BAD ELECTION WEATHER

Weather and roads were about as. bad as they
could be fore yesterdays election. The returns are
necessarily slow, and it is quite impossible to tell
at this time how the total vote compares with that
cast at the primary. The primary vote was smaller
than it should have been, and had Tuesdays con-
.ditions been favorable the June vote would have
been largely exceeded. Reports from some -of4the
rural precincts early yesterday indicated that a
reasonably fullfvote was being polled in spiteof the
adverse conditions, the voters wallowing through
the mud as best they could. a@lrai4" 81
Whatever heroic efforts may. have been made by
voters to get to the. polls, the vote is necessarily
much smaller than it would have been with good
weather. How that fact will affect the result it is
impossible at this time to say. But whatever the
returns show, it is unfortunate that the vote could
not have been larger. 1t was hoped that the cleo
ton would have been won on it's merits, and with
such a complete representation of the population at
the polls that there Gould be no doubt as to the de-
cision that the people of North Dakota actually in
tended. With a considerable proportion of the
voters remaining at home the intent of the public
is always left a matter of controversy. Those who
are apt to maintain that the vote actually cast
was a fair representation of popular sentiment, while
those who lose can always find a basis for the oppo-
site claim. -
Fortunately weather conditions are beyond hui
man control, and the conditions which confronted
the voters on this occasion cannot be charged up to
any political party OF faction. =

ELEcT1oNDAY AND THE SCHOOLS

Among the days enumerated as legal holidays
are those days on which elections are held through
out the state. Court decisions establish the fact
that this applies to general state elections, and not
to local or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., notwithstanding the
fact that all the municipalities in the state might
hold their elections on the same day. The Statute
provides that no school shall be taught on a legal
holiday, special provision being made, however, for
school sessions on Lincoln's birthday, Washington's
birthday and Memorial day, with exercises. appro-
pirate to those occasions.
The inclusion of election day among the legal
holidays seems to date back to the territorial law of
1885. Its application to the school runs back to
1897, and perhaps to an earlier date. That there
should be a general suspension of official business
on election day is quite in keeping with the purposes
of the day. The school law on holidays was formu-
lated for the purpose of designating those days on
affecting their compensation. 1t is quite clear that
ence. There is no sound reason why schools should
not be open, why pupils should not study their les
sons, why teachers should not perform their duties
on election day just as on any other day. Election
day is in no way related to the work of the schools.
Pupils, if released on that day, cannot participate
in any way in the Iof the election. They
cannot be around the polling places, and would not
be permitted there if they appeared. There are no
public meetings to attend, and, if the schools are not
in session, these children must merely be turned
loose to run at large.
The law should be changed SO as to comply with
the requirements of good sense. Schools should
remain in session on election.day, just as on other
days, except where, as in many of the rural districts.
it is necessary to use the school house as a polling
place r.

fresh troops from Paris almost to the

French left wing was seriously threat

too old to fight, were conscripted as
they drove along the streets. Their

NOW THAT IT'S V E

Now that it's all over, isn't there something to
be Just a little ashamed Of?
The election 81 local candidates involved chief
ly matters of personal preference, and in most cases
the candidate and his preference on individual
grounds: The handling of the work in the county
offices, for instance, is not of a character which
lends itself to the formulation of policies or to the
creation Of lines Of cleavage along partisan lines.
The contests for state and national offices were
of a different character. In the election of state
candidates. the voters were supposed to be declaring
themselves not for or against particular individuals,
but for or against certain lines of policy in the hand
ling ofSthe affairs Of the state, and, in theory, at
least, the attitude Of the candidates. on those issues
governed. Because of peculiar conditions-surround-
ing this campaign theicontest for United States SEN
ator reYolyed around the same issues. The person
sality of the candidates was secondary.
ss@ The attitude Of the candidates on these govern
ing issues was the thing on which sit was supposed
that the election should be decided. Those issues,
md the position which the candidates took with
sYeeferenec 10 them, were legitimate subjects Of de-
bate. IL was proper that sthessvoter should take 4
lively interest n these things, should form definite
ooanclnsionssw with reference 70 them and should de-

CANCER.

W. are learning a lot about cancer
If the people will only keep inter.
ested, the disease presently will come

In the first place, the people must
become interested, and their interest
must persist. :
Bloodgood properly says: Better
results in breast lancer can only be
accomplished through publicity"
For M thing. the people must
have IN understanding of what
SHOULD cause suspicion of cancer, of
the way to go about learning the
truth, and Of the durability Of cancer
when promptly recognized and
promptly and properly cared for.

profession must learn about cancer
Again. we quote Bloodgood's state
far more frequently cured if surgeons
knew how to recognize cancer by its
feel and its appearance, as well as
they know how to operate on it."
To illustrate again, see the large
number of physicians who wait for
the development Of pain before they
will make a diagnosis Of cancer.
And. in the third place. we must
keep up the research work.

We will not find the cure for. cancer
until we have used millions Of ami

NEW ZEALAND PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Socialists have often pointed to New Zealand as
an illustration of public ownership in it's advanced
stages operating in a completely successful and
benefcient manner, and opponents of public owner
ship have often cited that dominion as a horrible
example of public ownership at its worst. Neither
(of these estimates is correct, according to w, D..
Boyce, the Chicago publisher and traveller, who has
just given the results of three months travel, and
observation in the southern commonwealth in a
new book entitled illustrated Australia and New
& @
Mr.. Boycc, who, by the way, once published a
weekly paper at Lisbon, N. D., is a shrewd and prac-
teal business man who has travelled about the world
with his eyes open, and his are the re-
suit of an intelligent examination of facts. He finds
that in New Zealand, "the postoffice, railroads, tele-
graphs and telephones are the only completely gov
ernment-owned, controlled and; operated businesses
in the country" This, he says, is because they are
natural monopolies, and the purpose is to operate
them as national monopolies to reduce costs. He
described what he terms the three shining examples
of businesses into which the government has gone
into competition with private business. These are
the public trust business, life insurance and fire in
surance. In each of these lines of business private
companies still operate and realize profits. The fact
that private companies are able to compete with the
government I'M these lines, and to maintain their
ground, RECEIVING their share of public patronage,
and making sufficient profits to. render the business
attractive to the owners, demonstrates that most Of
the claims made on behalf Of the government-owned
method Of doing business are fictitious, otherwise
the superior advantages of governments service
would long since have driven the, private c~onceGns
out of the field.
It appears, too, that those in charge Of the gov
lernment activities in New Zealand have alconcep-
Ition Of the business necessities of the case which has
mot yet been reached by our American socialists.
The one outstanding feature Of the entire Socialist
communist movement in the United States is the
utter lack Of business capacity Of the leaders Of the
movement. New Zealand has apparently il charge
