THE PRIMARY FARCE.

The people of North Dakota are not
the only ones who are learning that
the statewide primary law is about
the greatest political farce that was
ever perpetrated on the great Ameri-
can public. Since New York legisla-
tors refused to be caught by the fad,
a great many comments have been
, made on the plan. Down in Tennessee
the better class of democrats are fight
ing the measure, claiming 1t has sad
died the worst element of democracy
onto the state. In Iowa the objections
to the law are most pronounced, as in
dicated by the following editorial from
The Ottumwa Courier:
The New York legislature Yesterday
voted down direct primary BILL the
passage of which had been urged bv
former President Roosevelt. The
members Of this legislature were guild
ed In their action by a committee
which last year visited several states
In the west and secured first hand in
formation relative to the workings of
the primary law. They were acquaint-
ed with the theory of the primary law
as was the former president when he
was moved to endorse the measure
pending in New York, but the New
York legislative committee found
when they visited states where the
direct primary was in operation and
interviewed those who had practically
tried it, that the primary did not work
out in practice what 1t promised in
theory.
The primary attempts to do by
direct action what can only be done in
IN intelligent way by a representa-
tive proceeding.
For the election of delegates from
voting precincts to county conventions
the primary will answer very well, for
the reason that the voters are ac-
auainted with the men for whom they
are voting. They know their person.
atty, their character and their ability.
But state wide primary has been
proved in Iowa and in every other state
where It has been tried, to be farce.
Taking out the candidates for gov
ernor, all names on the state ticket are
practically unknown to the mass OF

FOR BETTER WATER.

AS was expected the voters endorsed
the bond issue for both the water
works and filtration plant and the mu-
nicipal lighting proposition. 1t is now
too late to secure a plant for this sea-
son, but unless some flaw is found in
the resolutions it is probable that early
in 1911 the people of Fargo will be
drinking better water.
There were some votes against the
water bonds. A few people opposed
the idea because of fear Of increased
taxes. Some others antagonized the
idea because they neither drink water
nor take baths-and an improved sup
ply doesn't mean anything to them.
There was opposition among the driv-
ers of the artesian water wagons and
their friends because it will mean less
business for them, especially among
those who have city water in their
homes. Then there were some homes
that are not connected with the water
works and the occupants were indiffer-
emit.
The water bond proposition carried
by a much larger vote than the mu-
nicipal lighting bonds. There were
some people who do not want the lat
ter proposition established, but they
believed 1t a good plan to authorize
a bond issue and then-instead of
erecting plant-hold it as a club over
the existing company to insure low
rates.

John Peterson, the manager Of the
Grand Pacific hotel at Bismarck has
probably the best looking girls In his
dining room of any hotel dining room
in the state Of North Dakota, excepting
OF course Fargo. This fact can be east
ly proven by the commercial travellers
who stop at both places. One of
the girls down at the Grand Pacific, ac-
cording to Mr.. Peterson, is mighty
good looking and she never lacks for
admirers. She has steady just as
every other good looking girl ought
to have and one night the manager
Of the hotel heard her expostulating
with her steady because he had been
drinking and there was no fond linger-
Ing kiss Of good night. He promised
to stop drinking beer, with the remark
that If he didn't she would find it out
The next night she went down the
street and he brought her home to the
hotel and Mr.. Peterson heard her say:
Nothing doing in the OSCILLATION line
tonight. You've been eating sensen,
and the poor fellow went away with
his head hanging down and wearing in
addition to his clothes a disconsolate
look. The next night the same thing
happened, only this time she said
