CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
o
NLY BY FOLLOWING OUT. the instructions that are given to
their representatives by an expression at the polls, can the people of
this city or this state expect to rule their own government. The ma
jority vote on any proposition is the expression of the people. The only way
that the representatives of the people can determine the wish of the masses
upon any question that is to be determined is by the expression at the polls.
It is therefore to be expected that the decision of the voters when once
given will be taken as final by the representatives when the issue is presented,
either in council chamber or in the halls of the legislature of the state' or of
the national congress. To vote on matters that are of general interest and
upon which the people have once expressed themselves in any other way is
but to th- tvart the. will of the voters and to stand in the way of what the
majority wants.
The government of the United States is majority government. The
majority vote on all issues, whether they be municipal, county, state or na
tional, is the final determination of public questions. Whether the repre
sentatives of the people want those matters determined in the wTay that the
voters have seen best to determine it, is a matter of no consequence. Whether
the people are wrong in what they decide is best for them is another
question beside the issue.

jl lie uiu luca uiai ocnaiur aicyuuiii, ui luanu, uscu iu nave aim which 11c
maintained through his career in the senate of the United States was that
he .was sent to the senate to represent his people as his wisdom and judgment
directed. He was one of the old school of American statesman, a man with
a wide range of education and experience, with a great insight into human
nature and a wisdom in all things political but he was not a representative
of his state.
The people generally have outgrown that old idea. They now demand
of their legislators a responsiveness to the popular pill. The man who does
not represent the popular will and does not stand for those things for which
the people, at an election, have instructed him to support usually does not
long last in the councils of his party in the political affairs of his people.
Day by day the government of the United States is becoming more re
sponsive to popular will. It is becoming more plastic, more adaptable to the
common expression of desire. It has come to such a point that the people
express their preferance on many of the matters of national policy that be
fore were left to a small group of legislators in the national or state's
capitals. ?
' Oregon has lead in this movement. Its popular form of government has
lead the state to take a front rank in making its legislators more responsive
to the popular demand and more ready to meet issues as the people would
have them meet those questions. At the same time, errors will creep in as
long as there are republic forms of government for the people will make
mistakes.
It is no more probably, however, that the ereneral masses will make anv
more mistakes than the government by the few, for the few that we have had
for.many years and that the popular indignation has at last, to a large extent,

. CROWDING OF VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLES INTO
SMALL AREAS WAS NEVER REQUIRED. It was not asked
of us to deprive people of God's sunlight and air, which is in the breath
of life.
There will be a terrible reckoning for our overrated industrialism and
trade when they will be asked to answer for the terrible blight they have
imposed on the lives of the peoples who have WITHERED AWAY IN
THE HORRIBLE DENS OF OUR CITIES. They will be asked to
explain the cramped, sordid lives they have enforced, on those who did
their bidding. They will be required to atone for the stunted limbs, the
paled cheeks, the prematurely aged and blasted lives and hopes of mil
lions of God's creatures.

overthrown.
It. is well that the people have undertaken to run their own government.
It is well, too, when the public representatives give heed to this popular ex
pression at the polls and follow out the line of policy that the majority of
the people determine is for the best interests of the whole community.
O -
EXICO HAS BECOME a land of barbarism and murder. The
M
report that eleven men have been murdered by the rebels came over
the wires from the front yesterday. If the federals do not have a
hand in murders of this kind and Mexico is relegated to the inside pages of
the newspapers for a few days, the rebels become indignant and start a mass
acre of their own.
Torn asunder by constant strife, ravaged by factions and destroyed by
plunder and pillage, the republic to the south of these United States is in
a condition more pitiful than was Cuba when the njerciless dictator of Spain j
killed and starved the population of that little island. In that instance, the !
government of the. United States sought to raise the blood-stained hand of J
the usurper and succeeded in freeing that people from the iron rule of the
dictator. -
If the Huerta "government" is not able to cope with the situation there,
all of the diplomacy at the white house will not remedy matters. It is time I
that some more drastic step were taken and that the announced policy of the J
president be put into effect and the people of the United States take a hand j
in the problems to the south.- In more ways than one, the United States is
interested in the outcome of the troubles there. It has citizens whose lives
are daily endangered by the lack of law and order and by the rifle bullets of
the contending forces as they march over the country seeking whom they
may destroy. The country has been torn so long that there seems to be lit
tle hope of ever again maintaining the peace that lasted with the Diaz admin
istration. Though he held the people in bondage under a dictator's rule, he
at least, had peace and quiet through his empire and the country was not con
tinually in a state of turmoil between warring factions.
Even peace at any cost is something to be considered by a country that
has been rent by strife as long as has Mexico. If the government of Huerta
is not capable of dealing with the situation as it has arisen there, it is time
that the people and government of the republic to the north took a hand in
the game and settled the disputes there for a few days, at least.
From the conditions as they have appeared in the press dispatchs of the
past few weeks, Huerta is not able to cope with the problems. He lias failed
to maintain order. He has not conquered the rebellious states to the north
and has never succeeded in downing the opposition that has developed to
him in all parts of the country.
It is a matter that is of interest to the United States and one that some
definite action will have to be taken in at once.

