When the historian of our times
comes to philosophise as to the
worlds amazing progress in tn G
last sixty years. one of the most
noteworthy topics for his discussion
will be the multiplication of news
papers as to both number and cir
culation. His explanation will be
made up largely of statement of
the influence of steam and electri-

difficult duty will be to explain
satisfactorily the almost complete

factional strife it would stir up in

Last Tuesdays election COM
pletely disproved that argument
Not only was the republican party
restored to power in the state by
the normal ma jorities on all state
and congressional Offices, but the
legislature elected at the same time
is even slightly more strongly re-
publican than the one which en-
acted the law.
AS an antidote for many of the
abuses which had grown up in
political parties through the per-
lection of party organizations and
party machines the primary law
has proved a gratifying success.
But that it has any tendency to-
ward the destruction of the respon-
sible part of party government does
not appear in the results of the
recent election.
Not only did the predictions that
all parties would be demoralized
by faCtional strife fail or even the
slightest verihcation, but, quite
the contrary, there appears to have
been even less disaffection in the
ranks of either party than has been
usual in state elections. Given the
free opportunity to nominate the
candidates of their choice in their
own parties the voters appear to
have been even more thoroughly
satisfied than usual to abide by the
result and to vote their party tick

Would Change the Ballot

At the coming session of the
legislature an effort will be made
to enact into law for this state what
is known as the Massachusetts bal
lot system. The chief feature of
this system is that it does away
with the voting of a straight party
ticket by means of single TX"
placed underneath the party name
and requires each voter to mark an
"X' after the name of each candi.
date for whom he desires to vote.
Advocates of this system claim
that it's adoption will place high
er premium on intelligent voting
than the present form of ballot.
Their theory is that OH account of
the fact that little more intelli-
gence and effort are required to
mark each candidate Individually,
the careless, Indifferent or ignorant
voters will, under the proposed
system, vote only one or at most a
few individual candidates and that
their influence will not be felt in
the selection of other officials, leav-
ing the selections of those officials
to the more intelligent and dis
eliminating voters.
Alternative plans are proposed
for the ballot in case the proposed
system is adopted. One is that the
ballot shall be printed as at present
with the candidates of each party
in a separate column with the par
ty name at the top, but without
the present provision for voting a
straight ticket. The other is that
all of the candidates Of all the par
ties shall be printed in the same

Gov.Elect Cosgrove Ill

From reports sent from Walla
Walla to Tacoma it would seem
that the statement published in The
Times touching the health of Gov
ernor-elect Cosgrove were all true,
and that the denials made by per-
SONS in his interest were for politi-
cal purposes.
The Governor elect is SO i'll that
he has been compelled to abandon
trip to Southern California which
his physicians prescribed as being
necessary and will remain at home
and do the best he can toward re-
cuperation as against the 18th day
of January, 1909, when the next
legislature will sit, and before
whom the governor will be COM
PEELED to go during the week.
Various excuses are given and
among them the excitement which
attended the election of November

pal cause. That is just exactly

One Primary Law Gain

A large portion of the men who
have been elected to county Office
has made the declaration that in
the appointing of deputies they
will be governed by the ability and
fitness of the applicant rather than
by any political considerations
This is one of the good results OF
the direct primary law.
Under the old convention sys-
tenn, when candidate had to get
his nomination from the politicians
instead of from the people, he
might have little if anything to
say about the appointment of his
deputies. Before he could get the
nomination. he was often compelled
to consent to let other politicians
name the deputies who were to
serve under him.
A great disadvantage of this was,
that the deputies, being under nc
obligation to their chief for their
appointments, were inclined tc
give poor service, knowing their
jobs were secure. Under the pres
ent system, the county officers are
free to select their own deputie:
