TIIK IN HARTER ABLE PRINCIPLE
(llenn K. Plumb, author of the Plumb
plan of government ownership and tri
partite operation of the railroads oi
the country* denies strongly that he or
those whom he represents ever intend
ed by threats of revolution to force
congress to adopt their measure or
any other proposed legislation.
The denial is important. Forcing
congress to act by threats of revolu
tion would be revolution, no less.
Though government might preserve
the outward form that it had before
its overthrow in this manner, loss of
the vital principle on which it was
based would constitute a change of a
highly revolutionary kind. Free action
by the chosen representatives of the
people constitutes that vital principle
in a self governing democracy.
Failure to comply with the w ish« -
of the people who adhere to represen
tative government is readily punish
able at the ballot box.

There is going to be a large group
of broken Chinese contractors this

contracts at the many canneries means
much to the boss Chinaman. In most
cases it means no Chinese New Year,
when all good Chinamen pay their ob
ligations. Mr. Chink must take the
knob off his hat. put on his old blouse
and humbly step down from the throne
