PORTLAND OREGON.IAN is stilt displaying
patriotism by publishing long screeds proclaim
ing Oregon as "the fool of tho family" among the sister
hood of states.
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

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 Teddy our new Billiken. god

growing weary of government, becoming too lazy to exer

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.
