 The National League is not to con ~Hne in annual meeting until tomor- -c-- The majority of the club own CTS were on hand early this afternoon prepared for what is expected to be conference of more than usual import ance. Many subjects of considerable baseball interest were discussed in an informal manner at the morning ses- sion.
 Several of the magnates expressed the opinion that there would De radi- cal changes adopted by the national league and submitted to the American League for ratification. Garry Her mann. chairman of the National Com mission, and President of the Cincin- nati club, said he advocated a world series based on the winning of five out of nine games He said he believ- ed that with the series heightened there would be greater opportunity for fans from all parts of the country to witness the play and admission charges could be lowered without les sening the aggregate receipts.
 Other magnates said that they fav- ored the idea in a general way.
 President Chas. Weeghman, of the Chicago Nationals. was among the early arrivals and there were many rumors regarding the results of his al- legged efforts to obtain a new manager for the coming season. He was re- ported to have had several conferenc- es with these club officials and the names of Fred Mitchell and George Stallings were included in the gossip, either as a sale or trade.
 Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg club. announced that he was still determined to bring about the re- moval of Garry Hermann from the rational commission if the same was possible.

of the convention in connection with

the power to rule than the present
abortive proposition.
If we are to have party govern
ment, and most thoughtful men think
we must, it must be protected. Under
the direct primary as it is in North
Dakota it is actually the case that
candidates for delegate have been
successful and will go up to shape the
policy of the national party who have
not been really voters of the party
ticket. Moreover the farmers Of the
state have reversed and practically
annulled the primary law by a series
of secret conventions coming to a
climax in a state convention whereby
they have chosen a ticket for the
primaries. All of them admit that
this is practically an annulment of
the law, but they say 1--WE couldn't
accomplish what we wanted to any
other way" Very well, then, let us
repeal or modify the present law 50

the kind ever arising in North Da-
kota, will soon come before the state
supreme court for adjudication.
The case comes from the district
court of Cavalier county and involves
the rights of ownership to land which
once was known to underlie Rush lake
but which on the drying up of the
lake, emerged from the waters and
became splendid, rich farm lands. A
mar who had land adjoining the lake
claimed by several acts and practices
that the lands belonged to him under
riparian rights.
The matter was taken into court
and District Judge Cooley stated that
the adjoining property owner should
have advantage by the accretions.
The other litigant, stating that the
land belonged to the United States,
appealed the case. Over five sections

BOYCOTT WILL BE HARMLESS

The flaming attacks of Toknley's
Socialists upon the press of the state
which has been unmasking his ma
chine have apparently had no effect.
The fact is that the American people
do not take kindly to a boycott.
They rather like newspapers which
speak the convictions of the editors,
and in declaring that the press of
the state is a "kept" press (what-
ever that means) Townley, Williams,
Thomason, Coates, Bowen and the
rest of the past masters of socialism
in charge of the propaganda have
taken in too much territory.
North Dakota was ripe for a move
ment in behalf Of the farmers to Sc
cure %congenial legislation. The agi-
tation heretofore carried on by the
Equity people had prepared the way.
Townley and his Socialist coadjutors
saw their opportunity, formed their
machine with themselves as chauf-
feurs, persuaded some farmers to
finance the start of the thing and
jumped in. But they carefully kept
control of the movement. They own
and hold the paper; apparently they
receive and cash the checks; and
possess the promissory notes given as
contributions to the cause.
Certainly, the $4,000 farmers who
contributed Sc to SO each care little
for that contribution. Many are
about due for a second years pay
ment and $4,000 or $4,000 more has
been given. But the total is a fine
sum with which to build up a publish
ing house, pay big salaries to the agi-
tators and when the thing blows over,
this printing establishment will be a
fine property-in the hands of the
Socialist bunch to continue thei,
propaganda in North Dakota. .
We always liked Eugene Debs; his
radical u%tterances are beyond oul
approval, but we know he is sincere
But Debs gets out in the open; he
doesn't form a secret machine to for,
mulate the discomfort and distrust Of
a state full of farmers and make il

PRESIDENTIAL lima
FARCE.

1t has become a conviction already,
before the presidential campaign for
nomination is half over, that the di-
rect primary has collapsed as a means
of popular selection of nominee. In
fact it is defeating popular selection.
BY limiting the names for which vot-
ers may ballot and various other de-
vices it enables men who could not
get a mention to tangle things up
and cause the selection Of a lot Of
favorite son delegations which be-
come nothing but trading stock. The
fundamental purpose of such a law
is to reduce the power of delegates
to act on the situation as they find
it to a minimum when they arrive at
the convention. This may be very
different from the situation as it ex-
listed when the delegates were chosen
by the electors.
The candidates who are now the
leading possibilities in the republi-
can party have not been voted for in
the primaries anywhere. In fact, the
problem is too complex to be set
tied by individual voters in the state
passing upon issues several months
before. It is certain that these issues
will be changed by June. What mil

The baseball diamond was being
fixed up the past week, and the
grounds for track work put into con-
dition. Mr.. Monson expects to have
the boys practicing in full earnest by
the first of the coming week. He
does not figure, however, that there
will be any representatives from the
Dickinson high school at the state
track meet at Grand Forks, to be
held in the near future.
In the baseball game Monday even
ing between the Pirates and Braves,
the victory resulted for the former,
with a score of II to Z. Breda and
Roberts acted as umpires. Batter
les for each side were: Braves
Rabe and Foster; Pirates-Hollen-
beck and Morrison. The game which
was to take place on Wednesday had
to be postponed or account of the
bad weather. A team of larger boys
has been made up in the grades and
it is the plan to have this team meet
a high school team once a week, MAX
ing two games with each team dur
ing the season. A Junior grade team

boys from the 9Th, 9TH and 9th
grades.

are putting in, extra time at MAX
ing bird houses, principally for wrens
and martins. Seven have already
been constructed and hung and three
are in the process Of making. Sew
eral prizes have been offered by local
parties for the best constructed bird
house, but since this is so near the
close of school and many Of the stud
ents are busy on such projects as
large tables, arm chairs, ETC., the
number of boys competing will not
be very great. Along with the prac-
tice gained in construction, the build
ing Of bird houses affords a wider
knowledge of nature as each bird has
different nest requirements.
