In two of our states during the past
year the governors have been Obliged

disturbances caused by striking min

Colorado. it happened that the execut-
ives we're democrats and in each in

criticized by union labo- leaders and
their sympsihizers.
In Michigan. Gov Ferris WAS rcnom

reelected by big plurality by a state
that is normally strongly republican.
In Colorado not only was Gov. Am.
mons not renominated. but his party
refused to commend his attempt 10

mention his namo in its platform. 4
former United States senator, who
was very friendly with the united

$4,000 votes in a state that has beer,

years And not only was he and his

1t, therefore would seem that the
elections in Michigan and Colorado

laws OF the state that they have
sworn to enforce. and to protect life
and property. And ell this prospect

The House Majority

A democratic majority OF 81 in the
national House. as now figured by the
House clerk. leaves the administrat-
ion in a somewhat stronger position
than seemed possible week ago. The
democrats will have 40 more votes
than the republicans and they could
command a majority Of ~ by affect
ing an alliance on any particular
measure with the seven progressives,
one socialist and one independant. In
me present Congress the prOgressives
and one independent member have
frequently supported the administrat-
ion bills. Certainly as a conservat-
i've party. the republicans in the
House would be far less likely to at
tract the support OF the smaller
groups than the democrats-assuming
that the administration party woula
continue to favor b-oadly progressive
rather than conservative policies.
II the House majority on these
lines could be regarded as nearly so.
there would be somewhat less war
rant than appeared week ago to in
terpret the congressional elections as
a notable conservative reaction. one
meets a complication al this point.

II is not paradoxical TO say that
direct legislation" by means of the
initiative and referendum has been
strengthened IN Oregon by the over
whelming defeat at the recent cleo
ton of nearly all of the 29 measures
submitted to the electorate The bal
loting proved to be a terrific storm of
noes from one end of the state TO
the other. with the result that few
really meritorious proposals were lost
iectionable. The voters were in no
mood TO vote for anything apparently,
except the prohibition OF the saloon.

same fate as the universal eight-hour

Most patriotic supporters of real
popular government believe in the
use of the referendum-in moderat-

states have made is in allowing the
referendum and the initiative to be
come the weapon of every propagan-
dist and idle theorist in upset Of
stable government and agitation OF
visionary schemes. Oregon voters do
well to vote no until they can get

ed entirely of liberals, he would have
regarded his administration as exceed
ingly fortunate.
AS parliamentary maiorities go, I'M
der normal conditions, it is idle, and
even ridiculous to interpret a major
ity of 81 which might easily rise to
nearly so on special measures, as a
powerful popular rebuke to the ad-
ministration controlling it. Power
is power, and it cannot be made TO
spell any thing else. Yet the admins

which serves as a warning TO IT.

A good deal of advice is being
poured into the ears of the newly
elected representatives. Much of this
advice is good and some is poor.
One thing that they should bear in
mind is to not merely be the errand
boy of their local constituency. but to
try to serve the whole state. Through
honest seeking to advance Vermont
has fallen into habits of extravaganza
and waste. Efficiency and patriotism
should be the watchwords of the leg
