Constitutional government can be maintained only in such a wny as to bring planning and action of the lawmakers under the influence of the opinion of the nation. Two things are necessary to maintain liberty. One is that government shall bo governed by public opinion and the other that the individual shall be kept free from the corrup tion of government. General welfare cannot be conceived exoept in terms of FREEDOM OF THE IN D IV ID U A L . We now oomplain if congress spends too much time in debate. Historically the chief business of a representative body was to talk, while the executive department used to make the laws. The chief business of parliament was to criticise the acts of tho executives. e To day the representative body has as its chief business the formation of laws. The chief ohjection-to this system is that the R EPR ESEN TA TIV E body does not have tho C A R R Y IN G OUT of the laws. WWW A characteristic of English and American constitutional govern ment is that the individual looks after himself. The oourts are what enable the individual to do thia. f ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC OF CO NSTITUTIONAL GOVERN M ENT I I T H A T THERE I I IN IT A MORE OR L S I!

T would be a difficult teak to imagine a more perfect form of government than that of the New England town meeting, which had ABSOLUTE CONTROL of the public affairs of the township. This form of government was founded on two conception«, n local interest and tho idea that the people who pay the taxis sh'-:i!d > v :...J »ay FOR WTTAT they are expended. Local self government has been almost invaluable in New England because the interests of the IN D IV ID U A L were represented in the town meeting. ‘ When city governments were first instituted they copied the na tional g >v.»rn:’« nt Now the city has really NO RESEMBLANCE to the organization of the nation. Under the strpss of its terrible disaster Galveston has procured just the kind of government for which we ere longing— the GOVERN- M.EN I Or COMMISSIONS end commissioners. The commission system has hud a most striking success in Galveston, end the method has appealed to the people. Romo maintain that the commission system is not democratic enough f >r tho American taste. If this is eo, the referendum and the initiative, two methods which have had wonderful success in Switzer land, arc entirely adequate to express the popular will in any question of municipal government, end W OULD SUCCEED HERE just as they have succeeded in Switzerland. We have more secret management than any other free govern ment, but public opinion has a tremendous force, if the facta can be set before it.

Lipton, of Falls city, has made arrangements to plant 100,000 east ern trout in tributaries of the Lnck- iamute,thus replenishing the waters of that once famous Oregon trout stream with a stock of gamey fish. Forty eight years ago a deaf and dumb man, celebrated for his pisca torial exploits, kept the settlements supplied with fresh trout, and the unvarying reply as to where they come from! was that the lucky mote brought them. This univer sal answer finally evolved the name Lnckynmte, for the mountain river, afterwards corrupted by Craig, in The Argus office at Oregon city. Aaahel Bash had extolled Lucky- mate in an editorial, bat the copy was so much more than usually blindly written that week, that the typo couldn’t make it out and Craig gnesned it off as Luckianmte which orthography ‘slock’ and the corrupt spelling has since stood that way.

Generation differs from gener ation in respect to this and in its adjustment of institutions to govern ment. True political liberty at any time is that whioh offers the BEST POSSIBLE AD JU STM EN T OF GOVERNM ENT TO THE IN D IV ID U A L . It is a mistaken conception that liberty is the removal of restraints from the individual. We say that a piston rod works free when it moves with the least possible friction. In the same way what we want in political liberty is PERFECT ADJUSTM ENT of the parts. If liberty is the object of constitutional government, con stitutional government may be defined as a perfect adjustment bi- tween the governors and the governed. LIE.
