There is a certain order oi minds that

In the inevitable discussion ii.■ ide.o
ti) the formation of a state constitntic>.
the voice of thesi iiactou.uies is heiud
;.s a meloneholy under tone calling out
that we want no "freaks," dreamers, or
visionaries "in our convention' ami
querulously complaining that there
is too much agitation and too many
Ideas advanced c< u erning the con
stitufion, and winding uj with the
stereotyped last despairing cry of tin
terrified conservative out of an argu-
ment that the proposed improvement
is "unconstitutional.
What we want in the convention is
visionaries, men with v ision enough to
see an inch beyond their nose, and if
all visionaries are excluded the vyor'.:
of the convention will be v.orth less
than the paper it is printed on. Apd H
aiy man has an idea that he thinks
ought to be in the constitution it is his
duty to talk it and not only th.it but to
climb np on top of ttie house i nd yell
it so that all may hear whether they
will or not.
There it; nothing unconstitutional.
We are now making the constitution
All that is required is that our const!
lntion shall be republican iu form. It
has not been propyls'1 to set up a men
archy or an aristocrat; . :i fa>\ most
of the improvements suggested tend
to make our state government more
republican in form than any th-it have
Ik'Oii instituted before.
Then let us proceed without fear i.n l

the selecting of the people to sit in
high places and have dominion over us.
The time will come when vvc will have

Actual Free self government bjr the

bv tliosc nations and . tates that have
adopt'-d the Initiati- and Referen-
dum. Ancient Athens and modern
Switzerland and the New Kiigland

bopti - .1 emasculated by ioss of auothor-
ty as to lose their democratic t haracter.

Public servants and functionaries

in iact there is a -trong theoretical ar-
gument iu favor .if an hereditary arris-
tocracy as there is the additional mo-
tive of the pride of ancestry and decent
to keep official life clean. It has not
been very effective in practice but the
theory is there all the same.
The right of the people to choose
their rulers is not the attainment of
civil liberty or the rule of the people;
niinors.hmaties and imbceil are often
permitted to'chousc their guardains.
