WORDS OF WISDOM.

The matchmaker doesn't always set
the world on fire.
1t doesn't pay to cry over spilled
milk, or to cro-s over it, either.
It's only when they can't beg, bor-
row or steal that some fellows will
go to work.
You can't always tell a belle by
her rings.
AS rule, the man who boasts that
he has never made an enemy doesn't
amount to much.
1t is a difficult matter to get a rep
utation on the strength of what you
are going to do some day.
Virtue that has never been put to
the test is poor asset.
Accept a favor from the average
man and he won't let you forget It
for the rest Of your natural life
Many a girl is fiighty who isn't ex-
actly an angel.
Where ignorance is bliss It's folly
to be one of those fellows who know
it all.
Industry is the watchdog that
keeps the wolf from the door.
1t sometimes happens that a fellow
gets reputation for genius simply
because he is TOO lazy to work.
1t is just as we'll to put of till to-
morrow the worries of to-day.
If you are going to patch up a
quarrel. don't hunt for a needle in a
haystack.
He who takes advantage OF the
weakness of others doubles his own
strength.

TWO OFFICES OR ONE OFFICER

The Bismarck Tribune decides that
there are two senatorial offices to be
filled at the ensuing elections.
The Pioneer Express in its remarks
last week did not attempt to decide,
only pointing out some difficulties in
the way of such an inference-as it is
only an inference-there being no direct
law whatever on the subject. We sug-
gested some possible complications and
this is the principal one.
Is the Office of senator one or two
officesP
We admit that the argument of the
Tribune that because they can be dis.
tinguished by "long" and "shart'
term there appears to be difference in
the two, which is not applicable exactly
to the cases We cite below, but the
opening paragraph Of the primary Law
of 19O7-and which we believe will be
the basis of any supreme court decision
that may be had and practically the
only basis in the law itself says, "It
Athe primary law shall be liberally
construed 80 that the real will of the
electors may not be defeated by any in.
formality or failure to comply with all
provisions of the la v in respect to either
giving of any notice or the conducting
OF the primary or certifying the results
thereof"
Ibis ''inten." of the law to get at
''the real will of the electors" therefore,
has something TO do with the question
as to the methods of presenting the
candidates on the ballots, as we'll as to
the candidates themselves.
Under this consideration, the query at
once appears, will the popular will be
better expressed by letting all candi-
dates run IN a bunch and the highest
two take the long and short terms re-
spectively, or would it be fairer for them
to be separated into two groups and the
candidates in each group be selected as
! il there were no other group?
In our example of two weeks ago we
let the two candidates in the first group
for the long term get 81 and 40 per cent
OF the votes, whicn sent the $40 msn'
out Of the race. In the second group
four candidates received around 25 per
cent each, and the highest two, who to-.
gether did not get as many votes as the
g per cent man in the first group, are
allowed to have q second trial at the fall
election and one Of them sure to be
elected.
Now, would it beathe will Of the elect
ors e make the man, with the 70 per
cent Tor Z long term take back seat and
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1909-11-26

. allow two others who received about
half as many votes each to run for a
''short" term? 1t is quite evident how
the "49" man wonld feel about it, while
on the 'face of the returns it looks as
if he would be the second choice if there
were an opportunity given for that
choice.
Again, the primary law in Sec. - says:
''That where there is more than one per-
son to be elected to the same Office the
persons to the number to be elected re-
ceiving the highest number of votes ca t
for such office shall be declared the
nominees"
Under this provision we have repre-
sentatives to congress, state senator's and
representatives, commissioners of rail
roads, county constables and justices all
elected by the highest plurality votes,
while the law specifically calls the SINH
lar offices to be filled 1.-THE sane office -
Now if in the election of two or more
representatives to congress the law says
"for the same Office" why not the same
for the Office of senator?
And, if two. or more representatives
are selected by plurality votes, why
should not two senators be selected the
same way when the same law further
says:
"The (senatorial) candidates of each
party shall be placed upon such ballot in
the same manner as the candidates for
state office and shall be voted for in the
same manner" "And it is
hereby made the duty of the secretary
of state to certify to the next session of
the legislature the name of the candi-
date of each party who receives the
highest number of votes for the office of
United States SENATOR
Personally, we believe that to declare
the contest to be for two separate offices
would be the simplest method and save
some complications, but it would not be
all smooth sailing.
From the primary law quoted it is very
evident that there is at least quasi
authority for calling it one or two offices
and we are therefore up against di-
lemma in the very beginning-and as
time and discussion go on We are very
likely to find others now unforeseen,
that must be settled somehow, law or
no law.
In this connection we would again
suggest that in this case, as in some
other instances, there is shown a neces-
sity for the etate constitution to give
the supreme court power to make pro
tenn laws and de facto methods of pro-
cedure, where the legislature has failed
to make the necessary provisions.

We have it from good authority that
John Flittie, attorney Of Williston, is in
the race for member Of congress. Mr.
Flittie was secretary Of state and elected
from Trail county, in early statehood,
and his acquaintance and experience ia
public affairs ought to place him well "a
