dog ordinance had passed. the mar.
shal would have accumulated sur
plus during the present year suffi-
cient to enable him to retire and
he would probably be only too glad
and eager to seek the seclusion of
the aforesaid retirement.
An interesting report Of the re-
ceipts and disbursements Of the city
of La Junta. prepared by City Clerk
Mayors. was then read and ordered
filed. It will be found in full in
another column Of this issue.
Under the head Of bills it was as
certained that the total cost Of in
stalling the new source Of water
supply at the pump house. which in
cludes nine new wells and 800 feet
of suction line. was $3.50. The
work is not as yet completed. but
probably will be within the course
Of a week. Alderman Daimler has
arranged for the handling Of the
necessary warrant issue at = dis
count Of three per cent. Local
banks would not offer any better
rate than five per cent discount.
After allowing ! rift Of bills the
council decided to break away while
both hands on the clock were
straight up.

Under the new system of nominating
officers by committee in practically
secret session, the newspaper man, un-
less he happens to be one Of them, isn't
supposed to be in the fight. until all the
arrangements are made-and then he is
handed the party flag, and is expected
to keep it at the front>of the succeeding
battle. Under the convention system
all the editors were there, either as dele.
gates or on the side, and took personal
interest in the later fighting. Now,
they are lucky if by close questioning OF
some committeeman they can get infor-
nation enough to make a news para

Some recent changes in the higher
officials Of the Northern Pacific would
60 to show that Mr.. Hill is losing his
grip on that road and there is some
reason to believe that the s.merger' may
be not SO close as formerly. It was long
ago written "that no man can serve two
masters equally. It is quite evident to
observers that the Great Northern is
MIR Hills first and only love and that
the Northern Pacific has had but SUBJ
ordinate position in his manipulations
and policy. If the N. P. again takes it's
place as an independent railway, it will
be probably found that in the meantime,
while the Great Northern has been
reaching out its arms in many direc-
tions, that the Northern Pacific has had
many Of its important and useful finger
ends cut off or mutilated. Such split
in the merger might mean great deal
to these "Four Corners" in the future,
for both these roads will be looking for
an Independent entrance to Manitoba
and the Canadian northwest at or near
this point.

Worlds Pure Food Show
Gives Highest Awards

Calumet Baking Powder received the
highest award at the Worlds Pure
Food Exposition held in Chicago, No.
vember, 1907. This is quite a compli-
ment, considering that it had to be bet
ter in Purity and Quality than any of
the other brands.
The great progress that the Calumet
Baking Powder Co. has made in the
past twenty years is due to the fact that
they are the only manufacturers IN the
worldsputting out strictly high-grade
baking powder at moderate price.
This, together with the fact that Calu-
met Baking Powder Co. is in no way
affiliated with the Trust, has won for it
millions of friends and patrons.
That it retails for 25c per pound, or
about one half the price of the Trust
brands, is positive proof that the price
is right.
The Calumet Baking Powder Co. has
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
best baking powder that can be manu-
factured should retail for 25c per pound.
Calumet is made under the most ideal
conditions, being manufactured in a
new, modern, we'll lighted factory, which
is perfectly ventilated, scrupulously
clean and sanitary. 1t is equipped with
all modern machinery and is one of the
largest factories of its kind in the United
States.
Every can of Calumet Baking Powder
Is put through rigid chemical and
practical test before it leaves the fac
tory.
By receiving this award, Calumet has
established standard by which all
other baking powders will be judged,
for it means that Calumet Baking Pow.
der is positively the best in every res.
pect that can be manufactured.

THE PRIMARY LAW TO DATE.

1t is somewhat interesting to observe
the change in opinion about the primary
law as evidenced by the acts and criti-
cisms of the politicians and newspapers
now that they are in the midst of an
election and are subjected to it's limi-
tations.
At the time of its passage hardly a
newspaper in the state openly opposed
it-and the Pioneer Express was hooted
at as sort of old granny because we
could not see that it was any improve
ment over the former system and proph-
esied that it was but fake remedy for
the evils of which it was supposed to be
the cureall.
The original primary law of 1905 in ite
first section defined the objects of the
new system thus:
Section l. Objects. It is the inten-
tion of this act to purify and reform the
methods by which organized political
parties shall make nominations of can
didates = + and to perpetuate and
strengthen political parties by eliminat-
ing therefrom the evils hereby sought to
be corrected and to secure to each indi-
vidual member and delegate of such
party an absolute freedom and lnde-
pendence in the expression of his pref
erences relating to nominations by such
parties, and to prevent and prohibit the
use and influence of the methods similar
to that known as the unit rule, and this
statute shall be so construed as to give
force and effect to this expressed in
tention."
Let US see what the "force and effect
has been to date. In the state affairs
nominations are made by ."conference''
and committee. In the county, nomina-
tions are made largely by committee.
Instead Of ''perpetuation Of party" the
result IS disorganization and division
with little or no opportunity Of getting
together through any recognized tribu-
nal. There hasn't solitary .evil" been
eliminated, but many have been added.
The afreedom and independence Of
each voter and delegate and the abro.
cation Of the unit rule isfanother howl.
ing farce Of the primary Law. Two.
thirds Of the Minot convention are
bound ywhat is pract Ylly .unit''
rule BY virtue of the 'iA &ructions" 81

s'progressives" nearly all were placed Id
aself.sealsrs before leaving home.

The progressive papers are bowling
"hypocrlte" at Secretary of State Blais-
dell because he is after the Standard
Oil Co. They say that he is just doing
it for campaign purposes. Well, il he
didn't do anything then they would say
that he didn't do his duty, and that
probably because he was bought up by
the Standar! money. It is always diff
cult to please people who don't want to
be pleased. So far as we have been
able to Judge Mr.. Blaisdell has been at
tending to his business all the way
along.

But, says the primary law supporter,
when the people come to the primary
they can then vote as they please and
the real choice of the people can be and
will .be known.
The absurdities of this statement are
many. One is, that while it is yet but
little over five weeks to election that
there isn't man in Pembina city today
who can sit down and write out the
names Of the candidates proposed and
the Offices they are running for.
There isn't man who. il the list was
handed him, could give definite reasons
why he should or should not vote for or
against one half the persons whose
names appear as candidates. The aver
age voter as he is handed his ballot
when he enters the primary booth can
not possibly vote except by guess on
fifty per cent of the names that he finds
in the printed list.
The average voter does have a fair
idea as to his choice of congressman,
governor, one or two state officers per-
haps, most of the county officers, but
the rest is guess work pure and simple.
He would far prefer that some men in
whom he has confidence should meet in
convention and select ticket for him.
He can know but little of the geograph-
ical representation and but little or
nothing of the personal character or
ability of the many strangers who have
set themselves up as candidates, or are
The candidates of certain cliques.
The latter principle could still be car
ried out more sensibly, impartially and
satisfactorily, by the party organiza-
tions, ignoring, las they do now the
preliminaries Of the primary law, calling
and holding conventions just as they
Always did land which no law can forbid
under the constitution of the United
states,) nominating candidates and
then submit these nominations to q vote
of their own partisans at the primary
election-and if anybody who failed IN
getting nomination from the conven-
tion wants to run, let him enter by the
petition gates provided by the primary
law and contest, but it is certain that
won't happen very often.
The fact that no party can exist with
out some sort of organization is very ap-
parent, and with only one convention in
four years, the disintegration will be a
certainty.
