It is a small minority that lies behind monopolies and trusts. It is a small minority that stands behind the pres ent lav of master and servant, the sweat-shops, and the whole calendar of social and industrial injustice. It Is a small minority that is today using our convention system to defeat the will of a majority of the people in the choice of delegates to the Chicago con vention. The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities. "No sane man who has been familiar with the government of this country for the last twenty years will complain that we have had too much of the rule of the majority. The trouble has been a far different one that, at many times and in many localities, there have held public office In the states and in the nation men who have, in fact, served not the whole people but some special class or special interest. I am not thinking only of these special interests which by grosser methods. HAVE YOU READ IT? The Adler-i-ka book, telling how you can EASILY guard against ap pendicitis and get INSTANT relief from constipation or gas on the stom ach, is being- read with much interest by Pensacola people. It it given away free by J. Sheppard, druggist, 405 S. Palafox St, rPALATOX by bribery and crime, have stolen from the people. I am thinking as much of their respectable allies and figureheads who have ruled and legislated and de cided as if in some way the vested rights of privilege had a first mortgage on the whole United States, while the rights of all the people were merely an unsecured debt. "To further the rule of the majority," continued the speaker, "the progress ives of the Republican party in cer tain states have formulated certain proposals for change in the form of the state government certain 'checks and balances' which may check and balance the special interests and their allies. INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM. "First, there are the Initiative and referendum,' which are so framed that If the legislatures obey the command of some special interest, and obstinate ly refuse the will of the majority, the majority may step la and legislate di rectly. "Then there ra the direct primary the real one, not the New York one and that, too, the progressives offer as a check on the special Interest. Most clearly of all does it seem to me that this change -is wholly good for every state. The direct prl mary, if accompanied by a Btringent corrupt practices act, will help break up corrupt partnership of corporations and politicians. A RECAPITULATION. "So that no man may misunderstand me, let me recapitulate: "1. I am not proposing anything in connection with the supremo court of the United States, or with the federal constitution. "2. I am not proposing anything having any connection with ordinary suits, civil or criminal, as between In dividuals. "8. I am not speaking of the recall of Judges. V4. I ara proposing merely that In a certain class of cases involving the police power, when a state court his set aside as unconstitutional a law passed by the legislature for the gen eral welfare, the question of the valid ity of the law which should depend. as Justice Holmes so well phrases It, upon the prevailing morality or pre ponderant opinion be submitted for final determination to a vote of the people, taken after due time for con sideration. "The president of the United State, Mr. Taft, devoted, most of a rcut speech to criticism of this proposition. He says that it is utterly without merit or utility, and, instead of feeing In the interest of all the peo ple, and of the stability of populav government, is sowing the seeds cf confusion and tyranny.' (By thl h of course means the tyranny of the majority, that la, the tyranny of the American people as a whole.) He also says that my proposal (which, as he rightly sees, is merely a proposal to give the people a real. Instead of only a nominal, chance to consume and amend a state constitution with rea sonable rapidity) would make such amendment and interpretation 'depend on the feverish, uncertain and unstable determination of successive votes on different laws by temporary and changing majorities r and that 'it leys the axe at the foot of the tree of well ordered freedom,' and subjects the guarantees of life, liberty, and prop erty without remedy to the fitful im pulse of a temporary majority of an CRITICISM IS UNFOUNDED. "This criticism is really less a criti cism of my proposal than a criticism of all popular government. It is wholly unfounded on the belief that the peo ple are fundamentally untrustworthy. If the supreme court s definition of due process in relation to the police power Is sound, then an act of the legislature to promote the collective Interests of the community must be valid. If it em bodies a policy held by the prevailing morality or a preponderant opinion to be necessary to the public welfare. This is the question that I propose 10 submit to the people. How can the prevailing morality or a preponderant opinion be better and more exactly ascertained than by a vote of the peo- Plft" HITS TAFT A BLOW. "Mr. Taft fairly defines the Issue when he says that our government is and