WHY THE VOTERS
| DO NOT REGISTER
LOCAL MAN GIVES REASONS WHY
MANY VOTERS WILL NOT TAKE
PART IN PRIMARY ELECTION.

saw an article m 1he Evening
Times-Record under date Of May 8,
referring to our city assessors. Saying
that at least 10 per cent Of the voters
will not state their politics. and there
fore must loose their vote at the pri.
mary election. This article also says
that they do not understand the law.
And as l am one Of those who refused
to state my politics, take the Liberty
OF explaining why do so. l am one
of those fellows that no party owns,
and may say that belong to no
party, and would only be perjuryjng
myself when l sign an AFFIDAVIT. that l
am a Republican, or Democrat or
even Bull Mooser.
vote on general principals only.
When see good REPUBLICAN, ;hat
l think would make a COOL honest
man for the Office he mag be rum ing
for, vote for him, and the Democrat
tile same on any other party. it Is
all the same to me. It's the man that
controls my vote not the party. I
may loose my vote on primary cleo.
ton by taking this stand, but I am
not perjurylng myself. knew many
vnters who have declared their poll
tics as Republicans just to vote in the
primaries that have always been De-
mocrats. . ..a.,..
This is what call wrong, and it
don't go with me. In fact ! do not
see as many OF our candidates are
seeking Office under any other poll
tics than Republican. Where are our
Democrats? Are they ashamed Of
their politics! Why does our Demo
Gratis seek to be nominated under the
name of Republican, do they think the
Republican party is the strongest
And they want to be on the winning
side.
Why are we living under a Demo
cratic administration, why was Ex-Gov,
eruor Burke elected the third time?
Surely somebody must change their
political views between primary and
! fall elections. Stick to one party at
-, all times and you are doing a great
injustice to yourself ana country also.
If it was not for us few voters that
will not declare ourselves, or in fact
can not declare ourselves without
perjurying ourselves, there would be
only one party in the field in few
years. These 10 per cent Of voters you
speak of, you will find by investigat.
ing, stands for principles, and man;
not 1,arty. Are we right or are we
wrong? We would rather loose our
vote on primary than to perjury our
selves. Yours Respectfully,
VOTER.

BAD WEATHER.

1nere is q story Of = parish in
watch the people. In time of great
dzcusn, waited on the pastor and in.
sbeea that he pray for rain. The
cass being an urgent one the demand
wa made. not only that the prayers
for rain be offered, but that the pas.
Tar guarantee to deliver the goods.
To most men this would have been
s0nowhat embarrassing, but the ply
sician Of souls was resourceful man,
and be agreed unhesitatingly to the
conditions. He agreed to produce
rain whenever the people wanted it.
'But," he said. ''the demand must be
unanimous. Decide among yourselves
On what day you want rain, and it
WIN rain without fail on that day"
Then the people tried to get to-
Bsther on good date for a rainy day.
WAlle they all wanted rain they did
A0a oil want 1t at the same time. Each
3ay suggested was the day which had
boea set aside by some of the men,
1sEs Of the community for important
su4door events. They talked about it
IN groups, and could not agree. They
A6ld meetings about it and could not
decide. There was a marriage, or a
birthday party. or load Of hay that
Wnst be hauled, or some other impor-
tant thing to be done, and day after
3zY passed without the desired unani
MY being reached. And one day,
vAHo they were on the point of COM
Ing 70 blows over the problem, it rain
"a anyway.
Tho northwest needs rain-lots OF 1t.
Wsst q us would prefer not to have
10 rain at this particular moment.
HnEtunately for ourselves we have no
control over the situation. We cannot
oa3nGt the weather. If we are wise
10 win adjust ourselves to the wealth
a - best We can, and if we cannot
- the thing which we would like to
%. take hold of the best thing that
- b done under the circumstances
- make the best Of it.-Grand Forks

GETTING CONVICTIONS.

That M. J. Englert has been emin-
emily successful as States Attorney in
securing convictions Of criminal cases
which he has tried is evident by a
glance over the county records of the
past year since he took Office. In
all but few cases the convictions
have been obtained with but little
expense to the county, and in an I'M
usually large number of cases there
have been pleas Of guilty, the states
attorney apparently having persuad-
ed the defendants that it was bet
ter to admit their guilt in the hope
of obtaining a light sentence than
to put up an expensive fight.

Other arguments are also advanced,

THE RIGHT STAND.

Alderman Lee COMBS should be
complimented upon the stand he took
in the meeting of the city council
against spending nearly 100000 for a
bear cage, in which to keep the two
cub specimens Of the Bruin tribe
which are now in the basement Of the
City hall. It is hard to harmonic a
cut Of thousand dollars in the library
appropriation, and a reckless expendi-
ture for bear cages and dens, such
as was proposed.

WARNING,

The following notice was left with
The Times-Record Saturday, and
while the name Of the writer is not
known to us. it seems to be timely
and We are glad to give it space:
The women Of San Francisco are
determined to prevent the letting Of
portion Of the fair grounds for the
purpose Of establishing houses Of
prostitution and are doing all IN their
power to stay the evil.
However, this controversy ends, one
thing must be remembered. The vice
that sacrifices the girlhood and boy
hood Of the country, and bring con-
tamination upon innocent wives and
.hjldren-7that vi9e intends to flourish
somewhere during the worlds fair.
Let it be remembered that the
country will be secured for girls
to supply the demand Of this nefari-
GUS business, and every means that is
possible for man to conceive will be
used to snare and mislead these girls
in order to secu:e them.
livery girl should be warned against
advertisements Of positions In San
Francisco, for every place that Is
worth while will be taken and the
door that will be open for the strange
girl will be the door that leads to
perdition.
The papers that do their duty to
the girlhood Of the nation will pub
lish the warning, and women Of every
town and city who would protect the
youth Of the Land. win sound. the
alarm and caution and guard the girls
Of their neighborhood.
