Would Leave Vote

In those conservative States where
there is genuine doubt how the women
stand on this matter I suggest that 1t
be referred to vote of the women, SO
that they may themselves make the
decision. Surely IL women could vote,
they would strengthen the hands of
those who are endeavoring to deal in
efficient fashion with evils such as the
white slave traffic; evils which can in
part be dealt with nationally but
which In large part can be reached only
by determined local action, such as in

poses.

Nomination of Taft
Gained By Fraud.

The nomination of Mr.. Taft at Chi
cago was a fraud upon the rank and file
of the Republican party; 1t was OBJ
tained only by defrauding the rank and
file of the party of their right to ex-
press their choice, and such fraudulent
acticn does not bind a single honest
member of the party.
Well, what the national committee
and the fraudulent majority of the ma
tional convention did at Chicago in mis-
representing the people has been done
again and again in Congress, perhaps
especially in the Senate and in the
State Legislatures. Again and again
laws demanded by the people have been
refused to the people because the rep
resentatives Of the people misrepresent-
ed them.
Now my proposal Is merely that we
shall give to the people the power to be
used not wantonly but only In excep-
utional cases themselves to see to 1t
that the governmental action taken in
their name Is really the action that they
desire.
The American people and not the
courts, are TO determine their own fun
damental policies. The people should
have power to deal with the effect of
the acts of all their governmental
agencies. This must be extended TO in
clude the effects of judicial acts as well
as, the acts OF the executive and legisla-
tive representatives of the people.

Quotes From Book
of English Liberal.

In a recent book by a notable English
Liberal leader. L.. T. Hobhouse. there
occurs the following sentences dealing
with this subject:
Labor itself had experienced the
. f,Il brunt of the attack. 1t had come, .
not from the politicians. but from
the Judges; but in this country we
have to realize that within wide
limits the judges are In effect legis-
Iators, and legislators with a certain
nersistent bent which can be held In
check only by the constant vigilance
and repeated efforts of the recog-
nized organ for the making and re-
peal OF law.

Should Place Beyond
Quibble and Dispute.

Here the sovereign responsibility OF the
people as a whole should be placed be-
yond all quibble and dispute.
The public needs have been we'll sum-
married. as follows:
/. We hold that the public has a
right to complete knowledge of the
facts Of work.
2. On the basis of these facts and
with the recent discoveries Of physi-
clans and neurologists. engineers and
economists, the public can formulate
minimum occupational standards be-
low which. demonstrably. work can
be prosecuted only at a human de-
felt.
3. In the third place, we hold that
all Industrial conditions which fall
below such standards should come
within the scope of governmental
action and control in the same way
that subnoraml sanitary conditions
are subject to public regulation and
for the same reason-because they
threaten the general welfare.
To the first end, We hold that the
constituted authorities should be empow-
cred to require all employers to file with
them for public purposes such wage
scales and other data as the public ele-
ment in industry demands. The move
ment for honest weights and measures
has its counterpart in industry. All
tallies, scales, and check systems should
be open to public inspection and In
spection of committees of the workers
concerned. All deaths, injuries. and dis.
eases due to Industrial operation should
be reported to public authorities.
The Washington times., 1912-08-06
Would Avoid Rush
Periods of Work.

Our aim should be to secure conditions
which will tend everywhere toward
regular industry, and will do away with
the necessity for rush periods, followed
by out-of-work seasons, which put SO
severe a strain on wage-workers.
1t Is abnormal for any industry to
throw back upon the community the hu-
man wreckage due to its wear and tear,
and the hazards of sickness, accident,
invalidism. involuntary unemployment,
and old age should be provided for
through insurance.
This should be made a charge in
whole or In part upon the industries
the employer. the employe. and. per-
haps. the people at large. to contribute
severally In some degree.
Wherever such standards are not met
by given establishments, by given indus
tries, are unprovided for by a Legisla-
ture. or are baked by unenlightened
courts, the workers are in jeopardy, the
progressive employer is penalized. and
the community, pays a heavy cost in
lessened efficiency and in misery.

Interests to Beat
The New Party.

No better proof can be given than
this of the fact that the fundamental
concern of the privileged interests Is
to beat the new party. Some Of them
would rather beat 1t with Mr.. Wilson;
others would rather beat 1t with Mr..
Taft: but the difference between MT.
Wilson and Mr.. Taft they consider as
trivial as a mere matter OF personal
preference. Their real fight is for either
as against the Progressives. They. rep
resent the allied reactionaries or the
country, and they are against the new
party because to their unerring vision
II is evident that the real danger to
privilege comes from the new party ana
from the new party alone.
