one Of the chief reasons why this
country leads the world in divorce is
because Americans so often settle
this question in the wrong way by
the wife and husband each going
his or her own way-the wife going
i'm for society. and the husband go
ing in for business, and both land
ing in Reno. When you meet
married woman travelling alone. or
going to balls and theaters with
friends, instead of her husband, you
don't need any other tip as to the
state Of affairs in that family.
OF course men say that they
have to WORN so hard they haven't
time to go about with their wives,
but f husbands gave their wives
more of their time and personal at

better for both

If they have ability and grit, they

Conservation of Human
Race as an Urgent Need
---and---
Development of Deserv-
ing Men and Women
Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

"HERE is one need of the
times that the generosity of
our large givers seems not
quite to have touched. but need
which, if handsomely met, would
go far toward the conservation of
valuable material that is now run
ming to waste
We have latterly learned to
realize that our wealth in forests,
water power and minerals has
been dealt with so carelessly and
extravagantly as seriously to i'm
pair our resources, and to cause
mischief that only the prolonged
pursuance of a more cautious pol
icy will avail to repair.
But our new policy of conserva-
ton will not be complete till it also
extends itself outside the region of
our material assets. Very much of
the humanitarian work that is be-
ing done is done in pursuance of
the conservation idea, and is an at
tempt to prevent values in human
bodies, minds and characters from
being wastefully sacrificed
Our thought just now is upon one
particular class of people-men and
women-w whose embarrassed condi-
ton is making. consistent appeal
to any man who is known to be at
all interested in those who have
abilities and ambition, but whose
abilities are rendered unproductive
and their ambitions disappointed
by the imperious limitations of cir
cumstances-pe people who could do
something worth while. but who
are so hampered by adverse condi-
tons that They have no chance to
get start.

argument goes on over every in
vitation, and ends with tears on one
side, and a banging door on the
other and the queer part of it all is
that each side is perfectly right
from his or her point of view
The solution of the problem is
only to be found in compromise,
and undoubtedly, it would make
for peace In most families if the
wife would establish the house

band would accompany her with

protest, The balance Of the time
she could take her pleasures with
out him at the various afternoon
diversions that women have de-
vised to meet this very contingency
1t is unfortunate that the very
difference of their fields of labor
makes men and women look at this
question from opposite angles. The
husband. who is seeing new faces
every minute of the day, and talk
ing to new people. longs for quiet
and rest in the evening. The woman
who has been shut UP in the house
all day often with no one to speak
to, longs for fresh faces and fresh
interests. This being true, why
should they not figure out together
a working schedule by which the
man should go cheerfully abroad
with his wife a certain number of
nights a week, while the balance
she may remain at home without

and is fighting desperately to stave
off the certain defeat of renomina-
tion that stares him in the face.
The motives for calling an extra ses-
sion of the legislature, seven months
before regular session is due, are
at least questionable.

mand for an extra session of the leg.

session of the legislature and that he
would not call one.
The governor heard no demand for
an extra session until his own chanc-
es for denomination became desper-
ate. 1t is impossible not to believe
that he has some motive other than
the common good in taking action
at this time. Does he hope to gain
some measure of popularity by ap-
pearing to consult the will of the peo-
pie? Or does he hope to win the
nomination by having passed a pri-
mary law which will allow him to
ride in with a small plurality while
the votes of the opposition are
scattered among several candidates.
Acting on the instructions from
the state convention, the state CEN
tral committee could have provided
a preferential primary for the gov
ernorship. But direct primary
is what the people of the state really
want. The legislature should pass
one and probably will, but let it be
a modern law-one that will not
allow mere plurality of votes,
cast by minority of those voting,
to nominate candidate. Let it pro-
vide that the nominee must be the
choice of majority of the party.
To get at this result, a provision for
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1912-05-18
Q first and second choice would be

first and second choice would be
beneficial.
A corrupt practices act and reap
portionment are two things that the
state needs badly and should have at
once The other questions may be
properly left to the regular session
Of the legislature. Mileage but no
salaries are allowed the members
for an extra session and it is hardly
fair to keep them unduly. A direct
primary, corrupt practices and re-
apportionment acts can be passed in
ia short session if the members get
down to work.
Eberhart has his back to the wall!
He will bear watching that he and
his bosses do not try to foist on the
state laws which will allow the
bosses to evade the will of the peo-
pie and continue in power.

The Nymore Road.

Representatives of the CONNER
cial club are to meet with the city
council Monday evening in order
that the two bodies may get together
on the Nymore road proposition.
This matter has hung fire for too
long and it is time that construc-
tive action was taken at once. The
road is one of the main arteries of
travel to the city and should be kept
in first class condition rather than
allowing it to be detriment to the
bringing of loads into the city.
1t would be we'll for the mer-
chants of Bemidji to be present at
the council meeting Monday night
and assist with their advice. It is
the merchants who are losing
through the bad road. Their per-
sonal interests should be strong
enough to force action on the matter.
The road is in bad shape and has
been for some time. Instead of
spending one or two hundred dol
lars year in repairs that are not
permanent, steps should be taken for
paving or otherwise putting the road
in first class condition for heavy
hauls.
