WORSE AND MORE OF IT

The committee of bosses that met at
Valley City yesterday have decided to
hold "a good government convention" in
this city November 26th for the purpose
OF putting into nomination a full con-
gressional and state ticket. The call for
such a convention will specify the quail
fication of the delegates who are to be
allowed seat and vote.
This plan does not appear to be quite
as broad as the old system of selecting
delegates. Under the old system which
was set aside because it did not give
"the people" chance to express them
selves, all Republicans we're given a
chance to vote for Delegates to county
conventions and the county conventions
selected delegates to the state conven-
tion. Under the scheme of the commit
tee of bosses, only those persons who
have been doing that which meets with
the approval Of said committee of bosses
are TO participate in the convention.
Where do 'the people" come in? Evi-
dently they don't come in at all until
the committee of bosses fix things in
their own way. First a few selected in
dividuals s-self-selected at that-meet at
Fargo behind closed doors and appoint
a committee, composed chiefly of the
self-selected ones, to meet at Valley City.
Then this committee, which is boss
ridden to a finish,get together at Valley
City, selects ticket, state and national,
and in order to make the proceedings
look somewhat regular, decides upon a
convention. This convention" is expect
ed to ratify the action of the committee
of bosses.
Will anyone tell us wherein the old
system has been improved upon? As a
matter of fact, isn't the new scheme
further away from "the people, than the
old one? Think it over gentle voter

The Pioneer Express has criticised
the primary law as being inefficient. that
its provisions do not cover the ground
necessary, that it is not in any way a
remedy for the evils which it is sup.
posed to cure. We note that the ''insur.
gents" and their leaders, who are popu-
larly understood to be the orginators
and supporters of that law, are now Of
the same opinion as the PioneerExpress.
They have called sort of convention at
Grand Forks on the 26th. The princi-
pal difference between this convention
and the old fashioned kind is, that this
convention represents number of fac
tional leaders, while the old kind was
composed of regular chosen delegates
from the whole party. We don't blame
these gentlemen for getting together;
there is nothing wrong about 1t, legally
or otherwise, but it does establish the
fact and principle that it is a necessity
in political work to get together and
consult over platforms and candidates
and there is no provision for this in the
primary law-noris it possible to make
such provision. But it is principle
that absolutely negatives the theory un.
derlying the whole primary law. The
object of this primary law Vas to abolish
the delegate system and take the power
from conventions and give it direct to
the people-and now it's authors and
strongest supporters are the very first to
Call convention.

THE POLITICAL BREAKUP

The general breakup in past political
affiliations in the different factions of
the Republican party Of this state is
something remarkable and is beyond
precedent. 1t is equally true of the orig
inal ''gang" as we'll as the newer insur-
gent crowd. Mr.. Mckenzie who has
been in the past the nucleus of the
sgang" and who has at times disagreed
with one or two of his lieutenants, is now
left considerably alone-and there are
but few who openly stand with "Alex."
But really, we don'tsee why he should
be Stunned any more at this time
than in the past. Certainly there is
nothing especially creditable for those
who have been hand in glove with him
for many years to now tell of his iniqui-
ty. As matter of fact, he is Just az
good now as he ever was, and so far as
we are concerned, we never have seen
anything more vicious in him than in
any other politician. His principal sin
has been his personal success in the
manipulation of political matters. No
one in this state has ever charged him
with other than political dishonesty and
what political honesty" is-no one has
ever yet defined. AS for the Alaska
troubles we would know more about
them if Alaska had been just little
nearer.
just now he seems on the down hill
grade, but he is an old politician, and
perhaps like cat he will fight best when
on his back. One Of the remarkable
things is that all the leaders Of the pre-.
sent .'Insurgent" movement were origin.
al gangstefs. All Of them have in the
past sseaten from McKenzie's hand" s
Mr.. McKenzie's greatest political mis-.
take has been that he was more prone to
accomplish his ends BY manipulation Of
Legislatures and conventions, rather than
by appealing openly to the people.
This was particularly exemplified when
he caused Mr.. Spalding to be turned
down in the state convention, when
every body supposed and expected that
Spalding would be renominated for. the

nominations have been blamed on Mr..
Mckenzie which were not under his
control. The party ran away from him
at the last election. It is true they sep
arated into parts, but Mr.. Mckenzie and
very few friends were tiled to the
fence"
The parts separated as we said, and
they have been ever since then trying to
get together, because they knew union
was necessary to success. When one
looks over the already populous field of
politics in this state and wonders how
the oils and the waters there represented
are going to mix, it certainly needs a
prophetic vision to conceive how it is to
be done. It is all very well for Mr.. Mar
shall, Mr.. johnson, Mr.. Hansbrough and
Mr.. Little, to stand out as candidates
for the senate and if it were only that
fight, it might be settled by the simple
vote at the primaries. But there are rep
resentatives to congress, half dozen
or more in the field already and some
dark horses yet to come.
There are two candidates for governor
that we know of, there are about twenty
state Offices to be filed; there are about
that many more county Offices besides
several candidates for the legislature.
What sort of a combination can any
body make out of these? And yet there
must be more or less combinations
among them. Just now they are all
watching each other with jealous eyes.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE

IL is curious pSycOs0g9cal fact that we
believe much and know little. A very
large portion of what We call knowledge
is purely belief. Some centuries ago
everybody believed that heavy body
would fall faster than lighter one.
@Of course it would'' was the only rea.
son for the belief. Galileo went up ON
the leaning tower Of Pisa and dropped
two cannon balls of different sizes-aud
Immediately the whole world believed
different.
Every day sciense is proving how
little we really know and how much NE
believe to be true is false. Science is
only another name for truth. Not only
is this fact true in natural laws and
phenomena, but also in the mental and
spiritual worlds. The vast majority ol
religious belief of all sorts is founded On
no better knowledge than that the faith.

socially we find the same blind mental
amalgamation of beliefs. Mar

cause it is the crowd. The average mar

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
II it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

The Real Ruler,

The duchess of Roxburghe, who was
Miss May Goelet of New York, has
taken up the prevalent craze to collect
animals and she is building a minia-
ture zoo at Floors castle. In fact, the
duchess, masterful little lady, has
everything she wants. One of the
dukes tenants, wishing some conces-
sion, went to the castle and told his
errand to an old retainer, adding that
he would like to see the master in
person. "Eh, mon," retorted the aged
servant, who is not entirely reconciled
to the new order of affairs, there is
only ae maister in this hoose thae
times and that's no the duke. Ye
should see the duchess"

How to Sleep in a Blanket.

There are great many very COM
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent and all
the rest of 1t. l have never seen des-
cribed the woodman's method of using
a blanket, however. Lie fiat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, of course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge un-
der from left to right, and over the
first edge. Lower your legs, wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep. II
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will ttighten.-Stewart
Edward White in Odting.
