constitutional amendments the legis
lature of two-thirds of the state
can compel it to do bo.
There is no reason why the exer
cise of popular sovereignty show Id he
-inconsistent with the representative
system, and that popular legislation
should not be combined with ree
sentative institutions. It is claimed
that the referendum and initiative
would result In the diminution of the
feeling of responsibility in the mem
bers of representative assemblies.
That advantage, If true, however, is
amply outweighed by the educative
effect which these systems exercise
on the great bulk of the citizens by
disposing them to recognize the ne
cessity for the careful discharge of
the duties involved In their rights,
and by inspiring them with constant
solicitude for the well-being of the
state to which they belong.
The conditions in Switzerland, we
admit, are too different from our own
for its example to be entirely deci
sive. The discipline of self gbvern
ment in the Swiss commune, and
the training afforded by an effective
system, of education have qualified
them for the practice bt direct legis
lation. It might be doubtful wheth
er it would be possible to. introduce
the referendum and initiative else
where without, at the same time, In
troducing a mechanism of govern
ment similar to that which they have
become part and parcel. Otherwise,
it would mean a radical transforma
tion of political life, habits and tra
ditions and probably leading to most
unexpected consequences.
The referendum and initiative are
not -presented as simple sovereign
remedies lor all the political ills of
society, but as important practical
reforms that should be open to free
discussion and worthy of serious con
sideration.. BOYD "WINCHESTER.
St, Matthews, Ky May 1G, 1907.
ROMANCE OF AW DfYKKTIOIf
The late Joseph Gillot was the son
of the man who invented the ma
chine made steel pen. While seek
ing his fortune at Birmingham the
latter became engaged to a Miss
Mitchell, whose brothers were em
ployed in making steel pens by hand.
OHIott realized that machinery
could be devised to do the work and
he procured a press tox stamp the
blanks. Secretly developing his pro
ject, ho eventually succeeded, with
the result that the steel pen became
an Indispensable article of ns all
the world over, and he made a for
tune. On tho day of his wedding he made
a gross of steel pens boforo he went
to tho altar, and these were sold at
one shilling each. London Evening
Standard.
XtABOR SHOULD REMEMBER
Union labor and the laboring class
generally were well represented in
the Oklahoma constitutional conven
tion. Because of provisions that
mean protection to the laboring
class, the constitution as framed , is
distasteful to corporations who
dictate the policies of the republican,
party. If the constitution is nulli
fied and statehood is defeated, the
laboring people of the proposed new
state will have something to remem
ber. Oklahoma City Oklahoman.
