 child of eleven used to walk four miles

 in the week,
 Rose WinslOW il was you may re- member who led the deputation to President Wilson, of working women from the mills and factories-four hundred strong, during the sixty third congress. Miss Winslow speaks with
 passion of the difference in the treat ment meted out to this delegation of labor women representing 5000, 900 voteless women; and that accorded the representatives of 100000 trainmen or sanized voters with thousands of sympathizers.
 You will remember that it was at
 this time that President Wilson said to Rose Winslow: T am bound by the
 Baltimore platform. 1 cannot start i anything
 We believe that in making such a remark to a girl like Rose Winslow i President Wilson started something ] that he is not going to be able to stop Miss Winslow has told of that deputa = i tion in every Colorado coal camp. She  ! is telling it in the large cities of every suffrage state. We are perfectly sure ] that not only western women but many : western men-because of her wonder ] ful appeal-are beginning = thii. that ! there is something just a little bit pc culiar about President Wilson's special l brand of liberty.

Wronq Use of a Word

The democratic state platform denounces democratic that proposed constitutional aemndment requiring that any initiated measure which fails receive a ajorty O the the election where it is submitted shall not become law. The platform further declares the amendment to be attempt abrdge the right of the people. The word "undemocratic" is here used it is often used, as a meaningless epithet. It would have just as much if the platform had declared the amend ment to be unparallelogramatc.
 A thing may be undemocratic either because it is inconsistent with the principles of a democracy or a republic, or using the word in it's sense. undemocratic may describe policy incon- sstent with the policy or procedure of the democratic party
 As democraces and republics existed long before The initiative devised it hardly be said that they intimately related that anything that might be done the latter it's destruc- ton could be called undemocrarc In democracy or republic except one, Switzerland is there such a thing the initiative
 Nor in its narrower, partisan sense the epithet, "undemocratio," be applied to the amendment which adopted by both branches of a legislature which was overwhelmingly democratic. We will suppose that the legislature gone further and adopted an amendment for the repeal of the initiative Even that could not have been called undemocratic if we accept democratic, the policies and practices of the democratic party throughout nation, for we believe only four democratic have the initiative n any form, and in only other democratic state IS the initiative untrammeled is in Arizona. It was not long before Woodrow Wilson became a candidate for president that he denounced nita- tive referendum and recall, and MT. Wilson is now held Co be the final authority democracy
 It was also improper to say, in the platform that the amendment was calculated to abridge the rights of the people It proposes nothing of the It leaves every individual right or priv hegc he now enjoys of voting any initiative re- ferred measure It contemplates only protection of the apathetic and the ignorant against a small and frequently selfish minority It assumes that when certain number of take to go to the polls and majority of them fails support meas ure. a majority does not want it enacted
 The amendment born of a mass of vicious and n-considered legislation enacted years ago by a small minority of the Much all of it. has since happily been declared to be invalid. Such an amendment as has been denounced by the democratic platform believe would bring the initiative into higher repute; it would force upon large number of voters knowledge of proposed measures; a greater effort would be made by more keenly interested Go intelligent consideration initiated meas and informed expression concerning them It would tend to prevent evil and foolish things being done in the dark It would tend to prevent class legislation.

It is remarkable fact that practically without exception, the mining dis trics voted for prohibition, though in the familiar

Socialist View of Adamson Law

Victor Berger the first socialist member of con- gress, has out with denunciation of the Adam law unconstitutional and declares in his Mil Leader the president has buncoed every body including possibly himself"
 The great socialist leader also declares that "con- gress taken of the greatest steps the drec tion of socialism taken-and when it took that step congress did so without knowing what it was doing
 This particular phase of the situation pleases Mir Berger of course it certain that the country at large is overjoyed at the enactment of nasty socialistc legislation particularly it jammed down their throats and lies in lump, undi- gested, like a spring cucumber.
 MT Berger draws the following deduction from President Wilson's in the Adamson bill affair:
 First that the president and congress have settled nothing but only postponed the evil day
 Second that the presidents action in surrendering to the would be strikers prompted by political desperation.
 Third, that will surely be gold d-bricked-A either the trainmen the country's producers and consumers.
 Fourth that if the increase is granted the trainmen the the people will have pay it.
 MT. Berger adds:
 "The buncoed element in any case, however the great public including the working classes, not only will have to pay the difference in wages for the but also s in profits dividends and interest for every $1 of increased wages paid by the rail- the men.
 Moreover, in the the wrangle between the managers and the brotherhoods leads up to a strike after al business will be parayzed there will be general cessation, and the people will face starvation during the period the managers and brotherhoods fighting the matter to finish"
 In regard to the legal phases of the Adamson law MT. Berger has this to say:
 Congress has passed law which it has the ways and means to enforce You cannot force the railroads to pay a certain wage long they privately owned You cannot compel the railroads to do this more than you can compel the owner of American newspaper any other privately owned enterprise to pay certain wage"

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
The Orators

To the Editor of The Republicans
 Sir: Since the avalanche of political 0ratory descended upon us, I have hoped that some listener among the long suffering audiences would write letter to The Republican voicing q protest against attempted extempor- aneous speaking. To deliver a good off-hand address without more prep aratlon than the initiation of the lungs with more or less heated at mosphere is a high and difficult art one that is usually beyond the reach of the ordinary office seeker With one consplcuous and very commend able exception, the local office seek CTS of both parties have heavily taxed the almost invinciole patience of their audiences by their inept attempts al eXtemporaneous speaking.
 It is. to say the least, discourteous to reasonably intelligent audience to ask it to listen to a lorg, rambling dlspolnted address possessing no pre- determined plan or structure. The oc- casional grains of grain contained ir such discourse are scattered through loads of wordy .chaff, the whole 2 | hodge -podge of bad grammar anG l worse rhetoric.
 The one refreshing exception was | me address of H. E.. Matthews, repuO- i lican candidate for the office of su- perintendent of public instruction. The address bore unmistakable evidence oi 1 having been carefully prepared. Ii had undoubtedly been written an rrobahly rewritten several times anC l literally blue-renciled before it aD peared as a finished product It wa well built and well balanced. packef with thought and food for thought. | was business-like, instructive, con structive and kopefpl. It showed thu MT. Matthews had a good workinl concept of his subject and deserved the gratitude of his audience because he respected it's intelligence. Thi' speech might well serve as model fo the less studious and less conscienti ous brethren of the office seeking fra ternity.

That much of the legislation enacted by congress under the spur of the president within the last year intended for political effect has been charged and circumstances support the allegation The so- called child labor bill had been before congress for more than year without receiving the active aten- tion of the president Southern senators and repre- sentatives were almost soldly against and of both parties in the north apathetic because it was believed it s that in the form in which it had been presented was unconstitutional and would be without effect.

WASHINGTON DOCTOR
 NAY STAY IN STATE

Among the doctors taking the state examination at the state house yester- day was Dr. Charles Harvey Bowker, of Washington, D. C., now stationed at Douglas with a national guard hos pital corps from that city.
 Dr. Bowker, who is one of the lead ing physicians and surgeons of the national capital came to Arizona with regret in his heart. It is needless to say that he did not come because he wanted to. He came because he was so ordered by the government
 After living in Douglas for a few months, and getting an insight into what the state of Arizona really has to offer to the professional man, the doctor decided that he might want to remain here after his term of duty on the border was finished and with that view in mind came to Phoenix yester- day to take the examination for license
