PRIMARY LAW DON'T DO 1T

In one ward in Grand Forks on Mon
day the candidate for alderman for
whom the petition had been filed
and who was supposed to have no
opposition, received,five votes while six
voters quietly plaoed,votes for another
party-and it was April Fool day for
certain for the party of the first part.
helHerald goes into long sermon
over the possibilities of such elections
when:aobody takes an interest and but
few,vote, and wants some plan to force
peopleho perform their duties at the
polls.
.Just.as we have always argued in re-
ference to the primary law, that law
don't touch the real'evils of politics. If
the people are thoroughly aroused on a
political matter, any cid law that lets
them express their s9pinions will do.
But if,they are not interested, no aaw
will make them do it. The Pioneer Ex-
press long years ago proposed law
that would help this tnauble, and that
was to the effect that every voter he
assessed $500 poll tax for each election
occurring during the year in his pre-
cinct, and that it should 'be paid by him
at the Office Of the county treasurer in
cash-or by receipts signed by the
officers of the election boards showing
that he had cast his ballot at said
elections. Every voter would thus be
interested at least 81 worth in each
election, and most of them would vote
and get their receipts rather than pay
cash. And as to getting out the voters
and their opinions it would beat all the
primary laws ever invented. The whole
difficulty with the election apparatus
has been and is, the apathy of the vot-
ers. The primary law, as shown in
Grand Forks does not remedy this de-
feet.

It begins to look as though some Of
the old cut and dried effete monarchies
of Europe will grant woman suffrage be-
fore the advanced and free United
States gets around to that doctrine. In
Finland the women vote, in England the
pressure is strong and woman suffrage
bill came near being passed in the Com
mons this year, though it would have
been beaten in the House of Lords. In
Italy and some other nations the wom-
en- are anxious to be equal to the men.
OF course we have couple of states
where women have full suffrage, and a
few others whore they have partial suf-
frage, but on the whole the movement
is rathor dying out than progressing.

CALvE. COMES TO OMAHA
Great Musical Event at Omaha on Nov
enlber Seventh

The biggest piece of musical news
for the season is the announcement
that Nine. Emma Calve. the greatest
of dramatic sopranos. has been Sc
cured for a concert at Boyd's
Theatre. Omaha. Thursday evening,
November 7th. Music lovers Of
Omaha and vicinity have long been
waiting for an opportunity to hear
Nine. Calve and now that their de-
sires are to be gratified there is no
doubt but that every seat in the
theatre will be sold long before the
night of the concert. The seat sale
opened at Boyd's Theatre Monday
morning. October. 2sth.
Nine. Calve is making concert
tour of this country during the fall
and early winter and will give just
forty concerts. Omaha being the only
place in Nebraska where she will
sing. The tour opened at Bangor.
Me-. Oct. 5th and will extend clear
across the county. John Cort and j.
Saunders Gordon are directing the
tour and they have arranged for
what is probably the longest concert
tour ever undertaken by any of the
operate prima donas in this country.
Nearly sO.O miles will have been
covered when the tour ends. At the
conclusion of the tour through the
United States Nine. Calve will make
a trip to Cuba and to Mexico, Staging
in Mexico City at the invitation OF
President Diaz. whose guest she will
be.
Nine. Calve has an optional and
provisional contract with Oscar
Hammerstein to appear in Grand
Opera at his Manhattan Grand Opera
House in New York City late in the
winter. and would undoubtedly have
been with him the whole season If
it had not been for her contract with
John Cort which was signed two
years ago. Nine. Calve had not
been heard in Grand Opera in this
country for number of seasons until
last spring when she sang with the
Manhattan Company. d her success
then was so great that the old desire
for Grand Opera came back over the
prima donna and she decided to give
up concert singing except perhaps fol

INSPECTOR WELL IMPRESSED
Postoffice Inspector Ranger Thinks
Denison Should Have Three City
Carriers.

Postoffice Inspector C. S. Ranger
spent two days of last week in Deni-
son. He was driven about the city
and inspected the office and the
amount Of business transacted. 1t is
his opinion that Denison should have
three carriers and he states that he
will return to lay out the service just
as soon as Denison has complied with
the conditions as to naming the
streets and numbering the houses.
He also suggested that before the
service is inaugurated each house
should be provided with mail box so
that the carriers may not be delayed
in delivering the mail. These boxes
are not expensive and will undoubted-
ly be kept in stock at our hardware
stores. Mr.. Ranger will route the
city upon his return. He will not re-
quire the carriers to deliver mail
where there are no sidewalks. The
people should bear this point in
mind. If you would like to have the
mail delivered you must see 20 it that
there Is good sidewalk. The gov
ernment goes on the! theory TINT un-
less the city has sufficient pride te
keep it's streets named and the houses
numbered. and unless the citizens
has enough pride to have a decent
sidewalk for the carriers to walk on,
the government can place the service
where it will be better appreciated.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Ranger te
provide for four deliveries day il

Ii has been found that one of the greatest evils
: IN connection with immigration is the slowness OF
the process of educating -Euglsh-speaking
! foreigners as TO the meaning and purposes OF
| American institutions The remedy for this sug-
gested by the commission is the establishment OF
night schools for instruction in the English Ian
guage and American civil government
The commission has discovered that immi-
grants are eager to secure the education OF their
children and the rather startling statement is
made that the percentage OF illiterate children OF
native parentage is nearly double the percentage
of illiterate children of foreign parentage
Moreover, the first request of foreigners for
books is always for something about America in
their own language. The commission takes occa-
sion to make this sharp but entirely warranted re-
mark: 1T is matter of shame to us that We have
not adequately supplied this demand"
Immigrants constantly ask such primary ques-
tons as these: "Where is your government if you
have soldiers visible" What becomes of the
taxes paid" why do children have to attend
school until they are ID years of age"
Very little has been done, the commission
finds. to enlighten immigrants on these and other
points concerning which they are anxious for in
formation.
They are left practically to themselves and
must secure knowledge by processes that are too
slow for the welfare of the country and for their
own good and progress.
1t is earnestly urged, therefore, that a perma-
nent commission be created and furnished with an
appropriation sufficient to educate all foreign
speaking residents OF the state by the circulation
among them of informing pamphlets dealing with
the history and principles of American govern
ment, federal and state, in English and every for
eign language that may be necessary to reach
them.
1t is further recommended that night schools
be established in twenty cities for the study of the
English language and civil government, with free
lectures wherever there is demand for instruction
on these subjects in foreign languages, these
schools to become permanently part of New Jer-
sey's educational system.
This particularly practical plan and
one that ought to be of the highest benefit to the
state and nation, because it will ht newcomers
from foreign lands more speedily than ever before
for the duties and responsibilities of American
citizenship.
If the experiment is made in New Jersey and
proves successful there, doubt other states will
be prompt in following the example thus set them.
