Norman Hapgood, editor of
Golfers Weekly, in addressing
the classes in journalism at the
University of Wisconsin, defend
ed the so-called muck raking. :"
He said: 'The business of ex-
posure of abuses, so-called muck
raking,' should never cease in the
American newspapers. The name
muck raking' has been thrown
to the public by those interested
in creating a feeling Of ridicule
Of exposure Of abuses. With any
movement to stop such exposure,
however, you take away the
greatest usefulness of journalism
to the country. People cannot
go themselves to the source for
truth. They must depend upon
the newspaper writer's to present
the facts to them. -

We understand thai Dale, who
is charged with murder in the
second degree, will make an ef-
fort to show that he was not
responsible for the condition of
Gina Lein, in tn hopes of max
ing the case appear less against
him. Dale swore on the stand
a. the hearing that he supposed
that he was responsible for the
young woman's condition, but,
after considering the matter, tits
said that he may conclude that
he was mistaken after all. This
would hardly make any differ
ence to the state, for the state
will not hinge it's case on wheth-
e. or not Dale was responsible
for Miss Lein's condition.

Editors are q very knowing

that their circulation requires
such excessive stimuli.
They usually swim near the
surface, and seldom go very
deep. Nevertheless, thy are ex-
ceedingly wary, and do not like
to duck when you get the hook.
Accordingly, amateurs find diff
Guilty in catching them. EXPORTS,
however, handle them With
greatest ease. The most ap-
proved way of catching them is
to secure a large display adver.
tisement, the larger The better

Davidson To The Front
Correspondent Say. Portal Legislation + Doing Good
Work-FIs Primary Edition Bill -WouldChange
Date Of Election to Third Tuesday in July

He has proven himself to be man
possessed Of great deal of will
power-one who believes in weigh
ing all matters thoroly entrusted 10
his care, before passing his opinion
thereon and it is safe to say That
when our eleventh legislative as
sembly closes, Mr.. Davidson will be
received by his constituents with
nothing but words Of approval
provided ne continues as he has
50 far, because as yet we have not
the slightest admonitlon to ofier.
The following are the changes
that will appear in MT.
Davidson's bill, and am glad to say
are considered to be a great I'M
provement to the present law:
1. Make date OF primary the Bird
Tuesday in July.
2. To do away with the ding fee
which now must accompany peti-'
ton. .#
8. It requires candidates for
county offices to get at least two
hundred and not more than three
hundred names of voters on thel:
petitions.
4. It allows all political parties
with less than five per cent OF total
vote of last election to go into
convention on the same day as our
primary and name their candidates
5. It takes supreme and district
Judges, state and county superinten-
dents out Of party politics.
6. It takes away the thirty per
cent heretofore required by the
state candidates. Now those secur'
ing The majority vote Of their party
shall be named as the candidates OF
that party at the fall election.
Z. It makes the legislative pledge
optional for U. S. Senator. Tnen
it takes AWAY the 40 per cent clause
of the vote of primary election on
U. S. Senator, requiring states Sec
rotary to certify to the candidate
who has received the most number
OF votes of his party. @
8. He prescribed for closed ba!
lot system same as Wisconsin law.

Hon. C. e. Davidson to the front:
We, as electors OF the 543rd legis-
lative district Of the state Of North
Dakota, have great deal to be
proud Of when we stop to consider
the class Of men WHO now have re-
presenting us On the legislature ct
Bismarck men who vote on bill
according to the dictates OF their
mind: not Influenced in any way
by the silver-tongued lobbyists whs
are % common in the halls Of the
papatol during the session trying to
tnplant in the minds Of the men,
befs what a good thing for tae
state 1t would be to pass certain
bill, which when looked into is
nothing more than pet scheme
Of one of the other Of the several
money organizations OF this state,
and always against the wishes OF
the farmer and the constituents
whom they represent. One of these
men, VINO until now has received a
limited amount of publicity thru
the press, and who is no other
than c. e. Davidson OF Portal, will
launch forth in a few days with a
new primary election bill, taking
for his foundation the present
bill, but making several very i'm
portant changes. AS We said De
fore Mr. Davidson has not been'
as much in the lime light as has
others in our legislative body, who
are daily introducing bills that are
moved, seconded and passed that
they be indefinitely postponed or
laid on the table for further con-
sheraton, but his word is a power
in the house, for the simple reason
that when ne speaks he says some
thing, and 1t is quite possible to
presume his bill will be received
and considered with great deal
OF earnestness and admiration. And,
it should be, as it will be one OF
the most important bills that will
come before the house at this ses.
sion, and another thing we are
glad to know, the phrase by Re-
quest" is not tackled onto the title.
