Referendum and the Recall

is as if we had made the rounds of the diff
ferent modes, and in our craze for change
are willing to hazard our independence at
finding something new. There is nothing
new under the sun, - strikes off the situation
aptly enough. In the effort to find the new
we are confronted with the old. Knock the
masks away, and there it is. The referen-
dunn is reputation of ourselves, and which
will beget distrust and chaos in the end if
permitted as thought out. It is a pretty
theory to talk of the people uncreating what
they create It is all right in the potential
ity The power is theirs. But at that they
are not to be wantOn in destruction, lest
they destroy themselves. The legislators
are not to be thought apart from the people.
They are the peoples further selves, as are
the other officials that are chosen to act for
the people Their slectiOn is merely a mat
ter of convenience, since the people cannot
meet together to discuss and pass on ques-
tions for the public good. The individual is
in evidence as much as it is possible for him
to be so, and thus answering the best form
of government-the nearest approach to in
dividual government.
Referendum and recall is of the theory
that legislators and officials act independent
ly Of the people, making any handing down
laws to them, rather than carrying out their
wishes. We have no such condition And
when it is urged that we have it is merely
an assumption, or the expression of a the
ory of possibility The legislators and of
fcers could forget the purpose of their selec
ton But would it be conducive to their
political longevity? Not much. They are
also the people, and are no more interested
in making hard conditions than the people
are to have them. The tendency of the Bull
Moose crowd is to divorce the people and
the officials Notwithstanding they are i'm
mediately depending on them. A laborer
will generally stand with his employer in
most things, where politics is not involved,
since he depends on his employer for exist
ence. He may not be en- rapport with the
employer but he does not oppose him or
antagonize him. Some such relation exists
between legislators and officials and the
people.
The referendum and the recall are weap-
ons of destruction. Perhaps nothing in his
tory has worn such a menacing front. They
were not revived out of necessity, but as
engines of offense to beat way into the af-
fections of the people and finally into office
by disgruntled men,
The dear people, happily, are becoming
to see the intent They know that there are
no tyrants among us. If there were, they
would be expelled by the force of public
opinion, which brooks no infringement on
the American patent of rights.-Age.

EDITORIAL.

Perhaps Morgan never contributed to
campaigns with a promise of refund, but
he must have had trump up his sleeve
when he gave a quarter of a million dollars
to aid the candidacy of a presidential as
pirant.
The Seattle Republican., 1912-10-04

The referendum and recall ideas would
have answered very well in the days OF such
tyrants as Nero as matter Of thwartlng
the designs of despots. Representative gov
ernment is the outgrowth of the conditions
of those days and similar conditions until
the ideal in government became realization
the individual governing himself. These
days in all things may not be the best. From
what is taking place daily by improvements
in many directions it may mean that we are
Just entering the good things reserved up
in the centuries for the well-being and earth
ly glory of mankind.
Government, however, is not susceptible
to great changes, as Mr.. Roosevelt would
instill in his followers. We can only be gov
erned by some one wholly or by a few, or
by ourselves wholly, if by ourselves and
others jointly. The choice of government is
indeed limited And the political economist
or the most learned statesman may write
volumes in elaboration of government, but
they will still be speaking to the very few
kinds of government possible. This goes to
say that the evolution leading up to the auto
mobile or to those great printing presses,
with their wilderness of machinery, will not
apply to government. The thoughtless think
of government as they think of machinery.
They think that it can go on and on for
ever, making additions by way of improve
ment. They SPEAK of old-fashioned ideas
and new-fashioned ideas as fippantly as if
they were speaking of wOmen's wearing ap-
parel.
Representative government Is perfect gov
ernment and is not susceptible to any I'M
provement-just as truth will not be bet
tered We cannot accept substitutes for the
parents in the family as the head Of the
family at it's best Philosophers the wise
men of all time, have dreamed of demOcra-
cies and republics, and now and then they
were realized They lapsed now and then,
not because the truth that man would gov
ern himself was in error" but because the
people were traded on; they became heed
less and thoughtless, and as Patrick Henry
put it, little by little the liberties of the peo
pie were stolen from them We have re
fix of that condition today, when under one
pretext or another designing men are max
ing effort to play the people into political
ambush.
And if they are not careful they will lose
their present estate of self-government and
thus revert to one of the other, where dspot-
ism is a phase if not the whole thing-de
pending on the caprice Of an individual or
individuals, rather than on the deliberate
choice of themselves.
The referendum and the recall, if not the
initiative, are not less than expressions OF
representative government in reversion. 1t
