We Vehenne1atly Heed the Recall
OF Officers.

The people should not be compelled to
endure the continuance in power, of an official
who is lawess and oppressive.
We need the Initiative and Referendum in
order that the people can give to themselves
the laws they want and can pass upon those
laws which the Legislature adopt.
No statute should be enforced until the
people, at the polls, have expressed their APP
proval of it.
We need provision in our State Constitu-
ton. making it definite and certain that the
Legislature shall not elect to the United
States Senate any man who has not been
given majority at primary, where all quail
flied voters can express their choice
In case of vacancy by death or resi- gnatiOn,
where the uneXpired term is more than three
months, the Governor should be required to
await the action of the people in primary,
before making an appointment, and the same
requirement should be put upon the Legisla-
ture.
There should be a provision limiting the
power of the courts to punish for contempt,
and it should be specifically stated that said
power should not extend to the punishment
of any citizen who merely criticlzes decis-
81. without in any way obstructing the
Outline business Of the court.
The right to vote should be restricted to
those white adults who have paid their taxes.
All distractions to voting, such as we now
have, should be made impossible.
Just as the State furnishes the school house
and the hool-teacher, it should furnish him
with tools to work with-text-boOks.
No donation, by last will or deed to any
church Or any charity shall be legal unless
made at least six months before the death Of
the testatOr.
All property should be taxed alike, without
any exemptions whatsoever
We should have a Supreme Court, COM
posed of as many members as are necessary
to keep up with the work, and the Court of
Appeals should be abolished
The number of Railroad Commissioners
should be reduced to three, and they should
be required to make a monthly report of what
they are doing, or trying to do.
The attorney to the Commission should be
elective by the people.
In suits for damages against telegraph COM
panies and telephone companies for non
delivery of messages, in cases where such non
delivery causes mental anxiety or anguish,
the jury should be allowed to take those ele-
ments of damage in fixing their verdcts
The Legislature should be required at the
next session after the Constitutional Conven-
ton, to enact the necessary statute to put this
principle into operation.
The Legislature should be prohibited from
granting any charters or authorizing the
grant of the same, which transfer to corpora
lions and private ownership, the power sites
along our rivers; they should be kept as
heritage for all the people, to be developed
by the public for the public good.
By appropriate legislation each of our rail
road corporations should be required to

tant-general or other officer, civil or .. 'ary,
to put In operation what they arc pleased to
term Martial Law, and to murder innocent
citizens, as was done during the Augusta mas
sacre.
There should be an explicit declaration to
the effect that no self-constituted court-martial
can screen q murderer from the just penalty
for his crime, and that all alleged violations
OF State law shall be tried exclusively in civil
courts,

SOME COLLEGE ECONOMISTS.


(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
Four or five years ago one of our
learned professors of political econ
omy wrote for review an article pro-
viding that it would be useless for
the United States Steel Corporation to
reduce prices because it would not
stimulate buying. The ink was hardly
dry on the pages of the review when
the Steel Corporation was compelled
by the competition of the independent
producers to reduce its prices, and at
once, according to the organs of the
steel trade, a great buying movement
started which was felt in every line
of business.
Now another learned professor of
economies protests against reducing
duties because manufacturers will be
compelled to cut wages, and the man
ufacturer who is most liberal to his
workpeople will suffer the most. This
was common idea seventy-five years
go, when political economy was call
ei the dismal science" 1t was sup
pod that the most successful manu-
fact1"er was the one who paid the
lowest wages, employed the youngest
children. worked his people the long
est hours and scrimped and over
worked his hands in every way.
We know better now, those of us
who are not professors of political
economy in protectionist universities.

THUS SPAKE THE WISEMAN.

