SHALL WE ENDURE?
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.

A Scotchman's Prayer.
Oh Lord, we approach
we? 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.
