COMPULSORY VOTING

In countries having republican
form CT government one OF the serf
Gus problems is. how TO get out the
vote in elections. In the United
States where the majority is sup,
/ posed 20 rule ii il more often the
case that our p1b!ic officials are
elected BY a minority vote. Presidents
are seldom chosen by majority
cote fthe people In the national
election last fall President Wilson
fell far short Of receiving majority
OF the popular vote. In state and mu.
nicipal elections the percentage o.
the registered vote cast is almost
always smaller than in president
ial election, and not infrequentiy IN
tlerticns involving radical casHef
iu constitutions and in forms OF gov
erument only forty or fifty per Gem
of tho vote Is recorded at the polls.
TO remedy this Indifference 10 an
important civic duty, some countries
have made voting compulsory, nut
Switzerland VAS the first TO make
voting obligatory.
me first country TO initiate Swit
zcrland on a national scale was Ar

The Argentina trisl with the opiig-

Out of thirty-four writing the ex-

this number are graduates of the state
university. This is the first time in
the history Of the state when grad

in examination. Twenty-seven sub

WATER IN THE SOIL
IS LIKE MONEY
IN THE BANK

in North Dakota-taking a ten year
averages above ID inches. The
western two-thirds of North Dako-
ta--which is properly termed semi
arid--runs we'll above 16 inches-or
over eighteen hundred tons per acre
per year, On the average.
We have here the most retentive
clay subsoil in the world; there is
practically nc such thing as subter-
ranean drainage here-except in some
parts of The west Missouri country.
So our rainfall is ample for all crops
grown in thi; zone, if conserved.
In fact / am willing to go on record
as saying that the time is not far dis
tant when the so-called scarcity of
rainfall will be looked upon as one If
Gods blessings, and we will be adver-
tising that fact as an inducement for
people to settle here.
So, | repeat, our rainfall is amplc.
even if we conserve only 60 or 70 per
cent of it.
Water in the soil here is none in
the bank.
Still there are farmers in every
community where this paper c;rculates
who are simply miners and sappers
of the soil, ard some of them know
this to be correct characterization of
their practices. Dire necessity seems
to compel some people to stick to
methods which they know to be
wrong.
Again there are those who seem to
be utterly Indifferent to the gospel of
better work The jolt of the past
few weeks has reached hundreds Of
the Indifferent kind-and they are be-
ginning to see the light.
So, my brother farmers, you have
no right to condemn this country un-
til you just dig up or 10 inches of
the top Of your farmland after you
have done that few years you will
agree with me that this is the safest
crop country between the oceans.
This soil has IA elements in it. Old
Mother Nature looks after II of these
elements you have only 8 to
care for-those making up the humus
content. This state has so many nat
ural advantages and so few short
comings.

Clark Former Minot Citizen.
Sam H. Clark, one of the defend
ants, was formerly prominent
Minot citizen, having been editor and
one of the publishers of hte Minot
Daily Reporter for several years. He
was mayor Of Minot for a term. C. H.
Crockard, the other defendant, re-
sided at Douglas, Ward county, for
several years. where he published the
Douglas Herald, in which paper he is
still interested. The defendants have
made quite q financial success of pub
fishing the Jim Jam Jems magazine,
which gained nationwide circula-
tion. Clark informed q Minot friend
at Bismarck during the trial that it
was his intention to continue the pub
lication of the magazine, even tho
eventually he had to 60 to prison. He
proposes in that event to do the writ
ing on his own time.
In the appeal, the evidence intro
duced in the trial will not be given as
much consideration as the constitu-
tionality Of the points of law.
1t is said that this is but begin
ming Of series of actions to be brot
all over the United States.

Bismarck, N. D., June 27.-At 1890
last night, after having been out since
noon Of the same day and reporting
a disagreement once at $50, the jury
in the Jim Jam Jems case brought
in their verdict and as stated above
found the defendants guilty on two
counts and not guilty on the other %
which they had before them.
A gasp of astonishment went over
the small audience gathered when the
verdict was read, as there were but
few who thought there would be any
thing but disagreement or an ac-
quittal, and an almost audible mur-
mur of astonishment swept over the
room when the sentence was announc-
ed.
Refused New Trial.
AS soon as the verdict was announc-
ed Attorney Hildreth asked that SEN
tence be passed and Attorney Bangs
for the defense Immediately asked for
new trial, but this was denied by
Judge Willard. The court then ask
ed each of the defendants If they had
any thing to say why sentence should
not be passed, and upon an answer in
the negative the judge pronounced
the sentence set forth above. Messrs.
Clark and Crockard were then re-
manded to the care Of the United
States Marshal. There is no question
but that an appeal will be taken to
q higher court and the defendants
will be out on bond until the case
comes up again. Judge Willard plac-
ed both defendants under a bond Of
$4,000, which was Immediately offer
ed from dozen different sources.
Scores of friends Of the defendants
crowded to the front Of the court
room and offered their sympathy and
much more material assistance if it
should be needed.
Arguments in the case of the gov
ernment VS.. Sam H. Clark and G. H.
Crockard as publishers Of the maga-
zine "Jim Jam Jems," were completed
in federal court Thursday morning
and the case given to the jury at
1925, after Judge Willard had de-
livered his charge. The charge was
about the same as was given at the
last trial in April, when the jury
was unable to agree and was rather
severe on the defendants. He gave the
definition of the word obscene" and
impressed upon the jury the fact that
they could find guilty on only one
count or all Of the nine counts that
are included in the indictment. Geo.
Bangs, for the defense, offered num-
Der Of objections to the charge and
they will become q part Of the records
4 in the case.
When court opened in the morning
George Bangs made the closing adj
dress to the jury fol the defense and
made an eloquent plea for the acquit-
til Of his clients. He went into many
phases of the case and attacked the
testimony that had been offered by
the government. Haupt for the pros
ecution made the closing address to
the jury. He asked for the allotted
time and went quite full into the case
in an effort to Offset the arguments Of
Messrs. Bangs and Nash.
The jury was given short time to
deliberate before being taken out to
lunch and then were returned to the
jury room, where they deliberated for
the rest Of the afternoon and at $3.50
came in and asked for further instruc-
tions. They had not been able g
