The newspaper men Of the seventh
judicial district are to meet at Grand
Forks next Friday. This organization
was started at Grafton last fall and is
intended as business association for
the fraternity. 1t has been found that
the state is too large for state associa-
tion owing to the difficulty in getting
the editors together from long distances.
Such local associations are being formed
in different parts of the state and it may
be possible to afterward arrange state
association which may be carried on as
q delegate body in manner similar to
lodges. or other local societies. This is
a time when all sorts Of people with
similar work or profession see the benefit
of union. The newspaper people ought
not to be- the last to learn the lesson.

this country. The commission is sending
our large number of circulars with
questions to be answered by the re.
cipients, referring to these matters.
Whether the commission will be able to
do anything with the information they
are collecting remains to be seen. In
our opinion, the welfare of the farmers
as a class, depends mostly on them
selves. This is especially true of social
and educational matters. One of the
greatest difficulties of the farmers
getting together-or farmers wives
getting together-for mutual benefit,
Is the natural isolation of farm life.
This, however, is being largely helped
out by the rapidly increasing lines of
telephones, and in the east by the nu-
merous electric railways, which in a
brief period will also traverse the west
and particularly this level valley. While
it is true that the farmers have labored
under business disadvantage because of
their isolation, weShave always felt that
the women on the farms had always the
worst of it. because the woman is natur.
ally of social nature, and in her case
communication with neighbors Is always
difficult, and especially in this cold
country the weather compelled her to
often remain in the house for many days
without seeing neighbor. Of course,
now that the country is more settled up,
this isolation is not so great, but in the
early days it must have been very lone
some for the homesteader's wife. How
ever, we hope the government commits
sion will be able to make some suggest
ions that will be for the benefit of the
home and social life of the farmer.

Good Roads,.

Good Roads for North Dakota is the
slogan that have been adopted by the
Commercial Club of Grand Forks for it's
principal work during the coming winter.
The movement is one which it is believed
will be of interest to every community
in the state, because of the fact that a
large part of the commercial activity of
every city and town in the state depends
directly on it's surrounding territory.
In hauling its products to market and in
going to town to buy supplies, trade will
move in the direction where travel is
best and the city or town with good
roads leading into it from all directions
IS the busy town.
To start the movement the Grand
Forks Club has called a good roads
conference to be held in that city Dec.
9th. Mr.. D. Ward King, of Missouri,
who is road expert and authority of
national repute will be the principal
speaker. The University, Agricultural
College, State Farmers Institute and
other state institutions will be re-
presented.
The Grand Forks meetings are to%be
public. A special invitation is issued to
commercial clubs, farmers clubs, county
commissioners, township chairmen and
road supervisors, members-elect to the
legislature, and In fact all interested
persons. Mr.. King is known all over the
United States where good roads are
talked. He is powerful and entertain
ing speaker of wide experience. He has
helped to draft the good roads laws of
several states and is in every way a
practical road expert.

SHALL A PLURALITY RULE2

Apropos to the question of the re-
sponsibility of the legislator to his own
constituency. For example, suppose an
issue in the late election had been the
removal of the university from Grand
Forks to GONE other point, for the pur-
pose of consolidating the educational in
stitutions of the state.
If the total vote had been, say 100000,
and 10000 votes were for the removal to
Fargo, 25,OOO to Valley City, 25,OO0 to
Mayville, and %, 900 to have it remain at
Grand Forks, would the Herald then de-
sire it's own county legislators to vote in
the legislature for the city that had re-
ceived the most votes?
The Herald in its arguments referring
to the present senatorial situation, and
to the ballot proposed by US, makes a
pluralitya choice-bnt we doubt IN a
case like the above that it would follow
its own teachings.
Suppose the issue had been re-sub-
mission, and large majority of the
legislators had been elected because they
we're in favor of the abolishment of the
prohibition law, but that the Grand
Forks county legislators had been elect
ed because they we're favorable to pro-
hibition, should the Grand Forks repre-
sentatives then vote with the majority
in the legislature? Or should they still
continue to represent and fight for the
views of their immediate constituents?
Even majorities are sometimes wrong,
but according to the Herald, state wide'
majorities should govern, and not local
wishes, in the case of legislators, when
voting for y. 8, Senator's.

