Do Your Duty, next Saturday.

The matter of abolishing the of
fees of county assessor and county
commissioners has been brought be-
fore several meetings of the chair
men of the various townships who
lave lately been holding some SPLEEN

OF course, no feasible way could
be found to bring about the desir-
ed change for the simple reason that
such change can be made only
through legislative enactment. The
township organizations can no more
abolish the office of county assess
or or GUST the three county commits
s.uners than they can abolish the,
office of governor of the state OF
that of president OF the United
States.
The place to bring about needed
reforms is at the ballot box on No

All Law that Is Sound must Spring
from the Actual Experience
of Men.

Judge VIM. f. Richardson, of Spo-
kane. student of political economy,
thoroughly versed iV matters pertain
ing to good government, and an old
personal friend of The Tribune, has
a series of short articles appearing
in the Spokane Spokesman-Review, up
on the relation of practical politics to
good business. Judge Richardson
has always maintained spirit of in
dependence in politics that qualities
him to discuss such questions with
out prejudice or party spirit. The
articles that are to follow will be a
discussion of the trusts, railroads and
the problem of the unemployed.
The first article of the series here
follows:
The fundamental error of modern
politics is the idea that our industrial
system can be reformed by the mere
fiat of the legislative power, or that
an ideal system can be invented and
given the breath of life by mere ar,
bitrary power.

made.

and the mill. from the factory and the
farm from the counting house, from
the marts of trade and from the ar
teries of commerce.
They are those rules and principles
which are born from the common en-
perience of mankind
The function of the law-making
power is to give form and expression
to the rules and principles that rep
resent the industrial progress of the
race.
The legislator is not law maker.
He is law Trainer
The legislative authority simply
puts the power of the state behind n
principle that has been discovered to
be law of business development.

istry. or of astronomy, or of biology.
He discovered them.

the following amendment: That

election Gnstead of a MAJORITY OF
the votes cast on the amendment
must be in favor on an initiative con

adopt the same

of the people of the state as any I'M
der consideration at the last ses-
sion of the state legislature, and
Senator Paulhamus was factor in
its defeat.
The farmers of the state believe
that when an employee fails to make
good they are justified in dispensing
nth such employees services. They
also believe that the same theory
should apply TO public servants.
The Tribune at this time makes
reference to this important matter
for the reason that Governor Hay
and some of the senators named. a.

ers. They failed TO make good in
the matter of this amendment.
To require 60 per cent of all
votes cast at the election rather thai
majority of those cast on the
measure would render practically
impossible the initiative on consti-
tutional amendments. and We would
ask the voters how this corresponds
with Theodore Roosevelt's plan to

true. 1t must spring up from the
actual experience of men in the busy
affairs of life.
The common law of England existed
for centuries before il was ever writ
ten in books. but it was good. sound
law, and that which is still adapted 20
modern industrial life is still alive.
If. therefore. the law of the land is
the authoritative expression of the
principles that guide the people in
their Industrial life it must keep pace
with the progress and development OF
the business of the country.
But here is the great difficulty with
the science of law making.
The law becomes fixed and stable.
and by reason Of our familiarity with
its form of statement, We become
ayerse to change.
This is to some extent commend
able
The law must for time remain
fixed in form. otherwise it were in
capable of enforcement. But as civiliZ-
alton advances and our industrial life
reaches a more complete development
there comes a necessity for a cor
responding change in the law. and be-
cause we have failed TO see the neces-
sty for a constant improvement in the
law We find the pathway of progress
strewn with dead statutes which serve
only to obstruct and hinder our indus
trial development.
But dead statute. that is. one that
has become obsolete, is not merely
useless lumber. 1t is still in legal eff
feet: it has the power of the state be-
hind it. 1t has ceased to function for
good and therefore it must needs do
harm.
Such laws prevent the free play and
operation of the business activities
of the people. because in that sphere
there is no standing still.
Business panics, industrial depres-
sions. hard times; these are always
not sometimes-but always the result
of bad laws, either arbitrary laws that
we have attempted to impose upon tho
business world, laws that did not fit.
or those that at some former period
may have had force and vitality. but
have become outgrown or obsolete,
1t is idle TO say that overspeculatior
or extravaganza or any other such
thing ever causes industrial panics.
Hard times come upon us because
We have bungled the-business OF gov

l want to state this as strongly rs
possible.
Business prosperity is the natural
condition. The lack of ii shows that
our business laws are out of harmony.
1t is because of the rapid growth aud
development of our industrial system
within the last few years that the lack
of harmony between the actual laws ot
business and the law of the land has
brought us TO the verge of political
chaos. Not that this is n bad thing In
itself. 1t is really a hopeful sign OF
progress.

non-partisan way some of the serious
questions that are now pressing for

Unless the political tricksters and

clave with corporation hirelings to
dictate the nominations for state ant
county offices-are successful, John

Coming events cast their shadows
before. The money interests and
the big daily newspapers want Mr.
Lawrence defeated. There's rea-

of clean and honest government. In

Must Stand on their Records.

