A WORKABLE PRIMARY LAW.

Imperfect as the present Minnesota
direct primary system is, bad as it's

In numerous elections, The Journal

seems to think-advocate sweeping it
all away, and returning to the old
regime Of packed caucuses and boss.
controlled conventions.
tenn, nor the one that has supplanted
it., brings about majority rule. Both
have brought about, though in differ
ent ways, the rule Of minorities and
the domination of self-seeking poll
ticians.
What Minnesota needs is a prim-
ary law along the lines of the pro-
gressive Iowa lava combination of
direct primary and convention in such
a way as to guard against the recog.
nized evils of either, and to secure
large part Of the recognized benefits
of both.
Under the Iowa law delegates to
county conventions for each party are
elected in the primary. These con.
ventions select the candidates for Of
fee only in cases where no candidate
has secured at least thirty-five per
cent Of the whole party vote. They
also select delegates to district and
State conventions, which in turn per-
form q similar service for their re-
spective political units, by making
choice where none was made in the
primary. The same minimum of thir.
ty-five per cent to nominate is re-
quired. All conventions are restrict
ed in their nominations to candidates
voted on in the primary, dark horses
being barred.
Provision is also made for the elec-
ton of party ommittees-county, dis
trict and Stately these conventions,
so that the party organization is kept
up, party principles are enunciated
and maintained, and party campaigns
are pressed, but all in a truly repre-
sentative way, and without giving
bosses and political grafters opportun.
ity to ply their trade.
The Iowa law, in brief, provides
for Termination conventions after,
instead Of before, the primary, and
guards their organization against
abuse. And it perpetuates the prin.
ciple Of government by parties, which
is essential in any successful democ-
racy.
The Minnesota primary system has
had long trial. Judged by it's re-
suits, it is a failure. The Legislature
should now take up the work Of saw.
ing what is good in it, and combining
with that supplementary convention
system properly safeguarded.
The great desirability of shorter
ballot, especially In State elections
also suggests that the filling up of the
tickets after two or three important
places have been filed in the prim
ary, should be confided to the con
ventions.

ary may be made q workable device

mary because it is COuched In friendly
terms. This article no doubt reflects
the ideas of the old-time party work
ers who have felt that they have been
traversing the quicksands of uncer-
tainty since the direct primary was
devised, including as we'll many Of the
latter-day progressives who are look
ing for personal recognition which
they fear hard-hearted citizenship is
not sufficiently intelligent to grant
them. We believe that the changes
suggested in the law would inevitably
lead back to boss control and to the
peculiar dual party control Of public
affairs to which our former system
tended.
In the recent article in the Journal,
which was extensively copied by the
state press and with which the Will.
mar Tribune took issue, it was cynic-
ally stated that the primary was the
chosen instrument of the self-seeker
and the promoter of class, nationality
and religious feuds, and that the mul-
tiplicity Of candidates make it diff
cult to secure majoritycandidate. 70
this we replied that the self-seeking
politician and jockey politics are not
peculiar to the direct primary, but that
the latter simply forces them out into
the open where all can see them,
whereas under the legalized conven.
ton system the work was done by
wire-pullers in the dark who dictated
such terms as best suited their own
ends. The Journal states that it does
not wish to return to the old regina,
but thinks caucuses and conventions
can be safe guarded by law.
The difference between boss control
and legitimate leadership is generally
difficult to define very precisely. Cen
orally the leader who is Tin" is de-
nounced as a boss" by the States
men" who are on the outside. The
popular conception of boss is one
who seeks to dominate for the pat
ronage such control gives him to use
for his own selfish ends, while a
statesman uses his position in the first
hand to promote the principles to
which he is devoted. The boss in the
bad sense is impossible without spec"
ial privileges granted him by law.
Without legalized conventions and
party names patented by law the pol
itical boss dies natural death. The
question remains whether political
leadership in the better sense needs
the same legal protection. We con
tend that it does not. Further, we
contend that the political party whict
cannot exist without a special patent
right or franchise granted by law il
not worthy of the name. The compel
ing principle which brings forth the

DIscoUNTING THE FUTURE.

