From returns of the election so far
received 1T il evident that Earl
Sanders will be the high man on the
democratic ticket, receiving more
votes than any other candidate. In
this precinct, with its republican
majority of 45O, Mr.. Sanders beat his
opponent by ten votes, which is proof
conclusive that the false stories and
bitter personal attacks made on him
reacted in his favor. Il shows that
the story peddIeds over the county,
was believed to be false by the people
and that their sense of honor and
justice caused them to give Mr..
Sander their votes. The result also
shows that personalities do not win
votes. In justice to Mr.. Sanders

RUNNINa an 10 aoYERNMENr.

RUNNING ALL 10 GOVERNMENT.
The Lewiston Tribune has SO clear
" defined the tendency toward an
ever increasing list of office holders
that 1t is worth reading by every one.
The Tribune says that "the census
bureau has just completed an elabo-
rate statistical Investigation OF the
executive civil service" and puts
the total number employed in lit at
al, 169. II three persons we're de.
pendent on each of these, that would
give a million persons in this one
division of employees alone whose
livelihood comes through government
work. There are another 100, 1000
soldiers and sailors, besides multi
tudes Of employees Of individual
office holders aud vast armies Of the
state, city, county, school and other
branches of the public service to be
added to those who get their living
through the government. Considering
the vast contracts let by the govern
ment for warships, army and navy
supplies, postoffice supplies and the
thousand aud one other sources OF
public expenditure, one may begin
to form an idea of the interests
wrapped up in an existing admins
tration. Not overlooking the trades
men and other persons who have
dealings more or less lucrative with
federal employees, the proportion
wakes enormously. Ii socialism is
condition in which citizens receive
their living from the state, the
United States then is already largely
socialistic. There is not, aud pro-
badly never has been, any people
among whom government has grown
so greatly numerically as compared
with those who must make their way
not only without any government
aid but actually handicapped in the
struggle by government benefits con-
ferred upon their competitors. OF
course, any one must see that such
an enlargement in the power Of office
is detrimental to popular government
aud subversiye of free institutions.
1t is we'll enough to feel patriotic
and to know that there Is no flag like
he stars and stripes, no people like
the American people, no country like
our own; but the wise American
must regard facts like other people
have had to face them. Danger must
De noted in time. While in most
respects We have the best government
on earth, and while our system has
proven a at model for many nations
that have adopted it, still it must be
apparent to the student Of political
economy that no other system has
ever been devised by man under
which more places or benefits in one
or another line of the public service
could be created and held out as a
reward for active and unquestioning
partisan fidelity. OF course, the
system costs an enormous amount of
money which the self supporting
citizen has to produce but the cost to
the taxpayer in dollars and cents is
much less serious than the cost Of
self-reliance and in the benefits OF
self-help that never fails to weaken
the confidence aud character Of a
people given over to falllacy like
the paternalism to which we stand
committed. -
