The elections now drawing to a close
In Great Britain were precipttated BY
a constitutional controversy. Whether It
is a liberal victory or q conservative
triumph. the constitution OF, Great Britain
has been changed. The mandate OF the
electors will be obeyed by the new house
Of commons, which will meet in January.
The fact that there would be q general
election to decide the fate OF the historic
and ancient upper chamber OF the British
parliament was not known until Novem-
Der IA. Within ave weeks after that
date the last member OF the new parlia-
ment WITH have been elected. Within
six weeks from the time Of the last
election hte new parliament will be in
election the new parliament will be in
will OF the electors.
A hundred years ago. hfty years ago,
ten years ago. Eve years ago. one year
ago-anybody In America might have
known that there would be congress
sionai election In the United States In
the autumn Of 1910. Any time in the
past forty years everybody knew that
election would take place the first Tues
day after the first Monday In November.

proposition Of the direct election of Unit
ca states senators, but as these resolu-
lions were not uniform in wording. there
is no prospect that anything will come Of
It. Americans may think that some Of
the methods employed to reform the
house OF lords are absurd, but they would
do well to remember that the task is IN
fnitely more simple and direct than q
similar Undertaking to reform the Senate
would be In the United States.
-.
As a matter Of fact, the British con-
stitution permits the voters to have
very niue
influence Of Voters greater direct
Greater in England. p anSuspee affairs ln
than does the American Constitution.
The suffrage is limited in England to q
greater exteit thai It is in America:
there ara special privileges legally en-
joyed by wealthy and noble persons
which would be repugnant to American
institutions. and there 10 q caste system
wholly foreign to the essential democracy
Of the great republic. But, notwithStand-
ing these limitations, the British elector
has the right not only to cast his vote
cal controversy: but he also has the right
to demand that his will be carried into
execution Immediately.
Up until this time this right has been
qualified and limited by the fact that one
party has had an overwhelming majority
in the upper chamber Of the legislatu e
and has therefore been enabled to block
legislation on subjects which had not
been made the specific issue in . general
election. But not even the house Of lords
in modern times ever has refused to re-
feet the will Of the electorate as express
ed on a definite question. The same can
not be said for the United States Senate,
Democratic Senates have refused to con-
slider the mandate Of the people when
they elected a republican House Of Repre-
sentatives and republican Senates have
likewise ignored the result OF an election
giving the democrats q majority Of the
lower house.

No Constitutional
Issue Involved.

In due time. No constitutional issue was
involved, the election was not called to
decide any particular question. it was
held because the time had come to holu
an election. 1t Is true that there were
several more or less sharply defined ma
tional issues. and the result was that the
people generally recalled from the repub-
lean party it's mandate OF power. and In
trusted the democratic party with q ma
tority in the House Of Representatives.

ton last week. But the representatives
elected last November are not there.

FOOLED
How Some Young Men Jumped
at a Conclusion And Got Left.

Two or three young gentlemen
sailed forth the other evening
TO call on some young ladies.
They sidled up on the porch and
while they were pulling down
their vests and whipping off their
chins and smoothing down their
hair they espied some packages
that looked good to them. Can
dy, By George!" they exclaimed,
soto voee; and a deep and dark
plan Immediately took form in the
minds Of the three. They thought
the packages had been left on
the outside by some young men
who were calling at the time
the candy-purchasing callers
having been overtaken. presum-
ably, before entering with q
bashfulness that caused them to
deposit their gifts on the outside
against q moment that might
seem auspicious for introducing
them-or that the candy had been
SHE'D upon the porch by some one
too bashful to pass it out just So
or-anyway, there it was s-c-a-n-
d-y-so they decided to take it
away and score one on the other
fellows.
| Which the same they did, and
they were very much surprised
to find, on opening the packages,
that one contained coffee, another
matches, and 80 on; and it was
very plain that the packages con-
tanned various things that had
been ordered by the lady of the
house from Mr.. ]. H. Wishart's
grocery store.
| And it came to pass that a
somewhat disconnected trio of
young men slipped back, quietly
deposited the packages upon the
porch where they had foun9
them. and moseyed sadly and
thoughtfully away.

MAN RUSSELL
Local Socialist Party Ap-
proves Stand On Car
negie Library.

Under our present insane indus
trial system or lack of system, some
men are compelled to be owners of
industry and others TO be the wage
slaves of these industrial masters
the condition which creates all the
friction between employer and en-
ploye, is caused by the fight over
wealth created by labor, as all wealth
is created by labor. and under this
insane system the employer is forced
to grind down his wage slaves to
the lowest point for which they will
work and create wealth.
The socialist party does not con-
denim the employer for being an en-
ployer. but some of them are worse
than need be and are hypocrites who
preach peace on earth, good will to
men and at the same time grind
them down to starvation wages and
even shoot them down when they go
on strikes.
One of the worst employers of la
Dor in this country is Andrew Car
negie, who pays starvation wages
and even shoots his men down. as
was done at Homestead strike. These
damnable acts of this man have
caused all lovers of humanity 10 look
upon him as a modern Herod and
we, the Socialist Party, heartily COM
mend Councilman Russell for the
stand he took at council meeting
Tuesday night in moving that Car
neeie's offer be turned down, as Car
negie had refused Wenatchee the
right to put public comfort station
in the basement He said If the
councilmen had ever visited his steel
mills and coal mines and seen how
he got his money. they would all
turn it down, but we are sorry TO
say that his motion failed to carry.
We, the Socialist party, are OPP
posed to accepting this blood money
from Carnegie, this modern Herod
who butchers men. women and chill
dren to reap his riches. 1t would
be disgrace to Wenatchee to have
this monument erected in our park
to this industrial pirate
While we all want Libraries, for
the sake of humanity don't accept
this money wrung from shaving
mothers and children, but by popu-
lar subscription raise money and
build our own library.

LOCAL OPTION IN
ONTARIO
On Monday More Than Four
Score Localities Will
Vote on Question.

Ottawa. Ont. Dec. 30-.Through-
Out the whole extent of Ontario,
from Glengarry county in the east to
Essex county in the west, the final
skirn,ishing Is now on in what Is re-
sarded as the r. ost il, portant local
option campaign ever waged in the
Province. On Monday next more
than four-score municipalities. in
Guiding many of the leading cities,
will vote upon the question of local
prohibition.
The temperance forces are now
thorou ghly organized and have con-
Quoted an aggressive campaign. The
anti-prohibition element profess to
feel no feat over the outcome of the
contest, but unprejudiced opinion in
clines to the belief that the election
will result in a considerable addition
to the dry area of the Province.
There are SIS municipalities in
Ontario at the present time with a
total of 1880 licenses. Four hun
dred and ten of these nunicipaliti s
are now dry and 4o6 wet, or in other
words the strength Ct the opposing
elements is almost equally divided.
striking feature of the campaign
is the comparatively few attempts
being made to repeal the local optior.
Last year there were III munich
palities in which repeal contests
were possible. but in only II was the
matter brought to a vote, and only ,
bylaws were repealed. This year
there are 12S municipalities in which
local option bylaws have been in
force for three years or more. and
where repeal contests might be made
in accordance with the law. But of
the entire 128 places only half a
dozen have taken advantage of the
privilege and will vote on the ques-
ton of repeal. This fact is cited by
the advocates of prohibition as af-
fording conclusive evidence of the
success of the anti-saloon laws and
as an indication of still further
weakening of the liquor traffic as a
result of next weeks election.