THAT SENATORIAL BALLOT.

The editor of the Herald does not like
our proposed senatorial ballot. We did
not expect that he would. The principal
difference between Editor Davies and
ourself in this matter is that he argues
from theoretical standpoint while the
ballot that we proposed is based on
present facts as given by the law and the
constitution.
Editor Davies wants to abolish parties
and make the whole election machinery
practically a pure democracy. Every
body vote for everything without any
partisan interference or action.
Without stopping to argue whether
this would be better system or not, it
is enough to say that it is contrary to
the whole fabric, system, law and con-
etitution of the country.
This is representative government.
1t wass so conceived and has SO continued.
1t is not democracy. The logical result
of the arguments of the Herald is that
the president, vice president, senators
and representatives should be elected
by vote of the whole United-States-
ignoring all state boundaries. That
would be pure democracy in the nation
But, as we said, we have an entirely
different system. States are recognized
as separate soyereignties. Senators
representatives and presidents are elect.
ed by states and not by popular vote.
Senators and presidents are not voted
for by the people at any time. All
these are selected by representatives
elected by the people, No man as a
voter ever voted for president and ne
man as voter ever voted for senator,
nor can he under the constitution of The
United States. .-sa y

house and occupied by James Johns
OF the Hartman Abstract company,

a mere accident.
Mrs. Johns was attending to her
house work about 10 o'clock and
hearing a noise outside. went to see
what caused 1t. and upon opening the
door the flames burst into her face,
and grabbing her baby she ran out
side TO find the entire dwelling en-
veloped in flames.
AS the house is out of the city
limits and situated at a great distance
from the nearest hydrant, it was inn
possible to get water to 1t and al
though a large crowd Immediately
went to the assistance OF Mr.. Johns,
1t was impossible to check the flames
or to save any of the furniture.

There was no wind blowing at the

for fully an hour and being located
on the hill on the north side of the
river could be plainly seen from every
portion Of the city.
The residence was owned by l.

Haldane Dickson about 12 years ago,

in the past few years. Mr Johns
rented the house from Oldenburg
about two years ago.

MRS. wILLABY SEEKS DIVORCE
After 81 Years of Married Life Athe-

After a married life of nearly 81
years Mrs Barbara A. Willaby of
Athena, has started divorce proceed
ings against William P. Willaby. The
suit was filed this morning by Pet
erson, Peterson & Wilson and the
complaint contains some startling al
legations against the defendant.
1t declares that he has committed
adultery at divers times with Matte
Dell Hendren and that for some time
past he has shown a desire to seek
the society of that woman rather than
Of his lawful wife.
The Willabys were married at
Athena on December Q, 1877 and have
three daughters, two Of whom 'are
aged 20 and 25 respectively. The
property claims have already been
satisfactorily settled by stipulation
and agreement.

Market for Old Horseshoes.

Vice Consul Ernest Vollmer states
that one OF the constantly growing
imports into the Chinese Province Of
Shantung through the port of Tsing-
tau is old horseshoes, which leads
him to give the following particulars,
One steamer alone In November
brought 800 tons of this scrap iron
from Hamburg. The market for these
worn out shoes seems to be almost
without limit. Chinese iron dealers
buy these horseshoes and sell them
to knife and tool manufacturers all
over the province. 1t is claimed by
the Chinese that the temper Of this
class Of iron makes it the best obtain
able for knives and cutlery and also
good for other tools. The reason as
cribed for this is that the constant
beating the shoes have received
under the feet of horses has given
them a peculiar temper absolutely
unobtainable in any other way, and
that tools made from them are su-
perior to all others.
