with relief at the welcome sight OF

DIRECT GOVERNMENT.

This scheme of direct govern
ment is today proclaimed as a
mark of progressiveness in gov
eminent In fact, nothing could
be more reactionary. 1t is as old
as history. 1t was tried in an
cient Greece. and it failed. 1t
was tried in ancient Rome, and
1t failed. 1t led always either to
anarchy or despotism. Free gov
eminent was impossible on that
basis. and the race to which we
belong made the glorious dis
covery of representative govern
ment We have been using II
for many centuries in Europe
and America. 1t Is the one great
contribution we have made to
the science of government. Shall
we after more than Il thousand
years of successful experience
discard It in favor Of those an
tiquated and outgrown failures
OF government which novices and
demagogues are reyiving among
us-I mean the initiative. the
referendum and the recall?-Pres-
dent Schurman of Cornell.

He stunned the story author's tricks,