Snobbery is the pride of those who
are not sure of their position.
The success of some men is due to
their ability to make well enough a
little better.
The word "platonic" means passing
fun for almost-lovers and tragedy for
wives.
Contentment. is largely a matter o.
ways and means-winning ways and
sufficient means.
Many a bachelor has prided himself
upon the fact that he was too deep
to see through. when he was merely
making a spectacle of himself.
There is only one thing of which
we can be absolutely certain in regard
to family trees, namely, that every
body's family is exactly as aid as
everybody else's family.-April Lip

JOHN DREW'S DISTINCTION.

Joseph Jefferson and Wilton Lack
aye We're in the same company one
season. 1t was the custom of Mr.. JEFF
ferson to respond to curtain calls and
make speech to the audience. He
enjoyed it, and the audience enjoyed
it also. Mr.. Lackaye, however, al
ways contended that an actor should
not step out of his part in this man
ner.
One night after Mr. jefferson had
made his speech and was going to his
dressing room, he met Lackaye.
We'll; Wilton" said jefferson, "how
did / do tonight %
"Oh," replied Lackaye, "the same
old story. You went out before the
audience and made the usual blum
der"
"Blunder!" exclaimed jefferson
What did l DO or say that you would
call a blunder?"
Why" said Lackaye, you said,
AS l look into your faces, I feel that
should like to shake hands with each
and every one"

Much falls to the ground, but can
be easily picked up from the snow.
The gum is found in globules, in riffs
and seams of the spruce tree, and is a
highly priced as well as highly priced
product. The lumbermen have little
time to gather it except Sundays, but
there are now many professional
gummers."
In Boston this gum brings 90 cents
an ounce and the choice white clear
speciments bring 50 to $3.50 pound.
Thus a good GUNNER on good terri
tory can easily make from $500 to
$500 in a few months, although it is
hard work and very often there are
days so cold and stormy that he cam
not work at all. So, altogether, the
work is not alluring from a profess
sional standpoint, but it is good sport
for a while.

The Schools gagged in instructing
And the People. local housekeepers
as well as students
in the art of cooking. 1t is an exem-
plification of the modern tendency to
make our schools more practical and
at the same time to bring the instruc-
ton close to the people. 1t is ten
dency that is going to continue until
the time will come when the schools
will be far more intimately associat-
ed than at present with our social and
industrial life. There is every reason
why such should come about. 1t is
foolish to haxe expensive schools and
well paid teaching forces and then
lock everything up so that the least
possible good will result. We should
get the maximum benefit from the
schools, not the minimum.

Those who espoused the cause Of
the progressive party may well rejoice
at the apostacy of
Aiding the Hanna, Munsey
Progressive Party. and others of
their sort. Their
going will not weaken the party Of
the moose, but will strengthen it con-
siderable. 1t will be wei for the pro-
gressives if Perkins also goes back to
the e. o. p.
It was the presence Of Perkins,
Hanna and Munsey, more than any
thing else, that raised the suspicion
the warriors at Amageddon were not
battling solely for the Lord. Those
men are millionaires and trust mag
mates. How came the Lords army to
get backing from Mammon?
If those fellows will now quit the
progressives and leave the manage
ment of the new party to men who
have no great corporations to protect
and who earnestly and sincerely want
to strike hard for the advancement Of
the whole people the progressive
party will live and grow strong. No
political party can live by war chests
Its strength consists in the principles
espoused and in the extent to which
those principles appeal to the hearts

and the intelligence of the people.
What the future of the progressive
party will be no one can foretell. Much
will depend upon how we'll the dem
oCrats keep their pledges and how
truly they serve the nation. But it
seems clear that the detection of its
multimillionaire brigade is favorable
to the progressives. The party did not
win with that support. Without such
backing the party should do better.
1t will be unfortunate If a lawsuit
between two manufacturing concerns
should prevent Pen

streets. 1t is the
up-to- date method of caring for the
streets and it is particularly desirable
to have that system in vogue during
the summer time. 1t keeps the streets
clean and free from dust and disease
germs.
If the manufacturers are going to
fight among themselves and so bar
the use of their flushing tanks it
would seem logical for the city to build
a wagon of it's own. 1t is no violation
Of patent rights for one to make some-
