jamestown Alert: The Grand Forks
Herald has already commenced TO sug-
gest in an underhand way, that while
the legislators elected to carry out an
expressed wish Of the voters, must do
so In all honor, that the voter can dis
regard the same principle of action and
support candidates OF the opposite par
ty II he sees fit to do so. 1t is hard
TO see where the distinction comes in.
"A voter who participates in a party
contest, and supports candidates pledg-
ed to certain political convictions is as
much morally bound to support the
choice of the majority of his party as
soctates as a member of the Iegisla-
ture is to register the will of the ma.
jority in the legislature The Herald
has acquired the unenviable habit of
clamoring for the nomination of it's
favorite party candidates before the
primaries and when they are not Sc
lected by the majority of voters urges
the election of candidates of the op-
posite party for no other good reason
than its own favories are not the lucky
ones. That is the kind of politics that
strikes friends in the back and endeav-
ors to escape responsibility, and with
mole-like purpose, seeks to disrupt
sound and orderly organization, the
necessity of every good government.

Bismarck Tribune: The Grand Forks
Herald, by system of logic peculiarly
us own, says voters are absolyed
irom the necessity Of supporting a tick
ct after they are participate in the pri-
naries, but that legislators must stand
by the senatorial primary result. This
IS one OF The Heralds noted cases of
tweedle- dee and tweedle- dun. AS a
matter Of party honor, voters are fairly
pound to support the ticket that is
nominated by party primaries, after
they participate in the primaries, even
though the choice of the majority may
not suit them. Otherwise, we shall soon
nave no parties at all. The voter who
goes into a primary contest with the
mental reservation that if the choice of
the majority does not suit him he win
bolt the ticket is pretty poor repre-
sentative of his party This ia a gov
eminent Of majorities. The Herald's
logic is framed to suit it's own ag-
grteved state of mind. If some of The
Heralds pet candidates had been chos-
en-, 1t would have preached no such
doctrine.

Rolette Examiner: Senator McCum-
Der has been nominated and will be
returned to the senate to succeed him
self. The attacks upon McCumber's
record were vicious and persistent and
greatly unwarranted. These attacks
We're based on partisan views and left
out of consideration all the things that
might have been said in favor of his
work in the senate. The result is sat
isfactory and shows that the discredit
sought to be attacked to Senator Nc
Cumber's work, was not taken serious
ly by the voters of the state. On the
other hand Congressman Gronna had
obtained such a hold on the people by
his attitude in congress that he was
invincihle as was generally conceded
before the primary election. His ele-
walton to the senate was due to this
stand more than to any unusual per-
formances in the house on matters of
legislation.
The prediction that Hanna would be
high man in the congressional race
sustained. For the second place Hell
gesen and Skulason were placed on ia
vorites and the man recognized by the
parry HdCHtllSEy won out, having. an
advantage that was rather hard to
overcome.
For lieutenant governor Burdick was
clearly in the lead from the start and
the result was not in the realm of con-
lecture. AS TO other state candidates
there was more difficulty except, per-
haps, as to attorney general, where it
was apparent. that Miller would be-
nominated by a large majority

Valley City Times Record: Far be
1t from The Times Record to throw SO
much as a drop of cold water on Gov
ernor BurlSe's presidential boomlet.
But in connection with the rather sus-
piciously noisy demonstration made
along that line by the "unterrifed" at
Devils Lake yesterday two obvious
facts obtrude themselves
In the first place. not even among the
governors most enthusiastic following
can anyone be found who is credulous
enough to believe that Burke has a
ghost OF a show OF being chosen as the
democratic standard bearer in 1872
or any other year. 1t is our recollec-
ton that never in the history of the
country has presidential candidate
been chosen from territory lying west
Of the Mississippi. Nor has Governor
Burke become such monumental fig-
ure as to make an exception to this
rule come within the range of POSSIBLE
ity. The idea Is absurd.
In the second place, 1t is easily con-
ceivable that democratic leaders in
this state have doped it out that the
hitching Of Burke's name to a prcsi-
dential--or even vice presidential
rainbow would be slick way TO create
a diversion under which he would be
carried into the governors Office for
third term. In other words, the demo-
Gratis propose to gain by noisy stealth
that which they could hardly hope to
win ia a sober, well considered con-
rest.
This puts 1t UP to the republicans.
TO what extent can they be pulled anii
hauled by noise and fustian BIZ sound
and fury? Il would be d good idea for
republicans to cit down ana think d
minute before they SO to the polls on
election day.

