One Of the plans for the future OF
the association 10 TO have young
women strangers net at the local
depots and furnished required infor-
nation as TO boarding houses hotels
and other matters.
In ell the large cities a neatly uni
formed woman may be seen engaged
in this ~ OF the associations work.
II Is proposed to get a member OF the
Deaconess' Home. at Bridgeport. who
Will be stationed mostly at the Y. &
o. depot 10 meet incoming trains. The
club women of Wheeling have prom
issd to pay her salary.
Another undertaking to be engaged
in by the local association is the en-
ployment OF a Bible secretary, who
will do what is known as extension
work among the young women EN-.
ployed in the various industrial estab-
lishments Of Wheeling. This is a field
requiring early attention. and the
women in charge who will live at the
proposed new Y. w. c. A. building,
corner Eleventh and Chapline streets,
will render a constant needed service.
In short. the Young Women's
Christian Association is reaching on;
to do the work done by similar or.
carnations in other cities where large
numbers OF girls are employed. The
number of self-supporting young
women has grown tremendously in
Wheeling in the last ten years.

THE PEACH CROP.
Connecticut Will Have Some Fruit
After All.

Public Utilities Commissioner J. H.
Hale of Glastonbury was in the city
recently and, Of course, a 'Courant
reporter asked him the regular spring
question about the peach outlook. Mr..
Hale said, what has been reported al
so from other sources, that the Geor-
gia crop never looked better than 1t
does today. AS for Connecticut, 1t
turns out that the whole crop is not
lost, as had been at one time feared.
Mr.. Hale said that this state would
probably raise enough peaches for its
own use, and the markets would not
show any marked change. But there
would be no shipping out of the state.
At his own orchard in South Glasto on
bury it takes a long time to find q
live bud, and the same is said to be
the condition at the fine orchards OF
Root Brothers in Pennington. On
the other hand not. far from Mr..
Hale's own orchard that of his broth
err George shows a fine lot Of vigor-
Gus buds and the orchards of the
italians not far away give their prom
Use. At the Hale orchards in Seymour
there is promise of a full yield. Thus
curiously does the cold effect trees.

THE POWER NOT GIVEN TO THE COURTS

when he unthinkingly declaims against
| an innovation. Such will doubtless
| be the case until the end of time. it is
| the same spirit which has obstructed
| all great movements of reform ano
which can only be overcome by the
strength of self-sacrificing, earnest
| and prophetic leaders-men of great
minds and large sense of justice.
Hon. William J. Gaynor, in an ad-
dress given to the public yesterday
utters opinions upon the subject OF
our friends letter, that are not whit
different than those of The Farmer
Mr.. Gaynor uses the following Ian
guage:
"But who was to be the judges OF
such legislation, j. e., as to whether ii
tended to the general health, comfort
safety and welfare? The Legislature
representing the Community. No;
the judges took that unto themselves
They judge thereof over the head OF
the legislature, and declare legisla-
ton unconstitutional which exceeds
their opinion of what is socially wise
or beneficial.
ono SUCH POWER WAS EVER
GIVEN TO THE COURTS.
'They have simply taken it. away
from the legislative department of
the government. They have set them
selves up as the protectors of society
against the law-making power, safe
guarded as it is by the consent of
two houses and the executive veto.
''They do not seem to consider who
is to PROTECT US against THEM in
their judicial legislation.
"In the case of the underground
bakeries, the manufacture Of tobacco
in tenements, the working Of women
in factories at night and so on was
not the legislature, representing the
community, as fit, at least, as any
judge, or a bench of few judges,
mere mortals like the rest of us, to
Judge of the wisdom or advisability
of the laws passed, from the stand
point of the moral, economic and So
cial welfare and progress of society"
We ask Reader" to ponder care
fully the language of Mayor Gaynor,
himself long a judge of the highest
court of his great state.
AS for the last question, what
| would become of country in which
judges could not destroy laws which
legislatures might pass?'' the answer
is that our own is the only consider
able nation in which any such thing
is permitted at all.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-02

quick and easy action.
The merchant who is pushing the
1000 of unadvertised goods because of
a higher margin of profit is trying to
o ercome the inertia of body at
rest, a more difficult task than add
ing to velocity already started. Here
is ar economic waste.
Some consumers have not as vet
thoroughly absorbed the truth-that
as whole advertised goods are the
best on the market. Here is another
economic waste
AS retailers learn that the momen-
tum already gained by articles adver-
tised is a force which they can use
and add to-and as consumers realize
that advertising is honest and belfev-
able, the economic waste disappears.
The elimination of waste energy In
distribution means economy both for
him who sells and him who buys. in
other words, the growth of advertis-
ing means better goods at cheaper
prices.

