It is this training, however, which we are neglecting. The evidence of this is found on every hand.

One of the measures to be sub mitted to the initiative vote of the electors, next June, is "A law to prevent corrupt practices and limit candidate's election ex penses." This is known as the Huntley bill, and was presented in the last legislature and defeated in the house. It is a very complex affair of upwards of fifty sec tions, some of them very lengthy and intricate because involving many minute particulars. It is a veritable "crazy quilt" piece of proposed legislation. It could not be otherwise because it draws many of its features from the election laws of New York, Mass achusetts, Connecticut, Cali fornia and the British Provinces. These features are incorporated with the profound thought and brilliant ideas of some of Ore gon's widely recognized neophites in the science of government. It surely must have been a lot of dullards who composed the last legislature since in the space of ninety days they failed to see the merits of this measure.( They probably saw : First ; That it is a long, cum bersome affair which prescribes new and unusual duties for state printer, secretary of state, city, county and school clerks, audit ors, recorders and other public officials, and also many perplex ing provisions relating to candi dates, their relatives and their friends. ' Second ; That it is based on the . assumption that the greater num ber of voters have their votes for sale, barter and exchange. That to be elected to any important office the candidate is compelled to make such profligate expendi tures that a poor man is debarred from seeking office. This is a false assumption and an implied insult to the honest, patriotic men who constitute at least 98 per cent of Oregon's electors. Why burden our statute-books, already overburdened, with a law so complex as this ? We now have all the law necessary to pro tect voters from interference by any one near to and at the polling place. We. have ample laws de fining bribery, fraud and other offenses against the purity of the ballot. These laws have been proved efficient and the penalties they prescribe are severe enousrh to be deterrent. What more is needed ? Plainly nothing more. It is scarcely probable that the voters will approve a law which classes every candidate for office among rogues, liars and thieves and the voter himself as a bribe seeker and taker wholly unfitted for American citizenship. This bill is a fair specimen of what visionaries, faddists and vapid sentimentalists seek, under the k operation of the initiative to foist on the people in the guise of measures needed for good gov ernment. It is well known that if we would repeal some of our laws and simplify others the cause of justice and of good gov ernment would be distinctly pro moted. We cannot do this by adding to the maze and complexity which already characterizes our laws, and we do not believe the people can be induced to try it. the spirit of self dominates. Helplessness gets scant consider ation; age, learning, wisdom, piety are not shown the deference and respect to which they are justly entitled and which were once freely and graciously ac corded to them. Men show little more deterence and respect for women than their grandfather was accustomed to show to James, hia coachman, or Thomas his but ler. Women show no resentment to this, but pass it by as if a nec essary condition of social life, We have visions of a sweet, beau tiful, womanly old grandmother, so gracious, so dignified that the most heedless schoolboy never stood with covered head in her presence, and the man who was enough thoughtless to do so never repeated the mistake, yet no woman was more truly unsel fish, sympathetic and helpful than she. We sometimes hear elderly men and women spoken of as "of the old school of manners." If we should live to be old we would covet the distinction, but. alas. alas ! we were born in a rer- verse generation, and the guild- mg material is already much worn. This induces us to plead for a renascence of the old school of manners. STATEMENT NO. 1. Something of a Humbug. The Williams Statement O. K. GOOD MANNERS. These are the product of right training grafted, as it were, on a stock of natural unselfishness for the production of the finest qual ity. Training, education gives one good conventional manners, and these mark the distinction between a gentleman and a boor, a gentlewoman and a coarse, ig- Editor Gazette : When a man of the experience, learning and wisdom of Hon. Georgh H. Williams of Portland, Oregon, sometimes familiarly ; and, I might -say, affectionately called "Flaxbrake" and who has filled some of the highest offices in the state and nation with credit to himself and honor to those he served, I say when such a man speaks out on public questions of pressing importance, it is high time his fellow citizens sit up and take notice. In the morning Oregonian of the i8ih he published a letter dealing with Statement ;o. i of the primary election law, and he explains that a candidate for the legislature may, under the pri-' maiy law, file a statement not necessarily statement no. i ncr yet no. 2, but any eld statement he chooses. As we all know, in the present state of the public mind, a legis lative candidate must depend for his election on his declaration in reference to United States Sena tor. Judge Williams suggests a statement which ought to satisfy republicans, if it does not happen in this particular election to sat isfy adherents of other political parties. I have heard the same opinion from several republicans well known throughout the coun ty, and the reason why State men. No. I was not framed to admit of a construction in line with General William's views was that the whole subject was new and its effect had not been con sidered when the law was en acted. The Williams statement is simply this : "I will, if elected, vote for that Republican candi date for United States Senator, etc." or "for "that Democrat candidate," or "for that Social ist candidate," as the case may be. aud such a statement will piactically result in the majority vote of the dominant party elect ing the Senator. That wonld re tire Statement No. i which in its effect is something of a humbug. J. H. Wilson. The United States Postal De partment h is made new - regula tions in regard to carrying second class mail matter ( snch as news papers, magazines, periodicals, etc.) the same omg iuto effect January I, 19v?, and allowing publishers to April I. 1908, o pr. pare their subscription lists in accordance with the new order of things. The effect ot the change practically compels the establish ment ot new relations between the publisher and subscribers of county papers. ' 1 The department ruling requires that subscriptions .entitled to the second class postage rate shall not be delinquent longer than the following periods of time:. Dailies within three months. i ri-weeklies within six months. bemi - weeklies within nine menths. Weeklies within one year The mails are not forbidden to subscribers who are in arrears longer than the time provided in the new ruling, but these subscri bers are placed in a separate class ification, requiring a higher rate of postage , the rate fteing so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price ot sub scription. The reason given by the gov ernment lor making this order is that second class mail matter is being carried through the mails at a rate of postage thereon which is less than the cost of car riage. The Gazette has heretofore been liberal in giving to its sub scribers time to pay for their sub scriptions, by paying JSaoo per year for those past due and $1.50 per annum when the same was paid in advance. Having made the difference in the past-due and advance rate has resulted in giv dng the Gazette a larger portion of paid up subscribers. This rule must now be changed according to Uncle Sam's order, as the newspaper has no voice in the matter. The Gazette invites its patrons to settle their dues soon. 1 1 11 1 5 Colonist Rates.
