COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT,
Wasn't Joe Langevin, the victim O
the elevated roads so common in some
parts of this county? And isn't the
same kind of accident liable to happen
any of us if we get caught on roads that
are built in this manne on a dark night
with a team that is not good at keeping
the wagon track? Though the high
grade of the road was responsible for
the death of that man Friday night of
last week, two miles away in the same
township the grader was running the
following Monday morning regarding a
mile of roadway that had already been
graded up too much, but had not been
provided with sufficient drainage-which
is of more Importance in road building
than grading. OF course the parties
responsible for this mile of n to
the public are not likely to be arrested
for what has so unfortunately happened
and if they we're a plea ofinsanity would
no doubt be sufficient to secure their
acquittal, the roadway itself being able
to furnish the necessary evidence to
substantiate that claim.

TO DEMOCRATS OF CAVALIER COUNTY.

The primary election law was changed
by the last legislature. Under the old
primary law, the persons receiving the
highest number of votes we're the
nominees of the party. Under the new
law, and candidate, whether he has any
opposition or not, must have at least ~
per cent of the votes of the party cast
for Secretary of State in his county or
district at the last general election.
If therefore any candidate in the state
or county falls short of 80 per cent, he
will not be nominated and his name will
not appear on the ticket next November.
In order to nominate Governor Burke
or. any other candidate on the state
democratic ticket about 5000 votes will
be needed, and any candidate on the
county ticket will need about 80 votes.
Never has there been more need nor
better hope of a democratic victory
than now. The republican party in the
nation, as we'll as in the state, is torn by
strife and dissension. This is because a
big majority in the republican ranks
have found out that the bosses of the
party either are identified with corpora
tions or are their hired servants.
Every democrat should therefore be
on guard and make it his business to
attend the primary election June "a. If
all the democrats of the county and
state will attend to this, their greatest
privilege and greatest duty, we will not
only be able to nominate Governor
Burke, but we will have a candidate
nominated for every state, legislative
and county office.
1t is hoped that the democrats of
Cavalier county will attend at the
primaries. A big primary vote will
mean a live and victorious democracy,
while a small vote will mean a waning
democracy. Every true democrat
should make himself committee of one
and see to 1t, that no democrat stays at
home on the primary election day.

What has Gov. Burke done?" in

state auditor will probably show that be
has drawn his salary with mathematical
regularity and we must not forget that
he has made some speeches and that he
forgot when the luncheon hour was
at Chicago where a lot of people we're
awaiting him at a manufacturers ban
quet.-Mandan Pioneer.
Voters of North Dakota, no matter of
what political party, what do you think
of a paper that will print such rot as the
above? The DEMOCRAT can tell the
voters of Mandan and the slope the way
things ran before Gov. Burke took the
executive chair and the way they are
now. Give the people a chance to vote
for honest John Burke next fall and he
will get four votes where he got one two
years age.

Do o let the republicans fool you
into voting at the republican primaries
to help out some friend on the grounds
that it is not material. 1t is material
that every democrat vote a democratic
ticket. 1t is not so material that repub-
licans do so, as they have plenty of votes
and interest runs so high that their
vote will be much more than is needed
to secure place for their candidates
under proper heading. 1t is because
we need every vote this year that the
duty is so imperative with the
democrats.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1908-06-18

WHILE at the election in Oregon the
republicans o out in both congress
sional districts and elected a republican
legislature, a democrat was the choice
for U. $. senator and the legislature is
committed to his election. This illus
trates the advantages of a system in
which the people have the power to
name their choice and where the legis-
lature merely %ratiies the popular YER
dict. This comes very close to the
popular election of senators and differs
from our law in that the contests here
are between representatives of one
party.

THE @ OF
SALEM SCHOOL
MISS COVINGTON TO RETIRE
FROM TEACHING
Exercises by Children Address
by Rev f O Watson and
Picnic Dinner.

The closing exercises of Salem
school last Wednesday was a red
letter day for that community.
The day was an ideal one. The
children all went through their
parts with enthusiasm and without
a break or mistake. They showed
that they had been trained by q
master hand. Miss Matte Coving-
ton has done a noble work for
that school and section during the
past year. There was indeed regret
expressed by all that she had de-
cided not to teach next session.
She told the trustees that if she
were going to teach at all, she
would remain st Salem. She in
tends to spend next year in study
and it is understood that she is
preparing for missionary work.
The trustees have been paying
Miss Covington $75 a month this
year and she made about $40 adj
ditional from Il music class. The
trustees are willing to pay her any
price she asked if she would teach
another session, but she told them
that money would be no induce
ment. Below is the program,
which was carried out with bril-.
liant success:
Scripture lesson, School.
Opening Hymn, All Hal the
power.
Prayer, by Rev. + O Watson.
Song, Greeting Glee, School.
Instrumental Music, duet, Sara

dren.
What becomes of the smart
babies9" asked Mr.. Watson and
then he answered. "They have
been murdered by mother and
father and teacher, who refuse to
allow their powers to be properly
developed" Children should be
encouraged to develop their natu-
raj talents instead of doing some
thing they do not like.
There is no possibility of genius
beyond you-nothing in the world
which you cannot do. "The al
mighty has given to all arms long
enough to reach the stars, if they
will only stretch them out"
There is no greatness except the
greatness of achievement. Every
thing worth while is wrought out
by strenuous effort. Christ is the
one flawless ideal and there is no
immortality or great achievement
that may not be yours.
After Mr. Watson's excellent adj
dress, MI. Sheriff. invited all to
repair to the grove where dinner
would be served.
After a goodbye song by the
children, Miss Covington an
nounced that o piece would be
played while the audience retired,
but, she on the piano. and Messrs
Aiken Heustess al d Edwin Wealth
erly on violins gave such sweet
music that the audience did not
move till it was all over.
And then came the dinner, and
such a dinner can be prepared only
by the Salem people. Everybody
ate all they wanted, and there was
enough left for another crowd the
same size.
The trustees of the Salem school
are g Sheriff., Edwin Weatherly
and A Il Odom. They are to be
congratulated upon getting Miss
Covington this year, and the sue
cess of the school.
