In brief, Oregon is maligned as the fool because of the adoption of the direct primary and the initiative and refer endum, because Oregon has led the way in popular gov ernment and direct legislation. The people of Oregon have tfyo right to initiate and make laws outside the legislature. Whon tho legislators ignore the wishes of their constituencies, and refuse, cither from corporate control, partisanship, corruption, prejudice or other reasons, to mako needed laws, tho people can nntiato and pass the laws themselves. Therefore, because the peo ple can do this. Oregon is tho "Fool of the Family." When legislatures, from any cause, pass an objection able law, the people can invoke tho referendum, and the measure does not become a law until approved by the ma- " -.. ..it ... jority of the next general election. Because the people arc , 'IVZ'otSSZ Fool ot the 1u!iUh1 wo two." "otrro rlKht." tho man mused. "Say, a married man must haw to play eloso to tho bases.

Our American word "car-1 rynlr for n kind of vehicle Is not n compound of "carry" and "all." but a slight distortion of the French "carri ole." a diminutive car. The change was made In obedience to the uni versal tendency to assimilate the nn known to the known, to make words mean something by associating them with others which they resemble Ii sound. Often there Is no etymoloRlcal relation between the words associated, as when sparrowgrass Is mnde out of aspuruRiis.

T 1 NDER the caption "Tell Roosevelt," Collier's Weekly devotes a page each issue in an appeal to readers to write direct to Theodore Roosevelt, telling him their per sonal opinion on political issues, so-thathe can "learn" the popular desires of the peoi)le. A list of questions to be checked off, follows : This is hero worship run mad. When the people of a re public begin to look to any individual to remedy political ills, and to shift the burdens of the multitude upon the shoulders of any one person, it is an ominous sign for de mocracy. Xo matter what his ability is or what honors have been heaped upon him, Theodore Roosevelt is today but a pri vate citizen of the republic. He possesses no magic touch to right wrongs, no wizard power to tranmute evil into good, no sorcery to heal the politically sick or make the legislative blind see. Moreover, like the rest of us, he him self sees through a glass darkly. Why should we go to Roosevelt with our troubles ? Does he share with Omnipotence the throne on high? Why should we tell him our desires? Is he the shepherd of the flock, the benevolent little father of the people, who has but to press the button?

Is Amer ica going the way of Rome, that we appeal to Roosevelt as the Romans appealed to Caesar? No ! Common sense, rather than emotionalism, still rules the republic. The people are gradually bettering their con dition, their institutions and their government. The Roose velt worship is atavism, and atavism is the exception, not the law, of evolution. It is not to be feared, so much as marveled at, in this year of our Lord 1910, at a time when we are preparing to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of modern democracy. ed the oldest sister of the Invalid, who hud borne with his vagaries patiently for years "I know how you feel, with Thanks, giving coming on, and all," tmld the doctor, peering at her from under his shaggy eyebrows, "but It's too soon to tell.
