Immediately demand the withdrawal
of the so-called imperial troops
from their strategical position, in
order to avoid possibility of con-
fiict with the loops of the re-
publican government. AS soon as
this has been effected the armis-
tice now existing will be extended

ordered to lay down their army or
to enter the service of the repub

ASSESSORS Will MAKE LIST
New Scheme to Keep Voters In Own
Party Lines.

w NSSS ~
Party Lines.
There are breakers ahead for the
North Dakota assessors in 1912 when
the first effect of the law requiring the
listing of voters according to party af-
filiation will be seen. This law, which
does not become operative till March,
when the local assessors begin their
work, promises to give the listers Of
property and people all kinds Of trou-
BILE, as it is too much to suppose that
all voters will submit tamely to a
demand for a prediction declaration,
especially wnen it must be made
about three months before the regular
primary election.
The law was devised to remedy a
situation that exists by reason of the
fact that the 30 per cent feature of the
present primary election law was de-
clared null and void. The purpose Of
that provision vas to keep the party
voters insYue the bulwarks Of their
own party, preventing them from en-.
tering the camp of the opposition and
assisting in the nomination of candi-
dates, only to go afterwards into the
general election and vote against such
candidates.
Several plans were proposed to rem.
edy this condition and the assessor
list was finally devised and adopted.
1t places in the hands of the assessor
the duty of making a personal cans
vass of each and every male voter to
determine his politics. The lists
to be turned over to the election Of
ticials to be used at the general pri-
mary election.
This system will be matched with
interest by several states which have
the same problem to meet. No per:
centage feature is required in the.
North Dakota primary law, the ST.
preme court having decided that such
provision is unconstitutional. Last
winter an attempt raj made to inject
q 20 per cent feature into the law to
take the place of the 80 per cent pre-
viously required, but 1t vas unsuccess'

-
Whether the ocean traveller is rich
or poor. he can no more realize the
contrast between his experience and
that Of the first men who crossed the
Atlantic than the tourist gliding over
a storm swept moor in a closed motor
car can feel the misery Of a tramp
staggering over it in open rags. The
Atlantic is as cruel as ever-a treach-
erous, gloomy and violent sea-but so
completely is it baf1ed and shut out,
so smoothly ridden over. that the old
traveller, hardly conscious Of its being,
is half inclined to think its character
reformed. What higher praise can be
given and what less praise is due to
our modern shipbuilders? - London

Ignite TESTS SUCCESSFUL
Government Solves. Problem of Max.
ing Marketable Hriquets.

In briquets of Ignite coal the gov
eminent bureau of mines at Washing
ton believes it has developed a fuel
supply that will be of immense value
to the West, where high grade Goa!
can be obtained only at excessive cost.
A powerful machine brought from
Germany has solved the difficulty
which heretofore has limited the man
ufacture of briquets-the cost of the
pitch necessary to hold the coal dust
together.
Ignite is a poor form of brown
colored coal found in great abundance
in North and South Dakota, Montana,
Texas and other Western states. Its
tendency to slack soon after being
mined makes it troublesome to trans.
port and it does not burn readily on
account of the presence of between 80
and 40 per cent Of moisture. The bu.
eau of mines conducted experiments
at Williston, N. D., and developed a
furnace that would burn Ignite salts
factorily. Now that the experiments
have gone far enough to indicate that
briquets a be made successfully at
low cost, the bar to transportation of
