had in the way of abundant crops in
the past seven or eight years. We
learn the wisdom of laying by little
something for the future. We learn
the evils of improvidence.
There has not been much liquidation
in North Dakota in the past seven or
eight years. The hunger for land has
been great. Farmers have added to
their holdings, and to their obliga-
tions. 1t is natural to want more of
this rich fertile soil, but it is ques-
ton whether it is not well to stop and
see the wisdom of some liquidation

and starting in with clean score, de-

several sections poorly. There is
world of food for sensible reflection
in a period of short crops. And the
best of it is that this Is not necessarily
bitter reflection. For there will be
enough in North Dakota and to spare
But there will be nothing to waste
And the quicker we learn not to waste
the more prosperous we will be.

CONSERVATION AT HOME.

Conservation at a distance is not as
tangible thing as conservation near at
hand. This is proven in the with.
draWal of millions of acres of land
from final proof and from settlement
in the western part of North Dakota,
because it contains COAL In the Lem.
mon land district alone, bordering the
states Of North and South Dakota
along the Milwaukee lines, some four
million acres has been withdrawn.
This comprises nearly all the govern
ment land in the district. The with
draWal means that until the status of
the land is established, quarter sec
ton by quarter section, final title will
not be passed by the government to
the homesteader. except it be to the
surface of the land, with the coal
rights reserved. This. of course, makes
it difficult if not impossible for settlers
to get loans upon committed proofs or
receivers receipts. Loan agencies are
shy of half titles.
The matter will be some time set
tied. and justice done to the home
steader. In the meantime there will
be good deal of worry and embar-
rassment over the withdrawal order of
the government. 1t will doubtless be
the policy of the government in carry
ing out the homestead law to pass
title only to the surface of the land
for purposes of agriculture. The gov
eminent will reserve the coal rights
to itself. This establishes Ignite coal
as valuable fuel. But so far as the
actual farmer is concerned, he would
be better off if there were no work
able deposits of Ignite on his land.
Some of us who have been wonder
ng that there should be opposition
in other states to the government |
policy of conservation, may better un.
lerstand the feeling that exists when |
great share of whole state is locked i
Up pending an inquiry into the land.
The land in western North Dakota is
o great extent chiefly valuable for
agricultural purposes. But under the
conservation policy the
;oal deposits must not be overlooked.
Md this means delay in final proofs
md homestead filings. In the end
he matter will be justly settled, we
believe. But like all matters of the
lind. it takes time.

THE THIRTY PER CENT CLAUSE

We haven't any particular interest
in the democratic action to test the
80 per cent provision Of the primary
law, except as we have live interest
In any matter affecting the right OF
the legislative assembly properly tC
regulate political parties. But we must
object to the argument in some of our
democratic contemporaries that this
provision depriveS voters of equal
rights and privileges. We do not be.
leve any such argument will hold. A
political party has statutory and not
constitutional rights. 1t is recognized
by the law merely from the fact that
political parties are elements of gov.
eminent, and their actions must be
regulated by some authority, and the
law has always regulated political par
ties. 1t has regulated their caucuses,
conventions, selection of delegates,
manner of nominations and various
other matters. There is no reason
that we can see why the legislature
cannot regulate the proportion of the
total vote political party must cast
under the primary to be recognized as
a political party at all. The only ele.
ment to be considered is whether that
percentage Of total vote required is
reasonable. We should say that a
provision calling for only third of
the total vote OF the party to insure
party nomination was not by any
means unreasonable.
II a 80 per cent provision is unlaw-
full, then party nominations may be
made by ten, fifteen, score or hun.
dred votes. But we do not think the
question Is as to the right of the legis-
lature to fix a certain percentage. We
think there is no question of that.
The only question is as to whether 30
per cent is reasonable requirement.
That is less than third of the total
party vote. Why should political
party be recognized. if less than 80
per cent of the members go to the
polls and vote, or if more than two.
thirds of them choose to participate
in the ballotting of the majority party?
The 30 per cent provision of the
primaries is in part designed to pre-
serve party lines. 1t is somewhat eff.
fective, or ought to be, in keeping
from voting the democra-
tic ticket and democrats from voting
the republican ticket. Such a provis-
ion is wise and necessary. There is
nothing unconstitutional about it, and !!
it strikes us to be an entirely wise,
sane and reasonable regulation.

