The primary law seems to bother lot
Of folks, some who ought to know bet
ter, but who are in truth very thinly
vanished progressives. The relics of
the old gang days, ofcourse, don It like
primaries, never did and never will.
The primary law is not perfect, and
abuses creep in, often the right men
stay home and the weak, the corrupt or
the incompetent are sent to the legis-
lature, but not withstanding this, it is
UNNECESSARILY superior to the old meth
cd. If the people do not use it
rightly, it is their own mistake, and it
ought to be one of the rights Of the
people to make their own mistakes.
Mistakes are mostly made because the
voters have not known the facts always
Some day there will be recognition
Of the essential Importance to the state
of candidates for nomination as we'll
as nominee for office, and means will
be provided for publicity. The state
should bear, within a reasonable limit,
the expense of candidates, at any rate
to the extent that publicity as to re-
cord and policies may be placed in the
hands of every voter. Take the matter
of legislation. How many papers give
a fair unprecedented account of the
proceedings in the legislature,
the pros and cons of, bills, with
an impartial statement Of the argu-
ments on both sides. Sometimes there
is a bill of unusual Importance, contain
ing dangerous joker, which slips
through, and then there is a howl.
Proper publicity and understanding
would have prevented it. Not one man
in ten thousand gets any knowledge
of the important legislation in congress
in it's details and it's bearings, till after
it has been enacted, and not always
1hen.

There would he no kindness in put
ting an inexperienced soldier on wild
land, needing great lot Of hard work
to clear, even if the land were sold very
cheap and on long time. Not every
body can make a farmer. There is no
universal panecea in land. If there
were, we should all be farmers. Elk
pericnce has shown that men without
knowledge in agricultural matters,
whose training has been in other lines,
have a hard time making a success of
farming, unless having a special ability
and pull toward tilling the soil. If any
great number Of soldiers are going to
60 OIL wild land, the state should help to
clear the land, through itself or con-
Germs operating on a large scale.
Above all, the soldier should not be
come the prey Of land spectators.
First of all there will be necessary
the desire to go on the land, and then
the securing Of suitable land, and help
to get it cleared and cultivated.
There is much more to the matter than
simply putting the soldier and the land
face to face.

Milaca Times-The Richards primary
law has been adopted by the voters OF
South Dakota at the recent election,
in spite Of the fact that all of the old
political leaders fought it. The law pro-
vides machinery for getting the public
sentiment expressed when candidates
are nominated and elected. One pro-
vision Of the law requires that candi-
dates must meet each other on the pub
lie platform and debate the paramount
issues before the people. This will pre-
vent candidates from lodging issues,
and getting into office merely by cir
culating lies about their opponents.

but life has taught him much. There

National Committeeman Lynch an
nounces that he will not be candidate
for reelection. There is plenty of good
timber for this important posi-
ton, which should be filled by someone
able to rise above faction and be fair.
The presidential candidates. will have
much to do with the matter, as they
have in the past. If there are several
aspirants for the democratic nonina-
ton, as is likely if President Wilson
is not in the field, the candidate who
gets the delegation from this state will
also get friend as committeeman. This
does not always happen, but is likely.
What is to be hoped is that the choice
will mean unity and progress. 1t is
about time for the democratic party
in Minnesota to really mean something.

President Wilson has asked all Amer
leans to rally generously to the support
of the Committee for Relief in the Near
East, whose campaign comes January
1919.
The need is urgent. Four million refu-
gee women and children, the victims of
Turkish lust and brutality, are starving
and dying.
There is only one possible source of
help-America. The other nations of
the world can scarce bind up their
wounds. Upon what we do-you and T.
depend the lives of these millions of
helpless women and children. They
must not perish-they shall not perish.
The government has asked the Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East to
undertake the rescue work among the
victims Of Turkish oppression. During
the past year the committee has cared
fol- over 100000 refugees who otherwise
would have perished
There are now 100000 dependent
upon the committee for relief. OF this
number 100000 are children, many of
them little more than babies, whose par
ents have died Of privation or been
murdered by the Turk.
To carry on this work a minimum Of
$50, 100000 is needed Immediately.

The Fairmont Sentinel suggests Ma
jor Nelson, former editor of that paper,
as q good democratic candidate for
governor next year. Major Nelson is an
able newspaper man, a fine soldier, and
good citizen, and the suggestion has
much merit. His name, also, is by no
means against him, although he is in all
ways true American. It is, however,
quite a long time to 1920 and much may
happen. What the legislature does will
have much to do with the possibilities
Of League candidate next year. That
is an unknown quantity. The president
ial contest, too, will have considerable
bearing on the situation. There will be
no dearth Of democratic candidates if
conditions are favorable. For instance,
Judge Nye, who is serving so accept
ably in France, might be considered,
and there are others.

HIGHNdIN1DED MEM

Fl Little Falls Herald------The governor =
disappointment Of r. w. Wheelock on
the state board Of control is a merited
recognition of faithful and valuable
service, and follows the precedent set
by Governor Hammond and the present
governor in the reappointments Of G. E.
Vasaly and G. J. Swendsen. It is gen
orally conceded that the board in per
sonnet and in the work it is doing,
fulfills the best traditions Of public
service:
Martin County Sentinel-Most cor;
daily does the Sentinel endorse every
word of the above. The Minnesota
Board Of Control is composed Of men OF
the very highest character. They have
a sacred trust to administer, involving
the welfare and happiness of thousands
of God s most pitiable and unfortunate
creatures. Many Of these are degener-
ates, who have never been taught to
distinguish right from wrong. They
need lessons of kindness from men with
sympathetic natures, and that is just
what they receive at the hands Of
Vasaly, Swendsen and Wheelock. The
last legislature had such unlimited con-
fidence in the honesty and ability of the
board that it practically adopted all it's
recommendations, involving the expend-
iture of millions of dollars, WITHOUT
changing a syllable or line. The stakS is
fortunate in having such men in pos
itions of such tremendous Importance,
and it is hoped time will never come
when politics will interfere with the
tenure of office Of any one of the three
now holding office under appointment of
the governor. ~;
