How About the Registration?

How About the Registration?
1t is held that under the present
State law there are no legal Voters
until they are registered, and that
the effect goes so far even as to bar
participation in a primary election,
We doubt the force of the last propo.
sitiOn, because the constitutional
provision was that the Legislature
should pass law on this subject,
and as the legislature failed to do
this at its hast session, the provision
fails inits fufl force until there is some
law by which it can be applied. In
Other words, II seems to- us nothing
but common sense that the old law
should apply until there is a new one
to follow.
We see by the papers that Senator
John c. Ryan has written to the gov
trnof asking that when he calls an
extra session of the Legislature, that
he authorize the registrars of the
country parishes to make registra-
ton this year. The suggestion of
the Senator is a good one, and we
think this proposal should be met
with seconds en- ah sides. II some
such relief is rot afforded by the extra
session Of tie legislature, matters are
likely to be somewhat complicated,
and the voters will hardly understand
their status in time to take intelligent
part in the election which comes of
m April. -.

The Democrats of Grant ought to
harmonize and line up and get con-
troll of this parish: In order to do
so we ought to nominate for clerk of
the district court d citizen of Pollock,
or at least a man who is identified
with the citizens of that hustling
town, and who ID altogether accepta-
BILE to them. Such a man, coming
with the support of his neighbors,
will get the support Of the regular
old line Democrats in the other por.
tons of the parish, and be elected
without a. struggle. believe MIR.
Swafford shotild be our candidate for
sheriff. He was born and raised near
the central portion of the parish, and
he and his father before him are well
known to all the old families far and
near.
Our candidate f0f representative
should come from Montgomery or
Pollock. The court house question
will of course cut some figure in the
nomination of representative; and l,
for one; am of the opinion the repre-.
sentative ought to be instructed ON
that issue at the election. The voters
ought to have an opportunity to ex-
press themselves either for or against
removal when they vote for represen.
tative. If two-thirds of them favor
removal, the representative is then
instructed to secure the passage of a
bill to that effect. And II on the con-
trary less than two-thirds 6f the vo-
tiers favor removal, then the repre-:
sentative is instructed to oppose the
removal: VOTER:

When the proposed bounty on pig iron
manufactured in Minnesota was under
discussion in the house one Of the op-
ponents Of that measure stated that it
would be more to the point and of
greater value to have bounty on coke.
Following up this suggestion Repre-
sentative Mallory, of Duluth, has intro
duced bill for bounty of 30 cents a
ton on coke used in the manufacture of
pig iron, limiting the aggregate annual
bounties to 5000 and making the bill
effective for only five years.
Representative Barteau has introduced
duced bill prohibiting any rail
road Incorporated under the
laws of a foreign country from
extending its operations into Minnesota,
except after incorporating here, and
even then it forbids them paralleling
any existing or proposed American line.
It is supposed to be aimed at the Cana
