The tall ferns grew green and

How could we ever have been so

The Education of the
V oter
THE RECALL _
Gives the People Power to Remove an Ineffi
cient Man From Office.
By THOMAS
r~r>HE recall is a special form of
| the initiative. The mechan
ism of this factor In our po
litical life Is very simple. In cer
tain cities a clause has been insert
ed in the charter permitting the
i ailing of a new election to fill an
office on petition of 25 per cent,
more or less, of the voters.
Its direct object is to give rhe
people the power jo remove an in
efficient man from office, if he has
misused or abused the privileges of
it. By the recall clause in its char
ter. Izw Angeles. Cal., has removed
a mayor from office.
It is no easy matter to determine
how far the power of recall is a
just instrument In rhe hands of the
people. Put there is no question
whatever as to Its safety, if the
people rise to the level of it Intelli
gently. The one great asset count
ed on b v political rings and bosses
is rhe supitieness of the people.
They count on the mas? not taking
hold, not taking intelligent interest
in polities. Anri this close analysis
has a point in this, that it leave.*
the rings anil bosses free to use
their power as. they like.
This Fact Escapes
The Average Man.
It is amazing that a fact so sim
ple and so plain to discover should
escape the average man. What does
he do when he is convinced that
rhe ring has so forced up things
about him that only a hand-to
mouth fight is possible?
He does nothing.
The powers know hr will do
nothing, and they sing the Halle
lujah Chorus quite often, for quite
often things conie their way with
no opposition.
Before the advent into our poli
tical vocabulary of Initiative. Ref
erendum. PreferentiqJ Primary. Re
call and the like the average votgr
was about as safe as a man with
one foot in the grave and the other
on a banana neel. Rut these new
words, and all the ideas for which
they stand, are not fixed condi
tions; they are open doorways by
which you can go out into the
field and exercise new powers.
It must hr remembered that the
Initiative is just as apt to Inspire
a had man as a good one. It is all
a question of which can get the re
quired number of signatures to his
petition and the majority of votes
at the election which his petition
calls for.
People Must Watch Over
This New Privilege.
Hence the people with the new
' power and privilege are very much
like a body of owners of valuable
physical property. They have to
watch it. cover It with high insur
ance. and have an eye on It night
and day. [The bosses, eager to In-

fluence political conditions, have
for years bent their energies to
that end. That is one form of In
itiative. Hitherto when a vicious
man has been put in office, he has
usually remained there until his
term expired; hut the instance of
T.os Angeles, quoted above, shows
how such a case may be dealt w/h
once it comes to popular notice.
But Is the Recall a necessary in
strument to place in the hands of
the people? if you read only th®
daily papers you will be convinced
that as good men heartily- con
demn it as others, equally good,
defend It. It Is pointed out that
when the mob takes the Initiative
to hang a man instead of leaving
his case in the hands of law- and
th® courts. If proves that public
opinion can be influenced to per
form irresponsible deeds.
But. happily, there lies In th® In
itiative a very great power. That
power is the nomination to office of
a man WHO WILL NEVER NEED

od should be provided for the r<t
moval from office of an unfit pet
