the constitutionality of compelling a
candidate to take oath that he will sup
port the nominee for the senate chosen
at the primaries 1t thinks that can
didate should have the right to run
without pledging himself if he wants to.
In this we agree; bnt also think that if
the law had left that out, still the legis-
lator would have voted for the nominee
of the primary just the same as do the
electors of the president IN the electoral
college
But if the primary law should be de-
clared unconstitutional-it is one of the
rather strange things, that the parties
could go ahead and do practically all the
things therein provided, without any
law, except that they would have to
provide their own voting machinery.
And again, even under the present law,
there is nothing to hinder the parties
holding caucus and convention just as
they used to do, and by a little maneu-
verlng get the names of their nominees
on the ballots.
Or, they can just lie still, and the CON-
mittee of five can put in the names of
the nominees at half the regular price.
The primary law here has run up a.
gainst the same difficulty that the Her
aid will do if it attempts to define an
independent as distinguished from a
partisan. The first thing to define is
"party''-and we make bold to say that
it is an impossibility to make legal de.
finition.
And yet this is the whole foundation
on which the primary law and its regu-
lations are built-and where it fails
when put to the test of constitutionality-
How can law be made to regulate and
govern that which has NO legal exist
ence? What is a party?

for members of the legislative assembly
shall contain the following pledge: l do
obligate myself Il * will sup
port and vote for that candidate for
United States senator of the party which
am member, who has received ma
yjority of such party vote at the primary
election.
The U. S. constitution says that rep
resenta.ives shall be elected by the
people, that senators shall be elected
by the "legislature"-and the primary
law of North Dakota says as above.

WHO CHOOSES THE SENATOR'S

The constitution of the United States
|says:-
Art. II. The house of representatives
shall be composed of members chosen
every second year by the people.
Art. III. The senate of the United
States shall be composed of two senator's
from each state chosen by the legisla-
ture thereof.
The primary law of North Dakota
says
Sec. l3. The candidate receiving the
highest number of votes at such primary
election shall be the nominee Of his par
ty for the Office of United States senator
at the succeeding session Of the legisla-
ture.
Sec. 4. The petitions Of oil candidates

NOT CONSTITUTIONAL

Last Sundays Herald gives the fol-
lowing clear explanation, and to a GER
tain extent the Pioneer Express stands
corrected.
''The pledge provided for in any prim-
ary election law is pledge for those can
didates who are voted for at the primary
election. The primary election is for the
purpose of choosing the candidates of
political parties. "A man who is not a
member of party cannot be voted for
at,a primary election, and need not be,
as he is candidate simply as an indi-
vidual citizen. Under the old system
the political PARTIES selected their candi-
dates at conventions, and independent
candidates were nominated by petition
assuch. Under the new system the
primary election simply takes the place
of party convention. Party candidates
are nominated there. Independent can
didates may be nominated by petition as
individuals, as before.
That is what the Pioneer Express
meant to say, that an independent hav.
ing no party cannot get on primary
ballot at all. But as the Herald says,
only party candidates can be nominated
at the primaries. Now, if the Herald
will kindly give us an equally clear defi-
milton Of the difference between party
man and an independent we should feel
much enlightened. Legally, the voter
at primary must be a Democrat, a
Republican, or a five per cent" by
"affiliation." We presume that the fell
low that don't affiliate is an independ-
ent and consequently has no business
with the primary election either as a
voter orcandidate. That's simple enough
if sombody will only tell US what 'safili-
ate' means in this connection.
For instance, say there were twenty
Democrat candidates for different offices
on the regular election ballot and TWEEN
ty Republican candidates for the same
Offices respectively, and the voter, as
would be his legal right, voted for ten
Democratic nominees and ten Republi-
can nominees; with which party does
he ssaffiliate" or is he an Independent?
Is Civilization" matter of mind or
act?
Can q man who .saffiliates'' with the
Republican party in his mind, but votes
the whole Of the Democratic ticket, still
be Republican,
OF course these latter questions are
/ Of the same piece, but are put in slight
" different form TO get at the meaning =
little more clearly.
The Herald calls attention to another
fact IN this connection, and questions
The pioneer express., 1907-11-01

No more abominable outrage was ever
plotted against the grain growers of the
world. While the honest bread growers
of the grain belt states were tilling their
farms, crowd of men whose fortunes
were made from those same tillers of the
soil were deliberately organizing a mon-
opoly to control the output of every i'm
plement factory of the United States,
and now when they so nearly control
them what have they done? Systemat-
ically raised the price of every imple-
ment they control and the farmer pays
the bill.
Recently move was made to investi
gate its methods and we predict that if
the curtain is rolled back from the
scenes there will be presented another
view of modern industry no less nauseat-
ing than was the inner view of the meat
trust and the grain combine.
And some day in the near future a
man will demand that his state shall es-
tsblish plant for the manufacture of
grain implements; when he does there
will come the cry of socialist, anarchist.
prison labor; the hired mouthpieces of
this unhofy combination will assail him
from press and platform, but the farmer
of the middle west will do we'll to listen
and having listened ponder over the So
luton of one of the most vital questions
today before the American people. 1t
means more to the farmer than tariff
schedules or foreign policies and they
should demand that steps be taken to
rid the country of the evil-give them
what Texas did.-The North Dakota

[Note:-The inquiry referred to in the

U. S. senate requiring an investigation of

Hon. H. G, Hansbrough of this state.

