Another bill in the interests of economy
is that of Senator Hale, repeating the
law creating state military board

The educational interests of the state
have several measures they desire to
have considered by the assembly. and
the first of them hasEbeen introduced in
the shape of an amendment to the old
law establishing a state, high school
board and making an appropriation OF
$4,000 annually for state aid to high
schools. The proposed measure makes
the annual appropriation $4,000 and pro-

bill is in for the repeal of the ap-
preparation of the state for the state fair
at Mandan. Some years ago the state
made an annual appropriation of s1,250
LOT the Mandan fair. Gov. Briggs was
instrumental in securing this state aid
Tor the Mandan display, and with the
Mandan people erected buildings, obtain
ed grounds and gave annual exhibitions
that attracted interest from all parts of
the state. The Indians on the Standing
ROCK reservation were drawn upon for
assistance, and the fair became a YER
liable wild west show, in addition to an
agricultural exhibit. Some other cities in
the state have been jealous of the con-
tinuance of the state, fair at Mandan,
and two years ago Valley City members
endeavored to secure the appropriation
for that town, but the bill lost in the
senate. The urgency of economy In all
possible sources will be urged for the
passage of the repeal bill when it comes
up.
1t does beat all to see the manner here
tofore well fed Republican papers in Lis
bon are carrying on because the board Of
ing deemed it just to give the three Re-
PupIcan newspapers at Sheldon and
Enderlln and the Democratic paper at
Lisbon-the Searchlight-the official conn
ty printing and advertising. AS this ac-
ton was brought about by the two Dem
ocratic members of the board voting with
the Republican member from Sheldon
the Gazette is particularly vicious this
week against the offending member. and
i'm o1Toonc IL;
man One of the choice paragraphs in
this paper emits the following sulphur
eouS fumes:
The Sheldon Enterprise unctiously
remarks that justice has been done,
when, through the rank political treach-
cry of Republican commissioner that
paper is awarded the bulk of the official
printing. Doubtless the British were of
a similar opinion when Benedict Arnold
treacherously betrayed the cause of his
former fellow patriots into their hands.
and yet God dispises a traitor the same
as does mankind ~
Now as matter Of fact Commissioner
Mchnight-the gentleman alluded to--as
always been very friendly to the Gazette
people, and has aided them right along.
Just so long as the pie was freely dis

political goose hung high, but now since

The Lisbon papers have for seventeen
years been fed at the pubic crib viii e

when the time comes they will say so

PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.
Senator Cashers primary election bill.
now before the legislature, says the
Fargo Forum, is radical in its effect. 1t
provides that each precinct shall have
day-one ticket containing all the names
of candidates of all parties shall be
printed in separate columns on the same
ticket. Every voter is entitled to bal
lot-but he must vote for all the candi-
dates of one party. THAT is, he cannot
vote for one Republican, another Demo-
crat, or any candidate of more than one
party. If he sl1ips over from one party
column to another-the ballot is thrown
out. At the head ofHthg ticket is to be
printed in good-sized type-"vote in one
column and for one (politicaD party
only" Judges and Inspectors are select
ed with the same care, as are our pres
ent election oficers.1YNo registration Is
required at this primary election. Candi
dates may have their names written On
the ballot, or stickers may be used. The
vote to be canvassed as. regular ballots
are now. Cities are included. 1t would
be well for these interested to peruse the
bill. Senator Cashel is certainly entitled
to credit fer the labor and thought ex-
pended in preparing it.
