Russian Premier Thinks People Have
More Confidence In Men
Now In Power.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 29.-The Strana
today quoted Premier Stolypin as com
menting optimistically in a recent CONVEX
sntion on the decrease Of disorder in the
empire and as hailing as happy augury
the fact that the new parliament will be
Of such character that the problems be-
fore the Russian government may be re-
garded as approaching settlement. The
premier was further quoted as declaring
that the government would not hesitate
to dissolve the parliament. even the day
after its convoking. II 1t manifested any
disposition TO neglect constructive work.
Contrasting the present situation with the
condition of affairs at the end of 1905. the
premier attributed the wave of disorder
and the armed revolt of that year to the
indecision and lack of confidence of the
men then in power.
The constitutional democrats, who antici-

Parliament have already outlined their
tactics and have determined to devote the
first part of the session exclusively to
parliamentary work and endeavor to carry
through a reform of the system Of local
administration, the enactment Of universal
suffrage and other indispensable Legislation
before locking horns with the government
in the great struggle for a representative
ministry and full parliamentary govern
ment. They wish to avoid provoking a
repture with the government until the re.
forms which they appeal to the country

J Reformed Spelling.

President Roosevelt is supporting
and helping the work of the spell
ingfeform board. The newspapers
have made all kinds of fun of the
movement ever since Andrew Car
negie suggested it. The president
bids them defiance and orders the
public printers at Washington to
conform to the recommendations of
the board in the case Of three huu-
dred words specified in circular
number five.
The object is to do away with
superfuous letters in words and
spell them nearer according to the
sound. For instance plough"
should be spelled "plow," "phan-
tasy" should be fantasy"
programme" to be program"
and the like. Mr.. Roosevelt thinl s
that our spelling has become entire
ly too fantastic and should be
simpler. The language of Shakes
peare and Milton, he claims, was
much simpler than now. He in
tends to stick to his task and see
that our spelling is reformed.

TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.
Judge Alton B. Parker Delivers Ad.
dress Before American Bar As.
SOCidtiOn.

The abuse of legislation, of which
The News and Courier has been
complaining for many years, was
the subject of Judge Alton b.
Parker's admirable address to the
American Bar Association at its
recent meeting in st. Paul, Mimi.
South Carolina has suffered, in
common with all other states of the
Union, from too much legislation.
Efforts have been made from time
to time, to curtail the crop of stat
utes with which our books are
loaded every year by the General
Assembly at Columbia. More than
25,OOO pages of new laws, we are
told by Judge Parker, are added to
to the statute bccks each year, and
it is utterly impossible to have any
wcll-ordered government as long ms
the country is flooded with this
waste of words. During the years
1899 and 1905 the Parliament of
Great Britain, lcgislating for
~, ,OOO,O0O people at home and
millions of dependents in other
lands, passed an average OF only
forty six general and only two hun
dred and forty-six special laws, and
England is confessedly the best
governed country in the world.
In pointing out some of the
sources of over-legislation, Judge
Parker noted popular clamor as one
OF the most efficient agencies in
making new laws. Another fruit
ful source of legislation is the
neglect or failure to enforce exist
ing laws. Another cause of much
law-making is the misdirccted or
ignorant zeal of the executive
officers who interfere with the
course of legislation, and still
another and favorite form of legis-
lation is that which is designed for
the benefit or at the behoof of a
political party.
We wish very much that every
member of the General assembly OF
South Carolina, which will convene
next January, might make a study
OF Judge Parker's speech. There
will be good many new members
in the next legislature of our state.
Most of them will 60 to Columbia
with the idea of reforming" some
of the evil conditions existing in
this state, and all sorts of schemes
will be suggested for the relief of
purely local conditions, or for the
attainment of personal ends. Our
statute books are already packed
with laws which should never have
been enacted. The state would be
far better off without them. The
administration of justice would be
vastly promoted. The people who
are the best governed are the people
who arc the least governcd.-News
and Courier.
