few weeks. The third party IS a
Roosevelt party. The republican par.
ty is and always has been greater
than any man, and the same thing
may be ALSO said of the democratic
party. Reforms will come but only
through purifying the old parties, and
that has been going on very success
fully for several years until today
progressiveism has secured such firm
hold upon the republican party as to
insure its supremacy therein. In our
own state every congressional nom
inee and large majority of the nom
inees on the state ticket are enthus-
iastic progressives, and those Of the
nominees who have not seen fit to
line solidly with the progressive wing
of the party are, nevertheless, good
fellows and always found on the right
side of every question pertaining to
the rights and interests Of the people.
These men were placed in nomination
by the people of North Dakota under
one Of the best primary laws in ex-
istence and should have the loyal sup.
port of every progressive in the state.

The morning after the primary cleo.
ton, the Fargo Courier-News claimed
the nomination Of Buchanan by from
$4,000 to $4,000. Later in the week
these figures were reduced by the
Courier-News to 5000, and then they
were allowed to sag gradually to 5000
1000 and then 1000. When it be-
came generally known that Hanna and
not Buchanan had been nominated,
the Courier-News was a standpatte1
from standpatville and apparently re-
fused to recognize defeas and the
last information which, SO far as any
body knows, was ever given to the
readers Of the Courier-News were
the figures quoted above-Buchanan
nominated by 1000. Lest the G. N.
lacks definite information, we would
state in passing that Hanna really
was nominated by the Republicans
Of North Dakota with plurality Of
988 votes.

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.

The Herald said yesterday morning
that it would be the duty Of the re.
publican state committee to appoint
a candidate to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of one of the party
candidates for presidential elector.
1t happened that several local men
had ben trying to find out what the
law is on that subject, and the Her.
aid was asked to cite its authority TO,
the statement that it had made,
Greatly to his surprise, the editor
found himself unable to cite any au.
!thoritY on the subject, which was ex.
actly the condition that the other in
vestigators had found themselves in
1t seems, so far as is apparent at this
time, that in the framing Of the pri-
mary election law the legislature
overlooked entirely the matter of fill.
ing vacancies. The statement made
by the Herald as to the manner of
filing this vacancy was based, Of
course, on past custom and the usual
understanding of the duties of state
committees, and such action is con.
stantly being taken or contemplated
by local committees. Apparently all
this is without specific authority.
The chances are, however, that the
filing Of vacancies would be construed
to be one of the natural and ordinary
duties Of political committees, as 9th.
erwise there would be no method of
filling them, and the calling Of spe-
clal election for that purpose would
be out Of the question. This suggests
the thought which has often been
mentioned before that before bills
are enacted into law, they should be
passed On by a competent body, such
as a special commission created fol
that purpose, which should analyze
each bill, compare it with existing
laws, point out omissions and con-
f1lctfng provisions, and suggest such
amendments either IN subject mat.
ter or phraseology as might be deem
ed wise, advancing the reasons fol
each change. This would take moth.

information which they now lack

In the death Of General Booth,

ability, keen judgment, strong faith
and sincere belief that all men are
really brothers in the eyes Of God,

great army, that has carried the
Christian religion into dark corners
where the word Of God was never
before heard. When the Salvation

With regard % politics, there is a

The state central committees will
soon perfect organization. Let their
deliberations be such that the battle
will be waged along true party lines.
Since the head of the state republican
ticket for govern is a gentleman,
SO let the state committee of the re-
publicans be gentlemen. We will
give Hellstrom credit for being man,
even though democrat. The good
deeds, and qualifications Of the man
and the principles he stands for should
be the road that leads to the Office

Che recently nded session of con-
gress was On of the most useless
and even futile gatherings Of the law.
makers in the nation g history. It
was fine example Of how things
should not be done. Time was wasted
and money was thrown away, as u.s.
ual. But the worst feature of the
session as the jockeying of the dem.
ocrats and republicans for political
advantage and for the creation of
campaign thunder. In this incessant
squabbling the interests of the people
who sent the senators and represen-
tatives to Washington were entirely
overlooked, and the time which should
have been used in passing new legis-
lation and remedying existing laws
was spent in verbal brawling which
would have hardly been creditable to

Eminent lawyers, from the presi.
dent down are lying awake nights for
fear that the foundation Of the entire
social structure will be torn to pieces
by what has been called the "recall
Of judicial decisions.'' And yet we
are doing what amounts to the very
same thing every time we amend a
constitution, and the social structure
seems to stand the rack: fairly well.
All that the present proposal amounts
to is a suggestion that the constitu-
ton BE amended little more readily
and directly. The initiative as applied
to constitutional amendments would
work in almost exactly the same way.
