THE INITIATIVE. REFERENDUM
AND RECALL.

The initiative, referendum and re-
call are state issues and can scarce
be considered as questions involved
in a national campaign. There is no
machinery of government provided
under the federal constitution where
by these policies could be made to
operate with respect to the federal
government. The position Of the DEM
ocratic party and that Of it's candi-
date for president is best described in
the language of Governor Wilson him
self:
Let 40 man deceive himself by the
fallacy that anybody proposes to sub
stitute direct legislation by the people
or a direct reference Of laws voted
In the legis. ature by a vote Of the
people for representative government.
The initiative is a means of re-
capturing the seat of legislative au-
thority on behalf of the people them
selves. The referendum is a means
OF seeing 10 it that unrepresentative
measures are not put upon the statute
book, but are checked by being sub.
mitted 10 the vote of the people.
When you come to the recall the
principle is that If an administrative
ofiicer-for We will begin with an ad.
ministrative officers so corrupt or
so unWise as TO be doing things that
are likely TO lead to all sorts of mis-
chief in the future It will be possible
by process prescribed by the law to
get rid of that officer before the end
of his term.
1 don't see how any man who is
grounded in the traditions Of Ameri.
can affairs, particularly as they de-
rive their origin from New England.
can find any valid objection 70 the
recall OF administrative officers.
1T is another matter when il comes
to the judiciary. l myself have never
been in favor of the recall of Judges
not that some judges haven't de.
served to be recalled-that isa't the
( point. But because that is treating
the symptoms instead OF the disease
The disease lies deeper and sometimes
1t is very, very yirulent and very dan.

ing.
The legislature has given the state
auditor authority TO take possession
Of a bank which he finds unworthy
of public patronage, to close its doors
and to make application for a receiver
to wind up its affairs.
This is one of the most advanced
and progressive steps that have yet
been taken in the public supervision
of banking concerns for the protec-
ton of their patrons, says the Spring
field Journal. 1t seems TO be believed
that if the legislature shall see fit
TO require all Institutions doing a
banking business in Illinois to submit
to the state auditors inspection, and
will put failing or embarrassed banks
in charge of the auditors Office; with
the attorney general acting as legal
advisor, banking in this state will
be on as safe a basis, so far as the
patrons of the banks are concerned,
as It is possible TO make them, and
that in case of failures the business
can be managed and wound up with
absolute safety and with the least
possible cost of those pecuniarily con-
cerned

The Carpet Cure.

Matrimony reduced the Smith house,
hold until there was nothing left of
1t but the old couple, neither of whom
looks old enough to be in the father
and mother In law class. When Bessie
got married Papa Smith took posses
sion of her room. and ii has been his
study, library, smoking room and
crowley since then, and its condition
made the life OF his otherwise happy
wife a burden 'Since he has bis
ROOM" she complained, John has de-
velOped a passion for disorder which
would break a housekeeper's heart"
"Is there a carpet on the fioorT she
was asked No rs there a rugI"
No: he wouldn't have one" We'll.
surprise him and have a carpet put
down." was her friends advice. and
1t was followed He was little sur
prised to find IT," said the woman.

been Uttered. there's more order on
the desk and the place looks tidy.

AW0MNNyO DISSERTATIONS


lady. There it is. Youth cannot sup
ply full companionship to age. Like
must have like, if there is to be con-
tent.
Children have no more right to rule
their parents lives than parents have
to rule their adult sons and daugh-
tiers. Yet one sees it attempted all
the time, to the sorrow of them all.
Here's another thing that makes a
lot of trouble-the money that chill
dren expect to inherit from their par
ents or that relatives expect to be
left to them.
Except where young children or a
wife or an aged parent are dependent
upon the person who has property to
leave after his death, nobody should
feel that he has right to that money
because he is a relative.
Where is the justice in grown man
OF woman expecting that a widowed
parent should refrain from remarry'
ing simply in order that the money
should be kept intact for an inheri
lance? What right has a married
daughter to demand that her mother
should live a lonely old age because
said daughter wants the money that
mother has to be left" to her?-ar
instance lately published in the pa
pers.
| On the other hand, why should 81
able-bodied parent with means of his
own, go to law to get possession Of
his dead daughters estate (as in g
recent easel, when she had willed il
to her fiancee? 1t was hers, earned
| by her, to be willed as she saw fit
But no. The parent thought he had
more right to it than the man whom
the dead girl loved best of all in the
world.
Why do relatives squabble over the
worldly goods left by the one who hat
died. and grow into bitter enemies
over something that was never earn
ed by them and to which they prob
ably have no moral right?
Sometimes one is tempted to thinl
this would be a better world if in
heritances were not allowed at all eS
cept in the way of provision for thos,
who are entirely dependent, or as ;
deferred payment to one who ha
earned it in some way.

GERMANS ADMIT TARIFF IN
CREASES PRICES.

When the German government in
troduced its tariff law of 1902, it pub
lished with it, as is the custom in
Germany, printed explanation Of the
reasons for its introduction. This Of
fetal document which squarely de-
clares that import duties raised the
cost OF living, reads, in part, as fol-
lows:
Inland prices are raised, so far as
consideration of the circumstances
of the last 10 years will allow US to
judge, in proportion TO the duties"
In precisely this way the tariff In
creases the cost Of the necessaries of
life in the United States.

bleed ourselves for the benefit of the
protected plutocratsl

RABBI WISE FOR WILSON.

II lie announced that Rabbi s s.
Wise Of the Free Synagogue, the
noted reform leader of New York City,
is for Woodrow Wilson for president.
L shall support Woodrow Wilson"
he says, for the presidency, because
] believe that, with the aid of a demo
cratic congress, he will carry into
effect the party pledges of tariff re-
form, and thus abate, If not abolish,
the legajized oppression-the state
sanctioned oppressions-of the protec-
tive order. The democratic party.
under lead of Woodrow Wilson, may
reasonably be expected to put an end
to those tariff laws which have led to
imperialist adventure abroad, and to
criminally corrupt extravaganza at
home"
Rabbi Wise has full justification for
the faith that is in him. The demo
cratic party and Governor Wilson
have promised and are pledged 10
revise the tariff downward to a point
where, while it will not Interfere with
legitimate and honest business, viii
put an end to exploiting the consum-
ers OF the country in the interest of
unholy greed.
This is what the country needs.

ILLINOIS BANKS ALL RIGHT.

Since the illinois Bankers associa-
ton has declined 10 recommend any
specific legislation on the subject Of
the official inspection of banks, II ia
timely and appropriate to remark I'D
on the success and security of the
Incorporated banks in Illinois.
Taken in connection with the small
number of families and the enactment
OF remedial laws, the record made in
illinois is probably without a~paraIIel
In the Whole of the past 10 years
'here have been oaIy three failures of
state banks in Illinois. Of these
three, one paid its depositors in full.
and the other two fell very short

II we should criticise your pie.
Your coffee's murky, weak and pale.
Your salads warm and often stale.
To eat your biscuits we're afraid.
They're not the kind our mother made.
We know these charges grave are true,
But dare not say a word to you,
For. Bridget. you'd be very rude
And would refuse to serve our food.
Then we'd be left to moan and sigh,
With neither bread nor cake nor pie,
Without a thing to eat in sight
To nurse an awful appetite.
So we reflect that II we'd eat
Three times a day, to be discreet.
Is far the better way to do
Than rouse the tyrant rage in you.
