THE PRIMARIES.

North Dakota voters failed to take
advantage Of the primaries. Nearly
half the men qualified to exercise their
franchises remained away from the
polls. The voters were afflicted with
the hookworm-or something equally
as bad.
OF course the average man used up
some of his political enthusiasm at
the presidential preference primaries
and didn't care to encore so soon. An
election day every few weeks clogs on
some people-just like too much cam
dy.
Then again election reforms have
run riot in North Dakota. The last
legislative session went mad over
new fads and fancies. They sur
rounded the ballots with all kinds of
red tape.
Many voters refused to state their
political preference to the assessors.
Others were terrified and confused by
the agitation over the second choice
law. The vote was very light.
When only about half the voters
participate in the primaries-it can't
be said that the people are wildly en-
thusiastic over the plan.
Is there anything to indicate that
North Dakotans really want the pri-
maries?

Their little boy belonged to the nine. 1t happened, however, that they were
away from home, and when they had gone the gate had been locked to keep
strangers out OF their nice flower beds
First the boys tried to open the gate It was locked. They talked it over,

lLAueHs LAST.

The democrats had 1t on the repub-
Leans when the latter were at each
others throat at the national conven-
ton in Chicago. Many a merry quip
was made t the expense OF the re-
publicans. Candor compels the adj
mission that they were deserved.
But the situation has changed. The
national democratic convention at
Baltimore had its steam roller-and
its internal bitterness. 1t was the re-
publican turn to smile-out loud. The
republicans are having their laugh
now-and best Of ali, they are laugh
ing best.
The arrangements at Baltimore
were excreabie-even according to
democratic newspapers. Delegates
had difficulty in finding their seats.
Police protection was inadequate.
The delegates and the crowd were un-
ruIy and noisy and everything dragged.
The climax to the mob rule came
when the presiding officer was com

SCRIPTURE.
Joshua /, 1-e.

Now after the death of Moses the
servant Of the Lord, 1t came to pass
that the Lord spake unto Joshua the
son of Nun, Moses minister, saying,
Moses my servant is dead; now
therefore arise, go over this Jordan,
thou, and all this people, unto the
land which / do give to them, even
to the children Of Israel.
Every place that the. sole Of your
foot shall tread upon, that have /
given unto you, as / said unto Moses.
From the wilderness and this Le-
banon ever unto the great river, the
river Euphrates, all the land of the
Hittites, and unto the great sea to-
ward the going down of the sun, shall
be your coast.
There shall not any man be able
to stand before thee all the days Of
thy life: as I was with Moses, so l will
be with thee: l will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee.
Be strong and of good courage: for
unto this people shalt thou divide for
an inheritance the land, which I
sware unto your fathers to give them.
Only be thou strong n very cour-
ageous, that thou mayst observe to
do according to all the law, which
Moses my servant commanded thee:
turn not from it to the right hand or
to the left, that thou mayst prosper
whithersover thou goest.
This book Of the law shall not de-
part out Of thy mouth; but thou shalt
mediate therein day and night, that
thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
to all that is written therein: for then
thou sraft make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good sue
cess.
Have not I commanded thee? Be
strong and of good courage: be not
afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for
the Lord thy God is with thee with
ersoever thou goest.

HATPINs AND WASHERS,

Chicago is solving the masher prob
lem by establishing a beauty squad
armed with hat pins. This squad in
cludes society women, pretty clerks,
factory girls, stenographers and do
Tnestics.
1T is planned to wage a relentless
war on the most despicable limitations
of rnen-the Washers. When one of
the single-idead. simpering idiots
with a smile on his face and a hat
about the size Of a fried egg on his
head-attempts to f1irt with one of the
beauty squad-he is due for some
thing. 1t will be hat pin. 1t will be
jabbed in at liberal length-where il
will do the most good.
A few insertions will change the
simpering smiles into bowls of pain
The average masher hasn't enough
brains that he can be reached by rea.
son. Few of them can be ridiculet
into decency. But most of them still
have the sense of feeling-and about
two inches of hat pin-driven will
force by an angry and outraged de.
cent woman, will work reforms.
Some Fargo girls could use hat PIN
to an advantage and they would b,
safer from annoyance and insult aft.

SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1912.
N o.

