u o PAT.

The North Dakota supreme court
refused to renig on it's position in re-
gard to the validity of the law requir-
ing assessors to take the political
preferences Of the voters. Attorney
General Miller gave an opinion that
the law We unconstitutional. The SUI
preme court took the other view. The
attorney general then e~ndeavored to
show the justices they had erred
but the court stood pat.
Voters must now give the assessors
their political preference-if they wish
to ballot at the primaries. Republ!-
cans and democrats will, in this man
ner, be separated. No longer can the
democrats butt into republican nomi-
nations. The constitutionality of the
registration law-to separate the par
ties at the primaries-was absolutely
essential-if the primaries are to be
maintained-or to mean anything.
The law was introduced by an in
surg.--t I enacted by an insurgent
legislature-but when leaders learned
hat it would prevent first aid to weak
insurgers by the democrats-the fight
against the validity of the law COM
menced. Insurgent editors-on the tip
from the leaders-wrote frenzied de-
c~larations regarding the unconstitu-
tionality of the law.
The measure seems all right-if the
primary law is to be retained.

Press Comment

Gwinner Press: Since a majority
of the judges of the supreme court
can render verdicts, why not allow
a majority Of the jurors in a district
court to do the same thing? The
Fargo Forum thinks such a change
in our judicial system would lessen
the liability to bride a juror, for under
our present system man "a pre-
vent a verdict that the eleven other
jurors would give.
1t might be added that it would also
save a lot of second and third hear
ings of the same case, and conse-
quently, a lot Of public expense. If a
majority Of a supreme court "a rem
der a verdict, certainly nine or more
jurors out of the twelve in the box of
a district court ought to be able to
decide the cases that come before
them.

ter, boards the hands, helps prepare
things for market, is a watch dog for
the premises when he is away and
sometimes assists with the poultry and
garden; and when he secretly signs

he is cheating his partner as well as
robbing his wife; and it is an offense
the law would not tolerate in any
other co-partnership, nor should 1t
in this. There is a law that prevents
a man from selling his farm without
his wife's signature, and it sounds as
if a wife was of some Importance;
but it is rendered non-effective as a
p~reservative of her home from the
fact that he can mortgage 1t and
endorse other mems papers to any
extent without her knowledge or
consent, and thus dispose of the
family possessions, and the sheriff
can sell, and she has no rights h q
he is bound to respect. This statute
is mockery until it Is supplemented
by another making a mans signature.
