Politicians can try to fool the peo-
! pie, all they want to about leaving
everything to the will of the people,
but the people themselves know that
such efforts are simply for grand
stand effect and do not contain par
ticle of sincerity. Any man will be
willing to leave matters of government
or even of individual concern, to the
people If the people were inclined to
study every question that any man or
men brought up. But the people do
not care to put in their time studying
technical information about some
measure simply because a few men
want to put 1t into the constitution.
The average citizen does not want the
responsibility of detailed government
on him individually. Whether this is
right or not, it is true. The voter pre-
