The agitation that is being carried
On by the brewers trying to convince
the farmers that prohibition is a great
hinderance to them in disposing of
their products, reminds us of the old
Iowa farmer at a democratic mass
meeting. The speaker was urging the
defeat of the prohibitory law and in
his eIoquence he said: III prohibi-
ton carries in Iowa the distilleries

"hat Will you farmers do with all

DEMOCRATIC SHOE PlNcHEs.

A phaze Of the North Dakota Prim'
airy election law has come to light 1un.
der investigation that is causing the
party leaders of our friends the en-.
envy to sit up and take notice. 1t is
found in Sec. ~ of that law which
reads as follows: IF the total vote
cast for any party candidate or candi.
dates for any office for which nomina.
Ions are herein provided for, shall
equal less than 80 per cent of the total
Number Of votes cast for secretary
OF state of the political party, he or
thoy represented at the last general
election, no nomination shall be made
in that party for such Office"
Now the democrats two years ago
received the advantage of strife in the
republican ranks and succeeded in
landing several Offices and polling a
large vote, which victory they very
much gloried in. But what do they
find at this time? By referring to the
records of. two years ago. we find that
at the 1906 primaries Sheriff Bedford
democrat received 80 votes, while Mr..
Mclean republican nominee for the
same Office received 1887. Thus show
ing the comparative strength of the
two parties, and what may reasonably
be expected to be polled at the pri-
mary election.
What was the result of the election
held in the fall of the same year? For
secretary of state A. H. Berg, demo-
crat received SS7 votes in Ramsey
county. This was wholly due to the
strife in the republican ranks, which
was prevalent all over the state. It
set a mark high above the real
strength Of the democratic party in
Ramsey county, and has made their
task at this time a very difficult one.
According to the primary law, it
will be necessary for the democratic
nominees to poll at the primary elec-
ton 80 per cent of SS7 votes to get on
the ballot. Now when it Is taken into
consideration that this amounts to
poll of 266 votes at this primary for
each candidate as against 80 votes,
which was the highest cast by this
party two years ago, 1t will readily be
seen that they have job laid out for
them
Of course they will have to receive,
support from republicans to make the
raise and it is question how many
republicans there are that are so
charitably inclined as to lend their
assistance to the opposing party, in
order that they may be represented on
the ballot. Certain it Is that there is
less strife in the republican ranks than
there was two years ago and it is
also certain that if the democrats get
representation on the official ballot
they will have to get out and hustle

At the city council meeting Monday
night it was voted to submit to the
voters at the time of the municipal
election a project to tax the city prop

years CT as much thereof as is nee

annually for the purpose of maintain
ing q free public library in Devils
Lake, provided that Mr.. Andrew Car
negie would give to this city the
amount Of S15oOo.o0 for the erection of
a building for library purposes.
This il a matter that should have
the careful attention Of the voters, as
j. mears much to our city. It means
tie erection of fine new building

grown to that proportion that it is
Incumbent upon us not only to look

is no better way than by providing

ed to its list of announcements that of
Mr. L.. M. Lewis who aspires to the
office of County Auditor. Mr.. Lewis
states that he has been a resident of
Ramsey county for the past ten years
and has never held a public office. He
does not state in his card however
that he has during that time been
employed at clerical work almost all
the time and that his training has
been such as to fit him for the position
as well possibly as any man In the
county. Mr.. Lewis solicits the support
Of all republicans and we predict that
he will receive the support Of a goodly
number OF them. 49,:

saw in the gospel Of the true God that
Paul came to preach an end of his
profitable business as a maker of

that if Diana ceased to be the goddess
OF the Ephesians, they would no long
err worship at her shrines of silver and
gold. He, did not put his protest on
the true ground that if Paul's teach
ings were accepted his business would
be interfered with. He was too
shreWd for that. He warily appealed
to the religious patriotism of the peo-
pie, and raised up mob against Paul
by crying out, Great is Diana, the
goddess of the Ephesians, and this
man has come to destroy her!" So

, thing serious occurs than to wait until
! fatalities force them upon us. The
Star theatre, has windows along the
side where a person can almost step
out onto the ground, still it is thought
that a door in the side, marked exit
and left unlocked during performances
with the front and back exits would
be amply sufficient. But the armory
is veritable fire trap. The room is
large and many times is filed almost
to its capacity, and a fire in the build
ing under these circumstances, or for
that matter even a scare which SO Of
ten occurs in such places would be
only two known escapes, one from the
side door through which people can
pass only slowly and back door
from the stage which is known only
to few of the audience, and which can
be reached only with difficulty. The
windows are high. and practically of
no use for exit in case of panic. 1t
had been intimated that this matter
was to receive attention at the time
the license was considered, but the
ordinance failed to touch it. This is
matter that should receive attention,
or the time will surely come when in
action will be charged up against The
city.

SHOULD WE CHANGE,

AS We sat at the meeting of the city
council Monday evening and heard that
body considering the work for the
coming year we could but imagine what
amount of work would be retarded by
putting new people into these positions
at the coming election. The men who
compose the city council, from the
mayor down, have planned the work
to be done the coming summer, 1t is
quite large, and they are thoroughly
conversant with every detail OF it as
well as what has been done in the
past. With this in view it occurred
to us that it would be the height of
folly to make a change at this time.
That is of course if the members who
are now serving will accept another
term. There is bound to be some new
material added to this branch of our
city government, but it seems to us
that 1t should be as little as possible.
Were it a lucrative position to serve
as mayor or city alderman, it would
be a different thing, but it is conceded
that the compensation is nothing to
compare with the time devoted to the
duties of the Office, and when we find
good, competent men who are willing
to devote their time to the advance
ment of our city, 1t seems to us it is
mighty good plan to let them serve
as long as it is agreeable to them.