Beach Chronicle: What's the mat
Ter with the North Dakota primary?
from all over the state there come ex-
pressions of dissatisfaction with the
number Of votes cast. Now, as the
primary Is virtually the election in this
state why do not more people take an
interest in what directly concerns
them? Apathy will hardly account for
the light vote cast. The average farm
er mas some sort of idea of the way the
government ought to be run, and he is
certainly interested as much as the
traoesman--as much affected by high
or low tariff as any. Hadn't our wise
legislators better take the primary
statute apart and inspect its insides?
There must be screw loose or a wheel
out somewhere.

N. D. POLITICAL GOSSIP

Grafton Record: At the head of our
eoltorial columns this week we publish
Lhe republican ticket that was selected
py the voters at the recent primary
election. Every republican in North
Dakota had an opportunity to express
ms wish as to who should. be the nom
lnees Of the party. Majority rule is
cardinal principle Of representative
government and the majority OF the
republicans OF North Dakota have plac-
ca their stamp Of approval on the tick
et nominated. The republican who fails
20 give his loyal and hearty support
20 the ticket Is not a believer in the
primary election law or the rule OF the
majority.

CHAIRMAN SMITH FAVORS
PROBE INTO UTILITIES
Urges Non-Partisan Investigation Of
Cost Of Gas, Electricity and Opera
ton Of Street Railways,

Representative Samuel W. Smith of
Michigan. chairman of the House COM
mittee on the District Of Columbia. adj
dressed the members of the Howard Park
Citizens Association at their regular
meeting last evening in the Lutheran
Church OF the Redeemer, ON sth street
above Florida avenue. DIR. d. E. WISE
man. pastor OF the church, presided and
introduced the speaker. Rev. DR.. Wilbur
p. Tihrkield was on the platform The
church was crowded and as Representa-
tive Smith was introduced. he was greet
ed with enthusiastic applause. Several
musical selections were given under the
direction of the committee on entertain
ment.
Representative Smith reviewed District
affairs in Congress and declared that he
was strongly in favor of the appointment
Of q committee Of experts to take up in q
ton of the cost Of gas. electricity and
running the street railroads in this city.
He said that the members of the commits
sion should be chosen from outside of the
District, so that they would be absolutely
impartial in their work. .9u
He said that the railroads in the Dis
trict of Columbia for many reasons were
subject 10 MUCH greater expense than
similar systems in other cities, and said
that this fact should be taken into con-
sideration in the investigation of the ac-
tual cost of the service.
Representative Smith favored a park in
Georgetown, and the project to turn into
a park the eleven acres that were ceded
by Howard University and on which the
Freedmen's Hospital now stands. This
tract is now owned by the government
and is open to the public but 1t is not
classed as a regular park OF the. District

OFFICERS RELIEVED OF DUTY
Rear Admirals Ingersoll and Cou-
den, Retired, Ordered Home.

Rear Admiral r. r. Ingersoll, retired.
has been relieved from duty in this city
as a member Of the general board and
Rear Admiral A. r. Couden. retired, has
been relieved from duty as general in
spector Of ordnance for the navy. Both
officers are ordered to proceed to their
homes. This action is in pursuance Of
the policy OF having only officers on the
active list in positions Of Importance and
responsibility.
The only exception to this policy is the
recent assignment Of Rear Admiral E. H
C. Leutze. retired, to charge of the navy
yard, New York. The special reason for
that detail was that Secretary Meyer
personally desired the services Of Admi-
raj Leutze at the New York yard in or
der to insure the success Of his plan for
reorganizing the system Of business adj
ministration at that particular yard.

Provision Objected To.

