II RIGHT WAY.

II you are a republican would you like
to be able to say, at the polls, whom you
want as the republican candidate for the
presidency whether Taft, or Roosevelt or
Lat'ollette, insead of having the candl-
date named for you by the bosses? If
you are a democrat, would you like the
same opportunity to choose among Wi
SON, Harmon, Clark .r any n else?
Voters in Oregon will have that privilege;
1t is one of the features of Oregon's
popular form of government. Nebraska
has lately adopted the same law; all the
other states ought to. Especially would
the Southern states benefit by this pro-
vision; it would enable the self respect
ing voters of the south destroyed forever
those agencies which have been a a
dial ever since reconstruction days, and
which MI. Taft is nov using to accom-
plish his denomination, the republican
federal Observation-Disclosures Weekly.
The people of North Dakota will,
under our new law be able to declare at
the primaries their choice of candidates
for president and vice president and also
for national committees in the respec-
tive parties. We agree with Golfers
that it be a wonderful step in advanced
il all the states had such laws, as it
would largely destroy the old domination
of federal Office holders in the state and
national conventions and political affairs
in general.

Alfalfa is going to be the great hay
crop of North Dakota. Sow the seed
the last of May or early in June. Corn
or potato ground is best. Sow not over
8 lbs. per acre and without a nurse crop.
Sow with drill two inches deep, also put
on 200 pounds per acre of soil from an
alfalfa field to introduce germs-harrow
in. When weeds get bad or when al
falfa is eight inches high, run mower
over it. Leave good covering to hold
snow for winter protection. Disc light
ly the second spring and heavier each
succeeding year. Trya small piece at
first.

republicans passed in fourteen years,

Guides the passage of a bill providing for
the publicity of campaign contributions
before instead of after elections: the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people; reciprocity
with Canada and the farmers free list
bill, with other similar legislation to
follow promptly. Agitation for much of
this Legislation has been going on for
years. The republicans heard the de-
mand of the people for relief, but could
not enact such Legislation as has been
passed by the democratic house because
they had for years been receiving
enormous campaign contributions from
the tariff trusts and other interests
which are oppose to progressive legisla-
ton from the character passed by the
democrats.

The reflections upon Governor Burke
for vetoing the farmers institute appro-
priation are entirely wrong and gratuit-
ous. He had SO much to sign up for and
to do so honestly, and every mansknows
this. He might have vetoed the Minot
normal bill, but that was constitutional,
anyway. The censure by Prof. Shaw is
out of place, as he is not informed as is

The salary of the county superinten-
dents of the 81 ate is now based on the
valuation of the land in each county in
stead of on the number of schools as
heretofore. This leaves the salary just
the same IN most of the counties. 1t
raises the sa larry in every county where
there is a change, with the exception of
McHenry and Williams counties, it be-
Ing 5000 lower in Williams and us lower

dents now receive salary as on the same
basis as the register of deeds.

Close In the Senate.

Death is cutting down the Repub.
iican majority in the United States
senate. While Senator Elkins was
alive the membership in the new body
promised to be fifty-one Republicans
to forty-one Democrats. His removal
changed the figures to fifty to forty
two. The admission of the two new
states of Arizona and New Mexico will
cause another alteration. 1t has gen.
orally been predicted that New Mex.
leo would go Democratic and Arizona
Republican, which would make the fig.
ures fifty-two and forty-four. If both
states should happen to go Democrat
1c, however, a result by no means i'm.
possible, the Republicans would have
only fifty senators to the Democrats
forty-six.
Four or even eight majority is a
very narrow margin on which to con-
troll a legislative body. 1t is especially
so in the United States senate, where
at least twelve of the Republicans will
belong to the progressives. -Four or
five Of these insurgents voting with
the Democrats might change the con-
troll of the body. Among the progress
sives are such men as La Toilette,
Bristow, Clapp and Cummins, who
voted with the minority so often dur
Ing the last two sessions. To them will
be added PoindeXter. Gronna and the
new senators from Iowa and Califor-
MIA, who may be Of the same way of
thinking.
Should death make any further in
roads into the body an interesting sit.
uation reveals a still further possible
change. There are eight states-Colo-
RADIO, Kentucky, Maine, Montana. Ne.
braska, New Jersey, New York and
Oh1o-in which the Republicans will
have n senator each in the new SEN
ate, but in which the Democrats con.
troll the legislature. There are only
W. states-Nevada and Oregon-in
which the reverse is true. If death
should remove any one of these eight
senators a Democrat would take his
place. One Of these men, Frye of
Maine, is more than seventy-nine years
old. Two more, Bradley Of Kentucky
and Root Of New York, are past sixty.
To add to the uncertainties of the
situation there are two or more Re.
publican legislatures that have devel-
oped an insurgent element which may
become the balance of power. All of
this makes it sure that the next senate
will be uncomfortably close.

BiIltOwn.

The name of Billtown has become
immortal. 1t belongs and a%ppertains
to that school district in Adams coun-
ty. O., in which all the men have
been DISTINGUISHED and in which, as a
consequence. only the women can vote
and hold office. The men sold their
votes and, therefore. no longer have
any votes to sell. They all confessed,
which possibly saved them from Jail
sentences but did not save them from
fines and Acknowledgement. Now the
literal better halves of these men have
to do the voting and hold the Offices of
the district. a thing which the Ohio
laws fortunately permit. If women
were not empowered to vote in school
elections Billtown would be indeed be-
reft.
Fortunately. the wives are taking
hold Of matters with zeal and energy.
Feminine candidates for school trus-
tee are already announced and the
campaign is on. Perhaps by the time
the mems five year Acknowledgement
sentences expire the women will so
have their hands in that they will re-
fuse to relipquish the reins. They
may. indeed. govern so wisely that
Billtown will not want them to relin-
quish the reins.
Woman suffrage has been tried in q
number Of states and in school cleo
tons ia most of the states, but always
in conjunction with male suffrage.
This is the first case on record where
the women had to go it alone. In this
aspect Billtown should become the one
bright particular spot in the suffra-
gette geography.

The supreme court has settled all dis
pute regarding the approvals of Cover
nor Burke after the adjournment of the
legislature, handing down n decision in
a suit brought by an abstract company
which involved the question of whether
or not Sundays are included in the tif-
teen days given the governor to dispose
OF legislative enactments. The court
holds that Sundays are included in the
time limit and this makes law of house
bill No. 40, which the governor vetoed.
Isn't this notice to the governor to work
Sundays hereafter?

The supreme court of the United
States handed down two very important
decisions Monday. The first was in the
famous labor contempt case, and the
court decided that Gomphers, Mitchell
and Morrison didn't have to go to jail.
The decision was against the Standard
Oil trust, declaring it to be a conspiracy
and combination in restraint of trade.
The dissolution of the corporation was
ordered to take place in six months.

Upon close investigation the "farm-
ers' free list bill becomes a mighty
interesting measure. 1t INTAKES many
articles the farmers use, but 1t means
about as much to all other consumers.
1t puts 100 articles of common use on
the free list and it is estimated that it
will save the public some 100000 900.
The measure won't hit the
ha I'd, either, the tariff being nearly
prohibitive on the 100 articles concerned.