SOCIAL LIFE ON THE ZONE
THE VARIOUS WOMEN'S CLUBS AND THE Y. M. C. A. DIVERT THE
TEDIUM OF TROPICAL DAYS
By WILLIS J. ABBOT, Author of "Panama and the Canal in Picture and
Prose"
Copyright, 1913, Syndicate Publishing
Co., New York. All rights reserved.
Social life on the Zone is rather
complex. At the apex, of course, are
the commissioners and their families.
The presence of an Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of
the United States in Panama City adds
aonther factor to the always vexed
question of precedence, while the
maintenance of a military post with
a full regiment, and a marine camp
with a battalion does not help to sim
plify matters. Social affiliations
among those not in the Commission
or the Army are based with primitive
simplicity upon the amount of the hus
band's earning. One advantage of
this system is that it is based upon
perfectly accurate information, for ev
erybody on the Zone works for the
Commission and the payrolls are peri
odlcaly published. But it jars the in
genious outside to have a woman, ap
parently without a trace of snobbery,
remark casually to another, "Well, we
don't see much of her. Her husband
is in the $2,000 class, you know."
Social life is further complicated by
the fact that the people of the Zone
came from all parts of' the ..United
States, with a few from Europe, They
have no common home asoeiations.
When the settlement of the Zone first
began the women were dismally, lone
ly, and the Commission called in a
professional organizer of women's
clubs to get them together. Clubs are
organized from Ancon to Cristobal
and federated with Mrs. Goethals for
President and Mrs. Gorgas for Vice
president. Culebra entertained Gor
gona with tea and Tplstoe, and Em
pire challenged Corozal to an inter
change of views on eugenics over the
coffee cups and wafers. In a recent
number of The Canal Record, the of
ficial paper of the Zone, I find nearly
a page given over to an account of
the activitie sof the women's societies
and church work. " It appears that
there were in April, 1913, twenty-five
societies of various sorts existing
among the women on the-Zone. The
Canal Zone Federation of Women's
Clubs had five subsidiary clubs, with
a membership of fifty-eight. There
were twelve church organizations,
with a membership of 239. Nearly
290 women were enrolled in auxiliar
ies to men's organizations. But these
organizations were rapidly breaking
up even then, and the completion of
the Canal will witness their general
disintegration. They served their
purpose. Only a mind that could mix
the ideal with the practical could have
foreseen that discussions of the, Ba
conian Cipher, or the philisopby of
Nietzsche might have a bearing on the
job of digging a canal, but whoever
conceived the idea was right.
The same clear foresight that led
the Commission to encourage the es
tablishment of women's clubs caused
the installation of the Y.-M. C. A. on
the Isthmus, where it has become "per
haps the dominating social force. With
a host of young bachelors employed
far away from home there was need
of social meeting places other than
the saloons of Panama and Colon, and
the less attractive drinking places per
mitted on the Zone as a concession to
the foreign element among the work
ers. Many schemes were suggested
before it was determined to turn over
the whole organization of social clubs
to the governing body of. the Y. M. C.
A. Two criticisms are heard of this
action. One is the broad general ob
jection to committing the function of
entertainment to a purely religious
organization a sort of union of
church and State, so to speak. Tbe
other is that the code of the "organ
ization is against Sunday sports, so
that on this one holiday the worker is
prohibited from playing games in his
club. . There were at the period of the
greatest activity on the Zone seven
Y. M. C. A. clubs, located at Cristobal,
Gatun Porto Bello, , Gprgona,, Empire,
Culebra and Corozal. . The buildings
also are used for moving picture
shows,' concerts and lectures. The
Superintendent of Club Houses, Mr. A.
B Dickson, acts as a sort of impres
sario, but the task of filling dates with
desirable attractions is rather a com
plicated one 2,000 miles away from
the lyceum bureaus of New York.
The service of the Y. M. C. A. is
not gratuitous. Members pay an an
nual fee of $10 each. This, however,
does not wholly meet the cost of
maintenance and te deficit is taken
care of by the Commision, which built
the club houses at the outset. That
the service of the organization is use
ful is shown by the fact that Col.
Goethals has recommended the erec
tion of a concrete club house to cost
$52,500, in the permanent town of
Balboa.
are spacious, and, as shown by the
illustration, of pleasing architectural
reading-room and library, pool and
style. On the first floor are a lobby,
billiard room, bowling alley, a business-like
bar which serves only soft
drinks, a quick lunch counter, and in
some case a barber shop and baths.
On the second floor is always a large
assembly-room used for entertain
ments and dances. This matter of
dancing was at first embarrassing to
the Y. M. C. A., for at home this or
ganization does not waltz, and I am
quite sure frowns disencourage
dreamy mazes of the approvingly on
the swaying tango and the terrible
turkey trot. But conditions on the
Isthmus were different, and though the
organization does not itself ' give
dances, it permits the use of its halls
by other clubs which do. The halls
Murder In Germany.
Germany distinguishes between two
iin&s of murder. One, premeditated
and intentional, is punishable by death;
the second, intentional homicide with
out deliberation, is punishable by penal
servitude for from five to fifteen years.
Dueling in Germany is a misdemeanor
of a special kind. Who kills his oppo
nent in a duel is not charged with
murder or manslaughter, but with
dueling, the punishment for which is
detention in a fortress for fifteen years.
