TAFT RAPS REFERENDUM SYSTEM CALLED REVERSIO.V TO TYPE THAT HAS FAILED. Repreaentatl-re Government Pounded by PUarrlm Fathers Imperiled by Tiresome Nostrums. DETROIT, Dec 19. "The initiative, the referendum and the recall are a complete negation of the representative system established by the Pilgrims and Puritans." declared ex-President Tart, in an address tonight at the annual dinner of the New England Society of Detroit. "The greatest debt -we owe the Pil grims and Puritans is for tho principle, of representative government." he said, j "The initiative, referendum and recall I are a reversion to an earlier type of I pure democracy that failed in Athens and Rome and that always has failed where it has had a trial in any com munity except a small community un der peculiar conditions, different from ours." continued Mr. Taft. "Legislation should be discussed and should be formulated to meet the de fects that come out in discussion. That is what legislators are for. The details of legislation involve that con structive ability that only experts can be expected to have. The initiative gives to a small percentage of the elec torate an opportunity to compel the whole electorate to continue to vote on referendum and increases their elec toral duties beyond the point where they are willing to perform them. The consequence Is that, instead of stim ulating attention to electoral duties, these new nostrums tire the voters a'nd leave the government to the control of a small minority. I "The recall is an institution calcu- j la ted to take all the courage- and stif fening out of public officials and to make the agents of the public jelly fish in the most constructive vork en trusted to them, in doing the uuslness of the people. It has the strongest tendency to limit- the public servants to a listless and. colorless performance of their duties in order not to arouse the enmity of anyone. I am glad to see from the results of the Last elec tion that this cult of pure democracy is losing its fascination and that the party which is chiefly responsible for its spread has almost wholly ceased to be. "The representative system will work well If the people will attend to tbelr duties and those duties need not be so onerous under the representative sys tem as under this system of pure de mocracy, and if they are not so oner ous human nature shows conclusively that the electorate is more likely to perform them well."

Cheerful Obedience Shown to Dnty as Conaeanenee of Withdrawal of Prevlona Hank Measnrea. POSEN, Germany, Doc. 1. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) Germany's Polish problem seems to have eliminated itself, at least tempo rarily, during the war. One of the minor results of hostilities has been a great improvement of the relations be tween the Poles and the Prussian gov ernment, in consequence of which noth ing is now heard of the old friction between the two races in Eastern Ger many. Poles are everywhere doing their full duty on the field of battle, showing cheerful obedience, admirable courage and no less spirit and determination than German soldiers. Some of the heaviest losses during the battles on the eastern frontier have been sus tained by Polish troops, no less than 366.000 of whom are in the field. On the other hand, many indications go to show the government is disposed to put an end to the long period of an tagonism between itself and the Poles. The Polish language is no longer pro scribed; the Prussian authorities promptly set an example In tho ether direction by printing the mobilisation proclamations in Polish aa well as in German, this being the first official use of that language in decades. Public processions of Polish athletic societies were authorized within a few days of the outbreak of war; Polish firms are receiving army contracts for the first time in many years, and the Polish Farmers" Co-operative Associa tion, one of whose main objects had been to fight the Prussianizing of Ger man Poland, not only finds a market for its grain with the government, but also has representation on the military commission entrusted with the pur chase of army supplies. Representa tives of Polish banks sit on the board of the war credit bank. - German Gold- Reserve Increases. BERLIN, Dec 19, by wireless to Say- vllle. L. I.

Newspaperman Wins Decoration. WASHINGTON. Dec. 19. John CsJlan O'Loughlin. an American newspaper man, who accompanied the Christmas ship Jason with gifts for children of the warring nations in Europe, has been decorated with the Grand Cross of the Order of Francis Joseph by the Austrian Emperor, according to dis patehes to the Emhaswy here today. trlan Demonstration From Those Eager to Have Country Fight. CJIIASSO, Switzerland, Dec. 19. via Paris. More than 500 meetings throughout Italy have been arranged for tomorrow to commemorate the an niversary of the hanging of the soldier Overdank, who -paid the death penalty December 20. 1882, for attempting to assassinate Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. The Italian government is taking extraordinary measures to sup press anti-Austrian demonstrations in connection wth these meetings. When the triple alliance was formed, serious disturbances occurred in Italy on account of the disapproval of the tie between that country and Austria. This feeling: arose from Austria's pos Kcssion of Trieste and Trent, onre Italian territory. This culminated in tho attempt on the life of Francis Joseph by the young Triestine. Over dank, a deserter from the Austrian army and a student in an Italian uni versity. After his execution Overdank was proclaimed by his partisans as a martyr to the Italian cause. The antl-Austrlan feeling has found freer expression since the beginning of the war and the outspoken determina tion of a certain element to force the government . to join with the triple entente and fight Austria, for the prl aary purpose of acquiring the Italian The study of the subject of unemploy ment was continued in the meeting of the Civic League at its luncheon yes terday at the Multnomah Hotel. Charles James, an English social worker, was the speaker of the aay and gave an address on "Unemployment." Judge J. H. Stevenson, newly re-elected to the presidency, was in the chair. Whether the league should continue its policy of serving as a forum of dis cussion of public issues without taking a partisan stand, or whether it should take action after having considered any given subject from all points of view in which it might be presented, was discussed, also.
