with him. Why? Because he be- 
lieved in the rule of the people. He 
_had brought the erring states back to 
their allegiance. 
Since the close of the War and the 
death of the Great Leader, the poli- 
ticians of both great parties have ex- 
ploited the rights of the people under 
a system of Representative Govern- 
ment which represents, not the peo- 
ple, but the money changers. They 
fought in the light and hugged in the 
dark. That force that had prosecuted 
the War and saved the Union seemed 
to perish with the great Leader. The 
cohorts of Mammon took its place, 
and both parties see-sawed for su- 
premacy. A mushroom. growth in- 
fested the land; a mad haste to be 
rich took possession of the souls of 
men. Men forgot that men were 
brothers; the rich taxed the poor ; em- 
ployers trampled on the rights of Ja- 
bor; competition crowded the weaker 
to the wall, until monopoly, protected 
by representative laws, robbed the in- 
dividual of his heritage of freedom, 
and the people of their guaranty of 
tights. 
Public utilities were seized and con- 
verted to private uses, the waterways 
and the public domain squandered 
until the price of living has gone al- 
most beyond human reach. Indeed, 
it is time to stop and think, and to act; 
to rise above the misrepresentatious 
of the general press. Let us read both 
sides; ponder all things and demand 
the right. 
There is but one great right, and 
that is the right of all and this right 
finds expression in the Initiative and 
Referendum and the Recall. Both the 
old parties stand aghast at the thought 
of the people meddling with such dan- 
gerous weapons; does not their very 
opposition prove the urgent need of 
these reforms? Study their meaning, 
and you will find their essence is, Gov- 
ernment by the people, of the people, 
and for the people, an essence that 
has ben fifty years crystallizing into 
action, since those words were uttered 
by the immortal Lincoln on the field 
at Gettysburg, where lay our patriot 
dead.

The bread, 
So all were fed. 
The little grew 
With ample food 
And bade the multitude partake. 
To meet occasion due. 
The hungry crowd supplied, 
Till all were satisfied. 
Moreover, 
Much left over. 
God is a bounteous giver, 
His mercies like the river, 
Evermore on going, 
Unspent by flowing.
