There is talk of having a board of con
troll, something like they have in Mime.
sofa, to manage the state educational
institutions. AS it stands the state is
out great sum of money by the present
system of one board for each school and
the army of trustees or board members;
it is out money by the ambitious, at
tempts of one school to equal or surpass
another; it is out money by having the
institutions duplicate each others
courses, so that the same thing is offered
in the university the agricultural
colleges, the normaIs and the other
schools, when each should have it's own
definite added to its limit of courses. 1t
would be a mighty good thing if this
tangle were Strengthened out. There
would be less log-rolling in the legisla-
ture and less pounding the members on
the back for more money, more money,
to keep up with or to beat the other in
stitution; less jealousy between the in
situations and better work done IN each
on it's W line. There is one place
where we newspapers might get 1T in the
neck-on the advertising. There would
be less advertising, for each school hav-
ing a certain field to itself would await
calmly the coming of those students
who desired that instruction. Al
together it would seem that a board Of
control might help some.-Lidgerwood
Broadaxe.

Two years ago Editor Andrews of the
Lidgerwood Broadaxe severely criticized
a erpublican-controlled legislature for
its failure to carry out its campaign
pledges among the promises that we're
broken he mentioned the guarantee of
bank deposits, Strengthening of the
primary law. the physical valuation of
railroad and a stringent anti-pass law.
In the legislature that is about to con-
vene, the republicans are again IN con-
troll. They have the same promises in
their platform that we're broken two
years ago, excepting the bank guaranty
law, and there are many new pledges
which are even more important than
those mentioned, such as planks favor
ing a tax commission and a board Of
control, direct election of senators ,%initia-
tive, referendum and recall, more power
to the railroad commission, etc. The
democrats in their platform also favor
many of these measures. Let US i'm
press on the minds of our senators and
representatives that We expect these
pledges to be redeemed.-Cando Demo
crat.

The democratic national platform of
1908, declared that 'The conscience of
the nation is now aroused and will
free the government from the grip of
those who have made it a business asset
Of the forever-seeking corporations. 1t
must become again a peoples govern
ment, and be administered in all depart
ments according to the Je%ffersonian
maxim, Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none Shall the people
rule? is the overwhelming issue which
manifests itself in all the questions now
under discussion" If the democrats
elected to the general assembly of Ohio
or to the congress of the United States
fail to square their actions and their
votes by the measure prescribed by the
declaration above quoted from the
national law of the party, the victory
will ne turned into a rout two years
hence. The victory of 1910 is the result
of the war started under the Leadership
of William j.. Bryan in 1896. 1t has been
delayed by party traitors like the Balti-
more Sun and these traitors are now
actively engaged in an endeavor to rob
the party of fruits Of the first victory in
all these years. These alleged demo-
Gratis are always reading Mr.. Bryan out
of the party, not forgetting but ignor-
ing the fact. that had it not been for his
splendid leadership and persistent war
on privilege aad favor Of the principle of
Equal and exact Justice to all and
special privileges to nome" the victory
OF 1910 would not have psrehed ON demo.

