and every voter has the right to vote for
whom he pleases. But this penalty is
easy got round without holding primar-
les assshown in the cases Of these cities
and in numerous cases i'm counties at
the last election.
Without going to greatsrIlengths, we
will again repeat, the stahe:is attempting
to regulate that with which the state has
nothing to do, until the individual vot-
ers'inherent rights to gather in peace
full assemblies, and to vote with secret
ballot for whom he pleases, is abrogated.
When the state shall abolish these con-
:stitutional rights of the individual and
give these rights to aggregations of in
dividuals which we call parties, some
thing as we give corporate rights to
bodies of men, then parties will become
a part of the scheme of government:
assume legal status and may be reg.
ulated by law.
That is what is practically done in
Canada. The voter there has no rights
outside of his party. 4f he does not
like the nominees he has no remedy.
He may vote for them or no one.
The Pioneer Expresslhas always be.
lieved that when it comes to that, the
American voter will kick. He is willing
that the parties shall make nominations
almost any old way, tut he will most
object to having at the court
of last resort, on election day, to vote
[ffor any of them and will want his vote
against them, or any of them, counted
and re ecorded, if he choose to vote in that

That is the Canadian law that the

The Grand Forks Herald copies the
editorial of the. Pioneer Express refer.
ring to, 1.-THE fact that the primary law
does,not' bring out the vote any better
than, did the old election law and makes
someseomments. The Herald as usual
is fairiin its comments, but rather begs
the question when it says that they did
not, use. the primary this year. ;at the
/, Forks. That.in itself though is com
ment on the necessity yof such a law,
when the factiis, that. they have the
primary law in cities of the size OF
Grand Forks in.municipal elections, but
did not use it.
The Herald however, Says it's plan for
the lack of voters when there is no :ap.
parent opposition is the Canadian lew
of f'making.a "a single Vnopposad nomina-
tion an election without further cere-
mony.
This is getting at the real meat of the
thing. Long ago the Pioneer Express
pointed out that the paople who were
trying to make primary laws had begun
at the wrong end of the matter. First,
we imported the Australian ballot,
which is really the last stone of the
structure then we follow, still building
downwards, with abolishihg conven-
tions and caucuses.
The real foundation Of the election
idea is either purely individual or party
action. # you grant the individual the
right to vote as he pleases at the cleo
tion for anyone he pleases, it is absurd
to attempt to tis him down to any pre-
limindly proceedings in the premises.
Further, there is no constitutional law
that can bind him.
There is nothing whatever in the
present primary law that car prevent
the Democratic party or the Republican
party Of this state ar any other lot Of
voters from preceding to hold eau
cuses and conventions just as they al
ways have, if they desire SO to do. If
they choose, they can in this ignore the
primary law Of this state just as the
citizens Of Grand Forks and Fargo have
done in the late municipal elections.
The only penalty provi ided BY the law,
lot which we doubt the constitutionality)
q is the fact that under certain circum-
stances the. names will have. .to be past
ed on or WRIT Ton ia by the voters.

VITAL STATISTICS

"A. law regarding vital statistics
will go into effect on July first of this
year. After that time the township
clerks will gather the local statistics
Besides this there will be a state official
appointed by the governor who will
have.a, clerk. Appropriations for salar-
les and expenses have been provided
There is considerable sense inthis move,
Heretofore the business of collecting
and reporting births and deaths has
been in the hands of the physicians
Doctors are notoriausly the worst peo-
pie for keeping accounts and records
with some exceptions which only prove
the rule.
Besides many births and deaths oc-
cur in which the local doctors have no
cali or knowledge. OF course the old
law made it the duty Of everybody to
make these reports when the events oc-
CURED in the family, but nobody locked
after the matter and it was never half
done. These vital statistics are of great
value in many ways. Thay furnish fig
ures which effects the very life of the
community as a whole, and in which
everybody is interested. Besides this,
it sometimes becomes very important
matter to have public and legal record
of both births and deaths, especially
the former. In pension and life insur-
lance matters this data is often of ut
most Importance and up to the present
time in this state almost unattainable
because no public records have been
kept.
The township clerk if allowed a small
fee, will be sufficiently interested and
will have the requisite knowledge Of
local matters to keep the run Of such
events and will be able to stir up the
parents and survivors to report births
and deaths as they should do and the
state officials will stand behind them Tor

limit the value per carat increases US
the size Of the stone increases. When
q carat diamond is quoted at 1925, a
diamond weighing half carat is
counted at the rate of SIS per carat.
three quarter carat diamonds at 500
per carat, one and one-quarter carat
diamonds at $40 per carat, one and
one-half carat diamonds at $3.50 per
carat. one and three-quarter carat dia-
monds ut $3.50 per carat, and two carat
stones at $500 per carat. Stones weigh
irg more than two carats sell ut about
the same rate as that quoted for two

o'clock in the afternoon, at which time

consisted of two communicating oil
chambers, superposed by clock dial.
In one Of the chambers was placed a

