WHO WROTE THE AMENDMENT
Author OF Public Utilities BIZ

Author OF PabIie Utilities Bill
Boasts of ohio Achievement.
'T wrote the initiative and referendum
amendment to the Ohio constitution" de-
c!ares Robert Crosser. who Is trying to
persuade the Democrats Of the Twenty
first district to nominate him in place of
the districts present representative.
Robert J. BuIkiey.
Down-state men who sat In the consti-
tutionaI convention question Mr.. cros-
ser's right to the title Of authorship.
They insist Crosser claims too much.
The record supports their objections.
II is Mr.. Croser's amendment only IN
name. Legislative courtesy alone allowed
the cuyahoga member that concession.
As the Plain Dealers Columbus cor
respondent showed conclusively yester-
day morning, the initiative and referen-
dunn amendment TO the State constitution
was the composite work Of three-sccre
or more members OF the convention II
represents the united labors OF a ma
jority Of the membership. which had
been elected on pledge to submit q
direct legislation proposal
The original, simon-pure Crosser amend
ment was an impossible measure which
the convention. although pledged to the
principle. found II utterly impossible tc
consider. II could not even be changed
by amendment TO meet the views Of the
delegates
Crosser's amendment was entirely re-
written four times. II was finally put
into the hands Of a special committee OF
sixty, who virtually threw the CrosseT
measure into the waste basket and built
up the present provision with original
material
Enactment Of the amendment as Cros-
ser would have had II would have meant
defeat at the polls. Had II been indorsec
at the polls. however. II would have
made the constitution Of Ohio a national
Jest.
When Crosser tells the voters OF the
Twenty-first district IT wrote the initia-
tive and referendum amendment" he Is
dealing in mere political buncombe-
The Plain Dealer believes that for the
Democrats Of the Twenty-nrst district to
defeat Representative Bulkley in order
to give Mr.. Crosser the nomination would
be extremely poor Judgment.-Cleveland

A Martyr for Peace.

In the worldwide excitement over the impending
conflict the assassination of Jean Juares the French
Socialist leader and advocate of peace shrinks to
mere incident Yet the murder of this statesman by
an irresponsible French jngo robbed the French re-
public and the world of life that could i'll be spared
Once this champion of peace saved his country and
Europe from war when he drove Foreign Minister
Delcasse from Office during the clash with the Kaiser
over Agadir.
In the dark hours of the Dreyfus scandal Juares
stroye sturdily for justice. His personal ability
ranked him with the statesmen of France and his
influence was factor TO be considered by the political
forces of Europe-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
