primary elections. Perhaps the Tri-
bune is equally concerned over the
Herald's failure to indorse the splen-
did ticket that was nominated on that
occasion. Full two weeks have passed
since the convention and yet the Her.
aid has not said it would support
the ticket. Those who are familiar
with the Herald's policy with. respect
to republican tickets of the past are
not surprised at its present attitude.
No one expects that it will endorse
the ticket, and as matter of fact no
straight republican cares whether 1t
does or not. Indeed. they prefer that
the Herald should pursue its usual
course and give the democrats the
benefit of its Observation-Disclosures that
may amount to. ~.
As for the primary election section
OF the platform the republicans of the
StoeS Will uC lOuuU SuOuIueT 10
shoulder in favor of it. The Evening
Times takes the liberty of pledging
the support of genuine republicans,
not only for the ticket, but for every
line of the platform. We favor
proper extension of the primary law,
now that it has been proven to be
success. The Herald and its i'm
mediate following of kickers favored
primary law for the sole purpose
of foisting themselves into power. The
result has been, a sad disappointment
to them. We favor an extension of the
law for the further reason: first, be-
cause we believe that majority of
the people prefer this method of
nominating their officers; and second,
because by this method the people
may express directly their opinion of
the men who are behind such grating
and blood-sucking concerns as the
Herald, which succeeded in fooling a
small portion of the people this year,
but which, after the startling revela-
tons in the matter of printing con-
tract steals and some other things,
can never fool them again.

Pulse of the Press
Its Traitorous Work.
bismarck Tribune.1

Having apparently and for the time
being exhausted its stock of advice to
the republicans of the state. the Grand
Forks Herald is now advising the
democrats as to what they must do at
the forthcoming state convention.
While the Herald, after reviewing the
republican majority at the last cleo
ton In the state, admits there is little
chance for democratic victory, still
1t vouchsafes the information that
there Is no telling what will hap
pen" with the great reform wave
sweeping over the United States.
Down in its Utmost heart the Herald
knows there is about as much chance
OF the democrats carrying North Da-
kota, In the face of the splendid state
administration Of Governor Sarles as
there is of the republicans carrying
Texas.

WORKING A GRAFT.

1t would seem that some of the CITY
mail order houses are making a new
departure in order to hold the trade of
the country people who have been
gradually drifting away from them
during the last few years.
The plan is to incorporate the con-
Germ and sell the stock to the general
public. The scheme is a decidedly good
one SO far as its purposes are con-
cerned. In the first place if the con-
Germ is capitalized at forty million
dollars, the people who are managing
the same can retain twenty-one mil
lion dollars and sell nineteen million,
and still have control of the manage
ment The majority stock could fix
the rate of dividends and by so doing
keep the same down to a five or six
per cent basis. This would be no
more than commercial interest in the
cities and the corporation could afford
to pay that if for no other purpose
than to use the money in the conduct
of the business.
But if the nineteen million dollars
of stock were divided into ten dollar
shares there would be at least one
million, nine hundred thousand GUS
toners assured, for every stakeholder
would feel that he was in duty bound
to purchase from his own house and
in the course of year would proba-
bly, purchase on an average one hun
dred dollars worth of goods. SUP
pose the average profit on these goods
were five per cent, which is decided
ly low estimate, every man who sub
scribed for the stock would make
profit of five dollars for the company.
or total of nine and half million
dollars.
The company under these conditions
would be able to declare an annual
dividend of ten per cent, leaving four
dollars to the net profit side of the
account to the company. In other
words the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. would
pay five dollars profit for the priv
lege of getting one dollar returned as
a dividend
1t is reasonably certain that of the
majority stock retained by the pro-
noters not one dollar of cash was
paid SO that the farmers and others
who are purchasing the stock in small
quantities are actually furnishing the
money to conduct business that pays
a net dividend of twenty per cent of
which they receive just one-half. The
people who are doing the promoting
not only realize large salaries but get
neat ten per cent profit out of the
investments of the farmers.
No very large dividend can be de-
clared on the stock subscribed else
1t would give the patrons conclusive
evidence that the mail order houses
are disappearing their actual pro-
nt-making, for they have always con-
tended that the reason they were able
to undersell merchants nearer home
was the fact that they only made small
profits. A large dividend would prove
that the people who patronize mail or
der houses are fieeced.
The whole scheme is a gigantic adj
vertising plan to secure customers
who not only will be compelled to
furnish the trade but the capital as
we'll.

Tom Marshall is a representative

public buildings and consider himself
a benefactor to the entire state. His
alcohol bill will be of inestimable
benefit to the state. It is the most
far-reaching and beneficial bit of leg
islation ever championed by member
of the North Dakota delegation. Now
he is corresponding with wood alcohol
manufacturers, and believes he has
interested them in the Ignite industry

half the supposed insurgent delegates

has paid to British colonial admins
tration the sincerest form of flattery
and is pleased with the result. The
great dependency used to be directed
In everything from Paris and accord
ing to French standpoints, with the re-
suit that stagnation characterized ev-

take a hint from British methods. The
first step was to emancipate Algeria
from financial dictatorship, and to en-
dow her with an Independent budget
This measure has resulted in progress
so marked that further steps in the

ipated.-LOndOn Globe.

Frank White, of Elitch's Gardens,
says that an old man with a. long
white beard and rather a gruff man
ner stepped up to the box Office at the
double figure "S" yesterday morning
and said: "Give me ten tickets"
The young woman cashier handed
him the tickets and he climbed into
one Of the cars. When the trip was
finished he stepped into another car
and gave up another ticket. He kept
riding until he had made ten trips.
Then he bought five more tickets. An
attendent thought he noticed that the
old man was getting pale.
You'd better stop riding for awhile