THIRTY PER CENT DECISION

The supreme court of the state in a
decision handed down late Saturday de-
clares that the 30 per cent clause of the
primary law is unconstitutional.
Following is the syllabus of the case:
The State of North Dakota, ex rel
IL. b. Dorval, plaintiff and appellant, VS.
J. K. Hamilton as auditor of Cavalier
county, North Dakota, defendant.
l. The primary election law of this
state, in common with all general laws
regulating the elective franchise, is IN
all its parts within the constitutional
requirements that it must be just and
reasonable, must have a uniform opera
tion throughout the state and must bear
with substantial equality upon parties,
candidates and all classes of citizens.
2. In case it is apparent that from
the nature of a general law and the ends
its purports to effect that it's aims can
be attained only through the medium
OF groups or aggregations of persons, a
certain Classification of objects to be
effected differently by the operation of
the law may be made. Such classified
ton, if made, however, must rest upon
some difference which bears a true and
just relation to the act In reference to
which the classification is proposed, and
must be reasonable and natural, not
artificial or arbitrary.
3. A standard prescribed by a general
law for the determination of a basis of
classification that is from its nature and
character unstable, illogical, inconstant
and arbitrary, cannot serve as a means
for the computation of groups that must
bear to it and to each other the natural,
constant and u%nvarying relation re-
quired by the constitution; and a law
that operates adversely upon classes so
determined cannot have a just, reason
able and uniform operation.
4. Under the provisions of the gen.
eral primary election law, the classified
ton provided by the requirements of
Sec. II, Chap. 100 Laws of 1907, to the
SAoS Uuoo Ao AOA1AotlOA Sudll 10 Wdu6
unless the vote cast for state, district or
county Offices is at least 80 per cent of
the total number of votes cast for the
candidate for secretary of state of each
political party at the last general cleo
ton, is arbitrary, unnatural and lacks
uniformity in the different counties of
the state by reason of the fact that the
standard provided for determining the
basis Of classification places the party
group authorized to make a nomination
in each county in a relation to the
actual party strength and to each other
that is unstable, inconstant, and with
out uniformity in the different counties
Of the state. Such provision Of the law
is therefore unconstitutional and void.

The state supreme court has decided
a point that is of interest to attorneys
and jurors. A juror who had expressed
an opinion on a case arising in Cass
county, which he said, would require
some evidence to change such opinion,
was held to be qualified to serve. The
supreme court held that when an opin-
ion is based wholly upon newspaper
accounts and street gossip of the case
the juror is not disqualified.

ssStunts'' In Aeroplaning.

The Wrights are right. Wilbur
Wright says he is sick Of seeing so
many fancy and sensational 'sstunts"
performed by aviators. Orville Wright,
his brother, coinventor of the aero
plane as it stands-or, rather, as it
flies, for aeroplanes antedating those
Of the Wrights could stand, but they
couldn't fy-backs him up in this atti-
tude. If the aeroplane is to be devel-
oped until it becomes a thing of use,
until 1t can carry passengers safely,
until it can carry the mail and express
matter, until it can drop deadly bombs
into the midst of IN army camp and
thus abolish that infamous institution,
war-if the aerial machine is to amount
to anything useful to the human race
the aviators must get together and i'm
prove the aeroplane.
The public, it is argued, demands
stunts at aviation meets. The public
likes to see men go up in the air and
cut pigeon wings and figure Fights and
other fancy antics a la plane. But
does the public enjoy seeing a man fall
from a height of 300 feet, as did john
stone at Denver, to be dashed to
death? Does it take delight in watch.
ing the capsizing of a plane and its
consequent sudden descent, with the
aviator's bones broken along with the
ribs of his machine?
A certain great philosopher urged
.plain living and high thinking" To
p~araphrase, let us urge plain flying in
stead Of high flying. It cannot benefit
mankind to have a man go up 10000
feet. He can do nothing useful up
there. But it will benefit mankind to
have a mar fly a few hundred feet
above ground and few hundred miles
from his starting point, getting there
safely and doing his errand. Let the
~aviators cease stunt performing and
begin carrying messages to Garcia"

One of the significant features of the
late election was the vote in Illinois on
the initiative referendum. A little
ballot intended merely as an advisory
vote was submitted. containing an
opportunity to express the views of the
voters upon a number of items. The
total vote of the state was about 100000
and of these 443,5O5 voted for the initia-
tive and referendum, and l27,75l against
them. The majority is overwhelming.

Two Newspapers in Trouble.