T3 ton In Several Ways. ~ =
n You leave your card at the door of
4 the person to whom you desire to pre-
\ sent yourself, and there it is taken In
charge by that peculiarly French func-
tionary, the concierge. says Professor
Barrett Wendell In Scribner's. At
least In Paris. the greater part Of
French people live in large houses con-
tanning q number of apartments with
4 common entrance and staircase.
Close to the entrance door, on the level
of the street. are some stufy little
rooms inhabited by the concierge, or
porter, with his family. Their duty,
among other things. Is to keep strict
watch on whoever goes in or out, and
at least one Of them. often the porter's
wife or half grown daughter. is always
at hand.
~ The chief popularity of their temper
ament seems to be Unsuitable appetite.
At whatever hour of day or evening
you call on a concierge you are sure to
find somebody eating or just risen
from table, and the atmosphere inhab-
tied by this bustling parsonage seems
Immortality laden with the fumes of
something recently boiled.
No matter whether you call on
friend who lives in some unpretentious
out Of the way place or on one who
inhabits something like palace. the
concierge is always about the same.
You can detect little difference be-
tween those in charge Of important
doors and of Insignificant. They are
as like as house flies. OF course there
are private houses in Paris, with regu-
lar domestic servants such as you
would find anywhere. but these, grand
or simple, are so unusual that you re-
member the concierge as everywhere
standing between you and further hui
man intercourse.
In response to your card, which the
concierge duly sees delivered, comes
card, often with note, In return. If.
as is generally the case, this acknowl-
edgment Of your existence contains an
1ntimation Of when your French ac-
quaintance may be found at home, ell
Their habitual or for your special bene-
fit, you make your second visit at this
appointed time and thus enter into real
personal relations.
Otherwise. your intercourse has limit
ed itself to polite exchange of cards.
Generally speaking, you never expect
or attempt to see French people socially
except when they have asked you to
one Of their regular days Of reception
or have made definite appointment.
To call on person at any other time
to do more than leave your card with
the concierge-would be an intrusive
pretense to intimacy.

Ths Difgsrsnss osNsssn ~ DarrlsAse
and tie Solicitor n " Y, s=.;
The barrister in England IS the very
salt Of the earth. He It ID who makes
the laws, who goes Into parliament,
who sits on the bench, who considers
himself seven or eight degrees higher
up In the social scale than any other
poor or middle class mortal, and with
all this he has absolutely no RESPONSE
bility toward his clients. That ancient,
much abused thing called custom In
this country has created for the law
two separate and distinct limbs, which
may be compared In a measure to the
life of the bee. One Is the drone and
the other the queen. The drone IL the
solicitor, who sits In an Office working
up a case, consulting clients, drawing
gills, controlling estate transactions and
controlling the incomes Of people who
are unfortunate enough to be saddled
under, the trust deeds. The solicitor,
who has his own tradition to work out,
does not ever get to himself any glory
whatever. Except In police and coun-
ty court cases. he ia persona non grata,
or, in the words of the judges, ''he is
not seem" If he has case on hand,
he Is obliged to take it to barrister,
who, though he may never have heard
Of the matter in dispute before, dons
his wig and gown, proceeds into court
and argues till all Is black and blue,
a. If he knew all about 1t, for which he
draws a most prodigious fee, quite big
enough to enable him to appear nicely
mounted in the row every morning.
II he spoils the case, there Is no chance
for redress, because the barrister is
merely a gentleman whom fiction po-
litely assumes to be friend in need.
All the onus Of failure falls upon the
poor solicitor. There are no barristers
in prison, but there are a good many
solicitors who wear the broad arrow
which Is the trademark of his majesty's
prisons. The solicitor remains the old
time family adviser, to whom all sorts
Of foolish people bring their trust
deeds, their stock certificates thei1
government bonds and all such docu.
ments which have tendency to lead a
weak men into temptation, and that is
why SO many solicitors, when they
need money, find it impossible to re-
sist the desire to take that which is
not theirs.-Iondon Letter in Town and