4 LESSON OF ECONOMY.

This is an optimistic people. The
residents of North Dakota are not to
be discouraged by short crop. Old
timers of the state point to the hard
ships of the pioneers of twenty-five
and thirty years ago and declare that
the present generation does not know
anything about hard times. Wheat
fields with short straw have been cut
and the grain found to yield five to
eight bushels of splendid wheat. The
price is good, and the yield will be
fair in many parts of the state. Fields
that were thought to be ruined are
perking up with late rains. Farmers
are securing the highways and byways
for hay and are finding it. They are
cutting closer, looking harder and find
ing more feed than they thought was
possible. It all shows how we can
waste when we have an abundance
and save when we have a short crop.
We are a wasteful people, anyway.
We farm carelessly, in many partic-
ulars. We do not save much by-pro-
duct. When hay is plentiful we cut
the best places and leave the shorter
xrass 20. We do not all look ahead
from fat times to lean ones.
It is a pretty good lesson that we
get once in while, when times grow
1 little tight, and crops are short. We
learn the lesson of economy. We learn

ALLEGED BANDIT
MUST FACE JURY
s
John Schaetz, Wounded Brew
cry Worker, Held for Trial
on Robbery Charge

OAKLAND, March 3.-John Schaetz
brewery worker, was held for trial
before the superior court by Police
Judge Samuels this morning on a
charge of robbery. The testimony of
Arnot Johanson, a Z year old boy of
East Oakland, supplied the final link
of circumstantial evidence which the
magistrate considered as warranting a
trial by jury.
Schaetz is charged with holding up
Adam Crafts saloon in Park avenue.
East Oakland, the night of January
5. The masked bandit who robbed the
place walked out of the front door
after rif1ing the till, but was met at a
side door by the bar tender, S. G. Sven
son. Swenson shot the robber in the
side and was fired on at once by the
bandit, who ran.
DR.. S Boolsen of Fruitvale testified
yesterday also, describing Schaetz'
appearance at his office late the night
of January s, suffering from revolver
wound in the left breast. Today Arnot
Johanson took the stand and told of
finding pistol and a black mask in a
mudhole four blocks from Crafts sa-
loon. Detectives McSorley and Hodg-
kins testified to minor occurrences, and
to the fact that Schaetz's clothes left
at Doctor Boolsen's place were soiled
with mud Prosecuting Attorney Hen
nessey argued that the prisoner got
into the mud while wading into the
hole to drop his mask and weapon.
Schaetz has wife and three children
living in Fruitvale.

|PfRUKE ELUSIVE TO
WELL KNOWN SINGER
Would Greet Paris With Covered
Head, but Failure of Periwig

BERKELEY, March S.-Friends of
Clinton R. (Brick) Morse, wealthy
clubman and musician and a well
known graduate of the university, to-
day learned for the first time that
Morse's shining pate was to have been
covered by a peruke, teupee, periwig
or some other kind of a head dress,
but fate would not have 1T that way.
Morse planned his coup detat when
he left here last summer to study
music at Paris. He made the arrange
ments for the peruke with a San Fran
cisco maker. with the understanding
that the head dress was to he ready in
time for his departure abroad.
There was difficulty in matching the
color and the wig did not accompany
Morse to New York He, however,
waited there the coming of the hair

which was to transform him in the
eyes of the Parisians. But the wig
failed to arrive.
He sent telegram after telegram and
finally the wig was shipped by express,
arriving the day after Morse, in dis
gust, took the steamer for Havre.
Morse saw the sights of that French
port while waiting for the next steamer
with the peruke.
He also visited the'environs of Paris
killing time, but still the wig did not
come. In disgust he finally gave up
the idea of wearing a head dress and
unadorned he was introduced to Paris

ally arrived, has found a resting place
at the bottom of his trunk
Morse's friends here heard of his
