Step-less street cars are the latest in
New York. If they are a success it is
likely that they will be adopted gener-

the description of them is not specific
on this point, it is probable that they
are also of the well-known seat-less
variety for the majority of their pat
rons during the rush hours.

THE REAL REACTlONAR1ES.
The supporters of the initiative. refer
endum and recall are the most extreme
reactionaries of the age. They propose to
practically go back to the democracy Of
Athens, where the people in their assem-
blages would appoint generals and remove
them, would enact laws and turn them
down again, would authorize expeditions
and recall them before they had done
their work. The disastrous failure of this
system created the belief that ruled for
subsequent centuries that the people could
not govern themselves.
This government was founded the
belief that the people can govern them
selves if care is taken that their judg-
ments shall be sustained and delibate
and not the prevailing whim Of the day
the election is held. II a modern eX-
ample is needed, the first French republic
was based on the direct rule not only OF
the people, but of the mobs. II lasted IN
that form about seven years and reacted
into dicta torships and empire. The pres

tional restraints, has lasted Al years and
is now nearly stable as our own Con-
stitution.
The new proposition is to discard the
distinctive features of our form of gov
eminent that have been so successful and
to substitute for them the quality or

Guiding many favorable to the measure,
Is that the Tippins bill is dead beyond
hope. The governors veto was fatal
blow to the proposed amendment to the
prohibition law 1t can not be passed
over the executive disapproval
The Tippins bill was put up to the
governor as sort of challenge, so
many are saying today. and the gov
ernor called the hands of the chal-
lengers. In the "show down" the gov
ernor seems to have the better of it.
Observant ones, looking backward
over the two years legislative career
of the Tippins bill effect to see in it a
political football more than a real
statesmanlike proposal designed to
serve the higher purposes of good gov
eminent.
Still Some Fight Left.
There is an impression in the minds
of number of people, favorable to pro-
hibition, that the Tippins bill has been
designedly manipulated in such wise
as to embarrass the governor as much
as possible and to get him in cor
ner."
These people resent what they con-
ceive to be rather questionable pro-

the governor be sustained for that rea-
