ABIDING BY THE RESULT.

Mr.. McCumber is not required to abide by THE
result of the Jamestown convention if that conven-
ton should decide to endorse some other man for
the senatorship.
Senator McCumber has refused to abide by the
of the convention. Neither is he red uired
to submit his case to it in any way. But, inasmuch
as he intends to accept the decision of the conven-
ton only if it is what he wants it to be, he would
occupy a more dignifed position if he had ignored
the convention entirely. He prefers to play the game
on the basis of "heads l win, tails you lose"
AS to the obligation of anybody else to abide by
the decisions of the convention, there is something
to be said about that. This convention is a body
representing the Republicans of the state who have
associated themselves primarily for the rescue :ot
the state from the clutches of vandals, Missionaries
and experirnentcrs. They have sought to, restore the
constitution of the state sto the place which it was
intended to occupy, and to secure the application of
sound business principles in all matters Of state gov
eminent. The state convention, if it is accurately
representative Of the sentiments of the voters whose
conception of citizenship provides the basis for its
existence, is composed Of men who arc i'll accord
with the principles and policies for the promotion OF
which the organization exists. Suppose Mr.. Town
ley or MIR. Lemkc should present themselves as
delegates to that convention. They would not be
seated, not because their credentials might not be
regular, but because they do not belong. They are
out of sympathy with everything that is represented
by the convention.
Suppose one Of these men should ask for the
endorsement of the convention for the senatorship,
and that by careful and skillful attention to pri1n-
aries and local conventions they controlled a ma
jority Of the delegates and should actually receive
formal endorsement. What would be the duty of
the rest of the delegates Obviously it would be to
%repudiatc the action taken and the people who
took it.
Mr.. McCumber has no more place in the con-
%vention than have Townley and Lemke. On the
issues which confront the people of this state the
differences between these men is one of degree and
not of kind. The convention which would endorse
McCumber is not the kind of convention in which
Independent Republicans belong. !

Saloon And Cabaret
Life In Juarez Is
Almost Americanized

Ell Paso, Tcxas-Saloon and cabaret
life in Juarez, just across the Rio

thoroughly Americanized, that is. it
has taken on customs of places OF

Volstead days; but h inroads oe

In a saloon on the American side
Of the main street in Juarez there is
an orchestra of the most-highly de-t
velopcd jazz type, the kind which has
a drummer who knocks on tin Cans,

A FARCICAL ELECTION.

In the school election of Monday fifty nine per-
sons out of a total of more than three thousand in
the four wards interested presented themselves at
the polls and voted for members Of the Board of
Education to serve for the ensuing two years.
That may be Interpreted as evidence that the
people of Grand Forks take little interest in their
school affairs. If that Interpretation is correct we
have d situation in which no group of people can
point the finger at another, for the lnditterenCe-lt it
is indi1erence-is general, involving merchants and
mechanics, lawyers and doctors, parents ofNchildren
and those who are not parents, church people and
those outside of the churches-every group in the
community.
That interpretation, however, is not correct.
There may be too much indifference, but failure to
turn out and vote is not necessarily evidence of it.
We have on several occasions turned out in goodly
numbers when there were real issues to be deter
mined by our votes. On this occasion no issue pre-
sented itself, hence the light vote. 1t was known
that the board members whose terms expire this
year were all candidates for reelection, and were
unopposed. The assumption was that they would
all be elected. and, this being satisfactory to the
public, the subject was forgotten.
It. would have been possible for some mischief
maker to arrange with a handful Of his friends in
each ward for the casting of a little bunch of votes
in each ward in favor of some unknown and utterly
unfit candidate. Any ward politician could have
engineered such a plan and carried it out. The
votes could have been cast in each precinct lust be-
fore the close of the polls, and it would have been
too late to take any measures to offset them. An
average of about seven votes per precinct would
have turned the trick. In one ward two votes would
have been sufficient.
The only reason why this was not done was that
nobody cared to try it. The opportunity was there,
as it is at every election where there are no con-
tests. The remedy is plain. Require all names to
be printed on the ballots, and if only one candidate
appears tor a place, issue a certificate to that person
without the formality OF an election at all.

THE YEARAL

1t may be that a reform in the calendar is near
er than most people have supposed. The proposed
calendar, with its thirteen months of % days each.
has been endorsed by a few governments, and it is
expected to receive the approval of the international
Conference of Astronomers which meets in Rome
this month. 1t is realized that the change would
meet with great opposition from persons who have
a sort of superstitious regard for things as they are.
But men made the original calendar, men have
t1nkered it from time to time, and it is within the
province of man to discard it and substitute another
whenever he can devise another that suits him bet
ter.
Under the proposed plan the wear would be d.
v'ded into thirteen months of 20 days each, the odd
day being provided for by having New Years dav a
separate day, not belonging to any week or month.
In leap year a similar extra day would be introduced
between two of the summer months. One great ad-
vantage would be the harnonizing OF the weeks and
months. Every month would begin on Sunday and
end on Saturday, year after year. Any given date
would fall on the same day of the week always.
There would be a complication in that the ex-
ira day at the first of the year would throw the
occurrence of Sunday out of gear. Those who in
slst on literalness in the observance of the seventh
day would object. They would be reminded that if
one OF them were to travel round the world east
ward, and another westward, while a third remained
at home, on their return they would find the same
day Saturday to one, Sunday to another, and Mon
day to another. But, as comparatively few people
travel that way, the force of that argument might be
lost
