Direct Primary
Law is Upheld

The state supreme coort has upheld
the constitutlonality of the direct
primary law in ito entirety. Each
one Of the Eve writs applied for 10
denied. The fee provision of the
law is declared to be q reasonable
charge upon the candidates toward
paying the expenses Of the primaries.
It was also held that because a candi-
date is compelled to declare his party
afhliation before voting at the pri-
mary election, such a requirem mt
cannot be construed as imposing an
additional qualification upon the
voters. The court holds that the con-
tention that the primary law tends to
destroy political parties Is question
for the people of the state to settle
for themselves, and one in which the
courts are not interested.
The contention that the second :
choice provision requires voter to
vote for person not his choice is
held to be untenable. Finally the
legislature is declared to have the
power to make law providing that
the candidate receiving less than 40
per cent of the total vote cast shall
not be declared to be the party choice.
and that the second choice prov ision
of the primary law is reasonable.
Upon the. question of judiciary
nominations the court holds that only
those candidates for judiciary posi-
tions who are nominated in the
primary election can have their
names printed on the official ballot in
November. This feature excludes
from the official ballot the names of
the Socialist candidates for superior
and supreme judges nominated by the
convention method. Stickers may
be used but nominations for judiciary
positions cannot be made by petition.

Flyer-YaIe Launch
War Continues

The launch Yale was prohibited
from leaving Bellingham Monday by
Customs Inspector Hubbard of that
port. on the ground that she measures
seventeen tons and under the law Is
subject to inspection by the steam
boat inspectors and should be requir-
ed to carry licensed pilot and
licensed engineer. The law says:
Gall vessels of above fifteen gross
tons. propelled by gas, fluid. naptha
or electric motors. employed in
carrying freight or passengers for
hire, are subject to the same inspec-
tion as are steam vessels. and such
vessels must also carry licensed
engineer and q licensed pilot; and. in
case such vessels are navigated with
out such inspection. or run without q
licensed engineer and licensed
pilot, the inspectors shall report the
same to the chief officer Of customs
of the district, for prosecution for
the penalties provided in sections
4499 and $500. Revised Statutes OF
the United States.
It is contended by the master OF
the Yale that she was measured at st.
Michaels, Alaska. and that her meas
urement there was only eleven tons.
She was taken to Seattle Wednesday
for remeasurement and was found to
be under fifteen tons. as contended
BY the owners and az shown by her
license. She arrived here from
Seattle Wednesday evening and re-
sumed her run Thursday morning.
Her principal owner, A. Brunell. OF
Cottonwood island. who is said to
have made a considerable fortune in
mining in Alaska. was here Wednes-
day evening and said that it is bis
intention to keep the Yale on her
present route all winter. He says
that the complaint against the boat
was made by the owner OF the Island
Flyer, his competitor on the route.

fore which courts he was tried many

Every one of the postcrity of Joseph
Smith have rejected the polygamous
revelation and are TO be found pleading
the cause of injured innocence.
59. Because 1t proves itself to be
the work Of a theological blunderer; 1;
therefore it could not have originated
with God nor with Joseph Smith, for
the writings Of Joseph Smith are as
dissimilar in sentiment, construction,
and language. from this document un:

guage used in the "celestial' docu.
ment bears resemblance to the Ian.
guage Of Brigham Young, in that it
uses a favorite word of his, which was
eXaltation,' used about twelve times
in this so-called revelation, and never
used to my knowledge in any revela-
tion coming from the Lord through Jo-
seph the martyr, but often used by
Brigham in his disconrses, especially
the Journal Of Discourses.
90. Because it undertakes impossi-
bilities in undertaking to sanction sin,
Justify iniquity, harbor crime, and in
endeavoring to make vice lovely and
virtue hateful. 1t is but cunning cf-
fort to elevate denominations, while it
in fact lowors humanity. II is false
in principle and ruinous in practice,
and as in the case of Hagar, makes
bondwomen of the free. 1t is but a
burlesque as compared with other reve-
lations given upon the same subject,
and reflects upon the personality of the
God who gave them.
May those who have hardened their
hearts on account of polygamy, as did
the people in the days Of Noah, change
their course ere 1T is too late, for all
the polygamists were drowned in the
flood, while none savo only the monog,
amists were protected and saved In
asmuch as Christ said (Matthew
24,37): "Even as it was in the days
of Noah, so shall it be at tho com.
ing of the son of man. we should feel
warranted that latter-day polygamists
shall perish even as sure as did the
antediluvians, for God has not changed.

