Primary Law.

The following review shows the
kind of a primary election law
Representative Sorley of Grand
Forks will urge in the forthcom-
ing legislature:
"John A. Sorley of Grand Forks
has prepared a primary election
bill which he will introduce at
the next session of the legislature
and which he believes is a good
measure. The bill contains sew
eral new and important features.
1t provides for the nomination of
United State senator's, members
of congress, state, county and
legislative officers at a primary
election. 1t does not apply to
city officers. Some of its provis-
ions are as follows:
For the election of a national
committeeman for each political
party.
THAT after the first election
under the primary law an elector
must vote the same party ticket
unless he files notice with the town
or city clerk thirty days before
election of his intention to change.
Every candidate must receive
at least the number of votes he had
of names to a petition to get on
the ballot.
1.-Two days after the filing of the
names of the legislative candidates
the secretary of state must mail a
request and pledge to each candi-
date that the member will vote the
choice of his party at the election.
Fifteen days is allowed the candi-
date to reply to the secretary of
state and five days thereafter the
secretary of state must publish in
a newspaper at Bismarck the
names Of all the nominees who
have signed the pledge and those
who have not.
There shall be a review by the
courts when by an affidavit pre-
sented to the district or supreme
courts it is shown by a candidate
that there has been an error or
omission in the count and if upon
recounting the ballots the court
finds that there has been an error
for or omission the candidate
bringing a contest may bring into
his pleadings in the contest the re.
suit of said recount"

IT has not been the intention Of
the Press to try the Phelan Evans
contest in its columns or to give
any information as a matter of
news unfair to either side. Ex-
ception has been taken to the con-
structior put upon the qualifying
of election officers, as mentioned
in a news item last week. Inves-
tigation made this week shows
that the records were certified to
in proper form, but there was some
contradictory evidence given re-
garding the oath administered, etc.
The polls were closed one hour at
noon, contrary to law, and both
sides admit that a considerable
number of illegal votes we're cast.

work of brains," says one. "Educa
ton and knowledge of what science
can do is the only thing that will save
the farm from destruction" says an
other. why should not the farmer
be a man of as well trained brain
power as the lawyers or editors or
clergymen?' asks a third. And so it
goes everywhere schools are being or
ganized, text books are prepared,
teachers are being trained books are
printed, agricultural papers are COM
PEELED to take a more intelligent view
of the topics they discuss. Society in
general has stopped to listen. Con-
gress and state legislatures are busy
enacting laws for the protection of ag-
riculture and the promotion of the
knowledge that shall make it more eff
fective. Scientists are turning their
attention to the farm as a rich field
for investigation and study. Inventors
and mechanicians are hard at work to
tighten and make more perfect its la
Dor. All this great awakening of mind
thought and intelligent purpose has
come to the American farmer, chiefly
in the last quarter of a century. How
does he face the light? What hope
and purpose does all this inspire in
him? These are the questions every
farmer in the land should ask him
self.

The Question of the Hour.
(HOard's Dairyman.)

The ever wasting effects of con.
slant and unwise tillage on our soils
should call for reading, studious
farmer who makes changes for the
better as fast as conditions tend to
the worse. The country and it's flu
ture needs better educated farmers.
men of brain and thought, more than
it needs better lawyers. But of all
classes of society the farmer seems to
be, as class, the least affected by the
desire for improvement. He is so con-
sentative, so fearful of any change of
methods or of judgment, that he does
not see the fearful stream of waste
wasted labor, wasted soil, wasted time
that is going on all about him.
There seems to be tendency in farm
life to accept the motto of the un-
changing Arab: GAS it was, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end"
We believe this is due to the fact that
the business Of farming has been
turned over for ages to class of men
who did not believe that there was
any particular value in mental train
ing, study and special education for
them and their calling.
They did not think schools, teach
ers, books, in word science, could
help them any. And so, for that rea.
son, all the forces of education have
done less for the farm and the farmer
than for any other pursuit. For this
reason, the cultivated classes of So
ciety have looked down on the farmer
as mud-sill of the social fabric. One
of the grandest things for the coun-
try and it's future, is the breaking up
of this crust of intellectual indiffer
ence. This has come within the last
quarter of a century. Farming is

Irritation Makes Markets.

The doubling of the market for the
wares of the manufacturer or merchant
means one of two things; either he
can sell twice the volume of goods, or
he can get much higher prices for the
same quantity. Markets are always
doubled when population doubles. Cut
ting up big estates into small farms
doubles population. Therefore, the
swing of merchants and manufacturers
to the support of the propaganda of
irrigation and the small farm is some
thing easily explained.

Government Aid to Good Roads.

There is being built, under the au-
spices of the Federal government, a
short stretch of macadamized roadway
a few miles south of Seattle, on the
highway between this city and Ia
coma. This roadway is intended as a
sample of what this kind of highway
will be, and as the travel over it will
be heavy the enduring qualities of such
a highway will be well tested. The
manner of construction is simple and
where plenty of crushed rock and a
heavy steam roller can be had the
cost should not be great. Briefly, the
grade having been determined, men
are set to work making the desired
slope from the center of the road, with
drainage ditch at either side. Then
layer of crushed rock, each piece
two to three inches across, is depOS-
tied and the roller passed over sew.
eral times; next a layer of smaller
pieces of rock is provided and the
roller again goes over. A third layer
of rock, no piece more than half an
inch across, is deposited on top and
the whole sprinkled down while the
roller is at work This forms a per-
fectly smooth surface and as the roll
er has driven each successive layer of
rock in and formed solid roadbed the
impression made by the wheels of a
wagon carrying two tons is scarcely
perceptible. How this particular
stretch of roadway will withstand
heavy travel when it is very dry re-
mains to be seen; but it is the asser
ton of the builders that it will remain
hard and smooth in any kind of wealth
er and under any kind of travel.
The Seattle Good Roads association
and the automobile club of this city
are very much interested in ,his trial
roadway. To give the people an Op-
pOrtunity of viewing the road the au
tomobile club week ago took some
two hundred citizens out to the spot
where the work of construction was
going on. The gentleman in charge
of the work was called upon to explain
the manner of construction, and sew
eral of the leading citizens in the
crowd made brief remarks touching
upon the work and the possibilities
opened up between the rural COM
muniues and the cities when it is pos
sible to have such roads as they were
viewing that afternoon. The hope was
expressed that this sample roadway
would prove so satisfactory that all
the counties in Western Washington
would adopt it and build the finest
roadways in the world.

state government. If the bill becomes
a law with the provisions in as drawn
by Mr.. Snow any county may build its
own roads without any system or
scheme and the state will render no
aid but if the county will place the
building of roads for any particular
section under the state then the state
will pay half of the cost of building
the same.
