Tina is why l say that though I
heartily advocate the recall. initiative

government by the people, that none
OF them are worth a whoop unless
the farmer learns to distinguish the
political fakir from the statesman.
We can put off responsibilities
as intelligent thinkers ard voters
upon any convenient Legislative de-
vice. The American people thought
they had founded genuine democracy
when they decreed they wouldn't have
a king. or u hereditary nobility. They
are still in voluntary bondage to the

especial offender. Until he learns to
separate the political sheep from the
goats, the recall, initiative, referen-
