No. 2, though s1O holds for the first half of 1912. The purchase of 25,- 900 tons of Bessemer iron by a Ma honing Valley Steel company is accom- panied by the sale of 50.0O0 tons of ore by the steel company to the fur mace company, so that the price does not signify. At Philadelphia an 18,000 ton sliding scale contract for south ern iron Nos. 2, 3 and was closed by pipe company. Other pipe interests bought 10000 tons or more in the east. Cast iron pipe foundries have received good inquiries in the past week and | there is distinctly better promise | of business for 1912. The recent car buying has brought business not only
 to plate and structural mills, but to l foundries, to bar mills and to bolt and
 nut works. In the east the last named
 have bought nearly 30,000 tons of bars
 in the past week.
 | In the past week S1.05 Pittsburg has been more frequently done on bars.
 while s1.10 for plates and shapes has
 been the basis of an increasing share | of the business.

25,000 Tons of Bessemer Iron Pur- chased By Mahoning Valley Steel Plant-3O, ,000 Tons of Bars Pur-
 chased in East Past Week

Cleveland, November 22.-(Special) )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 "The placing of additional orders for cars
 and the prospect of additional buying dur
 ing the remaining months of the year have greatly improved the sentiment of the market and in some centers, particu- larly the Pittsburg districts, there is
 greater mill capacity in operation. The great Homestead plant rs working to full capacity for the first time in more than year The American Sheet and Tin Plate company has started g additional mills. The new plate and bar mill of the Youngstown will be sn operation next month. The car shops or the Cambria Steel company are working double time. In spite, however, of the movement which has taken place, many mills are still very eager for business and some low prices are being named when strong competition develops. Pig iron stocks of the country are still gradually declining and the sta tistics for the first half of November show reduction by both independent steel works and merchant furnaces in the central west and AlaDdula, aDOut 1u,utu IOHS cdcll. A pipe company, with headquarters in Phil adelphia, has renewed a contract for southern pig iron made with an Alabama company which will deliver 1S,000 tons dur ing the next six months.
 The Ohio Iron and Steel company, Low ellville, O., has contracted to take 50,000 tons of Bessemer ore from the Republic Iron and Steel company and convert it into pig iron. There is fair buying of pig iron in New York, New England and the Buffalo districts. It Is estimated that within a few weeks orders for 40O90 cars have been placed and it is expected that orders for 60,OO0 more will be entered on books of car builders before January l. Owing to the fact that orders have come in so freely, car builders are disposed to cease quoting the very low prices which are now prevailing.
 The American Car and Foundry con- pany will build at it's Detroit plant the s4OO cars recently ordered by the New York Central.
 The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has | closed for total of 5000 cars. The South | ern has increased it's car order to a total of 2S0o. The New York Central is under l stood to have awarded 5000 additional cars, bringing its total recent orders up to | 22,OOO cars. The Pennsylvania is expected | to place very large order within the next few days.

The article in this department by IAN

trary. Parents have the solution Of this
question in their own power. I write
from personal experience. Let parents

WEATHER BUREAUS
WIRELESS REPORTS
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Edftor Of THE TIMES:
Referring to an editorial in a morn
ing paper OF Thursday regarding the
necessity for wireless reports of marine
meteorological observations to enable
the Weather Bureau to more accurately
foretell the occurrence of hurricanes
such as recently devasta ated portions Of
tho South Atlantic coast, 1t may be
asked what more does the bureau need
for such work In the way OF funds and
authority than 1t now has at it's COM
mand? Congress, always liberal In
dealing with the bureau, at the last
regular session increased the funds for
telegraphing from $2s5.0C0 TO 100000. and

The problem of the industrials IL In
about the same stage that the rail.
roads reached when the Northern
Securities decision was handed down.
The Standard Oil and Tobacco dissolu.
tion plans mark the same stage in
dealing with industrials that the
Northern Securities decree marked in
the railroad struggle.
Convinced by experience that the
plan of tripping 'em apart" would not
work, public opinion turned to the
regulative idea. The interstate com.
merce act was amended by the Hep
burn and the Mann Elkins laws; and
it is destined yet further to be
strengthened as experience, shall show
it needs. . y.
In all probability the treatment of
the industrials will at length follow
similar lines. The demand for modi.
fication of the Sherman act, or for es.
tablishment of supplemental code for
regulation, is gaining strength very
much as the movement developed which
brought the railroad legislation of 1906
and 1910.
There is everything in the present
