The Richards primary law, which has
been approved by the voters of the
State by majority of over twenty thou
sand, is radical change from our pres
ent primary law and while many may
not like the new law they had better get
a copy and study its provisions for it is
likely to be into effect for some time. A
report comes that movement is on foot
TO amend some sections of the new law
and repeal other sections at the coming
session of the Legislature but it is very
doubtful whether the Legislature has
any power to touch this law. In the
State constitution the people reserve to
themselves the right to propose such
laws as they see fit and submit them to
the vote of all the electors for approval.
That was Just what was done in this
case. The Richards hill was presented
to the Legislature of 1911 backed by an
initiative petition of over eight thou
sand names and was directly submitted
to the voters, who overwhelmingly APP
proved it. As the Gazette sees it, the
only power that can now amend or re-
peal the Richards law is the voters
themselves. The legislature may pro-
pose changes but they will have to be
submitted to the people at the next
election before going into effect 80 that
it is certainty that the law in its pres
ent form will be tried out at the 1914
primary election.-Wasta Gazette.

We are sometimes led to wonder if
the wander lust is not disease. Those
afflicted with it never seem to wholly
recover from the attack. Good citizens
and good neighbors they are bat when
the spirit moves them to move they can
see nothing good in their surroundings,
but are impelled to seek new scenes and
new associations regardless of their ma
terial surroundings. Such have been
the pioneers of every country and every
section. Civilization and social re.
straint seems to chafe their spirit of wild
freedom and impel them still further
upon the rough trail of the advance
guard of on marching progress. Per
haps such spirits are necessary to ma
tional growth. lfso God speed them on
their mission.

and that the rates are excessive and un.
necessary, Judge Shirley, of the San
CANON circuit court at Springfield, Ill.,,

tition for an injunction was fled by four
leading members of the organization, P.
E. Taintor, James NJ. Brown, James II
