MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The Fargo Searchlight took it as
matter of course that the members o
the legislature would abide the resul
OF the republican primaries in the sen
atorial choice, and yet openly advocat
ed the reputation Of the republican
choice of candidate for governor
The Walsh County Record can't Sc
much consistency in this attitude
which has been taken by number o
newspapers i'll the state. Editor Hage
says:
During the campaign the Search
light advocated the defeat Of c. A.
Johnson, who received about 1000
votes more than James Buchanan,
the insurgent candidate. Now he
advocates the election of P. J. Nc
Cumber, whose majority over Tom
Marshall was less than 800 We
confess we cannot reconcile the
action of the Searchlight in this
matter. We believe firmly that
when party men participate in
primary they should be bound by
the result, and should in good faith
support the nominee of the whole
party, but we can't understand why
the people should be advised by
the Searchlight to vote against c.
A. Johnson because that paper
claimed he was the candidate of
Alexander Mckenzie, any more
than the members of the legislature
should be advised by the Search
light to vote against Porter J. Nc
Cumber for like reasons. OF course
we know that consistency is not
generally expected from politicians,
but we have known our friend
Boice so long and so intimately,
and like him so well. that we are
at a loss to understand how he got
his wires crossed in this matter.

His failings are exclusively his. He
owns them but seldom owns up to
them. Some are due to his immatur-
ity and will disappear with the pass
ing of humps and measles and warts
and freckles and gosling feathers
unless they are detained by some fool
ish older person who insists that pass
ing phases of his development are
permanent forms of devilment and
succeed in turning the changing hues
into fast colors, all red. That boy
showed his quality who defined q
hypocrite as "a boy wot comes to
school wild smile on his face" When
the nervous Sunday school teacher
said to the mischievous lad, "Tommie,
I'm afraid l won't zee you in heaven,
1t was due entirely to his sense Of
humor, that had not yet gained its so
cial perspective and propriety. that he
asked. without hesitation, why, what
have you been doing?s
Some are due to his being an imma-
ture human. some due to his being
an immature man and, In the latter
case, will not slough off at all We
will have to classify them as AMONG
his unavoidable limitations not TO be
outlawed, but to be harnessed up and
put to work, drawing his personality

We are not to look on them as hope
less liabilities but as productive en-
dowments. And yet they will always
be idiosyncrasies, IL not faults
Some of his faults are imaginary

look upon these ebullitions of his boy
ish nature as streams of vice and as
best things in him may come out just
that way That effervescence is de-
signed to be a relief to him and a
recreation TO the family. The only
alternative of effervescence is fer
mentation. Imagine him bad and you
are sure to tell him so. And there is
very accommodating suggestibility
in boy. He is usually slow to accept
the rating he is given, when he is
we'll berated, yet he often uncon-
sciously lives down to the reputation
he is given In his home.
But many of his failings are real,
whether due to inheritance or bad
general environment or bad treat
ment. In almost every case it is not
his fault at first. DR.. Merrill is almost
exactly right in saying that the boy
is all right and that the problem of
the bad boy is the problem of those
who have him in charge The par
ents ought to confess the handicap
they put on him in giving him their
dispositions and then get to work to

as to fall far behind in the progress

sirous of adopting modern systems,
but he can accomplish little unless he
can bring his advisers to his way of

which the young shah Of Persia has
found himself. Realizing that the
financial system of his country ia
archaic and that there can be no real
progress for Persia until the coun-

on a firm and modern foundation,
some months ago he invited W. Nor
