STRGYING FROM THE OLD THEORIES

Slowly we as a nation drifting away from
some of the fundamental principles around which
the constitution was written, and re-vamping in
minor ways here and there the platform the origi
nal thirteen states provided upon which to build
this nation. but our actual statutory and consti
tutonal departures are fewer than those display
ed in the political discussions and theories of the
day
To have suggested the direct election of
atore when the federal constitution was written
would have produced the same effect waving
a rcd flag in front of bull, but yet we all-or
nearly a-havp accepted this new theory and
endorsed it as bringing about needed govern
mental reform. We appreciate that the changed
conditions Of our time demand it and we favor it.
In many smaller ways in our state as well as
our national governments, we are departing from
the old theories and i'll the departing believe we
arr making governments more responsive to
the popular will and therefore more nearly like
the ideal republic, and we are constantly discuss
ing theories which we may some day enact
into law. Thus we have the suggestion for the
presidential primary, presented by the president
himself and advocated in the platform adopted
by the Democrats of this state. There, too,
find declaration in favor of the recall of Judges
an unheard-of theory only few years ago. and
a request for federal child labor law.
And this last bring us to marked change in
our attitude toward the federal government, more
marked among Democrats than all others because
it is a step away from the ongestablished states
rights doctrine 1t is striking example, then, of
the extent to which the newer natonalistic theory
has gained ground among the people and atten-
ton is called to it for that and other
We coming to look upon ourselves as nation
in all the Gazing of that word union in which
state boundaries are being eliminated in many
respects, where the federal government is coming
to be the dominant government, and not as con-
federation in which the federal government ex-
listed by virtue of the consent of all the states and
in which the states were dominant. The extent
Of the influence of this theory is best illus
trated, repeat, when find it officially
ognized by the Democrats of one of the states.
What will the new theories bring us? What,
particularly, will the straying from the states
rights principle means to the Democratic party?
The future holds the answer. Personally, the
newer nationalstic theory has always appealed
to us more strongly in many particulars than the
cid states rights doctrine.

alarming proportions. Several bandd
associated with the noted outlaw
White Wolf are ravaging sections o.
the country, numbering and robbins
the people and burning their property.
The latest exploit OF the bandits
was the massacre of 300 townsfolk
who we're resisting their entrance in
to an important market town close
to Slang Yang Flu, province Of Hupen.
Seven-tenths Of the town was burned
and the population ruined financially.
On the occasion of the recent sack.

nan, the local troops were command
ed by a general, formerly a noted bri
gand chief, who was given his army
appointment during the recent revo

deal with the situation are inadequate
and there is every prospect of tn
development of brigandage to dimen
sions beyond its control.
The revolutionary element is stil
strong throughout the country. Al
rests and executions are frequent
The entire northern army will short
ly be employed in the suppression G

al Thatcher, Sunday, A. w. WINS,
Mormon apostle, who was in charge
of the Mormon colonies in Mexico up

international law does not require
a country to treat foreigners better
than it treats its own people," he

are clamoring for a war that would
cost thousands of lives Because for

not fight such a war; it is not big
enough. The ill-clad Mexican soldiers
are patriotic and they would resent

have resented such an interference in

GOVERNMENT PREPARING FOR

Reports OF the Threatened Arrest Of
Sir Edward Carson, and Other Lead
o. unlonlsts, Who Made Ora
matte Exit From House.

London-Grave events are impend,
ing in Ulster. according to the Union
list newspapers, and a rumor Is cur
rent that the government Is prepar.
ing for the military occupation OF the
province. There are indications that
a crisis has been reached.
A vote OF censure on the British
government. which wal moved in the
house Of commons by Andrew Bonar

jected on Thursday, 345 to 252. Arthur
J. Baifour. summoned by Mr.. Law
made a hurried return from the RI
viera and arrived In London In time
TO participate In the division.
There were reports also OF the
threatened arrest Of Sir Edward Car
son and other leaders OF the Ulster
Unionists, but It was officially de
clared there was no truth in the state
ment that warrants had been signed
for such arrests. Sir Edward Carson,
however. made a dramtic exit from
the house before the debate was con
cluded, to catch a train for Belfast.
Austin Chamberlain declared Thurs,
day night that Sir Edward had been
called away In response to sudden dc.
velopments In Ireland. Other union
lists asserted that the Ulstermen can
no longer be restrained from an out
break and that sir Edwards mission
is to endeavor TO hold them in check,
The Daily Telegraph's lobbyist
says: UNLESS all omena are false,
blood will be split in Ulster before
the house of commons sees Sir Ed
ward Carson again.

Members Of the Dorset Regiment
Throw Down Arms When Notified
They are to be Transferred

London-A mutiny Of two compan'

toned in Belfast is reported by the
Pail Mall Gazette.
The Pail Mall Gazette's message
saws. when the men of the First
battalion of the Dorsetshire regiment
were paraded in Belfast Saturday and
notified that they were being trans
ferred elsewhere, they threw down
their arms. A sergeant stepped for
ward. saluted the officers and said:
I'VE will have no home rule here.

to be an exaggerated version OF the
reports of unrest among the regular
troops in Ulster.