The Postal Regulations require us to keep
our subscriptions paid in advance and in case
we allow them to get more than one year in
arrears we are liable to be barred from the
United States Mails as Second-Class Matter.
This regulation is being rigidly enforced and
several papers have lost their mailing privi-
lege on account of infringing it's regulations.
Within the last three weeks two North
Dakota weekly papers, the Paramount News
and the Rock Lake Ripples, have been barred
from the mails as Second-Class Matter on this
account. AS this paper cannot afford to lose
it's mailing privilege it will be necessary for us
to discontinue all papers sent to those whose
subscription is One Year or more in arrears.
There are a few of the Courier-Democrat's
readers who are now one year or more de-
linquent in their subscription. But even one
or two of these delinquents would be enough to
put us to the bad with the Postal Department
so that any of our readers who do not receive
their Democrat next week will know the reason
why it has been stopped
We dislike to stop any subscriptions as we
know you all want to keep on reading the
Democrat and we want you to keep on taking
it, but we would be Town and out if our paper
was barred as S~econd-Class mail matter and
what is more we cannot afford it. We trust
that our Delinquent Subscribers will stcome
across and by so doing not miss a single is
sue of the paper.

Shop EARLY This Year.

Many persons began their Christmas
shopping some days ago. but many
others are putting it off until just be-
fore Christmas. 1t is in order to Of
fer a gentle hint to those who thus ad-
here to the old time custom of post
poning the buying of holiday goods IN
til the eleventh hour and then COM
peting in the fierce, frantic, foolish
cush that means toes stepped on, hats
crushed or pushed awry, good tenn
pers turned into bad, weary shoppers,
twice weary shopgirls and clerks and
in the end disappointment both for
the purchaser and the intended recipi-
ent Of the presents.
This is no fanciful picture. 1t may
be seen every Christmas eve and for
a few days in advance in thousands
Of stores throughout the land. Those
who seek to buy when the stock is
run down through the purchasing of
the early birds that get the choice bar
gain worms-those persons have only
themselves to blame if they fail to get
what they want and have to take any
old thing, not '.iust as good" but a
mere makeshift.
People are beginning to see the error
Of late holiday shopping and are lay
ing in their Christmas goods and gifts
much earlier than has been the prac-
tice heretofore. Moreover, the mer-
chants in some places are cooperating
with the movement for early shopping
by closing their stores at 6 p. m. dur
ing the ante-holiday season instead of
keeping open till II o'clock or mid
night, as heretofore. Nearly all the
big storekeepers in Philadelphia, for
instance. announced this year that they
would close at 6 o'clock right up to
Christmas eve.
Shop ~early-early in the season and
early in the day. Thereby you will
please yourself, your friends and the
clerks who wait upon you.

The visitors told the f%reeholders their
views OF the matter and pointed out
the absolute necessity of immediate

The resolution of a temporary loan
bond issue of 81. 900 was suggested by
Freebooter Gottlieb, OF Essex. Hud-
SON County Counsel Griffin declared
this could not be accomplished and
SOM other way out of the difficulty
Would ave to be found. An argument
as to whether the courts would sus-
tain the temporary bono issue followed.
It was finally decided that the courts
would not object and the bond issue was
authorized. Freebooter Malta, of Es-
sex. then offered a motion that the
county engineers orange for imme-
date repairs and it was carried. This
shippers will be asked to divert heavy
traffic from the road for a time.
The repair work will be started at
once and the keeping open of the road
during the winter months is assured.

W|FE'S PLEA AIDS
MAN WHO SHOT HER
Patrick Mckinney Has Charge
Reduced to Assault and
Battery.

Patrick McKenney. OF 126 North
Third street, who on July 3 last shot
his wife Catherine in the breast, in
hicting a wound that kept her in the
hospital for six weeks, today pleaded
guilty to assault and battery.
The Indictment against McKenney
charged him with assault and battery
with intent to kill, but after a con-
sultation between McKenney, his
counsel. Frank M. McDermit, and First
Assistant Prosecutor Fred r. Lehl-
bach, it was decided to accept the plea
TO assault and battery.
The wife was a big factor in this
plea being taken. as she had explained
to the prosecutors office that Nc
Kenney had always been a good hus-
band and that it was her belief that
he was crazed with drink when he fired
two shots at her early on the morn
ing of July 3 last. The first shot
missed, but the second took effect. Nc
Kenney made no effort to escape after
shooting his wife. He was remanded
to jail for sentence on Friday.
