facetious comment on the propo-w-d aj.
r-lication of th" ref "rend urn to d'-cis
ion of the courts. An editorial of th"
New York Snu is quoted therein und";
headlines of apparent disapproval, bi;
the frual ..f the Or-gonian i-ad-r
coiivinees one that it- editor share th
-on virt ion of the Sun writer on th
Htibjeet. It is jferf.-ct!y dear, of coure
that Attorney W. W. Calkins' achenv
for the call of the referendum on de
, risions of the courts was merely bad in
age jnten-ll to 4is-relit the initiative
and refer-ndum generally, and the t.
uii(n thereof by plutocratic newspa-;-r
maintains the arne spirit. Hidi
cule in frequently more ftent than rea
on, and it in tiianif--Tly ridiculous to
the writer tnat the p.-o;de could in
t"IMgent!y pas on the finding of fact
and conclusion of law involved in a
law suit. And if the initiative and
referendum are not broad enough to
comprehend our three branch-- of gov
ernmeiit, the inference intend-d is that
no part of it can be regulated therebv.
Recall a Right Step.
" Hiit nhall reason on such an impor
tant matter le supplanted by ridicule'
The drn-tor cannot cure eve.IybKlv,
therefore abolish doctors and medicine.
If the enemy's army cannot be gur-roumb-d
and caftttirM in the first bat
tie. hoist th white flag and surrender.
The peole are unable to reform th"
world in a day. then why not unhors'
them and r-eat th- olitieal bosses in
the addtei? Ah well argue that be
caue a tierfeet civilization ha no?

he In cont rolbd p.di
imous deeision like that recently ren
dered by the Ca 1 i f o rn i a eo u rt in the
Schmitz ease. Nor is it necessary to get
outside of Oregon for comparisons.
Too much superstitious reverence at
tache to the cap and gown and the
title of judge. We haven 't entirely
outgrown ancestral effeet of fomp
and pageantry for the antique and de
funct carmine, although it exudes an
unpleasant aroma. Too bad Thaekeray
did not write vewes applicable to judges
like the following snapshot he gave the
clergy:
"If I were a cassowary on the plains
of Timbuetoo, j
I would eat a missionary, hat and g-.wn ;
and bymnbook, too." j
The time will come when the people :
will annul corrupt decisions of the
courts, and it may require the referen-
lum to accomplish it. In the meantime.
the initiative and referendum are come
to stay in spite of any ridicule that i
may be h-an-d upon them, for now as
f yore. "The laughter of fools sound
like the crackling of thorns under a
pot.' W. K. I'HIHF.S."
