much puzzled over one question in
his examination paper on civics. 1t

What Is In a Name?

A Chicago man who hardly knew
one tune from another made the mis-
take of taking knowing woman to a
concert at Orchestra hall. The Sc
lections were apparently familiar to
him, but when the Wedding March
of Mendelssohn was being played he
began to evince some interest.

things, but that's a good one. What
is it?"

The Insanity OF Ambition.

OF all types of temperament and
character, Theodore Roosevelt's would
be the least desirable for this republic
and this democracy to experiment with
in the act of destroying the unwritten
law against third term in the prosi-
dency of the United States. When he
became president before, he was first
of all the creation of an assassin's bull
let and, in his youth and inexperience,
the ablest and wisest men of his party
went to aid and counsel him. Their
powerful restraint was ever active,
but not always sufficient to curb his in
stnct and passion to establish one-man
rule. Imagine Mr.. Roosevelt placed
again in the whitehouse. Who would
be his advisers and counselors? Who
at his side could venture, who would
dare to resist his will, to point out his
errors of Judgment, to subject his pro-
gram to cold, merciless criticism in
the light of law and reason?- Spring

in receipts and expenses as compared
with February, 1911.
The returns, which cover about 90
per cent of the steam railway mileage
of the country, average as follows per

AS February contained twenty.nine

THURSDAY, MAY l6, 1912.

Out in the West they have reported
an important discovery They have
found that the much-abused English
sparrow is doing some good for farmers
by destroying the alfalfa weeviI.
Formerly the farmers of the West
looked upon the English sparrow as
common nuisance, just as he is regard
ed in other parts of the country. Last
year when the alfalfa weevil got busy
in the fields it seemed there was no
hope for any sort of crop OF the I'M
portant farm staple. The Westerners
tried all sorts of plans for circumvent-
ing the pest and just as they were
about TO despair of ever finding a meth
cd, the sparrows attacked the weevil
and put it out of commission. Now
that the sparrows have developed a
liking for that sort of work the farmers
are hoping the birds will not weary in
well doing or lose their taste for the
weevl.
1t may be, through this discovery,
that the English sparrow will find one
spot on the face of the earth where he
is welcome. Originally brought to
this country for the purpose of killing
caterpillars the sparrows very quickly
found other food that suited them bet.
ter In consequence the well-meaning
Eastern scientists who advised the inn
portation merely succeeded in making
two pests grow where only one flour
ished before. The country has as
many caterpillers as it ever had and
the sparrows have become great and
growing multitude for which there is
no adequate comparison save.the leaves
of the valley or the sands Of the sea.
Wisconsin does not grow much alfal-
ia and has several millions of English
sparrows which might easily be spared
10 the weevil-stricken regions in case
there is any danger Of the Western
birds being overworked, The rest of
the country will be glad to know that
the English sparrow is good for some
thing and will cheerfully assist in send
ing him back to the alfalfa" where
he may make himself useful

Don't let anybody fool you with the
idea that the present question is whetb
er or not the people shall rule. Every
body is agreed that the people shall
rule. Nobody is for anything else.
But the great big question which you
are face to face with now is whether
or not you shall retain the equal
chance you now have to do your part
of the ruling, or whether you shall
throw your strength into the pool out
OF which nothing ever comes.
A majority never need fear for its
rights. 1t can always take them.
Might makes right for a majority.
A minority never can regain right
it has lost
No nation has ever regained lost
ground,
The toboggan slide of social organic
alton ends in the pit.
If you were always sure Of being one
Of the majority and had DO sense of
honor toward the minority you could
afford 10 take chance on the initiative
referendum and recail-if you have
nothing TO risk. But man who has
any permanent interests, social, com
mercial or economic, has no business
putting the fingers of this government
up against that particular buzz-saw.
A govern rent won't run on the
town-meeting plan. There is too
much Of it. IL must have organization.
Direct legislation Is disorganization.
AT the present time there are more
bills introduced in Congress every
session than any member could read
through in ten years. And probably
as many more are turned down by the
members without being introduced
Under the system Of organization
which deliberatiye body maintains,
these bills can he sifted down TO the
few that really demand attention, and
they can and usually do secure CON
sideration with relation TO their com
paratiye Importance. And this is done
by rnen who give very large part Of
their time TO it, many Of whom have
had years OF legislative experience.
Now suppose that i've per cent Of the
voters are given the right TO initiate
Legislation. Can you picture TO your
self the number Of bills you would be
called upon to vote on In year? From
all the United States ten thousand
would be small number, wouldn't IL?
II would probably be more than a
hundred thousand. And you wouldn't
read them--gou couldn't read them,
and you wouldn't vote on them. But
there are large bodies OF organized
voters in this country who would vote
on them, and they would be enacted

by those who voted.
There is only one answer to that,
and that is that it would be such q
task to get the five per cent on the
initiative petition that few laws would
be thus presented. In other words, 1t
would either be so easy that the voters
would be swamped, or SO difficult that
it would be of no use.
1t is not fear of the tyranny of ma
jorities that leads me to oppose direct
legislation. 1t is a knowledge of the
inability OF majorities to govern. am
not afraid of the peop)e-the funda-
mental wisdom of the American people
is the bulwark of our liberty. But you
know, and | know, that if direct legis-
lation were established tomorrow
neither you nor | would take the time
70 read, study and digest one import
ant bill month.
OF what avail is all this maudln
mollycoddling of the already.too much
exploited public? Are we going to be
stampeded by the assurance that we
are smart enough to do something that
we know we wouldn't do?
Are we then to reform this govern
ment by taking the legislation out of
the hands of men who at least have
time to give it consideration, and place
it in your hands and mine, when we
know that we can not give it proper
attention and continue to earn our
living?
The present legislative system is not
perfect and must be reformed, but it
must be reformed upward and not
must be strengthened,
expanded, enlarged and made efficient.
The time has not yet come to destroy
it.-Searchlight.
