the government nearer to the people;
1t removes suspicion and distrust, and
tends to publicity. The primary is q
safety valve.
THE initiative and referendum are a
part of the same general movement
in some respects of much less wisdom
The referendum, of course, Is the
means by which we have always
amended our constitutions; but they in
volve a fundamental change in our sys-
tenn of government, one that should
not lightly be adopted.
There may be circumstances where
the recall of officials may be applied
with advantage, but where we have
short elective terms it is my opinion
that the wiser provision is for removal
of an officer whose misconduct in
office only after an opportunity to
be heard. In any event, care should
be taken not to apply the recall to the
judiciary, for it would be destructive
to its independence.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 28.-The
new nationalism is the symbol Of the
evolution of the American people-part
Of a world movement to liberal democ-
racy-according to the belief expressed
to the American Bar Association by
Frank D. Kellogg, the government
prosecutor, who trust busted" the
Standard Oil company, and formerly a
leading Roosevelt supporter.
Kellogg's address was minute re-
view of the worlds unrest. Conditions
In America, he said, have heretofore
favored the eccentric philosophy of
Laisez Faire, but recent years had pro-
duced demand for more direct in
dividual participation in government
Il am an optimist," Kellogg declared
Il recognize the wisdom of our con-
stitutional representative democracy
and believe the best way to preserve
it is to welcome the change and meet
these problems, and that the surest
way to destroy our form of govern
ment and the safeguard of our consti-
tional liberty is to blind ourselves to
these innovations. These movements
are not the work of demagogues nor
of flotsam and jetsam upon the tides
of human history. They are move
ments of the public conscience and
never have been and never will be
checked or stopped
There is a widespread demand for
the individual direct participation in
the affairs of government This is
evidenced by the primary law, by the
constitutional amendment to
elect United States senatOrs by direct
vote of the people, by the initiative, the
referendum and the recall. do not
believe that these institutions are
complete remedy for all the Ills that
human depravity inflicts upon people,
