The bureau of statistics of the Phil
ippine government is making a7study
of a plant known to the natives as
''cambon" or 'gaubuen," which pro
duces camphor. This is one Of the
most common weeds in the Philip
pines, growing from five to eight feet
high. 1t has a stem that Is almost
woody in texture, and has long been
used BY the natives of the Philippines.
as we'll as by the natives of China, for
medical purposes. The Chinese, in
parts Of the Kwangtung and Kwangsi
provinces, already distill considerable
-camphor from the plant, the chief
drawback to its more extensive use
being the amount Of labor required to
obtain the gum. The bureau of for
estry at Manila, according to the COM
merce reports, is introducing the ordi'
nary camphor tree Of China and japan
into the mountain districts of Luzon in
large numbers for the purpose OF
building up the future camphor pro-
duction of the islands.

Vox PoPULl.

Constitutions are frail things thes
days. Veritable scraps of pape
when they conflict vita so.called poi
ular rule or the ambitions of the poll
ticians. Colorado gives us an exam
pie of an extreme case. Nowhere ar
modern tendencies more strikingl!
demonstrated.
"Let the people rule has been
political catch phrase for the las
decade. The initiative, referendum
recall and other mediums to invoke
the popular will have been drafted
upon our organic law and the result
ant is most curious piece of patch
work.
In attempting to displace the Nres
ent representative form Of govern
ment and establish upon its ruins q
pure democracy, the extremists have
retained enough of the old to make
the new incOngruOus.
Colorado illustrates the point very
we'll.
IA year ago that state endorsed con
stitutional prohibition by narrow
majority. Before this, the voters In
corporated into their constitution the
recall of judicial decisions involving
constitutionality of laws.
Today the supreme court of Colora'
do has been asked to pass upon the
constitutionality of the prohibition
law which the people authorized.
When the court passes on the law.
the people can reverse or affirm the
decision at the ballot box.
People of the various states have
without due deliberation responded to
the so.called advocates of popular
rule. It is true, certain grievances
exist and the voters are deluded into
thinking that an abolition of repre-.
sentative government and the substi.
tuition of a pure democracy would be
a cure all.
The Colorado case, however, merely
shows into what ridiculous situation
the attempt to cling to the spirit Of
government on the one
side and on the other the determine
ton to apply the principles of pure
democracy lead people. ..s.
1t must be either one thing or the
other. Representative government
must go by the board and a pure depl-
ocracy take it's place. The people are
poorly served who try to harmonlze
the two systems. 1t cannot De lcne.
The liberties and rights guaranteed
by our constitutions have been 1ur-
chased by blood. Caution should be
exercised lest tie se:v;le demagogue
chea: us cut of them
In the meantime, il; is just as well
to adhere more clo3c:y to our con.
stitution. Some very dangerous piece.
dents are being established in the
face of public indifference, largely be
cause we are treating lightly con.
stitutiOnal limitations.

"FoRp A CLOWN" SAYS PARKER.
New York, Dec. 4.-Former Judge
Alton B. Parker yesterday issued the
following statement on the Ford
Peace Plan:
I'm common with many others, l
have deemed it impossible that an
uniformed man-eXploited by those
who would fatten on his millions
would venture abroad proclaiming
the right to speak for our people in
critical international situation. We
are now but three days from Mr..
Ford's threatened sailing and he still
persists. H.. =.
"The time has come for the peopl,
to let',him know that under our Gov
eminent the President is authorized
by the people to speak for them or
designate who shall.
"Huqe conceit."
"FOrd's ignorance and cOnceit en-
boldened him, to seek the honor and
power Of such designation. Coupled
with the Presidents blessing, which,
according to Ford, was denied him.
still he persists and at last has Sc
cured the blessing of former men,
Der of the Cabinet, which he publish
es this morning.
IF we could only be sure that all
other nations would estimate him as
we do, as a clown strutting on the
stage for little time, no harm could
come of it. But we have no such as.
surance. The chances are that his
antics will be taken seriously and
that they will tend to bring us into
contempt. if not hatred.
Wireless Absurditive.
"His program of summoning the
troops from the trenches by wireless
is leading to serious discussion
abroad: and the possibilities of worse.
absufdfties, in the near. future is
shown by the antics and mouthings
of the past two weeks. The people
and dress of this country should tell
him tp stav at home. and the Govern.
mentE should revoke his passports and
those of his guests"