Ask the preparationist, why this
sudden zeal for great armament and
compulsory military service, and he
answers: Because the world has
changed, new conditions confront us,
and the old methods of meeting them
are inadequate. But how has he ar
rived at this conclusion? Granted that
new conditions are coming, what rea-
son has he for supposing the results
he predicts will follow? He sees half
the world war-mad, and civilized ma
tons flying at each others Threats.
Treaties are ruthlessly broken, inter-
national law is disregarded, and the
common humanities trampled under
foot; hence, the conclusion is that we
can live in this mad world only by
accommodating sufficient force to over
come the other mad men. Men are
calmly saying, This country will have
to fight the victor in the present war;"
assumptions? Persons who have Wis
tied the warning countries testify that
the people are sick Of the war. And
while they are willing to continue
these heroic sacrifices in order to
maintain their national independence,
they long for the coming Of peace.
Those who have followed the discus
sions in labor papers and noted the
opinions of labor leaders in Europe
must know that even in spite Of this
patriotic enthusiasm that has swept
so many Of their men into the armies,
they are daily growing more restless
under present conditions; and they
are continuing their support Of the
war only on the understanding that
real democracy is to prevail at the
conclusion of hostiities. Why sup.
pose that militarism rather than pacif-
ism will spread over the world at the
conclusion of the war? Why infer that
the victorious nations will wish q war
with US, rather than that all will de-
sire peace? Why suppose that the
people will become enamored of war,
rather than sickened by it? It is
quite clear that no one among US can
say for certain just what conditions
will follow the war. And since even
if the worst that is imagined by the
preparationists should come about, the
military plans proposed by the Prest-
dent could not be carried into effect
within five years, why not wait little
longer, and see what the result will
be? There are good reasons for be-
lieving that the nations will be dis
gusted with war. But II, at the con-
clusion of the war, they should be on
the point Of agreeing to disarmament,
and should see the weaHhiest nation
i'm the world entering upon a great
military program, what will be the
effect upon them? To enter this war,
or to begin at this time the amassing
Of great armament for future war,
is not merely political blunder; 1t

NORWEGIAN PEOPLE,
Literary Review Of the New Work
Just Published Regarding
Tia AaHaA

Literary Review Of the New Work
Just Published Regarding
the Morse.
With commendable promptness the
Wilmar Public Library announces
that Gjerset's new historical work
has been purchased and is available
to the patrons. There is a trend of
the day to bring out in the language
of the land in the form of original
composition as we'll as translation,
many Scandinavian subjects, and our
library at Willmar should make them
available to the people of our city and
county. The editor of the Literary
Digest reviews Prof. Gjerset's work
as follows:
[Gjerset, Knut. History of the
Norwegian People" T wo vol.
umes. With many illustrations.
York. The Macmillan Company.
So per set.]
Norway's history has a halo Of
grandiose romance. Epic deeds Of
vikings and daring exploits Of hardy
Morse sailors are familiar in poetry
and song. Longfellow and Wagner
found there a mine. The historian,
following in the wake of the poet,
has been even more richly rewarded.
In these two volumes by the Heidel-
berg scholar, Knut Gjerset, now pro.
lessor Of Norwegian language, litera-
ture and history in Luther College, De-
corah, Iowa, we have the most recent
attempt to present in readable form
and according to the modern canons
Of history, the story Of Norway and
it's people.
What gives Professor Gjerset's VOL
umes distinction and unique interest
is the fact that, while rendering full
Justice to the heroic and romantic
phases Of Norwegian history, he has
succeeded in making clear what was
not so generally known, tho quite
as important and interesting. With a
fullness Of detail and of illustration
hitherto uninterrupted in popular
treatise, he presents aSviVid picture
of the role played by Norway in the
spiritual and intellectual destinies of
the race. AS we pursue the story a
new conception dawns upon us. The
unity of Scandinavian countries and
the highly important influences which
they exercised in the past upon the
rest Of Europe.
The Scandinavian peoples were in
the Middle Ages, he asserts, potent
in developing navigation, commerce,
municipal life and government, litera-
ture and culture in northern Europe.
Commerce reached high development
in Norway in very early times. The
celebrated viking expeditions were
something more than romantic; they
developed new trade routes. The
Norsemen became clever merchants
as we'll as able seamen and bold war.
riors. The occupation Of merchant
was highly esteemed in their country.
