This is not much of a stride toward the prop- osition for a man with as long legs as our friend Wood-| row. Under present arrangements the terms of ad-| ministrative officers are comparatively short, so that they can be recalled at regular elections with consid- erable promptness. The terms of such officers are, as a rule, shorter than those of judges whose selection entrusted to the people. ae : : However, in favoring recall of administrative offi- cers Wilson commits himself to the principle and we want to call his attention to certain indisputable facts and apparent conditions, in order that he may consider |... he wisdom of extending this principle which he endorses | to points where it will be most effective.

It can annul the acts of congress. It can, | and in our time it has, usurped the power of legisla-| tion. It can and does say what the constitution is and what it shall be. Death alone, practically, changes its f personnel or alters its hold upon its mighty power. It may even give final decision as to the right of the peo-| ple to recall administrative officers. We would respectfully ask" Brother Wilson what) there is for the people in the recall minus the recall of the judiciary. Is it the intention to restore to the| people full power for self-government, or only sufficient } power to carry issues up to a court that i absolutely autocratic?

This was a frame-up, put through | carried up to the supreme court for the express pur pose of securing from that high tribunal an opinion that siavery was a national institution author ized by the U. §. constitution, and that neither the U. 8. congress nor any territorial legislature bad the legal right to exclude slavery from any territory of the United States. This decision or opinion was re jected in toto by the republican party. It was sustained by the southern wing of the democratic party. John ©. Breckenridge, their candidate for the presidency in 1860, delivered a speech before the legislature of Kentucky at Frank fort In Dec. 1869. In this speech he expresses himself as follows 1 bow to the decision of the supreme court of the United States upon ery question within its pre jurisdiction, whether it corresponds with my private opinion or not; only I bow a ifle lower when it appears to do so, as the decision of the Dred Scott case does. The election of Abraham Lincoin in 1860 was an emphatic protest against that decision. Now how can anyone who voted for Lincoln in 1860 consistently vote for Taft in 19127 LEVI WRIGHT. Editor Seattle Star: On the upper left corner of the front page of your last evening paper I noticed that you Invited your readers to inform you when they pleased or displeased with the contents of your paper; and I am taking the liberty of addressing you for the purpose of informing you that I am not satisfied with the way you and Dr. Matthews have left that question, “Who Shall Marry?” In your reported interview with Dr. Matthews and in your recent editorial you and he have either overlooked or failed to mention what I consider one of the most important things to be required be fore permitting people to marry; viz: & reserve or an emergency fund acquired through the indi vidual fndustry and economy of the young man applying for a mar- riage license. In addition to feeble-minded and diseased mem- bers of society the right to marry I believe thut you will agree that the man seeking a marriage li- cense should be required to show that he is capable of earning and saving money. I believe that the law should go so far as to demand that every man wishing to marry be required to prove that he has saved from money earned by his own labor at least $1,000-—not denying to the Pineh has b jot bim.

This law should ap ply to the sons of rich and poor alike. It would mean, in substance, that every man would be required to prove himself a real man, fit to marry and become a father by showing that he was physteally able to perform hard, manuat-te- bor, and that he possessed suffi clent willpower to save from his small earnings the regulation $1,000, necessary for a start in life on bis own resources. The man who marries with noth ing more than an uncertain job, a month's rent and enough to pay the preacher—the man who gets married “on a shoo atring” is us ually an irresponsible chap, and tt is almost a sure thing that in a few years ho will be perfectly willing to have his children remain it of school to help earn the liv ing while he has a good time play ing pea-pool, drinking beer or talk ing polities The children of parents who do not acquire the habit of industry and economy before marriage are not usually well born, and such children are, as a rule, foroed to surmount difficulties which never should have bs placed in thetr way; therefor I contend that nefther the rich nor the poor men’s sons should be permitted to marry before they have demonstrated their physical fitness for continued hard iabor and the staying quali ties necessary to keep them at it until they have saved that one thousand dollars. Under the present go-ns-you please, chidren take-care-of-them selves - and - help - take-care-of-the parenjs system, the sons of the poor marry with no reserve funds and become breeders of paupers and slaves, and the sons of the rich marry and breed wasteful parasites. Under thé present system we have as the results of marriages the slave-producers and the parasite wasters, and an increasing number of divorces; so, I believe that while you and Dr, Matthews are settling this “Who Shall Marry” question you should put that $1,000-reserve fund clause into your outline for a aw, 5 With such a law itn force, it would not take long for the now wasteful, nonproducing sons of the rich to reasdze that a shorter work day and a liberal minimum wae scale 1s an absolute necessity, Wi, such a law in force, it would be the proper toing for a young lady who had learned the A B C's of housekeeping, and was ready to get married, to ask her suitor cto show his work hands and to prove to her that he had earned and saved his $1,000, Such a law would plgee the gambling and drinking Jdferp in a less harmful class by thogp selves and would insure to the cén- ing generation the right kinder parents, point of! @ PF ont A COMPLIMENT ANALYZED Marie--Hans saya I grow pret ler every day Gretehen—How horrid of him, Marie? don't wee that, Gretehen—-Look what a fright he makes out you were at the stalt!
