How can you get the public to know

Thayer's Downfall a Warning to Young
Men.

North Dakota Globe: The fate of
Lincoln Thayer, sentenced to twenty
years in the %penitentiary for completely
in train robbery, should be a warning to
young men who imagine they can make a
living without working. Seven years ago
Thayer came to Wahpeton as a hard
working mechanic. He was a first class
mechanic, and was foreman of the con-
structing crew engaged in erecting the
university building. He made good
wages, and was respected for his ability
and intelligence as a mechanic. He
seemed to take great pride in his work
and everyone thought we'll of him. The
next year he was here again. but this
time he was jobbing agent for a brewing
company and was selling beer wherever
he could find customers. Among his best
customers were the keepers of bagnios,
and it was noticed that he spend much of
his time at those places. At the close of
the year he defrauded the brewing COM
pany out of a carload of beer. From
that time Thayer's career seems to have
been devoted to criminal acts, and he
was around here very little until last
spring. when he seems to have made his
headquarters at Breckenridge. A good
many cases of burglary, hold-ups and
and safe blowing have been attributed
to Thayer and his companions since his
arrest, and circumstances seem to point
to his guilt. Thayer has gradually drift
ed from the life of a useful mechanic to
that of a dangerous criminal, and all
through the idea that he could get a liv-
ing without working for it.

It Would Surely Hello.

A correspondent of the Wahpeton Ca
zette closes an excellent article on the
subject of primary election reform with
the following paragraph:
First, it would largely set aside party
tyranny. Any qualified ~elector could
vote at the party primary" but would be
thereby excluded from any and all others
for that year. The registered list Of vot-
ers would be the guide and fraud made
impossible-so common now at some pri-
maries. Candidates for election and
delegates to conventions would be Sc.
lected, necessarily, more on their merits,
than for their obedience to the boss of
the machine. Then no voter being
pledged blindly, each one is free to exer
else his sovereign right at the regular
election. If the man his party dominates
falsifes the platform upon which he
stands, he can choose another; for better
a good man ordinarily, on a platform not
fully satisfactory than a bad man, or
weak man on a plausible but uncoura-
geous platform-meant only to get in on.
The better citizen will employ the pri-
mary more, if he feels that it is not a de.
vice.tQ corral him. The party managers
forced into the open arena, will bid more
for the intelligent citizen with some con-
science behind his vote, if it is probable
that that vote will! 20 elsewhere, AmeFi.
can politics today needs more than any-
thing else, not new parties, but indie
pendent voters, that cannot be brow.
beaten or bought. Indeed the only
guaranty of good government and heal
thy progress lies in the independence of
the intelligent voter. believe a prima-
ny election law would help largely to
this end.
