THE FORUMS POSITION.

The state school funds are the
proudest heritage of the children of
North Dakota,
They are derived from three chief
sources - certain fines the direct
school tax-and from the interest on
moneys raised from the state school
lands.
North Dakota was extremely fortu-
nate that the general government set
aside two sections of land in every
township--to be leased and sold for
the exclusive benefit of educational
work for the children of the state.
The interest on the moneys derived
from the leases and the sales of school
lands for the last quarter were over
"a for every child of school age in
North Dakota. AS the land values in
crease the amount will grow for each
quarterly apportionment.
1T practically insures a common
school education for every boy and
girl in North Dakota.
The sum now invested by the state
Is something like $2O,eOO,OOO. The
grand total will grow annually.
From this it is easily seen how i'm
portant it is that the interests of the
school children of North Dakota are
properly safeguarded.
It Is imperative that the leases and
sales of school lands shall be honestly
conducted.
1t is also necessary that the moneys
from these leases and sales be honest
iy invested. -..
Il is all the more important that the
men at the head of the educational
work-the superintendent of public in
struction-should be a man of the
highest attachments practical, ant
above all the soul of honor-a mar
against whom there can be no sus.
picion, whose financial dealings can
not be questioned.

Look Up CHARGES.

Minot. N. D., May 23.-District
Game Warden stenvick made
business trip TO Towner. where he was
called in his official capacity to inves-
tigate alleged violations Of the game
laws. Mr.. Stenvick returned to the city
without making any arrests.
The information which reached him
was to the effect that a number OF
Greeks living in the vicinity Of Towner
have been shooting prairie chickens and
wild ducks While Mr. Stenvick is
practically convinced that the story
which reached his Office was true he
could not find any grounds to proceed.
The locality where the alleged viola
tons are said to have occurred will be
watched.

UNSAFE DRIVERS.

Il
A very large. percentage of the au-
tomobile accidents are occasioned be-
cause the machines are in the hands
of Inexperienced drivers. The deal
er is anxious to show the simplicity
of his machine and how, after one or
two lessons, any person can drive it.
Further, after a sale is made, his in
terest naturally attaches to the next
sale rather than to the last one. 1t
is rather a feather in his cap if he
can tell that So-and-so was able to
drive his machine the very day he
bought it.
In this wise the highways are being
filled with powerful machines run
ming at high speed, in charge of driv-
ers who lack both experience and
Judgment. Before a man is placed
in charge of a railway locomotive
he must so through years of training
and pass a rigid examination. Be-
fore a man is allowed to pilot a boat
VI 6CLi DIS 0ISluS0I ll0 uluSC secure
"a license from the state. Before a
man is allowed to run steam thresh-
er engine he must secure a license,
but men, women and children are al
lowed to operate automobiles with but
the puny restraint of local speed linn
its" which are but rarely enforced.
That the majority of these ma
chimes are private property and for
the use of the owner, makes no diff
ference. If a man is Indifferent to
his own safety and that of his family,
the law should protect him from him
self. Further than this there is the
question Of the lives and property Of
other users of the highways.
While we know several boys who
are expert drivers, we think there
should be an age limit and that some
reasonable requirements should be
made as to efficiency and experience
before men are turned loose on the
highway with powerful swift-moving
engines SO dangerous to life and limb.

MADE A GOOD Eight.

The jackson committee will / now
doubtless come in for its share of the
usual derision and opprobrium which
attaches to an unsuccessful cam
paign.
When it is considered that last win
ter no one would have predicted any
thing but that Iowa would go over
whelmingly insurgent and that the pri-
mary was held during the very dark
est days of congressional inactivity,
when 1t seemed that none of the adj
ministrative measures would be
passed, the showing made by the stall
ing the Iowa Taft club deserves moth
ing but the highest praise from the
friends of the administration. 1t was
fight against great odds and had
the primary been held AFTER the
close of congress instead of before
that time, the result would have been
great republican victory.
AS a republican newspaper, The Re-
view is prepared to stand by every
nominee on the state ticket and to
subscribe to every portion of the state
platform which shall not violate its
conscience. 1t appears now that the
August convention win be controlled
by the insurgents and very much de-
ponds upon the wisdom and the mod
Grafton with which that control is ex-
ercised. 1t must at least be recog-
nized that the stalwart element is q
very considerable factor in the repub-
lican party, factor which can not
be spurned or insulted if there is to
be any hope of republican success
either this fall or at any future time.
The resolutions passed by Crawford
county and by other standpat counties
throughout the state show plainly that
they had no intention of reading any
one out of the party or creating any
situation which should have made it
impossible for the insurgents to have
supported the party without loss of
sef-respect. If the insurgents shall
show the same discretion and wisdom
all may yet be well with the party and
we may yet be able to show solid
J front to democracy.

THE PRIMARY Law.

