THE GROWTH OF BISMARCK

Bismarck has a population at the
present time Of between five and six
thousand and is growing. Nothing is
more substantial evidence of growth
than the building that is in progress
in the city at the present time. And
the building is of permanent char
acter, brick buildings, modern hous-
es, and desirable property for rent
ing. Many of the residences being
erected in the city at the present
time will be occupied by the builders
as home property, and nothing tends
more quickly or more greatly to the
growth and substantial character of
a city than ''home' property.
If we could enlist all of the popu-
1ation of a city in the ownership Of
property we would have better gov
'erned city, a more intelligent and
careful voting population, a commun
ity more quickly alive to the good
of the city as a whole, because the
individual interest would breed a SEN
sible community interest. Bismarck
has the best natural townsite in the
state. It has the best water supply
in the state, it has natural drainage
streets that will serve without paw
ing. for many years, splendid resi-
dence sites, profusion of foliage
and trees, and every natural advan-
tage in the building Of a city.
With the growth and development
of this great western country 1t will
be the home city for men whose ac.
tivities lie In various parts of the
4 state but who make their headquar
tiers In the city offering the mos
conYeniences and the best civic con
ditions, from the standpoints o
health, opportunity and physical con
ditions. And these facts will increas
the growth of the city largely with
In the next ten years and insure per
manency and prosperity.

ADVERTISING AGENTS:
MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE FrTTEsT WILL SURVIVE.

The crop conditions through the
state were not as good generally as
earlier indications led us to believe,
harvest conditions have been good
and none of the crop was lost
through adverse weather conditions
at the time of gathering the crop.
And reports from the state as
whole are to the effect that there
will be a big total volume of grain
at a. big price, which means general
prosperity for the state.
This business OF grain growing is
ticklish at the best, and where the
winds and the sun and the rain are
the potent factors Of crop making,
it is not to be expected that all con-
ditions at all times will be good. The
lesson of the the value of good farm
ing has been. taught pretty effective
ly this year, and the lesson of d.
versifying has been preached for a
good many years with more or less
success, but we think the good seed
is spreading.
The time is coming in farming, as
in everything else, when the f1ttest
will survive-when the man who tills
the soil according to sane and sensi
BILE methods and who realize not up.
on one crop but upon number Of
crops and interests, will prosper, and
his fellow farmer who goes about the
business haphazard, and without
needing the lessons of a score Of sea
sons, will be crowded out.
Altogether, we do not know of !:
state that will stand more punish
ment either in the way of advers
conditions or adverse methods, thai
North Dakota. The possibilities o
the state, under the high state o
continuous cultivation and care main
tanned in older states, are enormous

men Who Are Dissatisfied
Over Present Conditions

Winnipeg, Aug. 1S.-The departure
of the head engineers and trainmen's
branches of organized railroad labor
Is current talk among the strikers this
evening. ]. H. McVety is also alb
sent, presumably at Ottawa, where a
little reunion of the warning factors
in the strike is to take place as re-
suit of alleged government interven-
ton. Prominent officials of the C. P.
r. also disappeared quietly, and it is
assumed that they, too, will join the
circle in the east.
Secret polling is the latest action of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Train
men. Discomfort with the manner in
which engines are handled in the
round house caused marked ten
dency on the part of firemen to walk
out. Opinion differs, however, as many
firemen do not think the time quite
ripe, and SO in order to learn the feel
ing of the majority, a secret poll is
being held. General dissatisfaction is
also felt by the engineers and train
men, and accordingly the chiefs of the
local engineers and trainmen unions
are now in the east.
Running conditions are reported to
be unsatisfactory, and the engine men
are not In, a friendly mood

disaffection within a party is the dill
ferences regarding the recognition OF
aspirants for Office and candidates
for preferment, and the Democrats in
the northwest have had little of this
contend with. So anxious have they
been to obtain little success as
party that the matter of candidates
has not entered, and the question
has been, not who should lead the
party to victory but who should offer
himself as a sacrifice in the hopeless
cause. ~
The differences of the Republicans
have encouraged the Democrts and
unfortunate conditions within the
Republican party have given the
Democrats in some states a measure
of success that was not an indorse-
ment of the Democrats but the re-
suit of quarrel among the Repub-
licans. The passage of general pri
mary laws in these staes has put the
business of making nominations di-
rectly up to the people, and no indi-
vidual who recognizes the necessity
of party organization can properly
refuse to accept the arbitrament Of
. the Republicans at what might be
termed a general mass convention
! So we find the differences within the
ranks of the Republicans disappear
| ing and of course it ends any Demo
cratic hope of accidental lease O
power in a Republican state.

THE THIRTY PERCENT CLAUSE.

THE THIRTY PERCENT CLAUSE.
Judge Templeton of Grand Forks,
has ruled that the thirty percent pro-
vision of the state primary election
law, which is that provision that re-
quires a candidate of party to re-
ceive thirty percent of his party vote
for the Office of secretary Of state
at the preceding election to entitle
him to get on the official ballot as
party nominee, is constitutional.
In his remarks in handing down
his decision, Judge Templeton is said
to have passed some structures on the
primary law in a general way but to
have found that this particular pro-
vision of the law is not repugnant
to the constitution. 1t has been said
that any man has the right to be a
candidate for an Office, and that the
legislature cannot interfere with that
right by enacting provisions that
make it unusually difficult for him
to run, but this is taking too broad
a view Of the rights of individuals
to become candidates for Office.
The legislature fixes qualifications
of men who run for Office, fixes re-
quirements in the way of defining
the number Of signers to petition,
and in various ways regulates the
whole business OF Office seeking. Any
person, 1t may be said, has the right
to aspire to an Office, but he must
proceed about the business of run.
ming in an orderly, proper and law
full way, and the legislature has the
right to prescribe that. But Judge
/ Templeton's decision is not final, ant
| the case will probably go to the SUI
preme court At the same time
Judge Templeton is recognized as {
district judge with a good knowledge
of the general principles of the law
and his decision would indicate tina
there is no glazing unconstitutional
ity in this requirement. * - >;