THE HARVESTER TRUST.

A great deal has been written and
and said about the Harvester Trust.
Some of which is true, some false, but
that they are fast gaining control of the
market and compelling all to bow to
their dictate can not be denied. 1t is
never we'll for one great combination to
destroy all strong competitors for trouble
is sure to follow. One who thinks on
these matters can bnt stop and ponder
as to what the future offers. The editor
Of the American Cooperative Journal
after visiting the great Iowa State Fair
and looking at this class of exhibits COM
ments thus:
There was, however one exhibit, that
taught lesson it was not there to teach,
that left imprir ted on the thinking mind
an impression it was not intended to
convey.
The magnificent exhibit of the Inter
national Harvester Company, compris-
as it did almost every implement used
by man, was an object lesson of modern
trust methods, the intelligent observer
will not soon forget.
Housed beneath that great canvas was
everything a man might need in the i'm
plement line. There were automobiles
and engines. harvesters and mowers,
rakes, spreaders, shredders, wagons and
countless other machines all controlled
by one concern.
Some bore Deering labels, some had
Me- Cormick tags, some were made in
Milwaukee, some in Ohio, some in Chi
cago. They represented the output of a
score of factories gathered under one
management for one purpose, to control
the machine business, not only of the U.
s., but of the entire world and grouped
together on the fair grounds was an OBJ
ject lesson of their success. If they de-
sired to show the farmer how completely
they have succeeded they could have
adopted no better way.
The admirer of Deering machinery
saw it housed under the same roof with
McC Cormick and Osborne and Milwaukee
outfits. No one bothered to explain the
superior points of one or tell the wea
points Of the other, it mattered MT which
machine was sold and which re :. ined

bills were all figured BY one man, the

Suppose some man in Virginia with
a murderous heart had a grudge
against Judge Barksdale, who prcsid-
ed at the Loving trial7 AS we under
stand the law at present in Virginia.
the man could walk into the court
room at Houston, empty two loads of
buckshot into Judge Barksdalc's s BODY
and when arrested could have one Of
his woman relatives to swear that she
told him that she had been grossly in
suited or wronged by the judge. 1t
would make no difference that Judge
Barksdale's whole life and character
contradicted the possibility of his
committing such an offensc. His
friends might have evidence at hand
to show that he was a thousand miles
away when the alleged wrong was
done. They would not be allowed to
offer the evidence. The case would
go to the jury as that Of an injured
relative protecting the honor and
avenging the wrongs of woman Of
his family. There would be no posi-
bility of vindication for the dead man.

Judge Barksdac. Criticism or , m.,
u MS position, standing and attain
m'nts by laymau would be umhc-
coming IN almost any ease. We have
no doubt that he acted conscientiouslv
ana with clear understanding and
that what he declared to be the law
Is the law. We do not know that the
jury Is to be blamed. 1T must be re-
collected that ii jury must act on the
e'ioehce presented in court and so
lar as this jury knew, here was a.
father whose daughter had been induc-
ed to drink, dru.gcd 10 insensibility
and mlstrcaed. OF course under the
law as written even these circumstan-
ees dld not justify the deliberate kill
ing OIL the man supposed to have been
guilty. In Virginia, however, we al
ways have regarded what is known as
the "unwrittcn 4aw" applying to
such eases. Even with that we should
think thc jury would have hesitated
long before acquittin" a man who
kills another with deadly deliberation
but does not take the time or pains
to be sure of his facts.
The practical, concrete Fact of the
present Is that with thc law as it
stands life is unsafe, the law against
murder is almost nullified and the
state Is IN the i%nomnious position Of
beng unable to protect llcr own citiz-
ems. The practical thing to do is to
correct the law at the earliest DOS
Slblc moment. The newspapers and
the leaders Of thought and action in
the state should direct public attcn-
ton to the subject and arouse scnti-
mcnt so that the very day The lcgis-
laturc meets measures will be intro
durcd which will make recurrence Of
conditions like those Of the Loving
ease impossible. This Will not only
provide safeguards for the future,
but will express, in one way possible,
| the feeling and opinion Of tle people
on the result Of this trial.
Some time ago we urged that The
unwriltcn law' should be written
on the statutes with the conditions
which shall justify an appeal TO it
clearly set forth. Many conscrva-
tive and thoughtful people in the
state regard this rs a radical and dan
"crous proposition. However that
may be-, certainly we should have
some provision which will make The
taking Of human life in any cir
cnmStanccS rather more Of serious
matter than the shooting Of a varrant
dog. Our statutes should require
'hat a man who undertakes the res
possibility Of taking human life shall,
at least, be abundantly sure of his
provocation and know beyond doubt
that wrong has been done him or his

items concerning the academy. Ii you are
interested watch this column.
On Tuesday evening an informal public
reception was given the teachers of the
academy and graded school at Odd
Fellows hall, under the auspices of the
school board. This is the first affair Of the
kind ever held here and helps to bring the
teacher and the parents in closer touch
with each other, and creates more interest
in the school from the standpoint Of both
the teacher and the public. There was a
large attendance and general good time
was enjoyed. A short literary and musical
program was given by the students of the
high school and refreshments were served
after the entertainment. Remarks were
made by members of the present school
board. as well as all ex school board
| members present, and Prin. Stannard
| spoke for the teachers. The gathering was
great success and it is hoped it will be
repeated with each school year.
