mEArnG. UP THE PRIMARIES.

In North Dakota at the recent pn-
mary election a pretty fair job of
cleaning up the primaries was done,
despite the unfavorable weather con-
ditions and the consequent light vote.
The assertion has been made that
the defeat Of the Townley machine in
both parties was due to the fact that
an unusually light vote was polled
in the rural districts. The exact facts
~ to this, of course, cannot be known,
but it ID worthy of note that the anti
Toynley maiorfhes which were report
ed on the day after Ielection, were
based almost entirely on the city and
village vote, have been consistently
maintained b the returns from the
country precincts filtered in. The In
ference, therefore, is that the rural
districts have determined to throw
off the Townley incubus xnd TO run
their politics Is they run their BUSH
.nea. on their own responsibility and
in their ovA way.
Another primary 10 coming, and a
desperate effort viii be made by the
,Townley managers to ecover from
the blow WHICH has been administered
by the farmers and business people OF
the state. and It may g we'll he ms

These suggestions are offered just
now because certain men who have
become quite widely and unfavo.ably
known r just now engaged in the
promotion of cooperative merchan-

Grand Forks the other day in the in

that a different man wa not chosen

"KEEp THE RAILROADS"

Keep the railroads. The people
have bought and paid for them twicd
over. The people should own and
operate them"
This is the title of a petition re-
quessing government ownership of the
railroads, which has travelled through
thirty-eight states and bears lhous-
ands upon thousands of signatures,
presented to the House of Represen-
tatives by Congressman James H. Sin
clair of North Dakota. Most of the
signatures were obtained in the West.
The following statement is set
forth in the petition:
vested more than 100000, 900 in re-
hab.titating the railway system that
private ownership has SO exploited
and plundered and mismanaged that
it was utterly inadequate.
"Thepeople have invested another
1916, 900, 5000 in improving labor
conditions and pulling the railroads
out of an impossible situation that
private ownership had created.
'"The government has rehabilitat-
ed the dilapidated system, unified it,
effected numerous economics and
guaranteed the private owners their
usual dividends. And yet they are not
satisfied. They want the railroads
back again for further exploitation
and plumber. We protest. Fix.

annual report to be presented to the
board of educat ton at its meeting this
afternoon declares that future plans
should look forward to establishment
of additional schools and to the great
err use of such schools to relieve pres
sure upon our high schools as well as
affording broader educational oppor-
tunities to the elementary school
pupils.
"There is an immediate need for the
standardizing of qualification for
teachers in the junior high schools
and an eligible list of teachers should
be established by the board Of exam
iners," said the report. Il recommend
that authorization be sought for such
a salary basis for these teachers that
teachers will be encouraged to pre-
pare themselves for work in these
schools"

A portion of Mr.. Kramer's report is
devoted to activities of the High
School Cadet Corps, which is in his
charge. He expresses the opinion that
there should be in the white high
schools at least three instructors in
charge of cadet activities. These in

one to Central High School, one to
Mckinley High School and another to
Eastern and Western High schools.
Mr.. Kramer asserted that much new
classroom equipment is vitality needed.
Much of the furniture now in use, he
stated, is very old, some of it dating
back forty years or more. 1T is my

to secure series of appropriations
extending over period of three
years, which will make it possible to
replace a considerable portion of our

The Teacher Problem.
Maintenance of an adequate teaching
force, Mr.. Kramer declared. was his
outstanding problem during the year.
Not only have the changes in per-
sonnet been numerous" he said, but
the large increase in enrolment has
necessitated constant efforts to effect
an organization which would be the
most effective for the proper teaching
of our pupils.

proper publicity in regard to our
needs, and by the unremitting labors

nounced he had arranged with Su
preme Court Justice Hotchkiss to
have the date OF argument on the
injunction restraining the commit
tee from irnpounding the records Of

the injunction the committees in
vestigation of the bureau will be
blocked.
Under cross-examination, Treat tes-
titled that the dealers association in
1919 expunged from it's bylaws sec
tions providing that member dealers
in mason supplies agree to buy their
materials from member manufacturers
of brick. rosendale cement. Portland
cement, lime, lath and plaster.
Under the provision the manufac-
turers also agreed to sell only to the
dealers in the association. Member rs
of the association who violated the
bylaws were liable to fines or ex-

cations books and records with him,
