CONGRESSIONAL ABSENTEEs.

Absenteeism in both the upper and
the lower houses Of congress has been
a common evil, too common in fact
to excite any great amount of CON-
ment. Constituents are usually too
far away to study very closely the at
tendance record of their senators and
representatives except when some dir
igent 'o,.onent has exposed the record
of attendance and non.attendance.
Attorneys for Judge Archibald, on
trial before the senate which is sitting
as a court of impeachment, threaten
to cause ar %upheaval, however, against
the. absentee members. If the verdict
is adverse to their client they propose
70 challenge the votes Of the senators
who failed to sit at the impeachment
sessions on the very logical grounds
that such members of the court can.
not honestly pass judgment. The same
protest was raised in the trial of Sen
ato- Lorimer when senators, includ.
ing some who voted for as we'll as
some who voted against the accused
member, admitted they had heard
practically none of the testimony. In
the Lorimer'case the excuse was &C.
cepted that a record of the testimony
might be read; in the Archibald trial
much of the evidence could not be IN
derstood except by physical attend.
ance at the session of the senate court.
The protest will not likely save
Archibald if the majority vote is
against him, but may have a whole.
some effect on the national legislature.
Senators and representatives are sent
to Washington to represent their con
stituents and OF to loaf.

A FARCE.

One Of the ridiculous legal %fctions in
the matter Of personal service" OF
the subpoena is being illustrated il
New York under circumstances that
ae more than ordinarily ludicrous.
The circumstances themselves furnish
an illuminating commentary on the
quality of the legal Pigment that a
subpoena cannot be sufficiently "sery-
ed unless a properly authorized offic-
ial hands it in person to the witness
whose presence is desired.
William Rockefeller is urgently
wanted to testify in the congressional
investigation of the so-ca!led money
trust" Mr.. Rockefeller is securely
barricaded behind the doors of his
New YORK mansion and relays of hired
sleuths and regular officers of the in
vestigating committee are encamped
rcl1d about the premises, to say moth.
ing of various other domiciles' in
which it is barely possible the witness
might have taken refuge. Mr.. Rookie
Teller knows he is wanted by the Unit
ed States government; the govern
ment is morally certain of the where
abouts of Mr.. Rockefeller, yet the two
parties in interest are engaged in a
hide and seek farce, the real issue
being whether or not Mr.. Rockefeller
can outwit the government.
Theoretically the doctrine OF person
al service is an admirable safeguard
of the rights Of the citizen, a prevent.
i've against snap judgment, secret &C.
cusation and all that sort OF thing.
But the conditions which rendered it
such a necessary precaution when it
was originally established have long
since passed away and the Rockefel-
Ter case would be g%rotesquely funny II
it did not have an undercurrent some.
thing like stupidity, v e though the
theory itself may pass muster. Moth

COMMUNICATION

Editor Tribune: My observation of the
old convention system of selecting candi-
dates for office compared to the primary
election system is: The convention sys-
TEN was good so far as initiating or Sc
lecting extended, but very defective in
the method of final approval or obtaining
the voters judgment. The primary cleo
ton alone has proved to be. the correct
remedy for the defect, but Is itself defec-
tive where the convention was effective.
As it is now, a cOterie of politicians
will match their wits, unite IN a ticket
for positions, and then finance the effort.
This combination forces others who have
a political thirst and hunger for office
to band themselves together in like man.
ner. Each side erects a banner which
proclaims to the world that they repre-
sent the cause of the people" When
reduced to a strict definition it is found
to be a bunch of ''ins'' or outs or try
to-get-ins." ..
If an individual decides to go it
alone" he is accused by both bands, as
being an %insurgent because he won't at
fliate with n side, and therefore mot
in it," And generally he is not.
Now, when this condition is submitted
to the primary election the voter has no
right in initiating his own choice. All
he can do is to choose Sides on others
choice. $780,, ~.
The primary election act provides for
precinct. county n state committee
meetings after the primary election.
These committee meetings. with some
notifications. can be held prior to the
primary election and thus provide for
the combination OF the convention and
primary systems for which the following
plan Is suggested,
Hold precinct conventions six weeks
prior to- primary election and nominate
precinct officers, instruct for county and
state officers, and planks for state plat
form. = ~
Hold county conventions five weeks
prior to primary election and, upon roll
call. whenever one-fourth of all precincts
FAVOR placing any name on the ticket for
any office, so order it. Also upon ma
Jorlty vote instruct for state officers and
planks for state platform.
Hold state convention four weeks prior
to primary election and, upon roll call,
whenever one-fourth of all the counties
FAVOR placing any name o. state ticket,
so order It.. Also adopt state platform
numbering and titling Tin not exceeding
three words) each plank.
Make all Instructions from precinct TO
county ard from county to state conyen-
ton in writing. Provide penalty for
Iailure or refusal to carry out such in.
structlons. Allow county and state con-
ventions to place not exceeding three
names on a ticket for the same office.
ALLOW individual, and self-seekinR nomi-
nations, as at present provided for.
submit all county and state tickets 50
made, and NO" and title" of each
plank of platform to the primary election
for adoption or rejection.
Publish the platforms in state publicity

me people who are to be labeled of n
certain political faith ought to have a
voice in prescribing that faith.
Let the office seek the man" is the
argument for this plan.

GOOD ROADS.

The subject of good roads is one
that should and probably will be given
serious consideration by the legisla-
ture now in session in Bismarck.
There is no departure that is Of more
value to the entire population Of the
state than that Of good roads.
Everyone would benefit by a system
of better highways in North Dakota.
There are many plans for the making
of better roads. The old township
plan has proved to be a farce and it
is time something else was devised.
The Tribune is not prepared to say
just what is the bess plan of proceed
ure in this state but believes that the
present legislature will be able to sue
cessfully cope with the situation.
Probably both the incoming AID the
outgoing governors will have a good
deal to say on the subject in their
messages today and that part of the
communication should be given close
attention.
Good roads means not only the de-
velopment of the cities and towns of
the state but a huge increase in the
price Of farm lands, as a good road
puts the farmer closer to market and
while it reduces the cost of marketing
his produce it will make the living ex-
refseasof the ciay*and village dweller
lower.
Statistics have been prepared show.
ing the value of improved highways
and many think that the prophecies of
the advocates of the building Of bet
ter roads are but the dreams of theor-
lists, but where the good roads are
now the matter has been shown to
produce a practical profit.
Let the matter be we'll and carefully
considered by the members of the
house and senate and bills regarding
the proposition should be Introduced
early in the session that they may
be given proper consideration and the
chaff thrcshed out Of the grain.