Members of the Humane Society object
to the following provisions of the bill un-
der consideration:
That 1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son to offer any medal, prize, gift or re-
ward for the encouragement OF activity on
the part Of members Of the police force
or others in the enforcement of the provi-
sions of this act
Every thinking person will at once see
the wisdom and propriety of these pro-
visions. AS the Commissioners appro-
priately said in their report to Congress
upon this bill: The Offering Of prizes as
an incentive for such activity on the
part Of those charged with that duty
(the duty Of making arrests for viola
lions Of the law tends to subordinate
the interests of justice to the desire Of
the officer to make a record for excep-
tfonal efficiency
THE assertions made by some of the
speakers at the New Willard meeting
last evening will amuse those familiar
with the operations OF the Humane So
ciety through its understrappers. II one
half Of the things said at this meeting
were true there would be occasion for
genuine congratulation among horse
owners.
AN examination will disclose that a
vast percentage Of the grand total of So
called convictions for cruelty to ami
mails at the Police Court, pointed to at
last nights meeting, are cases in which
the accused parties were not tried in
court, but forfeited collateral, as a re-
suit of the 'sand-bagging process refer

Statement Of OMcial.

'.At q recent hearing before the Dis
trict Commissioners another well known
official gave similar testimony with re-
gard to the procedure Of these Humane
Society agents as a result of personal OBJ
servation. He stated, as a result of his
observation and experience at the Police
Court, that the present cruelty to animals
law was vicious and wrong in principle
and had proven pernicious in practice.
Neither Of the officials mentioned is a
horse owner.
Tn their able. clarifying report to Con-
gress on the bill in question the District
Commissioners say:
The chief object of the bill is to give
the major and superintendent of police,
who Is already and properly charged with
the exercise OF police authority in other
matters. the supervision Of prosecutions
for cruelty TO animals in the District Of
Columbia. and TO make the fines and for
prosecutions a part Of the revenues of the
District Of Columbia, as In other cases.
Sections and 6 are designed to accom-
plish this change in the law.
The present law in its operation has
proven unsatisfactory to the citizens 1t
Is claimed that the agents Of the humane
society specially charged with the duty of
enforcing the law who are paid bE the
society for their services are. through a
desire to increase the revenues of the So
tons. too active in making arrests and In
carrying horse owners before the Police
Court.
LIT is believed that such a law is
wrong in principle and that the change
proposed should receive the approval OF
Congress. The present law also author
ICES the members of the police force to
make arrests for the offense of cruelty
to animals. but 1t is believed that IL the
undivided duty is imposed upon the police
of exclusive supervision OF these prosecu-
tons they will take more interest In the
matter than heretofore and will diligently
see to the enforcement Of the law
Say Police Are Discouraged.
ut IL claimed by the Humane Society
officials that members Of the police force
have not been sufficiently active in the
enforcement of the cruelty to animals
law. An investigation will disclose that
the police have been responsible for a
remarkably large number OF prosecutions,
considering the fact that they have been
operating under law which gives to the
supervision over this work The tendency
Of such a law is to discourage activity
on the part OF the police. 1t is apt to
engender in the mind of the average
policeman the idea that, since the law
specially charges the Humane Society
with the duty of seeing to the enforce
ment of its provisions. this is the Hu-
name society's business-let the agents
attend to it. The law as it now stands is
demoraliziBg to the police force.
Does anybody doubt that the police
would diligently and properly see to the
enforcement of the law IL the undivided
duty Of supervising prosecutions in these

stated in the local press that the effect
Of the enactment of the bill under con-
sideration into law would be to destroy
the Washington Humane Society. This
Is not true. Under the bill In question
the society could assist the police in the
enforcement OF the law, just as, under
the present law, the police assist the So
ciety. That the Humane Society now
looks upon the police AZ simply Its as
sistants in tho work Of enforcing the
cruelty to animals law is shown by the

nual report for the year 1907:
Under the laws OF the District the po-

children and animals
No Need Of Police.
"Under the bill. as Endorsed by the Dis
trict Commissioners. the Humane Society
could carry on its work without the aid
of the police. for the bill contains the
following self-explanatory provisions:
That the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia may commission duly
appointed agents Of the Washington HUI
name Society special police officers. with
out compensation from the District OF
Columbia. and such agents or omcers
shall have power to arrest without war
ence or sight any law relating to cruelty
to animals in said District.
with the interest on its investments
and the donations and dues received from
time to time the society could employ
persons to represent 1t. and could prose-
cute it's charitable work just as effect
ually under the proposed law as under
the present law. -.
''The money received from these prose
cutions is not sine qua non to the ex-
istence Of the Humane Society, as SOME
claim. That the life of this society is
not dependent upon the money received
from prosecutions Is shown conclusively
by the following colloquy between Mr..
Hutchins, the society's president, and
Commissioner Johnston, which occurred
