OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY
bles; that this same representative
government will still be favored
with an optional Referendum. This,
therefore, will never give to the
people of this great nation full,
direct legislation, nor the same priv
ileges given by the compulsory or
obligatory Referendum. This latter
is pure democracy, which is the aim
of a real republican form of govern

their ballots, is the highest law and

It ca 1 be f isily seen that with direct
legislation through the Initiative
ad ol hgatory Referendum, the
people become sovereign. Those
who have been their representatives
before become now their servants.
In fact, they are no longer repre
sentatives, but councilors. They
have no right to pass n law. It is
then the people that pass the law.
All that they cun do then is to pro
pose a law to the voting citizens at
the ballot-box for approval or rejec
tion. Now, anybody can see that
the chance to bribe, to force or to
frighten the people’s representatives
by a political boss, monopolist, or
whomsoever it may be, has become
impossible; because the people will
have no more representatives, nor
masters, but will manage their own
affairs, keep their grand council and
executive council ns their servants
and will closely watch their doings.
There will be no more work in the
dark. All the laws and measures
proposed to the citizens will then
have to be printed and sent to them.

by personal observation, that a good

Everybody knows that we have
arrived at the climax of expectation;
that the roads are about to part, one

little. Everybody knows what magnificent papers tho “ Examiner” and

Womankind is a most attractive and entertaining home monthly, heartily
welcomed by and instructive to tho mothers and dniightera; and the
Farm News’ is edited by a staff of experienced agricultural writers, is
handsomely printed, nnd contains what the praetical fnrmor wants.
Word and Works is Rev. Irl Hicks’ paper of St. LouiH. This is a scien

with the paper, contains 100 pages of forecasts aud otlier useful infor
mation and is a valuable hook.

it is only necessary to say that it is Senator Stewart’s fearless paper, and
is published in Washington City. Our Nation’s Crisis is best advertisod
by saying that it is owned and edited by Gov. Waite, Colorado’s great
Populist governor, the War-horse of the Rockies.
It is good reading.
The Rural Northwest is an Oregon farm journal, and is clean and well
managed. It will be worth the price we charge for both impels to any
