In founding human govern ments one of the most difficult - considerations Is that of assured stability. This is especially true of democracies. So difficult is it that before ours no long existing democracy had ever been erected. Men, most men had come to re gard a democratic government as a vain dream, a foolish experi ment. Our English ancestors strove through many generations not to destroy their form of government but to enlarge their liberties by limiting the prerogatives of their sovereigns. Their government became more and more a limited monarchy, until to-day they have , excepting our own, the freest and, without exception, the strongest government on earth, strong because it rests upon the affections of the people, not for their sovereign but for their form of government. Their struggle for freedom was one against king-craft allied with ecclesias ticism. When the Americans found? d for themselves and their poster ity a representative democracy the monarchies of the old world sneered and predicted our early failure, But little more than three-fourths of a century elaps ed and our great trial came. The foes of democracy everywhere rejoiced, while its friends were all but dismayed. Democracy, emerged from the trial, stronger, purer, better than ever before. The founders of the government had given a sta ble form of government, and the intelligence and patriotism of the people, after a trial of seventy five years, stood up for its per petuity. While it has endured for an hundred and twenty-five years, 'yet, measured by years, it is but a nursling when compared with that of England. Measured by achievement we are almost as old as she. We have demonstrated the beneficence of democratic govern ment and reached some of its pos sibilities. If we would attain those which yet lie in the future we must look to the stability of our forms of government. What we have already wrought out for civil and religious liberty arid the advancement of human happi ness has been because of the forms of our government. If we would continue to go forward we must follow the lines along which we have already made such rap id strides and scored such won derful success. All depends upon the answer we make to the question : Shall we, our form of government, endure? By all we have achieved, by all we may hope to achieve we should answer, yes. But dare ry gave us ? form's which cannot be outworn a thousand years hence. If we heed not these foes our government shall endure. WASHINGTON PRIMARY. The Spokesman Review has the following points on the primary law of the State of Washington: "In the approaching state and congressional elections the voters will have their first opportunity under the new primary law of expressing first and second choice for candidates. This provision of the law applies only to candi dates for state offices or for con gress. It becomes effective when four or more candidates of a po litical party are running in the primaries for one office. In such case the law requires every voter at the primary elec" tion to designate one first choice and one second choice. If he fails to do his ballot will not be counted. He must not vote for the same person as first and sec ond choice. When the ballots are counted, if any Candida' e shall have "re ceived 40 per cent or more of the first-choice votes of his political party, the candidate receiving the highest number of first-class votes will be declared the nom inee, without reference to the second choice vetes. If, however, none of the four or more candi dates receives 4o per cent, a can vass is to be made of the second- choice votes. The first and sec ond choice votes of such candi dates are to be added together, and whoever has the highest number of combined votes be comes the nominee. By this arrangement the leader in first-choice votes, unless he has 4o per cent, may yet lose the nominatitn- One who has compa ratively lew first choice votes may be so strong in second choice as to bring his total ahead of the leader in nrst choice with, per haps, only a small number of se cond choice. The United States Postal De partment has. i made new regula tions in regard to carrying second class mail matter (such as newspapers,- ma gazines, periodicals, etc.) the same going into effect Januarv i, 19v?, and allowing publishers to April . I, iqo?, o pr.pare their subscription lists in accordance with the new order of things. The effect of the change practically compels the establish ment ot new relations between the publisher and subscribers of county papers. 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. 1 ri-weelclies within six months. beau - weeklies witmn nine months. Weeklies within one year The malls are not forbidden to subscribers who are in arrea.s 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 being so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price of sub scription. - The reason given by the gov ernment tor 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 $200 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. Tnis 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. 110 Tl Additional Locals. fhe Christian Scientists will hold services at the Woodman Hall, Sun day, 11 m.

Are there not subtle influ ences at work, even now, which would change the forms of our government by persuading men that we must do so if we would save democracy from ruin? Truly it is so. Not from the so-called ."privileged class" comes the danerer. This class we can scourge into right paths. The dangercomes from the ignorance, vanity, self-sufficiency and vault ing ambition of a few who know little of and care nothing for the principles of human government as embodied in our constitutions. By appeal to ignorance, preju dice, and false sentiment they seek to persuade us that we must change these thee this mornin' in the attitude o' prayer, and likewise o' complaint. When we cam' tae the land o' Canady, we expected tae find a flowin' wi' milk aud honey, but instead o' that we found a land peopled with ungodly Irist. O Lord, in thy great mercy, drive them to the uttermost parts o' Canady; mak' them hewers o' wood and drawers o' water: gie' them nae emoluments; give them nae place o' abode. Ne'tr mak' them magistrates or rulers amang thy people; but if ye have any favors to bestow, rany guid ldnd tae-gie awa', gie it tae thir-e ain, thy peculiar people the Scotch. Mak' them a' members a' parliment, an' magistrates an' rulers amang thy people. But as for the ungodly Irish, tak' them by the heel and shake them ower the mouth o' hell, but din na let them fa' in. Aud the glory shall be thine. Amen. Colonist Rates.
