M OPFPICIAL COUNTY AND. orrr mmtl -~ ;. THE NEW PRIMARY LAW The law under which the election for the ham- ing of delegates to the county convention, ‘Where delegates: to, the “state’ nominating convention are named, was used in anesou for the first time, last month. Thq last legislature, Zeeling that @buses had grosn up as a result.of the nonpartisan direct - primary system, attempted to bring about:a bethr state of affairs and to once again estnblxsh party responsibility. The law, as finally. yafiued was-a make-shift affair, patched toxether after other bills had been displaced. v ik That the present system is far irom bemg per- fect -is pretty generally admitted, and: it seems probable that amendments will be offered’ at’the next legislature. As the law now operates, an as- piring candidate feels that he must mfie a cam. paign, first for delegates to the county convention, then with the delegates to the state convention, and if “endorsed” he must then go out in the' Jopen field and carry on a campaign to win the nammn- tion at the primary election in June—and jt he does win, he then is ready.to go before the:peaple and fight for election at the general election. Does it make it tough for a poor nan to’be elects ed to office in Minnesota? We'll say' it does.” And 8o will ‘the candidates. Another weakness of the present law & that the voters have to-*“go it blind” when: casting:their ballots for ‘delegates to the county' convention. There is. no way of designating for whom, orfor what, the proposed delegates stand. As-a result, only a fraction of the.usual yote is cast,and there is no’ general expression of public opinion.. 'In aneapohs there was one precmct where three election judges were paid good money t6 be on the Job’all day and just one ballot was cast. In\many precinets throughout the state the vote was so.light that the ballots cast cost the taxpayerx at lent a That the present law was a start in the rlght di- Taction is true enough, but that it was only.a start and that it didn't get very far.is just as true. +'The present arrangement is all-right; except that § 3 MILITARY -TRAINING There has been a good deal of discussion,.pro and con—a lot' of it has been con—in regard to Friends ‘of such training: say it ‘works' for'disci- pline (sadly needed), for a better phyucal condi- tidn and a more alert mentalityy vOpponenu see in these: drills the harbinger of coming .wars; the creation of a blood and thunder spirit in the pupils that will cause them to yearn for_the ruthlessness of battle and cannon’s. rattle. “Ppiffle,” rejoin the adherents, “as perfect piffle as the hue and ery against the' Boy Scout move- ment, a muvement, that has .done more for clean, courteous, compatent boyhood than:anything ever before attempted.”’ When a board of education encounters opposi- “tion to military. training in the schools, it can find plenty of evidence iin favor })y principals in schools where it is being given. It is pointed out,that the i object -of ‘training is not to make soldler{ but to use some of the elements, of soldiership to: fit boys for the work of life. The training becomes an incentive to the buys in their other'studies. Principdls are uniformly in favor of it and tem- mony - of “parents,. whose sons take the training, endorse! it.

What do you think of Editor, Bemidji Pioneer:— We :read wnh interest Mr. Opsahl’s lppell for retrenchments in the expendm:res of the county. This seems to us to be very timely. and necessary in .some directions, but as far:as ‘Ditch No. 37 is eoncerned, if I, am_not mistaken: the land al those ,ditches have been sold for ditch taxes;’ to fail to construct the -ditch under such circum= stances would be an act of pure fraud on the part of the county, and.I am mclined to think the parties who purchned bb; Jand conldtfnrce the county to . keep-its: part ofthe agreement. . i B}zn. thp;ra 'e many other ways ‘XWhieh " thm county. could:” make savings without - hindering- ass—for instancé: ‘every time there:is the sllgflen thing\»the county: wants done, up;in this, neck of the woods, they. Send ‘some. onie. clear from Kelliher, and ofwn from Bemidji, to do'it: As an example - of this extravagance: Only a few days */ago; two men came all the way from Kelliher with & livery rig to post notices for a ‘hearing on Ditch No. 3?.’ ghnsepnotlcel could have been mailed to most any of the settlers:here, and: could have been osted properly for not rnore t an' $3.00. Whereas, it cost the county. probably te imes that amount. Things like that are confinunlfy ukmg place and no effort is made, to save coets or to economlze in any way. .