itary resourcefulness is far wider than
that of armaments-it is a problem in
which are arrayed the industrial, soeio-
logical, sanitary, physical, moral, and
commercial factors of a natiOn-the
ability TO make and sell goods being
one of the most important of them all,
because to it is due the resultant abii-
ity TO buy and to borrow. Germany's
credit in the nearly forty years since
the war with France has been strained
not alone by her huge permanent mill
tary establishment but also by an un-
usually rapid industrial development.

short time ago, in need of drastic as

finances. What viii be tie result if Tn,

The report Is that Great Britain con-
templates a marked increase in her
naval program. with a considerable aug
mentation of her army, and that the
increase thus projected threatens sew
eral continental nations particularly
Germany with bankruptcy. In this Is
it possible to construe a wisdom CORE
spending to that of the Chinese. who
originated the policy Of fighting with
weapons that cannot be physically op-
posed.
The method was recently exempIified
in a general boycott of japanese goods
The boycott was in retaliation for the
summary and by no means diplomat
ically worded Japanese demand for the
release of a steamer, taken by the Chi
nese upon the charge that it was en-
gagged in supplying Chinese insurgents
with arms and ammunition.
Japan's demand, or rather. threat
served to secure the ships release. but
Chinese merchants silently inaugurated
a policy Of retaliation by refusing tc
buy goods in JaPan-a policy which
proved so effective that it partially
crippled Japan's national finances, ac-
tually ruined several of her important
industries and depressed her entire
trade \ Japanese official mission

A NeighbOr'S Fine History.

Annapolis purposes a celebration OF
the bicentenary of the granting of her
charter Washington, which only a few
years ago made her centennial day
of interest to all America, can give spe-
cial approval to the plans of her
neighbor of the Severn. For when the
Capital was being literally carved ont
of the wilderness" Annapolis had had
her charter nearly a century, had
thriven as a refuge for Puritans un-
welcome in Virginia more than half a
century earlier, and had been noted as
a "faire site for settlement by Capt.
John Smith as far back as l6OS
First Providence" then "Proctor's, 90
then The Town" then ANNE Arundel
Town" and finally lin honor of good
Queen Annel Annapolis" this little
city reaches back to the very beginning
OF American history. but she has played
still a larger part in that history as
the nation has grown. In 1894, the
capital of the province of Maryland was
removed thithcr from St. Mary's. Early
in the eighteenth century one of the
first free schools OF the continent was
organized there. Out of sympathy for
Boston, the good patriots Of Annapolis
gave another Yankee tea party and
burned the brig Peggy Stewart with her
cargo of Chinese leaf. When Wash
ington surrendered his commission il
was to Congress sitting temporarily
at Annapolis And from lS45, this port
of the Chesapeake has been the home
Of the United States Naval Academy.
What a range of retrospect is here!
How the mind wanders from one his
tOrical association to another as it sur
veys the streets radiating '-5m the
old capitol ike spokes in a wheel
There Is room here, surely, for an an
niversary which all the country shall
notice. And yet it would De only a
half-celebration il II did not involve a
look around, and forward, as well az
back. For no foolish credUlity Is re
quircd TO see in the Annapolis of today
with its 1900 inhabitants, or there
shout, city separated by a widening
gull OF commercial Importance from the
Annapolis of 1898. Ten years have

new character. But they are not all
and the new air Of enterprise which
stirs the picturesque old streets may
