But Is That AlI7

a little dreaming by the way,
a little toiling day BY day.
A little pain, little strife.
A little joy-and that is life
A short-lived feeting summers morn
When happiness seems newly born,
When one days sky is blue above,
And one bird sings--and that is love.
A little wearying Of the years.
The tribute OF a few hot tears,
Two folded hands. the fainting breath
And peace at last-and that is death.
Just dreaming, loving, dying, so
The actors in the drama go;
A fitting picture on a wall,
Love. death. the themesi But Is itailf

THERE seems to be mo- q oubt that

THERE seems to be no doubt that
the prfmary-electton system is soon to
be the vital question to come before
the American people for SETTLEMENT.
In the state of Wisconsin last sum-
mer Congressman La Toilette was
before the republican state con-
vention as a candidate for republican
nominee for governor. The basic
principle of his platform was the
primary election in place Of the caucus
and the convention. He won SO
easily in the caucuses that before the
state convention met all opposition to
him melted away. A part of the
republican platform in the state OF
Wisconsin Is paragraph pledging the
members of the party elected to the
legislature In favor Of statutory pro-
vision providing for the primary and
doing away with the caucus and the
capVentiQn. And why is the reform
not good one? Under the primary
law the rank and file Of the different
parties attend an election on certain
day and vote for the men whom they
candidates. The election is held un-
der the Australian system, and every
voter is guaranteed secret ballot.
Can anything be fairer? Let us- see
how it is under the system. in vogue.
At present the fact that a man or men
is the choice of the voters Of his party
In a county or other minor political
subdivision IS no sign that be will
receive a nomination at the hands Of
the representatives of his party in
convention assembled. II everything
has been fair and abpyeboard in the
caucus and the delegates assemble on
convention day-even then there is no
certainty that the choice or choices Of
the party voters will 60 on the ticket
/ A certain candidate may be preferred
for . certain Office by at least two
thirds of the conventions; but each
precinct, perhaps, has fayorite son.
For him they are willing to make any
sort Of combination, regardless Of
their first choice for the other Offices,
and, II enough other precincts have
favOrite sons, a combination Is formed
that launches Il ticket that is really
not the choice of the voters of the
county or other subdivision. !. Now,
the statutory primary law will remedy
all this and allow the voters Of party
to have the entire s'say" In the settle
ment OF the question as to who their
candidates are to be. It would hardly
seem possible that any honest voter or
politician could find a reasonable OBJ
lection to the adoption Of the pro,
posed system.

A RECENT decision by Judge Winches-
ter sset the Enforcement League to
thinking. Heretofore the league has
mad the privilege of sending lnen to
prison under the alleged provisions of
the prohibition law, without trial by

they pleased with the finances Of the

of alleged infractions of their pet hob

There is a firm Of attorneys in Grand
Forks-Messrs. B0sard s. Bosard-re-
ferred to by some as Buzzard g. Buz-
zard-whO have gone into various
counties and stirred up many prohibit
tion lawsuits regardless of the initia-
tory move of the states attorney of the
county. That's the way they were do-
ing In Morton county until the Ques-
tion was brought before Judge Win
chester, who put aquietus on The prac-
tice by holding that the law does not
authorize such action by local or out
side attorneys unless the complaint
in the case is Endorsed by the states
attorney of the county or the attorney
general. And the best of it all is
That many Of the leading lawyers of
the state claim that Judge Winchester
is clearly within the law in his decis-
ion. Should the supreme court
affirm the. ruling the emissaries Of
the enforcement League will not
hereafter be allowed to 60 into
counties and pretty nearly bankrupt

overwhelming majority Of the tax
payers of the county are opposed to
the prohibition and all other sump-
tuary laws.

SillS," anu the FARMER, meClanlC ana
laborer of the north were classcd by
the southern slaveholdipg democracy
with what were termed by them the
"po' white trash" of the south. The
south was opposed to the republican
party when the slaves were freed, and
the democrats in congress were almost
unanimous in their opposition to the
homestead law, the greatest blessing in
the way Of legislation that the work.
ing people of this country have had
since the nation was founded. The
south having slavery up to the time of
EurQpe-who abhorred slavery in any
form-prefarred to settle in the north
ern and western states. For this and
other reasons the percentage of fforeign-
born citizens is very .Ow III the south.
And one who has, like the writer.
lived in one of the slave states both
before and after the abolition of slav-
cry, knows the apti-foreign feeling is
found in the south to greater degree
than anywhere else in this country.
1t has been the claim made by the old
time Confederates rightalOng that the
South couldn't have been conquered
had it, not been for the German and
Irish immigrants who enlisted in large
numbers and helped to fight the bat
ties Of the Union. So, after the pres,
idential conflict was ended in 1896,
and Bryan and his numerous "isms''
were defeated by large popular vote
the foreign-born citizens voting
largely with the republican party
Senator Jones was disgusted and an
cry, and he went down into his home
state of Arkansas-where the percent
age of illiteracy is higher than in al
most any state in the Union, and
the proportion of foreign born citi-
zens small-and spoke in the following
strain regarding that class of voters
which he knew had contributed large
ly to the defeat Of Bryan. Now, re-
member that this is no campaign
yarn regarding Senator Jones, but
the remarks were published at
the time they were made by the
newspapers of the country and were
forwarded to the various city dailies
Of the United States as 4 part OF the
regular routine report Of the asst,ci-
ated Press correspondents. Neither
was it story started by some one who
heard somebody say that some one had
told him that he had heard some one
say THAT somebody remarked that le
had heard Senator Jones state *, and
so. On the contrary, the remarks were
made in public, in a speech before Il
joint session of the Ar kansas legisla-
ture (the state senate and house of
representatives), ON the night Of
Wednesday, January 20, 1887. The
remarks were as follows:
Hundreds Of thousands of ignorant
foreigners. who were here taking
bread out of the mouth Of honest
labor, voted at the last election at the
dictation OF McKiniey's supporters,
These foreigners comprised fully one
half Of the lumber Of votes received
by Mckinley. Can there be any doubt
as to which will prevail, the six and
one-half millions OF intelligent Bryan
voters, or the three aud one-halt
millions Of ignorant foreigners who
voted for McKinley?'
