1t won't take an adding machine
this year to foot up the Progressive
vote.
REFORM is NE EDED.

Each election only demonstrates
the inadequacy of the present prim-
airy laws. The time has come when
the state should swing back to gov.
eminent by party. Everywhere the
tendency is toward representative
government rather than in the direc-
tion Of so-called "direct government
by ballot.
Men are selected under the primary
now solely upon the issue of person
atty. Principles are lost sight of and
vital issues confused in local conflicts
and obscured by conflicting ambi-
tions.
That the primary does not always
indicate the popular will is shown by
the fact that the people reverse them
selves at an election when issues are
made clearer and party lines more
tightly drawn.
The non-partisan primary as we
have It in North Dakota is the es.

THE N AND BAR.

There has grown up in recent years
an impression that the bar should ex
ert a special influence over the selec.
ton of our judges.
Why the attorneys practicing be.
fore the bar should be accorded this
p~rerogative is not quite clear, but
nevertheless, bar organizations have
been exerting an increasing influence
in the selection of our judges.
Ear associations in nearly every
state meet and ballot secretly for
judges and then adopt resolutions en-
dorsing those receiving the highest
vote.
That the public in many instances
refuse to be impressed by the en-
dorsement of lawyers is evident in
the election results in this, as we'll as
other states. The attempt OF attor-
neys to force judicial selections can
only result d~isastrously in the long
run.

CHARGES STIR
BRITISH PEOPLE
Reported That Recruits Are Not
Well Cared for in Camp.

London, Nov. 5.-Charges that men
and boys in England's training camps
are not receiving humane treatment
and that many deaths are resulting
from bad feeding and poor shelter
are causing great indignation. INT
complaints recall charges of criminal
neglect that were made against mill
tary authorities responsible for con-
ditions at mobilization centers in the
United States during the Spanish
American war.
Some of the charges against the
British war Office have been put into
! specific form. A letter written by p
H. Bailey of bennington Spa, whose
son enlisted from oxford on Septeln,
Der 10 and died from pneumonia on
the training grounds on Salisbury
Plains, has been made public. From
it is taken the following story:
In the course of his training, the
young recruit wrote to his father.
On October 2, he: said:
Stiff and Suffering.
1--WE, of course, are stiff and sui.
fer from bad feet, but we should not
mind these discomforts if they would
only feed us properly. Today the
food was slightly better, but it was
not cooked. None of has had a
square meal since we left home-or a
cup of tea. What they call tea is
colored water dosed with salt. The
clothes they have given us are rotten
and tear at the slightest strain. All
the buttons hangtlon by a thread or
two. This afternoon about 100 of the
600 that were drilling had their trous-
ers split frcm end to end
The following dayshe wrote on a
postcard: I:
"Am still living, feeling damp at
night, nj board floors in the tents
yet"
The last letter, on October 5, stat
ed:
Regarding the food problem, the
same thing has happened again. The
camp grumble, and so would anyone
if they had five hours drill and no
food. hope to come home for Christ
mas, but please have plenty of food"
No further letters came, but on Oc-
tober 10 Mr.. Bailey received word to
visit his son in a military hospital at
Bristol. He was fortunate enough to
arrive some hours before death oc-
Cured. The boy was full of graft
tude for the kindness of the hospital
staff, but bitterly condemned the lack
of preparation for the men, the damp
tents and scanty and badly cooked
food supply.
This is but one of a number of
deaths in the training camps, and the
proper clothing and housing of the
men is proceeding all too slowly, &C
cording to critics, in view of the com
ing OF winter

NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE,

Some post-election reflections are
rather timely now. The results show
ed c%onclusively that neutrality in the
great European crisis was not a po
litical issue and that the rank and
file of the voters refused to so con
slider it.
THANK God for wilson was a ia
vorite slogan, but the politicians
made the fatal blunder of everyday
ing their hand. Sensible voters know
that the attitude of President Wilson
has nothing to do with politics.
A Republican congress and presi.
dent would be as anxious to preserve
peace as Wilson and his leaders? II
is not a question of party, but one OF
patriotism.
The slogan rather should have
been:

Mothers of the World Hope
To Secure Universal Peace
New Organization Enlistng Women of the World To Fight for
International Disarmament.

