There was every reason to hope that in a fair fight, without any undue odds on ether side, the Townleyites would have been given their just de- serts by the people of Dakota, but the ele- ments, which make a mess of things now and then, came along and interfered, probably with the best intentions in the world, and now Mr. Townley has _ an excellent alibi with which to keep up the cour- age of his followers for the June primaries.. North Dakotans who have been fighting Town- leyism for the last four years must fight. harder than ever between now and the June primaries. Victory appears to be in sight, but it is not yet within our grasp. And North. Dakota can place no‘reliance in the returns from Tuesday’s primar- ies. It will not be safe to say “Well, we licked Townley in March, and we'll do it again in June,” because, when you come right down to brass tacks, we do not know whether it was our votes or our weather that beat the socialistic boss of North Dakota last Tuesday. There’s no longer any question that Townley can be beaten. He has proven himself incapable of the wise exercise of power which is ‘essential to the retention of power.- Like many another demagogue, Townley is an excellent fighter, but a poor victor. He has disappointed and disgusted so many of his followers who had all the faith in the world in him that Townley never can come back completely, even should he win another two years’ tenure by capturing the June primaries. And if Townley loses then, he is gone wholly and forever. i , “Nobody knows how dry I am,” has been sung , ‘by thousands, but Governor Edwards is the ‘first to offer it as a party swan song. |. THE BLUE LAWS North’ Dakota’s blue laws seem to possess a whole lot more vitality than they were given cred- it for when the returns first began to come in Wednesday morning. By Wednesday: evening al- most everyone, including Rev. F. L. Watkins, sup- erintendent of the law enforcement league, ad- mitted that North Dakota’s blue laws had been relegated. Thursday the corpse seemed to show less rigor mortis than the day before, and early this morning, when it developed that Cass county had returned a majority of five to 100 against the repeal of the three most important blue laws, and that Logan county, which for some reason or other has never been regarded. as a Stronghold of statues of indigo hue, had, in’ 11 ‘precincts gone very strongly and positively. against the re- peal of any of these laws, it began to look as though the widow of the late deceased had or- dered her weeds too early. It is interesting to note that voters on the blue laws used some discrimination. For instance, in nearly all of the returns the,initiated act author- izing Stinday baseball for an admission fee, stands well at the head, with boxing second and the act licensing the sale of cigarettes ‘bringing up the rear. ‘ The repeal of the blue laws may yet be effected, but mourners would be wise to withhold their tears until an autopsy has been performed on the completed returns, and a week or possibly more will elapse before this can be done. In the meantime, The Tribune would respect- fully urge tobacconists, theatre-proprietors,. Box- ing match promoters and managers of baseball clubs to take cognizance of the fact that in any event none of the new laws becomes effective until 80 days after passage, and that. any effort to open theatres the coming Sabbath, as some proprietors have proposed, or to immediately embark upon the open sale of cigarettes will bring disaster. It may be that men die of drinking hair tonic because the hair grows on their inside lining and tickles them to death.

What will be the influence of this new body of voters? Thevigor with which woman leaders have pushed the cause of suffrage gives promise of an equal vigor in pursuing political activities. ; | The greatest: weakness in- the working of our political system is the apathy of voters. The av- erage American man is busy with his own affairs. Only when politics directly affects his affairs is he likely to take an active interest. Yet the ma- jority in this country can have about anything they want when they want it, if they will interest themselves more actively and consistently in pub- lic affairs. : There is reason to hope that women will not allow themselves to fall into this apathy. They have carried on a long campaign for the ballot . and’ they should appreciate the meaning and pow- er of what they have with such difficulty won. The country has.the right to expect from them a new vitality of interest and, constructiveness. Will they disappoint. this hope?—Minneapolis Journal. Te ‘4 SECRETARY LANE’S VALEDICTION Read between the lines, the valediction .of Franklin K. Lane explains why he was a; good secretary of the interior. He was fond of his work. His letter to the president is not a picture of his own record but an attempt to show the people what a great department that of the inter- ior is and how much greater it may become. Mr. Lane, regretting that the-interior department ap-|: pears to be only “an abiding place for a group of unrelated governmental agencies,” hastens to plead that “it is the most distinctly American of all the departments.” . Mr. Lane’s peculiar value as the secretary of the interior has come from his power of reducing large, abstract, uninviting propositions to small and diverting units. He has been interested in “a barrel of oil,,a mountain canyon, the flow, of a river or the capacity of the humblest of men.” '|He has the pioneer type of mind, Alaska, Amer- ican forests, oil and ore fields, all have been lively objects of his interest. S \ The national capital will remember Lane, if for nothing else, for his indictment of it. “Washing- ton,” he says, “‘is‘a combination of political cau- cus, drawing room and civil service bureau.” It is honest and means well, but is.poorly organized. It is natural that a secretary of the interior, en- thusiastic over his work, should feel that way. It irks him because, when he sees a thing to be done, the machinery delays the doing. Lane, al- ways willing to take responsibility—even for a hand in those cabinet. meetings—is vexed by men who keep the buck going around. the table: “Every one seems to be afraid of every one. The self-protective sense is developed abnor- mally, the creative sense atrophies. Tfust, confidence, enthusiasm—these simple virtues of all great’ business are the ones most lack- ing in government organization.” 3 This is all true. Red tape and little tyrants have had their effect. To say that the same evils exist, in all governments long established is not a complete excuse. The only remedy is better men in office; men who, trusted, trust- others; men who have.the courage to say necessary ! rk in cities. The things bluntly, as Lane has done—New York Her- more -citizens know about their city the better ald, " ore stboosting: and*, less] ‘\MARCH TERM OF FEDERAL SUCCESSFUL ‘SEED TESTING DEVICE | A ‘parlor table seed testing’ device, city and owned-by: the Carugt facturing Co. composed. of some of the leading business and professional men of Bismarck, ‘4s givem an. in- two: pictures of .the, d Month's issue of Popular § Tho company was formed t ayo and started to mi the s¢ed_ testers cause,.of the iscarcity of metal to the nation’s. war resniremen manufacture of the article due} the | sus pended.
