Radicals and Conservatives

The correspondent who prepared the account of the
Mooney meeting in Chicago Tuesday was guilty of
unconscious humor when speaking of the "conserva-
tive and the radical" clements in the assemblage
Of course almost everything in this world is compare
tive comparable We suppose some Bedamites
are conservative in comparison with their more vo-
lent associates. Thus imagines himself to be

folded and wearing his hat crosswse to give it an
appearance of being Cooked" may be cassed as con-
servative while the inmate who believes he is Nebuch
adnezzar. and all tours chews imaginary grass
would be really listed a radical
But the correspondent leaves us in doubt as to
the identity of the radical and conservative" ele
ments of the Chicago meeting. His distinction is
entirely arbitrary. We do not know whether he means
that the Mooneyies the bolshevsts were the con
servatives.'
Anyway, what differences arose at the conference
were only Temporary. Mooneyitc is ordinarily and
almost without exception bolshevist and vice versa
The only conflict there could have been at Chicago
was concerning matter of time and the immediate
object of the meeting. No doubt every man in the
conference was in sympathy with the principles of
bolshevism but the Mooneytes believed that thew
could be advocated any time while the few minutes
in which they were in session should be consecrated
TO Tom Mooney.
me socialists the anarchists constituting the other
element Cradical' or "conservave') were after big
ger game than Mooney and wanted to include in his
salvation all other outlaws and criminals of their
class. There were no differences at Chicago that
ought not to have been easily reconcilable

A Good Roads Program

When the members of the legislature have given

better to expend this money under one system and
with one purpose, than under many systems and

Constitutional Amendments

There is quite a fine point, and important one
that the liquor interests have raised regarding the
ratification of the federal prohibition amendment by
the legislatures of states where popular government
prevails, such California, Oregon and we think
about thirteen other states
The constitution of the United States prescribing
the manner of amending itself requires only that the
legislatures of o-thirds the states shall ratify
the proposed amendment 1t does not contemplate any
direct action by the people But the legislatures are
the creatures and the the state and amen
able TO the laws of the states. So if law provides
as the laws Of the popular government do that
all acts of the legislature may be reviewed by the
voters through the referendum, except emergency
laws, it looks if this would have to be DONE The
ratification Of proposed constitutional amendment
must be regarded a legislative act.
We do not see though what the liquor interests
can gain by successfully interposng this objection
except little time and the chance that the people of
the state might take different view of the amend
ment from that expressed by the legislature But
he liquor people would hardly be dealt with more
leniently by the people We have known legislatures
to vote down prohibition measures that the people
wanted but we recall only one instance the recent
one in California where legislature voted for prohi-
oion after the people had rejected it.
rAnd in the California case, we are not sure that
there is difference of opinion between the people
on the subject of national prohibition The people
lad only voted down state prohibition and there are
good many people, perhaps good many thousands
who favor national prohibition but believe anything
less than that would be ineffective