1.-THE Mothers Of the World,"-this
is the name of an organization which
J has come out of the awfulness Of this
present struggle of nations in Europe.
The purposes of the organization are
made clear in the statement just Is
sued from the organization headquar-
tiers. Here are the purposes:
Get all the nations of the world
to enter agreement to refrain from
war or bloody conflict for one thous-
and years-agreement to be made
binding by international disarmament
and a world police force, army, navy
or aerial fleet controlled by The
| Hague and subscribed to by all the
nations for the equal protection of all
questions arising during that time to
be settled by arbitration.
"NVith such a binding agreement it
is readily seen that no country need
fear the other. But that all can work
in peace, educating their people and
developing the resources. of their
countries, daring to bear good will to
all. We in the meantime also to de-
wise good workable ways whereby all
children and expectant mothers be
removed from danger zone in time OF
wal or otherwise protected. There
are many geniuses among he women
of the world and we are confident
that these will discover the way to do
this.
"This movement is confined to no
one particular natiOn-ft0 no race-tO
no creed-any more than mother
hood is so confined, but for all the
people of the world if they but will
eve shall need volunteers and re-
representatives. all over the world as
much as ever an army needed them.
We have no government to approp'
rate a fund toward II army or to
place a tax on the already o%verburd'
ened people for the cause of peace;
they are all too busy with war and
turning all the money they can lay
their hands on into more war, which
under existing conditions are, OF
course, the only things that can be
done. Our cause is, fortunately, not
so dependent on gold and silver-love
and service are what we need and
when the call is issued for. volunteers
we know that every mother, sister
and daughter will respond
Governors Wives in Charge.
The wife of the governor of each
state has been asked to take charge
of the work in that particular terri
tory and to signify her consent to the
press of the state, so that the names
of members and all donations from
that state may be sent to her. Here
is the appeal the organization makes:
War.
One little sidelight on the part of
many mothers and children must bear

I'VE have been assured Of safety
But Oh! my heart is fearful-the ba-
by is sleeping peacefully in the cradle
at my feet-Dave, the next, is cuddled
close in my arms, while Jean, the old.

her dear. little head on my shoulder.

sence of primary reform. 1t is the
last word in direct government"
However, it works no better thar
the regular primary. 1t is a no NOR
efficient vehicle for expressing the
choice of the people than the old con
ventfon.
At the non-partisan primary the
people selected one candidate by more
than 5000 over his opponent. In -four
months time, the electorate rose up
and defeated it's first choice by near
ly 1000.
What transpired in the four months
to turn some 5000 votes was a Wig
orous campaign of the man elected
last Tuesday.
This proves conclusively that the
primary law is only a weak vehicle,
after all. for registering the peoples
choice. w."
It is unlikely that the state will
return to the old convention system,
but some primary reforms should be
instituted which will lift the selec-
ption Of candidates above the level or
mere personal conflicts.
Some good men have been elected
under the present system, but they
have been successful in spite Of the
primary.
One of the most pernicious features
of the primary system is the fact that
the defeated wing within the party
concentrate at the election to defeat
1he primary winner. The primary
pits factions more bitterly against
each other than the convention sys-
tenn ever did.
But worst Of all, the primary law,
lllSledu VI SpUlllHS NotUlo ~ q lS"i
ization of their suffrage responsible
ity, has decreased interest. We have
been attempting through fine spun
election laws, to enforce honesty by
legislation, which, of course. is usual
ly futile.
The only cure for present condl-
tons is a combination primary and
convention system. That system
properly safeguarded will work out
we'll and eradicate many of the evils
of the present system.
Judges should be selected at spe-
cial elections and if that is not done
their names, at least, should appear
on the ballot with the other state can
didates. Separate ballots only in
crease the election machinery and
complicate balloting.
Everything should be done to facil-
itate the choice of our public officials.
The coming legislature can we'll d.
rect it's attention to election reforms
and the primary law should receive
first attention.
