PECULIAR SITUATION.

Some people are too much governed
but Fargo township appears to have
too little officialdom. At the last cleo
tion in the township, the west side cap
tured all the officials. Recently it in
corporated and left the east side as
the remaining portion Of the township
but with no officers.
There is said to be no provision in
the laws of the state exactly meeting
this peculiar situation. The solution
suggested is that the retiring township
oflcers at once call a special election
and tender their designations. This will
give the township voters an opportuni-
ty to get some home rule.
Jimmie Hickey must be enjoying the
fun. He is the political dictator of
the west and he must chuckle to him
self over the way he captured all off,
cers-then left the eastsiders marooned

THE SENATORIAL FILINGS.

That there are two sides to most
questions is once more demonstrated
in the senatorial filings. The state
wide primary law-defective in SO
many features-is silent on the
question Of senatorial vacancies. A
liberal construction of the law will lead
even the laymen into the belief that If
the primary law applies to the full sem
atorial term it can be made to At the
exigencies of the situation that now
confronts the people of North Dako-
Ia
With two senators to be elected by
the next legislature, one for full six
years. and the other for four to sue
coed the late Senator Johnson-the su-
preme court at Bismarck will today be
asked to define the primary law and
determine whether candidates must
designate in their filings whether they
are running for the long or the short
term.
filings Of both kinds. He will no doubt
call on Attorney General Miller for an
opinion. No matter what conclusions
are reached the advocates Of the other
plan will take it into the supreme
court for adjustment. The suit is en-
tirely friendly and it matters little
which side a candidate tl,-es in order
to get the matter determined.
Whether the race shall be a free
for all with the high candidate getting
the long term nomination and the Sec
ond highest the short term-or whether
the candidates must file for one or
the other positions, definitely, will soon
be officially known.
The primary law has not had easy
sailing on the senatorial question. Two
years ago the legislative pledge fea-
ture was attacked and voters had no
right to demand the pledge of the
members of the legislature.
There is little left in the senatorial
phases of the law at present. 1t gives
the people an opportunity to advise the
members of the legislature. to make an
expression-but the vote is not neces-
sarily mandatory. Few legislators
would be likely to disregard the vote,
especially should it be at all one-sided
but there is nothing obligatory about
the recommendation.

Gus customs that have prevailed in the
past.
For years America has been paying
a very big toll for the sake os COM
memorating this one great day in her
history. This toll has been extracted
from the firesides in the children maim-
ed or the httle lives snuffed out. And
the price is too high.
There are those who will argue that
there has always been a noisy cele-
bration of Independence day--but they
fail to remember that even If they
were noisy there was not so much
danger in them as there has been in
recent years. This is n progressive
age and manufacturers OF Fourth OF
July paraphernalia and noise-produc-
ing apparatus have kept pace with the
march. This has resulted in the in
PRODUCTION Of many novelties that are
really dangerous-and which have ac-
tually destroyed the life and limbs of
children.
From one end of the country to the
other there are homes where the sound
Of childish voices has been silenced
forever-because Of the patriotism that
thoughtlessly allowed the little ones to
have dangerous things. Ordinarily no
one would trust small boy with a gun
or pistol, yet on independence day he
is given something quite as dangerous
and If he comes out without injury
he is extremely lucky.
Add to the list of those killed each
Fourth of July the large numbers of
children and young people who are
manned, many of them incapacitated
for Hfe-and the toll demanded as the
price Of observing the national birth
day with a confusion Of noises is too
large.

FOR A SANE FOURTH.

There is hope that Fargo and the
rest OF the state may enjoy a sane
Fourth of July celebration this year.
There is more agitation in its favor
and greater desire on the part of
the public that the officials make some
effort to regulate the celebration"
There is an almost nation wide SEN
timent against the continuance Of the
old methods. There is a disposition to
find some way in which the youngsters
may observe the day without such emf
nent risk OF being killed or MANNED
and at the same time not dwarf any
patriotic impulses that may have been
inspired in the hearts OF the youth of
the land.
This movement cannot but meet with
the approval Of all parents. There is
no honor in the death OF boy from
q foolish and dangerous explosion
and Just as little satisfaction to have
q manned son because his enthusiasm
was not properly directed
Mayor Lowell and many Of the mem
bers Of the city council are parents Of
boys. All OF them would like to es-
cape death or injury in their own fam
lilies and in that OF their friends and
acuuaintances They have it in their
power to prevent some OF the danger

HEARD IN THE DUSK.

Oh John Paul Jones,
They've forgotten yoIr bones,
And nobody seems to care.
I know your proud heart
Swells under the Dart
Just biting your lip? Well, there.
Oh you wish you had lain
Beneath the "thruch" stane
In the old churchyard Of Kirkbean,
Where your father and mother
And mine on the other
Side of the church are seen.
Nay, Admiral Jones,
IT'S only your bones!
Your spirit is grandly living
In every school
Where patriots rule,
And boys their thoughts are giving.
To the men who made
Our country's grade
In the glorious annals Of time,
You did your share
Your flag is still there;
Twill float forever--in rhyme.
Well see your bones
Poor tired bones!
Are laid to rest at last
The nations heart
Seeks the noble part,
But in politics few stand fast.
Men come and go
In politics, so
No wonder some forget
The fine details.
They'll hear our walls,
And all will be well done yet.

The enumerator who has been un-

Scotland anG Horse Racinc.

Scotland has been famous fer it's horses from the most ancient days. When A@ricola defeated the Caledo- n1ans at the battle of the Grampians. A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve It's native breed of horses. and in this connection it is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l.. did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse racing as it has since been known in England He 1t was who first established regu- lar courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tons that led up to the modern laws of the turf Nobody denies that horse racing has done much for the breed of British horses. It was gift from Scotland.-London Answers.

There are various accounts of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that 1t was set up as compliment to the mother of Thomas Beckett. who was the daughter of a Saracen. ln Selden's "Eable Talk" we read. "Whelt our countrymen came home from lighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge. big, terrible faces, as you still see the sig1 of the Saracen's Head is."-London Chronicle.