ganic law.
Since 1898 Utah, Oregon, Nevada,
Montana, Maine, Missouri, North Da-
kota, Colorado and California have
given effect to both initiative and ref
erendum.
| The VELOCITY of the movement
increases yearly. In 1911 the Leg
| islatures of Washington, Wyoming,
| North Dakota, Nebraska, Florida, Ida
no and Wisconsin approved similar
amendments which will become effec-
! tive when ratified by the people.
Illinois has had an advisory ini-
tiative and referendum for number
of years, and will probably provide
the mandatory type this year.
| Taking into consideration the states
| in which legislative action shows that
the adoption of these powers will not
be long delayed, it is probably con-
sentative to say that within five years
the initiative and referendum will ex-
| list in the constitutions of three
fourths of the states.
These facts will be perceived by
anybody who will take the trouble to
study the movement which produced
them.
There was a long period of EDU.
CATION.
Then the people began to institute
the powers on a SMALL SCALE in
city and county governments.
Then isolated states began to adopt
them into the constitution for STATE
WIDE uses.
Finally the EVIDENCE seemed suf-
ficient to show exclusively the value
of the new methods, and they began
to be rapidly and organicly applied.
| But why were the western states
of small population the first to make
up their minds?
| Because the process of distributing
the information upon which million
minds must pass is somewhat slower
than the similar task for a tenth as
many, but more because the West
!
ern states are new, and because what
is called PRIVILEGE has less hold
upon them.
" 1t will be found that some very
small states in the end will be the
last to accept the new measures to
make it easier for the people to gov
ern. These will be found to be the
states in which monopolies of various
kinds, railroad, or Industrial, have
great control over legislatures.
One may be certain that the VOT.
ERS OF CONNECTICUT feel toward
the initiative and referendum about
as the voters of Oregon feel. But
the people of Connecticut ;-e as YET
unable to give expression to Their
will through a legislature dominated
by interests that do not want a pop.

Editor of the Farmer, Sir:
l have read your too numerous edl-
torials attacking the judiciary for de-
claring statutes unconstitutional.
cannot but be sorry that a solid news
paper, like The Farmer, with it's long
and honorable history, should lend it
self to demagogues and mobocracy, by
conveying the idea that the courts are
usurping powers which do not belong
to them. What would become Of q
country in which the Judges could not
destroy laws which legislatures might
pass?
The above communication is writ
ten by a gentleman whose opinions
upon many questions are of the
soundest.
He Is entitled to an answer, and
shall receive it.
In the first place, dear Reader the
opinion of The Farmer, about judges
and their usurpation of legislative
power, is shared by many able judges
and learned jurists.
Reader may rem ember that some
thing Of the kind was said by four
judges of the Federal Supreme court
when the court destroyed the income
tax. The late Justice Harlan very
plainly expressed similar views, when
the same court read the word "rea-
sonable" into the Sherman law.
Hardly a day passes but a judge,
in some part of the country. states
a position upon these questions in ac-
cordance with the position Of this
newspaper.
The chief judges of Oregon have not
very long since expressed the view
that the recall of judges is an excel
lent measure.
Only yesterday the Philadelphia
North American printed an interview
with the prominent Pennsylvania jul
rist, Former Judge E. w. Biddle. sup
porting the recall of court decisions
setting aside public welfare laws.
He says: t
When we consider that these con-
situations have been created by the
people, and are constantly being
amended by them, 1t is difficult to find
anything alarming in this recommen-
dation. It would merely give the peo-
pie, under certain circumstances, an
opportunity to change the fundamen-
tai law upon a distinctly defined ques-
ton, without the delay of having the
legislature first deal with and approve
the amendment. It is absurd to say
that in this can be found the lurking
spirit of anarchism, or that it's ten
dency is to impair the firm foundation
of law and order.
"A vital wrong is alleged to exist
and the basic problem is to have it
abolished, yet the average man seems

OHIO ADOPTS INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

The constitutional convention sit
ting in Ohio has adopted a thorough
~ modern initiative and referendum
plank for the constitution upon which
the people of the states will soon have
an opportunity to vote.
In point of population Ohio is the
fourth largest of the Union, number
ing, according to the Census of 1910,
4,7s7,121 souls.
Only Illinois, Pennsylvania and New
York have more inhabitants.
This ought to lay forever the phan-
tasmic argument, so popular in New
England. that democracy is a function
of small populations, and that the
collective beliefs of 672,565 citizens
in Oregon cannot be received as a sol
id index to the political hopes, aspira-
lions and beliefs in states that have
a million citizens.
Oregon was one of the first states
to adopt these powerful measures of
pure democracy. The action of Ore
gon meant to every unbiased student
of political phenomena that every 9TH
er state would ultimately do the
same thing.
The key to mass action, as DELHI
erately expressed at the ballot box,
is CONSERVATISM.
"AH experience hath shown that
aankind are more disposed to suffer
while evils are siderable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed
This was a truism in Jefferson S
time But there are still those
among the so-called educated class
es-who persist in speaking of the
people as mob without stability,
or any purpose, except to jump fran
ticaIly from one foolish social exper-
iment to another.
The direct opposite is true. Masses
of men do not commit themselves has
tily to changing their institutions, but
with such deliberation many are un-
conscious the mass mind is WILLING
at all, and surprised when the ACT
of WILL is manifested.
The initiative and referendum in its
modern form has been used in civiliz-
ed countries for something like half
a century.
1t has been strongly agitated for
more than twenty years in this coun-
try.
Its first definite application on an
extended scale was in Iowa in 1897
when referendum was required On
all franchise grants. 1t was 1898 be-
fore any state adopted into the con-
stitution both powers. in the manda-
tory form. That was South Dakota
That is to say, there had been sia
years of education and agitation be-
fore any considerable group of peo-
ple adopted either power into its or.
