il llK DISCUSSION OF ISSUES.
Two notable articles have appeared
in the Oklahoma press in the last week.
One by Virgil Hobbs is a compilation
of all the possible and imaginary ar-
guments against the Initiative and Re-
ferendum. In fact Mr. Hobbs seems
to be the chosen and appointed advo-
cate of the aristocratic element that
fears and distrusts the voice and vote
of the people. Mr. Hobbs is a lawyer
and makes a lawyers argument, He
intimates that with the Inititave ami
Referendum our government wdl not
be republican in form, and for that
reason may not be accepted by the
president and congress. In answer
to this, notice may as well be taken
right now, that if the Initiative and Re-
ferendum is not incorporated in the
constitution that instrument wii.i. HK
REJECTED HY THE l'KOPI.E.
As to the exact and technical mean-
ing of the word republican, authorities
differ; but generally the meaningof the
word covers all forms from the pure
democracies of ancient Greece to the
elective aristocracies like \ enice, and
even the elective Monarchy of Hunga-
ry has been claimed to be republican
in form
We will be admitted with all the
rights of every other state. Every
constitutional right and privelege en-
joyed by the people of any other state
may be enjoyed by the people of Okla-
homa. Oregon anil several other states
have this principle engrafted in
their present costitutions and any re-
fusal of the central government to ad-
mit Oklahoma, by reason of a Referen-
dum constitution would render null
and void the constitutions of those
other states; a proposition too absurd
to consider.
In fact the suggestion is itself a bug-
a-boo. Not a person really supposes
for a moment that we will he rejected
for this reason.
Mr. Hobbs quotes copiously from
tlie "Fathers, that is from the Federa-
list and lawyer like, quotes such
authority as suits his side of the case,
l'rehaps Mr. Hobbs and others may
not have noted the fact thst the world
has traveled along the path of human
histoty and experience more than a
hundred years, sice the Federalist
was written. It is a meleaucholy fact
that there was yet lodged in the minds
of the Federalist writers some frag-
ments of the timid maxims of aristocr-
atic times and middle age history.
We are building a structure using the
experience of all the centuries includ-
ing the eventful ninteenth, and the
burning living present.
Mr. llobbs repeats the hysteric song
and dance of Rollin. Gibbon and all
the Royalist and aristocratic historians
of ancient Europe, the terrible and
intemperate "doius' of the factions in
democracies. In the ancient Greek
cities, governed by mass meetings,
where the people voted by dropping
beans into a jug. The people may have
been led astray by demagogues, at least
historians say so,but that was likely the
opinion of the fellowa vv 'i > were trying
to pack the caucuses and run the snap
conventions the other way. Howevei
in modern times, the printed page
and the educated voter, there is not a
recorded instance where the people
have sanctioned an ill considered
hastv or unjust law by their votes.
Iu contrast to that, the whole long
and gloomy history of representative
made, aristocrat made and king made
laws is a history of lop sided justice,
legalized robbery, and a mechanism of
plunder from beginning to end. Mr.
Hobbs asks if the majority is to rule
what is to become of the interest of
the minority. The systematic and 1111
scrupulous plundering of the majority
by the influential and inside minority
is what we arc kicking about, and what
we propose to right by means of the
Initiative and Referendum.
This attorney cites as fearful exam-
ples of the dreadful dangers of demo
craey the Greek republic.-, the free
cities of Europe, The German Repub-
lic (which never existed) and others

Hut w need not go across the seas
to foreign lands to find the successful
and beneficent operation of this ex-
ample of civil government. The peo-
ple of Oregon have it in successful
operation, and it would be an insane
politician indeed who would even sug-
gest the doing away with it in that
state after they have tried it

must work to that end, and if the
machine politicians and aggregated in-
terest beat it in the convention, then
we must vote their constitution down
and try it again.
The other article referred to at the
beginning of this speil is by Judpe
Hurford. in which he takes the position
that there is danger of ,,too much cons-
titution"; that by the nature of things
all powers are with the people, and no
amount of words can enlarge their
power. This has been the position of
the Advance, and we hope for a consti-
tution that can be printed inside of
three newspaper coiuinns.
