ISN'T 1T TOO BAD THE
PEOPLE ARE PER-
MITTED TO VOTE

The Washington Post regards
the election of Mr.. Vardaman TO
the United States Senate from
Mississippi as a sure indication
that the republic is tottering TO
its fall under the baneful inllu-
ence of the primary election law.
Does not the defeat Of Sena-
tor Percy indicate, demands the
Post, that not even John Sharp
Williams could have turned the
tide against Vardaman?"
And does not the overwhelm-
ing victory for Vardaman indi-
cate that the people of Missis
sippi wanted Vardaman to rep
resent them in the senate? A
condition which the esteemed
Post and the rest of the stand
patters would remedy by refus-
ing to allow the people to choose
their own representatives.
The way to preserve the sa-
cred institution of representa-
tive government for the people
is to keep the people from nam
ing their representatives. That
ought to be as plain as the nose
on your face. Kansas City Star.
1t is hardly necessary to say
the Washington Post is against
the initiative and referendum,
for John r.. Mclean has a holy
horror of the common people,
and like President Taft, who
regards them as the mob,
entitled to vote only where it'll
doesn't interfere with the plu-
tocratic order of things.

DEMOCRATS OF OLD KEN

LOCAL OPTION

The county option plank re
Gently adopted by Kentucky
Democrats in State convention
is as follows;
Temperance is essentially
a moral, non-political and social
question, and should not be
made a partisan issue between
political parties. We favor the
extension of the present local
option law, as applied TO the
sale of liquor, which has been
upheld by our highest court as
valid and constitutional, so that
the citizens OF each and every
county in the state may deter
mine for themselves whether
spurious, vinous on malt liquors
may be sold therein. "
Henry Watterson, the political
enemy of Bryan and the brewery
and whisky trusts and plutoc-
racy's biggest Democratic asset
in Kentucky, was up against it,
but it was Watterson that was
run over.

THE ERREPRESSTBLE
SCORES ONCE

Bryan enjoys the work done
by the recent extra session OF
Congress probably better, and
with good reason, than any 9th
er man in the States. Another
of his hobbies has been made
the law Of the land-publicity
before the election-and had
Taft, who fought the idea, sign
the measure. It's enough to
make a wooden Indian smile.
But Bryan never sleeps on the
job, and now he wants publicity
as to expenditure of money by
organizations that nominate
presidents, W h 0 recommend
presidential appointments and
before they are sent to the Sen
ate, publicity as the ownership
of great newspapers, and a few
other things the people are en-
titled to know.
He advised the Democrats in
Congress to cut out the secret
caucus and they wisely decided
to do so.
No wonder the trusts, money,
whisky and all down the line,
plutocracy in every root and
branch, hate him with a fear bor-
dering on frenzy. But they have
d reason, for he is the greatest
champion Of a peoples govern
ment since the days Of Abra-
ham Lincoln.

Blackmailing and corruption
in legislatures can be stopped
by adoption of the Initiative,
Referendum and Recall. The
Initiative will permit the adopt
ion of measures in the public
interest which Legislators will
not pass either because they
have not been bribed to vote for
them or because they have been
bribed to vote against them.
The Referendum will make it
possible to block the enactment
of wrong and unjust measures
which the legislature has pass
ed either because members were
bribed or because demands for
blackmaiI were not granted.
The recall will make it poss-
ible to get lid Of members
whose actions indicate corrup-
tion or corrupt motives, even
though legal proof be lacking.
Under these circumstances a
bribegiver would only be
throwing his money away, since
the act of legislature will not
necessarily be final. Conse-
quently, no bribes will be given.
Sessions Of the Oregon legisla-
ture are not marked by bribery
or bIackmail. This is not be-
cause Oregon Legislators are
any more honest than legisla-
tors elswhere. but because Ore

Of two forts fell into Strlnghams

sailed away into the sound for brief
respite Of liberty.
The Hatteras victory was the begin.
ming of the conquest OF all the North
Carolina coast and was blow TO

The Confederates fought tenaciously
for the control Of those waters even to
the end of the war, but with the fall

and thoroughly done.

On Aug. 20. the day on which this

announced that the United States then
had naval force Of ffty-nine vessels.
G97 guns and 0,212 men in the At
lantic and gulf squadrOns; twenty-five
vessels in the Potomac and eight on

beginning of the navy chat played 50
great part in winning the war for
the north. The south had fewer YES
sells. and her navy remained numeri-
cally inferior throughout the struggle.
Many Of the naval battles were fought
between the Union gunboats and Con-

at Hatteras.
There were but few other stirring
events during the week ending Sept.

raids and close the inlets to the
sounds, Hatteras was the chief point
Of offense, and the inlet had been forti.
fed with two works commanding the
ship channel
On the point Of Hatteras island
south Of the cape, where the channel
passes through the narrow bluffs, the
North Carolinians built fort cover
ing an acre and a half of ground,
with bombproof chambers, mounting
twenty-five guns This was the main
point Of resistance. The mouth Of the
inlet is covered by a sand bar, which
compels ships to follow a narrow chan
mel in order to pass through, and
hence there was no sea room for
maneuyer in front Of the hostile guns.
South Of Fort Hatteras, the large one
in the pass, there is a bay half
mile wide, which ships must cross in
order to reach the channel, and as a
sort Of outwork or picket to hold
up the enemy and give warning to
the garrison at Hatteras the south
erners built another work called Fort
Clark. This work mounted five thirty

The utter insincerity of Presi-
dent Taft's concern for the
rights of the minority, which he
gives as n reason for vetoing
the Arizona Statehood bill, is
evidenced from the fact that he
has not word of comment to
offer on the provision of the New
Mexico constitution whic c h
makes it impossible to amend
that instrument. The rights
of the monopolistic minority be-
ing sufficiently safe-guarded,
the rights of other minorities as
well as the rights of the majori-
ty do not seem to him to deserve
attention. The interests can
rely on Taft to put the screws
to the people any time that they
find it necessary.
