The people of Nebraska are just
now deeply interested in the initia
tive and referendum and they find
that here as in other cases the
great reform is bitterly opposed by
the representatives of special inter
ests In Nebraska it is opposed by the
liquor interests whose representatives
helped to defeat it at the last session
of the Nebraska legislature They
are equally active in opposing it t
this time The initiative and refer
endum is in brief a method of bring-
ine Dnngmg or the government near
er to the people the making of the
government more responsive to the
will of the people The initiative
as its name implies describes the
governmental process by which the
voters compel the submission of a
question upon -which they desire to
vote -while the referendum true to
its name describes the machinery
by -which a measure is referred to
the people for their decision Tha
initiative and referendum do not
overthrow representative government
tfcey merely bring the representative
wider the control of his constitu

The Tribune is in harmony with
the genius of this government that
the people shall rule Of course if
this rule is brought about by the in
telligent and thoughtful expression of
a free and honest people unselfishly
and unbiased and without dictation
so much the better Nevertheless
and at all events the people must
or ought to rule This suggests that
the newspaper and especially the
weekly local paper is in a sense the
palladium of the people wherein
within reasonable restrictions and
limitations they may express them
selves on subjects pertinent to their
affairs city county state federal
or whatnot So the publisher makes
the announcement that these col
umns are open to the public in this
regard It is required that these
communications shall be brief and to
the point couched in respectful arid
moderate language and that they
shall appear over the writers name
