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.

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.

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.
SATISFY THE FEOFLB T H A T M UN ICIPAL GOVERNMENT IS IN
E FFIC IE N T -AND "JpiSHONEST, AND T H A T IT IS T H E WORST BLOT

E. Lipton, of Falls city, has made
arrangements to plant 100,000 east
ern trout in tributaries of the Lnck-

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

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.

I do not believe that political liberty can be summed up in any
items regarding individual privileges. 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.
