LET THE PEOPLE RULE
The Constitution Should Be The Peoples DOCu-
ment---They Should Alter or Amend

On October 10Th last The Bee (San
Francisco, CALI began crusade for
the amending of the National Con-
stitution, solely by the expressed will
of a majority of The People at the
polls.
The proposition submitted involved
two points:
First-That hereafter no amend
ment shall be inserted in said Con-
stitution unless it first has received
the sanction of majority of electors
at the polls-not majority of cleo
tors in majority or even two-thirds
of the States, but a majority of the
registered voters of the Nation vot-
ing at a Referendum election.
Second-That any amendment now
in that National Constitution may be
amended or repealed by a majority
of the same sovereign voters through
the process of the Initiative.
Since that time the paper has re-
ceived a vast correspondence thereon.
Most of the correspondents agree
to the very letter with the editorial;
nearly every one coinciding in spirit;
some presenting objections; a very
few protesting; others endorsing, with
suggested limitations; and one or two,
while thoroughly commeding the Ref
erendum half of the suggestion, being
little doubtful about the Initiative.
One suggested alteration is that
the voting should still be by the
States, but the States should show
their will by the popular vote at the
polls.
That would be merely continuing
the present evil under an alias.
1t would be substituting Referen-
dunn of the States for Referendum
of the Legislatures, when what is
wanted is a plain Referendum to all
The People.
The slogan of democracy is: "Let
The People Rule" The People means
the whole People of the United States,
not minority of The People thereof,
as might be represented frequently
by a majority of two-thirds of the
States.
An allied objection offered is that
this method of amending the National
Constitution would give to various
large States domination over smaller
States, in that they represent far
heavier populations.
The National Constitution is ma
tional document; it is supposed to
represent the will of The People of
America.
And that will cannot be decided by
a majority or even two-thirds of the
States even when represented by their
voters, when such voters might con-
stitute but a weak minority of the
citizenship of the Nation.
The sovereign will of The People
of the United States can be expressed
only by the majority voice thereof.
Every man in New York has as much
right to have his vote counted one as

That American poultry keepers are,
on the whole, more efficient In egg pro-
ductio1 seems to be plainly indicated
by the fact That, as compared with the
period before the war, market receipts
of eggs increased more than receipts
of poultry. Reports from persons In
touch with production In many locali-
Ties agree that more eggs are being
produced from the usual numbers of
hens kept, and In many instances from
smaller numbers. II may well be pre-
summed that such efficiency In one line
