WARNING AGAINST EFFORTS TO
BEAT The Law.
President Of Direct Primary League
Tells of MOvement to Defeat the
Law. Attempt to Get ArO und the
Section pIedging United states
Senator Vote.

A warning of a movement through
out the state to defeat the aim of the
direct primary law was issued last
week by Christopher w. Horr, presi-
dent of the Direct Primary League of
the state of Washington. In this
warning, which is in the form of an
open letter to the citizens of Wash
ingtOn, Mr.. Horr lays particular
stress on the point that the enemies
of the law will endeavOr to evade
section 81 relating to the election OF
United States senators. The open
letter is as follows:
'.To the citizens of Washington:
'All friends of the direct primary
law are earnestly requested to take
heed of the fact that there Is a we'll
organized movement on foot to have
the direct primarv law declared un-
constitutional, at such time that a
special session of the legislature cam
not be held in time to pass another
law before the September primaries.
Failing in that scheme, the next
move will be by injunction proceed
ings to prevent the primaries being
held. That ruse failing, the next
plan will be to get men nominated
and elected to the state legislature
without signing the pledge in section
81 of the law as follows:
"'I hereby declare to the people of
the state of Washington, and partic-
ularly of my legislative district, that
during my term Of office l will al
ways vote for the candidate for Unit
ed States senator who has received
the highest number of votes upon my
party ticket for the position at the
primary election next preceding the
election of United States senator; and
in such case there shall be printed on
the official primary ballot opposite or
Just below said candidates name the
following: '"Pledge to vote for party
choice for United States senator. "
"Now, it is very important that
only good and true men be nominated
as senators and representatives, anC
if they are good and true men they
will gladly sign the pledge in section
81, and if they do not sign the pledge
then see to it that these men are de-
feated. We have a good primary law
giving the people right to rule, ant
we should not allow unscrupulou'
politicians or boodlers to thwart the
will of the people.
Every holdover senator who is
republican or democrat on principle
and who is an honorable man, will
respect the direct primary law which
they assisted in passing, and bt
bound by it's provisions. Let the peo
pie have the chance to give theil
voices full and free expression at tht
September direct primaries, and an!
one who would try to take from thu
people the right to rule, or who il
in politics for his own selfish inter
ests, is not good citizen or honor
able man, and is unworthy of the
confidence and respect of his fellow
man.
''Insist on all candidates for thu
legislature signing the pledge in sec
tion 81 and thus carry out the spiri
of the direct primary law"

 The Hot Springs Post looks upon mail-order concerns in the same light as did ex-U. s. Senator Tabor of Colo rado upon the painting of William Shakespeare tnow deceased). After the completion of the magnificent Tabor Grand opera house in Denver, the Senator, so the story goes, espied for the first time the likeness of the immortal bard" on the drop curtain; he was unacquainted with Williams features-had never heard tell of him, much less having ''prospected" with him-and hurriedly summoning the theater manager. wanted to know "whose mug that was up there?" When informed that it was Shake speare, the greatest of playwrights, Tabor blurted out: "What U hell did Shakespeare ever do for Denver? Tear it down, and put my pictur' up thar" :"

 Two miners in the Fortymile country some years ago decided to '.save little money" by patronizing one of those far away catalogue houses. One of them ordered mackinaw coat. It finally reached him-that is, part of it. A mail package is limited to four pounds. This miner got his mackinaw in the

fall, just at the closing of navigation, but it was minus one sleeve-that mem- Der having been amputated on account of overweight. In the following spring when the steamboats were again running, seven months later, and all classes of mail were being forwarded, the missing coatsleeve turned up, and with it was a nice bright needle al- ready threaded with just enough spool cotton to sew the sleeve in it's place. That needle and thread are the only articles we ever heard of a mail-order house giving up voluntarily.

 The other miner, living on claim a short distance from the mackinaw-coat buyer, sent for 8 pair of gum boots. The boots. on account of weight, were mailed separately. One boot reached Fortymile in late September, the other slept peacefully in the Seattle post office until the following merry month of May.

Hot Springs post., 1908-10-15

One of our legacies of the nineteenth century is the mail-order house-an in- stitution that draws largely from nearly every community throughout the land for the benefit of large department stores in big centers of trade; an instit- ution noted for the inferior quality of its wares and the extreme low wages paid its hundreds of young women and children employees. Money forwarded to such concern is entirely lost to the sender's immediate vicinity. These stores contribute not a single penny to local revenues for license, taxes or donations to worthy causes, as do the all local merchants. Does the patron of mail-order think for a moment that a request for donation to q local improvement addressed to Shears, Saw buck & Co. or Montgomery Mont would receive as cheerful and substan- tial assistance as the one presented to the most humble dealer of your own town-the man you ''pass up" when mail-ordering goods? We trow nit.
 The inauguration of the winter mail service at the present reminds The Post of last years beginning of the same. Several tons of mail quickly ac- cummulated at Valdez early last fall. The regular mail carrier, whose con- tract only called for certain amount each week, was unable to handle it.. Newspapers and magazines from the outside had failed of delivery for weeks "a deasth of reading matter was felt throughout the land. Finally freight CTS were employed to haul the stuff to Fairbanks the people meanwhile awaiting it's arrival by that very slow method of mail transportation. It finally arrived. Great and gleeful was the surprise of many when the sacks were opened and were handed their quota of the contents; they received not the 'old home newspapers" and maga- zines teeming with wholesome reading matter, but great bundles of catalogues from far-away mail-order houses-hun- dreds of pounds of them. The reading matter came along afterward. Had the whole cheese" been forever drowned in one of the treacherous streams along the trail every community in Alaska would have been thousands of dollars to the good thereby. The money they