1t is now found that the new pri-
mary law places all the expense upon
the counties. We do not know that
lit makes much difference whether the
state or the county foots the bill, for
1t must come out of the people In the
end at any rate. The great evil is
that this large expense is made at all.
Under the old system there was no
expense to tax payers and the results
were even more satisfactory and rep
resentative of the will of the people
than they are now.
If we must have primary law the
vote should be restricted to the vote
for delegates and county officers.
The people of a county are just as
competent to select candidates for
the county at q primary as at an
election. They are also perfectly
competent to select their delegates to
represent them at state or other con-
ventions, but such conventions of rep
41OoOAIdCAVO AOu, CuOS0u ny Tie Q0O-
pie for that work are much more com
petent to select a state ticket. I'm
der the present law there can be no
compromises, no uniting upon second
choices to harmonic the elements of
the party, no chance for an equable
geographical or factional arrangement
of the ticket. If the primary was a
real benefit the expense should not
stand in the way, but as it has proven
to be of no real benefit to the people
and to be simply an agent for party
decentralization, it should be repealed
or radically amended in the line of
a short ballot, combining the direct
vote with the idea of representative
government. Every candidate for a
legislative Office should be asked to
express him self as to the repeal or
revision of this useless and expensive
law.

OUR DEEP DISGRACE.

| u ID y 1 M
While every reading man took an
interest in the Reno prize fight, 1t will
now be generally confessed that it
was utterly demoralizing to the entire
country. There have never been SO
many fist-fghts and brawls as there
were during the pendency Of the fight.
The pitting Of the white and black
races against each other has already
caused score Of outbreaks of race
hatred and many more will follow.
Many an innocent man will lose his
life on account of the Reno prize
fight and bitterness will be created
which will not down in many years.
The whites of the city slums and of
the south bitterly resent any claim of
superiority on the part of the blacks
even in the matter Of prize fighting
and the press of the next month will
be filled with accounts Of race wars.
For our own part, IL there is any de,
partment of human activity In which
we would be willing to yield the palm
to another race, 1t is in the matter Of
prize fighting. In this affair the white
spOrtsmen placed themselves on q
level with their antagonists and If
there is anything in the much-mooted
Anglo-Saxon love of fair play it should
be exercised now. We are glad that
Johnson won, because he received the
treatment of the under dog all through
the preliminaries, and because, if there
must be champion prize fighter, we
are perfectly willing that he should
not be white. Most any other color
would do. 1t is reported at this writ
ting that that johnson has been shot
and that Jeffries is in q dying condi-

permanent chairman, Mr.. Saunders, a.
stalwart, was selected, but the perma-
nent secretary was Mr.. Bale, a pro-
gressive. Mr. Gebert, progressive,
was selected as senatorial committee
man; w. p. Kahler, stalwart, as jul

judicial delegation, headed by Mr..

drawn.
We repeat this much of the history
of the convention to show that there
was no lack of kindness and consid-
Grafton shown the minority and in
fact that they carried off the majority
of the convention honors, not only
without the opposition, but with the
assistance of the stalwarts.
For our part, we are glad that this
was the case. We are glad that both
sides stood up to be counted and that,
the count having been made, and the
issue fairly decided, there was no ILL
temper. no ill-feeling and no desire
manifested that anyone should be pun
ished for the stand they had taken.
1t was a square, manly contest in
which the losers accepted the situa-
ton with good grace and the winners
acted with entire magnanimity. With
the atmosphere thus cleared there is
no good reason why the republicans of
Crawford county should not act. to-
gether this fall with entire harmony
and good feeling and no reason why
earnest support should not be given
the entire ticket.
Had the progressives been in con
troll the delegation would have been
solidly progressive and no one would
have had right to complain. as the
stalwarts were in control, the delega-
ton is solidly stalwart and again,
no one has the right to complain.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The recent republican convention
should have left no sore spots on any
one, and we trust that it has not.
There was but one test vote taken in
the convention. Mr.. Lyon, spokes-
man for the progressives, moved that
committees of three on resolutions
and on permanent organization be APP
pointed by the chair. AS the chair
man, Mr.. Spottswood, was also pro-
gressive the issue was squarely
raised. Judge Conner moved to amend
by having the committees selected in
the regular way, one member from
each precinct. This amendment car
ried by vote of 118 to 26. This may
not have been an exact test of
strength, but it is safe to say that the
convention was four to one in favor
OF regular republicanism. After this
the progressiyes wisely offered no fur

without hesitancy the acts of the pres

congress. On all other points the stall
warts yielded as gracefully as the
progressiyes had done and those who
desired to see disunion and disrup

have been greatly disappointed. The

jurors went out to deliberate. They
deliberated hour after hour and it
was currently reported that they
stood eleven to one for conviction
Finally it, became battle of endur-
ance. The eleven are said to have
delegated one after another of their

him of error, but to keep him awake

thus made submissive.

II the twelfth juror is dishonest

men to remain as practical prisoners

The fault is not with the stubborn
twelfth juror, but with the system.
If the evidence is sufficient to CON

morally certain that the man is guilty.