The returns indicate beyond the
slightest possibility Of doubt that L.
b, Hanna received more first choice
votes than any other republican cam
didate for governor. The second
choice votes received by Mr.. Hanna
and J. A. Buchanan, the second high
man, are about evenly divided.
One of the natural results of the
new system was that the counties in
which Hanna won would cast slight
ly more second choice votes for Bu-
chanan and the counties in which Blu
chanan led gave Hanna more OF the
second choice. In this way the differ
ence In the number OF second choice
votes will not be great.
The second choice vote was only
about 10 pei CEN Of the total and is
only a negligible factor at best.
The people Of North Dakota-re-
gardless Of whether they are republic
cans, democrats, socialists or prohi-
that l. B. Hanna has been made the
republican nominee. The republicans
are entitled to credit and praise for
their discrimination and judgment.
Mr.. Hanna is fitted in every way to
become governor Of the state. His
long business and public experience
have qualified him ideally for the po-
sition.
The Forum predicts that Mr.. Hanna
will be elected in November by a
handsome majority-and that he will
give North Dakota one of the best ad-
ministrations in its history.
North Dakota has been rent with
factionaI differences for some years.
The fights have resulted to their un-
doing-and to the benefit of the dem
ocracy. It is a foolish individual who
never profits by experience. North
Dakotans realize the mistakes of the
portunity to correct them-and re-
store North Dakota republicans to
their proper position.
The friends and supporters Of Mr.,
Hanna have conducted a clean cam
paign. No attacks were made on the
opposition. MI. Buchanan was not
assailed in his public or private life,
Mr.. Johnson was not abused by any
interest friendly to Mr.. Hanna The
successful nominee and his friends
have for congratuIation that
they conducted such a fair and square
campaign
The republicans went into the pri-
maries in good faith. Had MI. Blu.
chanan - Mr.. Johnson won, Mr.
Hanna and his friends would nave &C.
quiesced in the resultant rendered
the successful nominee their most
loyal support.
The Forum feels that the real re.
pubhcans who Loyalty supported
Messrs. Buchanan and Johnson will
do the same for Mr.. Hanna-and that
North Dakota will be reclaimed from
the democrats this fall by one Of It'll
old time republican majorities.

i've sign so that 1t will be- possible for
a deaf and dumb man to drive his au-
to from Winnipeg to at least the
Texas state line without asking a
question as to where to find the best
road, and the road will be extended
across Texas as rapidly as possible.
The entire line from Winnipeg to the
Texas state line has been definitely
mapped and logged and will appear
in the Automobile Blue Book for 1912
and other auto guides.
P. II. Albright Of Winfield, Kan,
who made a trip from Winfield. kan.
to Winnipeg, Canada, last year SAYS:
The strip Of country north and south
300 miles in width, through which the
Meridian road passes along about the
center. is perhaps the richest agricul-
tural belt, from top to bottom In
America, producing every variety of
grain, fruits and textures grown In
the United States. Taken as a whole
1t is capable Of supporting the entire
population now found east of the Mis-
sissippi river.
There car be no question that some
day in the near future 1t will have a
self supporting population of at least
100000 people to every 100 miles.
What a good road through this Sec
ton means to the towns along the
road q be in part only a matter Of
conjecture. 1t will certainly mean
more than any railroad now travers-
ing the section because it means a
highway for the 100, 900 conveyances
that will move without any schedule
at all times of day and night, convey
ing all kinds of products, both manu-
featured products and products of the
soil. It's effect will be similar to and
more like that OF a great waterway,
Imagine a great canal sixty feet in
width where no tolls are charged
where all kinds of craft are plying
and it can be imagined in part what
this great highway will be fifty years
from now. For long before that time
the millions In the east will have
learned that they must get nearer tt
the source of production to get at The
now almost prohibitive cost of living
and the market of the factories anl
shops will be across the road from
the corn, wheat and cotton fields o.
the west and south.
Marvellous as have been the changes
wrought thereto by the Intervention
OF machinery, no other discovery hat
been made that win contribute NOR,

plosive engine, now but a dream. err

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctIy an epoch ia their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of curse nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
a distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an UNI
prepared condition, and with ample time
Ia which to prepare, women will persist
IN going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. inkham'sVegetable Conn
pound, a most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.
