himself with number of the most
prominent contractors in the country, in

City, who constructed the subway there.
These names were given to the press as
repres enting an association Of contrac-
tors, who with Oliver, would undertake
to do the work under divers Bid:
Some. time af-erward Oliver received a
telephone message from New York and
left at once for that city. At the same
time his secretary issued a statement to
the. newspaper men that the announce
men made earlier in the evening was pre-
mature, and that the question of who
would form the syndicate of contractors
was still unsettled =

to make an impromptu toilette, chang

In another column today the
Tribune presents the text of the
White bill, house bill No. IS, covering
the matter Of primary election. This
is a measure differing from the other
primary bills that have been pre-
scented, in that it retains the old con-
vention system but supplements it
with a primary election upon the two
candidates receiving the preatest num-
Der Of votes in the convention Thus,
where there is a convention fight, the
candidate receiving the greatest num-
Der of votes and the candidate receiv-
ing the next highest number go before
the people on a primary bill, to de-
termine which Of them shall receive
the right to be placed upon the ticket
as a party nominee The author
claims for the bill that it avoids some
Of the educational features OF the
direct primary law without any con-
vention feature whatever, that 1t gives
every man the right to be candidate
before convention, and then enables
the people to pass directly upon the
work Of the convention, before any
party nomination is finally made The
idea IS new ana It d likely to attract

LIBERTY, NOT LICENSE.

LIBERTY, NOT LICENSE.
All persons are not agreed upon the
wisdom of all sorts of legislation.
There is, in the legislature, a con
siderable sentiment in favor of an
anti-pass law. There is, without
doubt, considerable sentiment
against anti-pass legislation. There
is considerable sentiment in favor
of law establishing a maximum pas
senger tariff of two cents a mile.
There is an equally pronounced senti-
ment against the wisdom of such a
law, and there are many arguments to
be advanced, in such new and UNI
developed state and region as our
own. against imposing too severe
restrictions upon railroads in the mat
ter of rates. Even so eminent an
authority upon matters of reform as
the Grand Forks Herald admits the
wisdom of combining anti-pass legisla-
ton with legislation fixing passenger
mile. There is the possibility and
even probability that the courts will
hold that a two cent passenger tariff
in this state is unreasonable. In that
event, the whole anti-pass-two-cent-
rate-bil1 would fall. So it is plain that
there is broad ground for honest
division Of sentiment with regard to
the merit of the bill that a few days
ago passed the house, embodying the
two provisions mentioned
But for the reason that Representa-
tive Stevens Of Burleigh county made
use Of his undoubted right to differ
with the majority as to the wisdom OF
this legislation, the correspondent Of
the Valley City Times-Record makes
a savage and uncalled. for attack upon
the Burleigh county member, ascribing
to him motives for which there is no
justification, and abusing entirely his
4 liberty as a representative of the
press. The prejudices of the Valley
City paper, or Of its correspondent
should not enter into the matter of
press correspond nce, and it is en-
ttirely unfair and unjust to assume that
a member of the legislature cannot
oppose a measure favored by the
Times-Record without laying himself
liable to an abusive and yindictive
TRADE # II
Mr.. Stevens represents a con-
'stituency in the Legislature probably
as extensive and sensible as that
represented by the Times Record or
it's correspondent He is an old resi-
dent of the state, has been in many
state legislatures, and the constitu-
tional convention before them, is an
able debater and familiar with par
s Eamentary and legislative procedure
He is not at all the kind of legislator
pictured by the correspondent Of the
Times Record. and the correspondent
in that paper does him gross in
justice The press correspondent who
occupies position as reporter of
either or both houses of the legislative
Y assembly should not mistake the
liberty accorded the press for license.
He owes his readers and his pro-
fession duty other than roasting
some member whose views of public
questions do not accord with his own.
