Primary Election Reform.

Bismarck Tribune: Upon the expe-
rience Of the scores of candidates for
nomination for Office depends the fate of
the present primary election law in Min
nesota. Inasmuch as the question of cleo
ton reform method will be up in the
forthcoming session of the North Dakota
Legislature the trial of the Minnesota
system in this campaign will be watched
with unusual interest by the people Of
this state. At the present time. public
sentiment in our sister state is not very
pronounced. If anything, it seems that
the advocates of radical change in the
caucus system are in the great minority
and that the Minnesota law is likely to
be modified along the lines of simplicity
and perhaps abolished entirely, so far as
its application to the rural district is
concerned. Thomas H. Shevlin, Mime
sota's member of the republican national
committee, says the primary election law
must be repealed or there will be no re-
publican party in Minnesota. The Com
mercial West OF Minneapolis believes
the next legislature will be called upon
BY public sentiment to repeal the pri-
mary law because Of its ineffciency, and
believes its unconstitutionality a phase
of the question that is for courts and not
for papers to pass upon. Continuing,
the Commercial West says: 1.-THE con
stitution of the United States is based on
majority rule. There were eight candi-
dates for n Office in Henepin county
two years ago. The man nominated re-
ceived only a small part of the total vote,
but because he received more than any
one of the other seven, he was nominal
ed by a majority as against three-fourths
vote against him. In a nominating con-
v~ention the number OF candidates for an
office rarely exceeds three, and the
nominee usually receives a majority over
all; but where this does not occur the
majority idea practically prevails, so
nearly so that 10 disproportionate ma
jority is DISTINGUISHED, as occurs under
the primary law. The primary law is a
disturter. In the city of Minneapolis
the great republican party is without an
acceptable candidate for mayor because
no n cares to take the chance ofdefeat
when left at the mercy of an morgan
lied and undirected mass of voters. The
political convention has its faults, but as
the world is not ideal yet in any Of its
working divisions, it will be we'll if we
do not undertake to reform the old-time
majority rule caucus by wiping it out.
W. believe that in politics, as in other
things, we are stronger when growth de-
velop US rather than by a single leap.

They Have Queer Ideas Over There.

Bishop Stanley is now visiting in
Rome. One of the newspapers of that
city, speaking of his arrival said: Mgr.
Stanley is the true type of the American
ecclesiastic OF the "opening century,
Accustomed to dwell in the distant prai'
ries of Dakota. where wranglings among
the Cowboys" are the order Of the day,
where Indians yet enjoy to the full their
primitive liberty. Mgr. Stanley would
never convey the idea of occupying an
important position in the Catholic HE

FEARLESS AND INDEPENDENT,

FEARLESS AND INDEPENDENT.
The Chicago Record-Herald is a
conspicuous example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless non-
partisanship in the columns of a great
metropolitan daily paper. 1t is an indie
pendent newspaper, in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint Of the public good
and not from that of the interests of any
particular political party. 1t is the very
reverse of neutral-fearless and outspok-
en- on all the great questions of the day,
but presenting its editorial opinion upon
independent judgment and entirely re-
gardless of political affiliations. Parti,
sanship is barred as strictly from the ed
itorial page. All political news is given
without partisan coloring, thus enabling
the reader to form correct conclusions
for himself. In the ordinary partisan
newspaper political news is ordinarily
colored to such an extent as to make it
difficult if not impossible for the reader
to secure a sound basis for intelligent
judgment.

a LESSON IN agoMlETRY.

Easily, Demonktrnta0W lt1a q Wood
en- Ball and Pieces OF Cord.
There are some propositions IN matii.
ematics that we can prove with perfect
accuracy without making use Of fg-.
ures. There. for example, Is that well
known theorem OF plane geometry
the surface Of sphere is equal to four
times the surface OF a great circle.
That reads as II we were going to give
you something dry and uninteresting.
but read on and you will ind It Just
the other way, for we are going to tell
you how you may prove that PROPOSE
don with a croquet ball and piece OF
cord.
The croquet bail is a sphere. and the
section made in 1t by passing . plane
through its center is a great circle.
The radius Of the great circle, there
fore, is exactly equal to the radius OF
the sphere.
Now, saw the ball through the center.
thus dividing 1t into two ihemispheres.
and, laying one Of them on the table.
with the fiat part down, drive q snail
nail in the center Of the round or up
per part. TO the nail tie the end Of a
cord, and then wind the cord around
the nail and the rounded surface Of the
half ball until this surface is entirely
covered by the cord. Cut the cord
where you stop winding.
Then take the other half of the ball
and drive q small nail in the center Of
its fat part. tying to the nail n piece of
cord exactly like the piece first used.
and wind It around the nail splrally.
pressing it down SO that It will lie fat
on the surface Of the circle. Cut the
cord when the surface of the circle is
entirely covered, and when you COM
pare the two cords you will find that
the piece first used is exactly twice as
long as the second.
This proves TINT the surface Of a
hemisphere is equal to twice the sur
face of great circle and that there
fore the surface Of whole sphere is
equal to four times the surface Of
great circle.
So that we demonstrate nm important
theorem Of geometry simply by using
ball and cord.-New York Herald.

Plenty of Nuts in Market

Practically all kinds cf nuts are now
: n market, so. with figs, raisins and
dates, one has everything necessary to
make I'D the little side dishes for the
table. The housekeeper is apt to think
of these things as being on hand at any
ltime she may want them. but this is
mot the case. as there are times when
she cannot possibly get them.
This is the season when they are
Freshest and best, for they are all new.
The raisins are the latest arrival of all,
they have only been in market a very
short time and cost 25 cents a pound
Dates. too, are quite new and their
price is only 10 cents a pound.
Among the nuts there are filberts
pecans. English walnuts and cob nuts
very fine almonds, from California
and even some chestnuts left, although
there are not many of the latter NOW
I One special delicacy is the square figs
(which come in market later than the
fiat ones, but are now found in quite
large quantities at % cents a pound
They are most delicious just now
when they are new.
