Brigham Young the Original Local op-

Kansas City, Sept. 26,-Those peo-

night expected to hear Eugene w.

United States on the prohibition tick
ct give a temperance lecture were
disappointed. Mr.. Chain gave moth

ing that he expected to receive the
electoral vote of Missouri, the crowd
was almost ready to laugh again.
Eugene w. Chain is a big man, tall,
broad, commanding. He takes with
an audience. When he bends down
from his great height and impressive
ly taps two foreilngers together he
produces that breathless quiet that
denotes absolute possession OF his
hearers. Although Mr.. Chain is ear
nest. he knows how to avoid chilling
his audience Last night he drew an
unpleasant picture OF the havoc which
the liquor traffic was making in the
homes of the land. but he steered
clear OF sentimentality and presented
his facts in a practical and business
like way, keeping the portrayal sweet
with a plentiful sprinkling OF witty
commentary.
There are seven of us running for
president this year. he said in open

, speeches-the other is in jail. There
are so many of us running that there

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 2s.-Suit, in

The educational department of the
state Is determined that ths spirit OF
the contract with the publishers shall
be upheld. The law provides for an
exchange Of old books on the basis
OF 80 per cent valuation. The con
tracts are little ambiguous but they
all accept the law as a part.
A feature not TO be overlooked by
county and city instructors is that
the books used In the schools last
year may be continued until the htl-

reason for existing.
Take the tariff" he said. why,
there hasn't a new argument been
made for or against the tariff since
Hamilton died. Hamilton, who in.
vented the protective tariff, gave the
only excuse for one when he urged
it's adoption. He wanted to foster
dome site industries and he frankly
said at the time that II 1t should tend
to breed monopolies the only relief
would be in competition. Htnr>
Clay said the same thing. But now
the trusts which did not exist in the
day of Hamilton or clay. have come
along and stifled competition, but the

WASHINGTON PRIMARY.

The Spokesman Review has the
following points on the primary
law of the State of Washington
In the approaching state anc
congressional elections the voters
will have their first opportu nity
under the new primary law Of
expressing first and second choice
for candidates. This provision
of the law applies only to candi-
dates for state Offices or for con-
gress. 1t becomes effective when
four or more candidates Of po-
litical party are running in the
primaries for one Office.
In such case the law requires
every voter at the primary cleo
tion to designate one first choice
and one second choice. If he
fails to do his ballot will not be
counted. He must not vote for
the same person as first and Sec
ond choice.
When the ballots are counted,
if any candida e shall have re-
ceived 40 per cent or more of the
first-choice votes of his political
party, the candidate receiving
the highest number of first-class
votes will be declared the NOM
inee, without reference to the
second choice Votes. If, however,
none of the four or more candi-
dates receives 40 per cent, a can
vass is to be made of the second
choice votes. The first and Sec
ond choice votes of such candi-
dates are to be added together,
and whoever has the highest
number of combined votes be-
comes the nominee.
By this arrangement the leader
in rst-choice votes, unless he
has DO per cent. may yet lose the
nominatitn. One who has compa-
ratively few first choice votes
may be so strong in second choice
as to bring his total ahead of the
leader in first choice with, per-
haps, only a small number of Sc
cond choice.

The United States Postal De-
paItment has made new regula-
tons in regard 10 carrying second
class mail matter { such as news
papers, magazines, periodicals,
etc.) the same going into effect
January I, 1908, and allowing
publishers to April I. 1908, 20
pr pare their subscription lists in
accordance with the new order of
things. The effect OF the change
practically compels the establish
ment of new relations between
the publisher and subscribers of
county papers.
The department ruling requires
that subscriptions entitled to the
second class postage rate shall
not be delinquent longer than the
following periods of time:
Dailies within three months.
iri-weeklies within six months.
Semi weeklies within nine
months.
Weeklies within one year
The mails are not forbidden to
subscribers who are in arrears
longer than the time provided in
the new ruling, but these subscri
bers are placed in separate class
i6ca.ion. requiring a higher rate
of postage the rate being SO high
that publishers could not afford
to send papers at the price OF SUBJ
scription.
The reason given by the gov
ernment lor making this order is
that second class mail matter is
being carried through the mails
at rate OF postage thereon
which is less than the cost of car
riage.
The GAZETTE has heretofore
been liberal 10 giving to its SUBJ
scribers time to pay for their sub
scriptions, by paying $500 per
year for those past due and 81. so
per annum when the same was
paid in advance. Having made
the difference in the past-due and
advance rate has resulted in Civ
ding the GAZETTE larger portion
of paid up subscribers. This rule
must now be changed according
to Uncle Sans order, as the
newspaper has no voice in the
matter. The GAZETTE invites its
patrons to settle their dues soon.
