civil side, and that obligation is that
he should do everything possible to
prepare himself to render efficient SER
vice as soldier, in time of war, and
the state on it's side, should extend to
him every opportunity to so prepare
himself.
The consciousness of this obligation
will make men more valuable as citi-
zens, will give them a higher sense of
responsibility towards the state, and
will make them more conservative
with reference to war, as they will ap-
preciate fully that if war devolves up
on them it is an obligation which they
must fulfill.

a telephone message from Ellen
dale the first of the week conveyed
the sad intelligence of the death of
+. S. Goddard, editor of the Dickey
County Leader, and one of the earli-
est and best known newspaper men
OF the state. Mr.. Goddard had
been in bad health for several
months and the newspaper had been
under the charge of his son, Her
bert. At the recent meeting of the
North Dakota Press Association at
Fargo "tne boys" called Mr.. God
dard up over the 'phone to offer gym
path'"s and best wishes and also sent
him flowers. 1t will be sad blow
to the newspaper fraternity to hear
of Mr.. Goddard's death and the peo-
pie of Glendale and .Dickey county
have suffered a deep loss in the
death of their newspaper man. He
was close friend of Mrs. Streeter's
parents and the writer's sister-in-
law was at one time an employee in
his office.

e,o~ssR PAPER OF TIE COUNTY

When the recent session of the leg
islature was over it was found that
only one of the new laws had legal
emergency clause attached, and that
was the budget. Many other mea-
sures carried the usual provision to
the effect that Whereas, an emer-
gency is declar ed to exist. the same
shall be in effect upon its passage
and approval"
Under the old law such an emer.
gency clause as part of the bill
was binding and the same became
effective Immediately upon being
passed by both houses and signed by
the governor.
A few years years ago an initia-
tive and referendum measure was
passed which later went before the
voters of the state and adopted. This
provided that certain number of
signers to petitions could hold up
any law passed by the legislature
for period of two years unless the
same carried acknowledgement

Herewith we present a letter from

Herewith we present q letter from
R. f. Flint. commissioner Of agri.
culture and labor. 1t carries some
suggestions that are mighty valu-
able to the people Of this state. II
a real campaign along the lines
mapped out receives the help and
support Of all the people Of the
state such an advertising campaign
ing for settlers as was never before
known would be the result.
If every reader Of this paper will
sit down and write few letters to
his former home, its people and its
newspapers, and will tell all his
neighbors to do the same thing. the
cost will be but few cents for
postage and when the thousands Of
people OF the state have taken it up,
millions of personal appeals for set
tiers will be the result. Immediate
ly following that campaign will come
the organized efforts of the state.
Every county in the state and every
community in the county will exper-
fence the prosperity arising from
added settlers and the few cents
spent in postage will have returned
hundreds of times in increased land
values. Be your own immigration
J agent. 1t will be the surest and east.

and the state at large. Following

today. There is just one difference:
Publicity. II a man has plenty of
money or q striking "monicker" he
stands a pretty good show in state
politics regardless of his ability of
personal worth as a candidate. It
is little short of absurd to expect
the rank and file of the state to vote
iptelligently for state candidates
whom they have never seen and of
whom shey know little or moth
ing. A striking example of this
fact is seen in the returns on an Of
flee for which there are several as
pirants. The name at the head of
the list stands the best chance. 1t
is up to the voter to vote-and ne
does. He simply makes grand
swipe at the state ticket and trusts
to luck that the man for whom he
voted can speak English. is not the
member of a crew of safe-blowers or
the inmate of an insane.asylum.
But. from the point of intelligent
F, voting. there is nothing toit.
Under the old system certain
number Of dele gates were chosen
from each county. met at given
place aid got down to the business
of picking candidates. If there was
! dishonesty it must come from the
fact that the people back home"
had chosen dishonest delegates. At
least. the delegates were enabled to
inform themselves to some extent as
to the merits and dement's of the
candidates. They met them, mixed
with them and had an idea what
sort of sentiment prevailed among
men from other parts of the state.
Our state legislature is similar tt
convention with the distinction
, that one body had to do with choos
ing candidates for Office and thu
other with laws to govern the state
1t would be some government i.
laws we're made wholly and entirel,
by direct vote of the people in thu
same "hoi.y-toity" manner as uset
in the choosing of officials. If sucl
system is practical in choosing tn
laws which govern US, why not il
choosing the men who put thos
laws into effect?
j. The fact of the matter is tina
i. some change must be made in tn
9 near future. A combination of tn
S convention system with the idea o
g the primary should be the result. |
