THE PRIMARY LAW.

North Dakotans have had some ex-
periences with the primary law. The
first was with a measure which applied
to only a part of the ticket.
Dissatisfied with its provisions its
advocates forced a statewide law. The
measure has been given one trial. Its
crudities were so apparent they dis
gusted many of the shnuters for the
law. They were not amended at the
last legislative session. The expense Of
becoming candidate under its pro-
visions are so great many good men
cannot afford to enter the contest.
DR.. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward university, is credited with be-
ing one Of the ablest educators and
closest observers of the present time.
Recently in the news columns of The
Me-. York Evening Post, DIR. Eliot
made the following characteristic ex-
plaTr. ion of the rejection of Massa-
chussEts of the state primary law:
First, rc5ody liked the direct pri-
mary systesr-nobody thought it was a
good system.
Secondly. II was expensive.
Thirdly, It afforded the public no
means of resisting the bosses.
Fourthly, it afforded no means OF
,prewenting activity OF the machine; in
deed, II strengthened the hold of the
machine on the party.
The dissatisfaction against the pri-
mary law that was evident in Massa-
.ehusetts may extend westward to North
Dakota. The weaknesses. the made
lGuacy and other objectionable features
iaf primary legislation may be fully
h alized 1t is too much to assume thai
IS measure will be rejected at an early
riod-but If the slow going eastern.
= were finally aroused to that point
there is prospect that North Dako.
tans will be equally discerning

THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The early Christmas shopping move
ment is now in full blast, and every
store in Fargo is crowded from morn
| ing till night with people who have the
money to spend and a laundering to
spend it.
The merchants all agree that the
holiday trade this season is better than
for many years past-and it is plain to
anybody who has the hardihood to
squeeze into the stores for purposes of
observation that the variety of holiday
merchandise is more bewildering than
ever before.
The inventive ingenuity of the land
seems to exert itself through the rest
of the year preparing new devices for
beguilding the dollars from the shop
per at Christmas time. The loaded-up
condition of departing shoppers-with
parcels in their arms and in their pock-
cts and under their hats--gives evil
dence that the new ideas in holiday
gifts, as well as the familiar old ones
are popular and waxing.
The real significance feature of the
holiday throngs is the evidence Of i'm
proved financial condition. People are
in better humor than for a couple of
years past. They spend more money
spend it more cheerfully-and manifest
a more marked disposition to enter into
the festive spirit of the Christmas sea-
son. All of this betokens a return, in
fair measure, of general prosperity.

Great Show at the Bijou.

The Bijou offers a fin bill this week,
both in the pictures and the special
features. The big noise" of the show
is the Musical Bensons, bell ringers
and expert producers of sweet sounds.
This fine feature is enthusiastically re-
ceived at every performance.
Mrs. Fosters work at the piano is
especially good. AL Duggan has a
mighty good illustrated song and the
pictures, beginning with the historic
Battle of San Juan Hill, are excellent.
All in all the Bijou is in for big
