ton by direct vote its representation
would be measured by its population.
There are five states which now cast three
votes each in the electoral college. Each
of these would lose approximately two
thirds of its power in the choice of presi-
dent by the change. There are eight
states with four votes each. which would
lose approximately half their power by
the change. That these thirteen states
would approve such an amendment is I'M
reasonable to expect.
The danger of electing president by
national gerrymander is very great. Po-
litical parties are prone to exercise any
power within the letter of the law which
the fortunes of political warfare may place
in their hands. There does not seem to
be any remedy against this dread posi-
bility of partisanship except an awakened
sense of patriotism on part of the people.
Congress cannot set aside the right Of the
states to determine in what manner pres
idential electors shall be chosen. The
constitution says each state "shall ap-
point, in such manner as the legislatures
thereof may direct, number of electors
equal to the whole number of senators and
representatives to which the state may be
entitled in the congress-"
Ex-senator Edmunds, in the current
number of the Forum, says that it Is per
fectly within the competence of congress
to provide for really contiguous territory,
and for really equal numbers in each dis
trict. 1t is manifest that if
this great and growing enemy of true
democracy is to be banished it must be by
the direct action of congress. Such action,
to be effectual, must supersede state action,
and create the districts and adjust their
relative populations upon considerations
of geography and arithmetic solety-races
and creeds and parties must be absolutely
ignored"
AS things stand at present an election of
a president by national gerrymander
might take place under the forms of law
which would be in reality fragrant usur-
patton. If the example of Michigan
should be followed by enough other closely
divided states to settle the presidential
election beforehand, Mr.. Taylor thinks "a
tragedy might follow the farce" and Sem
ator Edmunds says:
Such practices against really democratic and
republican government will, If they are per-
mitted to continue and grow, inevitably result,
first, in the destruction OF the liberties and
immunities OF the great body OF people, and
secondly, in a CONFUSION wherein the people
will, at whatever cost, and by whatever means
may seem most etfectual, repossess themselves
OF the rights out OF which they have been thus
defrauded.

KEEP THE RINK AND ABOLISH
THE BOY.


Major Stem, of Tacoma, because his
stepson has been arrested for seducing a
young woman whom he met at the skat-
ing rink, wishes to abolish the rink. Sup
pose his stepson had first met his victim
at church sociabie, or Good Templar
lodge, or sunday-school picnic, would
the major abolish all these opportunities
for the social meeting of the sexes2
The trouble is not with the skating
rink; the trouble is with the young man
and the young woman. Young people,
who have to be Theoretically sealed up;
kept under lock and key lest they sin. are
not worth worrying about; they will be
sure to sin whenever they are turned loose
Virtue that can not hold its ground
except all possible opportunity for doing
wrong, all temptation TO sin is removed, is
about as worthless as the sobriety of the
man who can't keep sober because there
is saloon in town; or the chastity of q
husband who can't be loyal to his wife be-
cause there is bagnio in town. The man
or woman who has no power or desire to
resist temptation, except when sealed up
in convent cell, are certain when they
leave their cell for worldly con flict to sin
at the first opportunity. You can no more
expect to make boys grow up sober by re-
fusing to let them walk the streets until
all the saloons are closed than you can
cure the catarrh by combining yourself to q
room with closed windows. As long as
Ind hn ~ mill
abate. but the moment you are obliged to
live and move in the open air catarrh calls
you its own again.
The world is full of good and evil; we
are free to choose sides, and we are not eff
fcient soldiers in life's battle that cannot
tives, when we preach the shallow doc
trine that men will never be sober or
chaste until the saloon and the brothel go,
rather than the insistance of that self-re-
straint, whose practice will surely make
the world of saloons and brothels 4 de-
serted village, make harlots peak and
pine and saloons put up their shutters to
avoid starvation.
The devil does not lie in the skating
rink, that's innocent, legitimate recrea-
ton in itself; the devil lies in those who
are ready to abuse the decencies of
every place of public assemblage from
a church choir to skating
rink. To abolish skating rink will not
reform those who have visited it for un-
worthy purposes or at least in a mood ripe
for wrong doing. Young men and women
who cannot be trusted abroad lest they
abuse their liberty, need guardian badly
night and day, but that is no reason why
| people who are not disposed to abuse their
liberty should not enjoy skating rink. If
the skating rink is indecently conducted
it deserves to be abolished, but otherwise
the persons who abuse it to the end of in
| decency ought TO be abolished.

THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS.

The German Socialists. who make En-
peror William so uncomfortable, are not
tinctured with anarchism or communism.
Lassalle, the founder of the party, in 1862,
advised labor to agitate for universal sui
frage and to demand assistance from the
government in forming cooperative asso-
Citations Bismarck, who knew and adj
mired Lossalle, a Jew of splendid genius,
ultimately granted universal suffrage and
established the workingman's insurance
associations.
The German Socialists assert that since
labor is the creator of all value, the Ia
borer, instead of receiving barely enough
to sustain life, had his rightful wages in
the product Of labor, and that in
order TO give labor something more
than bare subsistence the state
should interfere and adjust the re-
lations between capital and labor by
the creation Of cooperative associatio ms.
The Iaborer would thus produce for him.
self, become his own contractor and this,
according to the German Socialists and
English Socialists known as the Man
chester school, is the only peaceful legal
solution of the labor problem.
German socialism, as taught by Lassalle,
who was killed in q duel in 1864, and as
modified by Karl Marx, is advocated
within constitutional lines and methods,
and is entirely ASSOCIATED from French
communism, which in its worst revolu-
tionary form is the religion of the So
called Chicago anarchists.
