The Supreme court of this state last
week handed down decision that the
law requiring the publication of U. s.
Government tax receipts for the sale Of
liquor must be published. The princi.
pal points of the law are that these no.
tices must be published in the official
papers of the county, authenticated
copies must be filed with the county
auditor (if in an incorporated city with
the city auditory and fee of ten dollars
paid for such filing. The cost of adver.
tising is the same as for legal notices
The total bill for fees and advertising
will approximate from sixteen to twenty
dollars. The original fee paid to the
government is twenty-five dollars. Be-
sides the county auditor (or city auditor
II filed with him) must publish list o1
all licenses filed during the month pre-
vious.

WHAT is AN INDEPENDENT?

The left-hand neighhor of the Grand
Forks Herald, The Press, uses this paper
as authority for the claim that all politi-
cal Independents are Democrats. The
Pioneer Express has never attempted to
classify such, 1t has only said that they
are not Republicans. AS to whether
they are Democrats or not, is something
that the Press can settle with it's right.
hand neighbor the Herald, which insists
that it is not Democratic.
Another little matter that some of our
critics seems not to notice is, that in
our classification we have used the future
and not the past tense. 1t is quite pos
sible for a Democrat of last years vim
tage to be straight Republican at the
next election, or for Republican to be-
come Democrat.
But as to what man is or will be
politically, the only possible rule is the
old one "By their fruits ye shall know
them"

The products of the farmers of the
west have not been at so high figures
for many years, while the products OF
Wall street are much lower than for
the same time. Once when money was
tight on Wall street as it is now, the farm
ers' crops suffered in price because there
was scarcity of money to buy them
but now we seem to be independent Of
Wall street and it's money fluctuations.
The great west Is growing. There is
little doubt that all that has prevented a
financial panic in the country this year
has been the prosperity and crops of the
western farmers. The shrinkage in Wall
street securities has been something
enormous.

voted for at the general election. But
no provision seems to have been made
IN cases where one party nominates at
the primary by giving candidate forty
per cent, and the other party tails to
make nomination-as is very likely to
be the case at the next election under
present prospects.
And again, at the primary election, a
voter may only vote the ballot of the
party with which he affiliates and may
be challenged; but on this separate bal
lot to be provided at the general election
when no choice is made, the candidates
of both parties appear and any voter is
free to mark his ballot for the candidate
of either party, without reference to his
affiliations"
The printer will read with some awe
and reverence the provisions by which
the names of each group of candidates are
to be alternated. The sample" ballots
are to be alphabetically arranged as to
names, but the regular ballots are to
have the name groups changed about
Gin each Office division as many times as
there are candidates in the office divis.
ion or group in which there are most
names"
This will result in making the real
ballots or most of them unlike the sam
pie ballots. Second, ifoarried out fully
to fill the implied intention of the author
the number of different kinds of ballots
printed for the various precincts in this
county would be almost innumerable
certainly incalcuable at this time. As
it was under the former laws, owing to
the five different county commissioner
districts and two legislative districts ii
has been sometimes necessary to print
as many as seven different forms vol
ballots. Now if each of such forms has
again to be changed ;as many as foul
times, it will certainly keep the printer
and the county auditor busy changing
sorting and delivering the proper ballots
to the several precincts. For instance
both Bathgate and st. Thomas, each
have had special form of ballot when.
ever they have an election for commits
lsioner, but according to the new Law
fthey will always have four forms in ad.
,dition hereafter.

SOME NEW PRIMARY PolNns.

A little later we intend giving our
readers a synopsis of the new primary,
but think ita little premature at present.
However a,perusal of the law as printed
in the newSession Laws shows some food
for thought. In the choice for senators,
each Legislative candidate must take "a
pledge that he will support the nominee
of his party. Apparently then, no yone
may run for the legislature as an indie
pendent, for he cannot make such a
pledge, as he has no party.
But the provision relating to the nomi-
nation of u. S. senators is of interest
just now, and is certainly remarkable
piece of law talk. 1t runs as follows:-
"The candidate receiving the highest
number of votes at such primary elee-
tion shall be the nominee of his party
for the office of United States senator at
the succeeding session of the legislative
assembly which is to elect a United
States senator; provided, however, that
in case no candidate receives forty per
cent of all the votes of his party cast for
the Office of United States senator, then
the two candidates of each party who
receives the highest number of votes
cast at such primary election shall be
placed upon q separate ballot to be voted
for at the next general election following,
Such ballot shall be prepared in the
same manner as the general election bal
lot, commonly known as the Australian
ballot, is prepared. The candidates of
each party are to be placed upon such
ballot under their proper party heading.
The names Of each candidate shall be
placed upon such ballot. ia the same
manner as the candidate for state offices
and shall be voted for in the same man.
ner. The votes for candidates for United
States senator shall be canvassed and re-
turned in the same manner as the votes
cast for state officers. The candidate
of each party receiving the highestnum-
ber of votes at such general election
shall be the nominee Of his party for the
office of United States senator, and it is
hereby made the duty Of the secretary
of state to certify to the next session OF
candidate of each party who receives the
highest number of votes for the Office of
United States senator"
Taking the part beginning, s'provided,
however, that in case no candidate re-
ceives forty per cent Of all the votes Of
his party : : = then the two candidates
Of EACH party shall be placed on
separate ballot to be voted for at the
general election following" That seems
to be fairly erstsndable; it is clear II
nobody in either party gets forty Per
cent, then candidates Of both parties are
to be placed on: ! separate ballot and

Both the Herald and the Press OF
Grand Forks stigmatise the editor of the
Devils Lake Journal as a Republican
and traitor to the Democrat party be-
cause he occasionally says good word
for his fellow townsman and friend
Hansbrough. But the Herald claims
the men who deserted the party ticket
last year and voted for Burke-are the
pure Republican brand -and better Re.
Epublicans than those who voted the
straight ticket.