should be a government of all the people by a representative part of the people. This is an excellent and mod erate description of an oligarchy. It defines our government as a govern ment of all of the people by a few of the peor'e." Mr. Taft, said Col. Roosevelt, de- GOVERNMENT BUILDS RAILROAD OF TS ' OWN IN CONSTRUCTION OF GREAT DAM The only government-owned and operated railroad in the United States -is twenty-two miles long, and extends from Boise, Idaho, to ArroWrock. the site of the highest dam in the world. Hundreds of thousands of tons o material, and more than a thousand workmen and their families, will be hauled over it. o la red that the Judiciary ought not to be "representative" of the people in the sense that the legislature and the executive are. "This." CoL Roosevelt asserted, "is perfectly true of the Judge when he Is performing merely the or dinary functions of a Judge in suits between man and man. It is not true of the Judge engaged in interpreting, for instance, the due process clause where the judge is ascertaining the preponderant opinion of the people (as Judge Holmes states it.) When he exercises that function he has no right to let his political philosophy reverse and thwart the will of the majority. "Mr. Taft again and again, in quo tations I have given and elsewhere through his speech expresses his dis belief In the people when they vote r.t the polls. In one sentence he says that the proposition gives "powerful effect to the momentary impulse of a majority of an electorate and prepares the way for the possible exercise of the grossest tyranny.' Elsewhere he speaks of the feverish uncertainty' and 'unstable determination' of laws by 'temporary and changing majori ties.' and again he- says that the sys- MOTHERHOOD SUGGESTIONS Advice to Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch In their lives. Not one 'woman in a hundred is prepared or co ders tan &a how to properly care for her self. Of coarse nearly every woman nowadays has f medical treatment at each tinea, but many approach the experience with an org-asiam unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it Is over her syBtem has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Fol lowing right upon this comes the ner voas strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beanty. The nnexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an un prepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist In going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time shonld rely rcpon Lydia KPinkham's Vegetable Com pound, a most valuable tonic and lnvig orator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held In strict confidence lem I propose "would result in suspen sion or application of constitutional guarantee according to popular whim' wlilch would destroy 'all possible con sistency in constitutional interpreta tion. I should much like to know the exact distinction that Is to be made between what Mr. Taft calls 'the fitful Impulse of a temporary majority" when applied to a question such as that I raise and any other question. "Mr. Taft's position is perfectly clear. It is that have in thic country a special class of persons wiser than the people, who are above tie people, who cannot te reached by the people, but who gove.n them and ought to govern them, and who pro tect various classes of the people from the whole people." Colonel Roosevelt quoted the re marks of William Draper Liewis, dean of the law retool of the University of Pennsylvania, who approved tlx. Roosevelt plan of a popular recall c. Judicial d?clsions regarding conttiiu ttonal amendments, but declared It un fortunate fact the plan ' should hav.; been proposed Vy a man of such "marked characteristics" as Cui. Roosevelt, whote personality, he said, might cloud the lBsue. To this Col. Roosevelt replied: NOT LEADING A FIGHT. I can only say that I wish some body else wh(e suggestions would arouse Jess antconisra proposed U; but nobody else did propose it. and so I had to. I am not leading this fight as a matter of aesthetic pleasure. I am leading because eomebody must lead, or else the fight would not be made at all. "I prefer to work with moderate, with rational conservatives, provided only that they do In good faith stride forward towards the light. But when they halt and turn their bak to tht light, and sit with the secraers on th? seats of reaction, then I must part 4 company with them. We the people cannot turn back.

Special to The Journal. Tallahassee, March 20. The su preme court handed down a decision this morning reversing the decree of Judge M alone of the second circuit in the matter of the court house bonds for Gadsden county. The Gadsden county commissioners called an elec tion some time since and a sixty thou sand dollar bond issue was voted by the people of the county. When, un der the law passed by the last legis lature, the bond Issue was referred to the circuit court for test as to validity, Judge M alone declared against them on technical grounds. The case was brought to the supreme court and the court reversed the lower court and entered an order for the circuit court to validate the bonds.
