The Education of the
Voter
THE RECALL
Gives the People Power to Remove an Ineffl-
cient Man From Office.

Huence political conditions, have
for years bent their energies to

itiative, Hitherto when vicious

usually remained there until his
term expired but the instance of
Los Angeles, quoted above. shows
how such case may be dealt WIN

But is the Recall a necessary In
strument 10 place in the hands of
the people? If YOU read only the
daily papers YOU will be convinced
that as good men heartily con-
denim it as others. equally good,
defend it. It is pointed out that
when the mob takes the Initiative
to hang q man instead of leaving
his case in the hands OF law and
the courts, II proves that public
opinion can be Influenced to per-
form sponsible deeds
But happily. there lies in the In
itiative very great power. That
power is the nomination to Office Of
4 man WHO WILL NEVER NEED
TO BE RECALLED. That meth.
cd should be provided for the RI
moval from office Of an unit per

This Fact Escapes
The Average Man.

It is anna ling that fact so sim
Pile and SO plain to discover should
escape the average man. What does
he do when he is convinced that
the ring has so forced up things
about him that only hand-to-
mouth fight is possible?
He does nothing.
The powers know he will do
nothing, and they sing the Halle
luiah Chorus quite often, for quite
often things come their way with
no opposition.

cali and the like the average voter
was about as safe as a man with
one foot in the grave and the other

words. and all the ideas for which
they stand. are not fixed condi-
tons; they are open doorways by
which YOU can go out into the
field and exercise new powers.
It must be remembered that the
Initiative is Just as apt TO inspire
bad man as a good one. 1t is all

TIME recall is special form of
the initiative. The mechan-
ism of this factor in our po-
litical life is very simple. In Ger
tain cities clause has been insert
cd in the charter permitting the
Ealing of new election to fill an
Office on petition of % per cent
more or less. of the voters
Its direct object is to give the
people the power TO remove an in
efficient man from Office, if he has
misused or abused the privileges of
it. BY the recall clause in its char
ter, Los Angeles. Cal, has removed
q mayor from Office
II 10 no easy matter to determine
how far the power of recall is =
just instrument In the hands of the
people. But there is no question
whatever as TO it's safety. if the
people rise to the level of it intelh-
gently. The one great asset count
cd on by political rings and bosses
is the supineness Of the people.
rhey count on the mass not taking
hold, not taking intelligent interest
in politics. And this close ANALYSIS
has point in this. that it leaves
the rings and bosses free to use
their power as thev like.