In seeking political preferment
candidates for nomination for and
election to public office should in
great measure be judged by their
previous records in official life. One
of the most important, if not the
most important, measure before the
people of the state of Washington
at this time is the adoption Of a
constitutional amendment giving to
the people the initiative and refer
endum, a measure which in the past
has been quite fully discussed In
these columns.

lature House Bill No. so, granting
to the people the right to amend the

Satisfaction

A certain man was called upon to
nav a bill for which he had issued a
check several months before. He
turned to his file of paid checks and
found the one issued in this particular
case. There was the date, the a
mount, the name Of the party paid
and his Endorsement showing receipt
for the money. The evidence given
by the check settled the dispute at
once. If you have check book in

right change, for you can make out

THE REPUBLICANS UNEASY.

The Frederick News, in an article
last week stated that in Frederick
county there appears to be a decid-
ed sentiment for the nomination OF
Theodore Roosevelt a. the Republi-
can candidate for President. The
Examiner, or Frederick, which il the
Republican organ Of the county, has
declared it's preference for either
Roosevelt or Hughes.
The truth OF the matter IL that the
Republicans are getting more and
more uneasy over the outcome of
this years election, and while many
of them would rather see Taft re-
nominated than Roosevelt vet they
seem To feel that Teddy's one time
popularity will help the party along
more than Taft.
They will see as the weeks go by
that nothing j. going to help them
along very much for there il Q

SELLING LIQUOR no MINORS.

An important decision has been
handed down in Kentucky with ref
erence to the sale or liquor to min
ors. A saloon-keeper had sold liquor
to a child who, by drinking ii, be
came intoxicated. Through the moth
er a suit for damages for $4,000 was
brought against the saloon-keeper.
Judge Thomas R. Gordon of the Cir
cult Court gave the opinion, holding
that saloonkeeper who sells liquor
to minor, not only subjects himself
to a fine and to a loss of his Ii
cense, but in addition, is liable to a
civic suit for damages This seems
to b. a good law, and it il possible
that liquor selling to minors will b.
increasingly dangerous hereafter.
Midas Criterion, in commenting on
this decision, says that the one infal-
lible defense that the saloon keeper
can offer against I'll such suits il the
refusal To sell IT'D minors. In this the
people will most heartily concur.
Make liquor selling to minors too
dangerous for any saloon-keeper to
do it.-Kansas City Leader.

WAsHINGTON,S BIRTHDAY.

It is fitting thing that the peo-
ple OR this country should celebrate,
in proper way, the birth Of George
Washington, the Father OF his Coun-
try" He was born in Westmoreland
county, Virginia, February ~, 1872,
and was the son Of Augustine Wash
Engton, Virginia Planter. Although
1t is $50 years since the birth OF
Washington and nearly lib years
since his death, having died at Mount
Vernon, December 18th, 1893 IT,
name and hi fame are r. fresh in
the minds Of this generation Of Amer
icans,as any OF the generations which
have preceded it.
The great and lasting hold that
Washington has upon the hearts of
the people, II first OF all, that IT, was
great Military Commander and con-
Quoted the American Revolution I'M
der great difficulties, to successful
issue. But the people Of our country,
or all classes, high and low, rich and
poor, especially revere hi memory,
because Of his unselfish patriotism He
always regarded his country above
his private interests, and no promo
ton, was sufficient TO turn his head
it, was high type of true, loyal
American, and I'll the people, OF ev-
cry class, and condition, 80 regard
him.
There is not, we believe, man,
woman or child, in the country To-
day, who does not regard, with tender
affection, the memory of George
Washington.
And it is a good thing to hold up
such a character to the young men
of the present generation, charact-
er that stands for honor, for patriotism
and especially for unselfishness. He
lis entitled to the splendid tribute
that was paid to him years ago, by a
distinguished Virginian, a. being,
First in war, first i'm peace, and
first in the hearts OF his countrymen."

La FeLLETTE,s MIND.UP.

The downfall of La Toilette as a
victim OF hi own abnormal habits Of
sneering, snarling, growing and O.
nouncing,is q sensational instance Of
the mischief which Presidential
candidate may do himself through
excessive CAB. But it also may serve
to invite attention to the eXtraordi-r
nary amount OF political speedily
ing of one kind or another that has
been going on for months past, long
in advance of the Presidential cam
paign. With the exception of Gov
ernor Harmon, who appears To b.
regularly attending to his official
business as Governor Of Ohio, all
the other candidates or POSSIBLE
ties" both Republican and Democrat
ic, have long been in an almost con-
tinuous state of verbose eruption
with their jaws or their pens. Tt
would not be a bad thing if the
country could have rest for a while
from this incessant flow of speeches,
touring, post-prandial and otherwise
we have the Presidential campaign
itself still ahead of us for four or
five months of key notes" and

than that taken by the theatre man

fractions on that day. His services
