Democratic positions are quite in
consistent. Last fall Democratic
newspapers were busy misinforming
the people on many subjects. In
particular they held out the idea
that the progressives in the Repub-
lican party were blessed because
they were against the special inter-
ests. Now some OF the same news
papers are holding out the idea that
the reason the Canadian reciprocity
agreement has made no faster
progress in the Senate is because
representatives OF the interests arc
blocking the way. The Telegram S
understanding Of the situation is
that the progressive Republicans,
with one or Two exceptions, are
most prominent in opposition to the
treaty. Thus it is seen how incon-
sistent Democratic argument is.
But, to leave no doubt aoou. it. per-
anti the Telegram to direct atten-
ton to the fierce howls put up by
Democracy in this state against the
special interests last fall and then
let its readers couple those with
what Democracy has actually done
in the legislature, where the special
Interests have mad absolute control.

The Law Of Our Land.


"A law may be a foolish law.
There are thousands of laws. which,
for good practical reasons, are not
enforced, says Robert sloss in an
article in Success Magazine" en-
titled why Is an Express Com
pany?" Law is merely an express
sion of the popular will, and if the
popular viii is not behind the law,
or does not stay behind 1t, that law
should not exist. And If you and l
and all of US do not want law en-
forced, who is going to eaforce it?
Here is Section ISL, Revised
Statutes, passed March 4, 1909. AZ
that time there had already been in
existence for forty years and more
a law covering the same point. For
forty years and more the express
business of this country had been
in direct violation of the
older statute. There is no question
about it. Insofar as the express
companies compete with the post
Office department in carrying mail
able matter-and that is no mean
share of the express fousiness-they
are breaking this law.
Whoever shall establish any pri-
vate express for the conveyance Of
letters or packets, or in any manner
cause or provide for the conveyance
to the same by regular trips or at
stated periods over any post route
which is or may be established by
law, or from any city, town or place
to any other city, town or place be-
tween which the mail is regularly
carried. or whoever shall aid or as
sist therein, shall be fined not more
than $500 or imprisoned not more
than six months or both.
Provided, that nothing, contained
in this section shall be construed as
prohibiting any person from recely-
ing and delivering to the nearest
postofice, postal car or other author
lied depository for mail matter any
mail matter properly stamped"
You may wonder why the law has
not been forced against the express
companies. Not long ago the
United States circuit court dis
missed suit brought under this law
by Nathan B. Williams, OF Fayette-
Vile, Ark, on the ground that pri-
waite citizen had no right to bring
suit against the express companies
for operating against the law over
the post roads; such suit, said the.
court, could be brought only by the
Ihereupo P. R. Howard, Of Gin
brought pressure on the at
torney general to act against the ex-
press companies. The answer was
the following statement, issued by
the Department OF Justice:
THE department has made a very
complete study OF the proposition
and agrees with Mr.. williams on the
law, except as to the one point,
namely, that there has been ar ad-
construction against the
proposition for. over forty years,
and the chances are that suit will
be DEBATED on that ground"
Our government, ignoring the
newer statute, takes the position of
by administrative con-
'truction," what is supposed to be
he popular will.

ut is stated that one matter dis
eussed at the Democratic city COM
.mfttee meeting last night was what
tosdo with the temperance element
in order to get some OF the whiskey
vote. The sense Of some OF the
members OF the committee was that
ends must be worked against the
middle this year II any showing is
TO be nlde. AS stated by the Of
aicial mouthpiece day or two ago
there is to be no public alliances
but things are to be workek in secret.
The idea is to fool both sides If pos
sible the same as the party fooled
the npople last fall, when 1t cried
aloud against the special interests
only to send two Of their representa-
lives to the United States Senate
and to be dictated through the
Legislature absolutely by those in

A. A.

There was no snow on the other sidv of the Alaska range; and sonl9 of the roadhouses were short of supplies on that account, He thinks it probable enough snow has fallen for sledding by this time, however.
