How did we ever get along with- out direct legislation? The octopi must ask that question every day: the Cali- fornia octopi at any rate. In the east the predatory rich, the soulless cor- porations, and enemies of the plain pecple generally have not yet been | emancipated; direct legislation has not vet struck off their shackles; they can only look westward and cheer up. But in California and the other di- rect legislation states the halcyon days have come for the octopi. The sun shines bright in their old Califor- nia home, the birds make music all the day, the coin crop is ripe, and the graft is in full bloom in their Califor- nia home so far away. All the things that couldn’'t be done under the old system without causing a riot are now done easily—not by violence, but by letting the plain people do them. All you have to do is to submit forty or fifty amendments to the people and insert a joker or two somewhere about half way down the line. The honest voter's eyve grows weary after he has rerused the first half dozen amend- ments, and if they seem all right he takes the rest on trust. In this way £0 much can be done that we wonder at the moderation of the robber barons and the criminal rich. No bribing of legislators any more, no anxious days at the state capitol, no scrutinizing of the expense accounts of lobbyists who ve been giving dinners to senators who never existed; let the honest voter do it all. The honest voter in California 1s just discovering, to his amazement, that in the mass of amendments he was called upon to deal with at the last election was one which vacated all the oidinances of San Franciseo and other cnies fixing rates for any kind of pubiiz service. This abolish« all the regulations restraining the ap- petite of the taxicab companies and other public malefactors. Henceforth they can charge what they please. If they had asked a legislature to give them any such grant of revenue there would have been a revolution at the very least; but the plain people have given it to them and are estopped from complaining. The honest voter cannot even say he did not mean to do it, because there is in the best of us a human reluctance about looking foolish. ‘What the honest voter thought he was doing was to give the railroad commission the right to fix rates, but the artful language of the amendment decelved him. He also passed an amendment which he was told would “simplify city government,” It did. He now finds that what the amend- | ment really effected was to prevent | the people of San Francisco from ob- taining an amendment of their city charter next year by initative petition. | City government has been simplified to the extent that the honest voter | will not be permitted to complicate it ! by any reforms. The opponents of re- form would never have had the heav- | en-defying audacity to ask any leg- islature to pass such a law, but the | honest voter, reading amendments | until atrophy the optic nerve set in, slipped easily over the jokef. | T.et us, by all means, have direct les- slation in the cast as soon as possi- Under our effete system the horny-handled toiler, the honest voter, | the htimble proletariat, and the man | in the street still remain possessors in fee simple of their clothes and ! their watches. Let us introduce direct legislation and they will go home in a barrel. QUARANTINE TEXAS. For Worth, Tex.

Merrill, manager of a drug store in | an exclusive section of this town, was shot dead last night during a robbery of the store by two roughly dressed men. Flourishing their threats of further shooting, the strangers leisurely rifled the cash register and then walking out of the | door, disappeared. The police of Boston and Cambridge united with those in Brookline in attempting to | run down the two gunmen. According to the clerks when the two men entered the store, no custo- mers were present. While one of them covered the clerks, the other pointed a revolver at Merrill's head and ordered him to throw up his hands. Merrill, the clerks told the police, asked: “Is this a joke?” The men then fired and Merrill sank to the floor dead with a bullet through his chest. The robbers obtained only a small amount of money. Merrill was near the safe, which contained the week’s receipts and kicked the door shut when he saw the revolvefs.
