Ignoring primary laws, calls are being issued, county and state conven- tions held and the Grand Forks Herald is solemnly discussing the evils attending and the abuses fol- lowing the operation of the unit rule. The Forum recently referred ‘to the action of the Nonpartisan League as “this matter of party} discipline.” Of course it was merely a slip of| the editorial pen. Party. discipline which the Forum sighs for has passed into desuetude, in- nocuous or otherwise, under the primary system imperfect as it is. Action taken, at Fargo gr what may transpire at Jamestown is not binding upon republicans or democrats or socialists. At Fargo for instance, the:convention frankly avoided any reference to party labels. That was a meeting to endorse candidates committed to certain econemic policies. It is presumed that the candidates nominated for office’ where party | eetion is concerned will file in the republican primaries, but the delegates -met ‘as -representa- : tives of the nonpartisan league not as spokesmen * for the republican party. In that respect at least the delegates were logical and there was no evi- ' MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1922 the independents in returning the state govern- ment to a normal basis. but if the fight is to be abandoned to engage in political head hunting and settling up of old political feuds just*because a few politicians feel their power, it must not be done under false pretensions or in the name of a party over which no group has the power to usurp control. North Dakota has achieved a great place in the nation’s councils through the promotion of Sen- ator McCumber. His republicanism cannot be questioned. His retention at the head of the finance committee is acceptable to President Harding and other leaders of the republican party. In view of this situation, it is presumptuous to say the least that republicans must or should abide by the Jamestown convention as its actions may affect the shaping of the national policies. When it comes to consideration of strictly state issues why that is another matter. There is a common ground upon which inde- pendents can stand in the approaching contest but that cannot be reached by the route of factional reprisals. Senator McCumber should have the endorse- ment of republicans of North Dakota regardless of the clique to which they are aligned.

The league operates much after the fashion of a bloc and bids t! for support anywhere devoid of party feelings or scruples. If the Forum had termed it class or bloc discipline, that would have ‘been nearer the truth. Republicans surely can draw little inspira- tion from the league convention, for it is this class or bloc pressure in state affairs that the, inde- pendents are trying to eliminate. - The republicans of North Dakota can legally Conventions at Fargo, Jamestown or elsewhere are merely group meetings to secure tickets which reflect the political affiliations of groups. The electors of the state know what took place +. at Fargo. At Jamestown, however, there will be an effort to make it appear that the convention speaks finally for the republican party of North Dakota. Of course inthe very nature of things, it is going to be hard to compose all politicial dif- ferences in a convention called by a certain fac- tion of the republican. party. the Real Republican committee cannot tie the hands of the electors of the state whose powers of selection cannot be, abridged: or controlled by what takes place at Jamestown. - ; Senator McCumber jis the senior. senator in| North Dakota. He has announced his candidacy on the republican ballot and whether endorsed or| not at Jamestown, he will make the race, as far! as his friends are informed at least. That | + much is certain now.

Moore, of this city, has left for The Herald’s inspection a® copy of.a St, John’s, New foundiand, “papeF containing ‘an. iecount of an air trip from the Newfoundland capital up the Labra- dor coast;to a settlement 500 miles distant and re- turn. The airplane carried mail and a quantity of ‘ such supplies as could conveniently be-carried on such a craft, and While the voyagers had to con- tend with stormy and iiiclement weather, the trip was made in a brief time and in good order, and the plane carried on its return trip a quantity cf valu- able furs. rack a The story itself is an interesting one, but aside frem being the record of an adventurous trip under severe conditions, it tends to-fix attention on the service which scienée is rendering to human beings in out-of-the-way places. Dr. Moore is a native of Newfoundland, and in-his early manhood he trav- eled extensively on the Labrador mainland. With a pack on his back he has tramped for days along ‘the routes since made familiar through the writ- ings of Dr. Grenfell, and he is familiar with the life of the fisher folks who live in the settlements along the coast, and-of those who penetrate the fair play.

BY WILLIAMS | ‘| ment site to the developers, and, as he anna, of conveyance, re- marked in his airy way, “Ah, nothing like exercise, gentlemen. That's made every one of my ancestors turn in his grave.” The developers tittered respectfully as befits men who had landed a good thing. Westward of Penny Green is Chov- ensbury; behind Tidborough the sun rises. Penny Green, like Rome, had not been built in a day. The houses of the Penny Green Garden Home, on the other hand, ‘were being run up in as near to a day as enthusiastic developers, feverish’ contractors (vy- ing one with another) and, impatient tenants could compass. . Nor, was The houses had ‘been. built not only by peo- ple who intended to live in thei, signed the ;and proposed to be roomy and well cupboarded and stoutly ‘beamed “and floored in them, but who, not. fore- seeing restless and railwayed genera- tions, built them to’ endure for the children, of their children’s ~ children and for children yet beyond. Sabre’s house was. of grey stone and it’ pre- sented over the doorway the date of 1667. z “Nearly. two hundred and fifty years,” Mabel had once said. “And I bet,” ‘Sabre had replied, “it’s never been ‘better kept or run than you run it now, Mabel.” The tribute was well deserved. Mabel, who was in many ways a model woman, was pre-eminently a model housewife. “Crawshaws” was spot- lesssly kept and perfectly admin- istered. The only room in the house which room on the ground floor; and it was his own room, furnished and deco- rated by Mabel for-his own particu- lar use,and comfort. But she called it his “den,” and Sabre loathed and detested the word den as applied to a room a man specially inhabits. It implied to him a masculine untidi- ness, and he was intensely orderly and hated untidiness. _It implied ‘oustoms and ‘manners of what he called “boarding house ideas’—{he idea that a man must have an un- tidily. comfortable apartment into ~~. which he can retire and envelop him- EVERETT TRUE. | _ BY CONDO| R 3: HAS ‘ENTERED ELEVA TOR — You” YATOR MAN.

Sabre did not like was the sitting; self in tobacco smoke, and where he “can have his own things around him and “have his pipes and his pic- tures about him,” and where he can wear “an old shooting jacket and slippers”—and he loathed and detest- ed all these phrases and the ideas they connoted. He had no “old shoot- ing jacket” and he would have given it to the gardener if he had; and he detested wearing slippers and never did wear slippers; it was his habit to put on his boots after his bath and to keep them on till he put on shoes when changing for dinner. Above all, he loathed and detested the vision which the word ‘den” always con- ‘jured up to him. This was a vision of the door of a typical den being saying in a mincing voice, “This is George in his den,” and of boarding- house females peering over the wife’s shoulder and smiling fatuously at the denizen who, in an_ old shooting jacket and slippers, grinned vacuous- ly back at them. To Mark this was a horrible and unspeakable vision. The matter of the den and another matter, touching the servants, came up between them in the very earliest days of their married, life. Mabel had been busy “settling things,” and she took him round the house with delicious pride and happiness. Mark, sharing both, had bis arm linked in hers. When they came to the fourth sitting room Mabel announced gaily, ‘And this is your den!” Mark gave, a mock groan. lord, not den!” “Yes, of course, den. not?” “I absolutely can’t stick den.” He glanced about. “Who on earth’s ieft those fearful’old slippers there?” “They're a pair of father’s. I took them specially for you for this room. You haven’t got any slippers like that.” He’ gazed upon, the heels down- trodden by her heavy father. He did not much like her heavy father._ “No, I haven't,” he said, and thought grim- ly, “Thank God!” “Oh, Why ever il (Mabel opened’ the ‘kitchen door, “The master’s come to see how nice the ktchen looks.” Two maids in black dresses and an extraordinary amount of © stiffly starched aprons and caps and stream+ ers rose awkwardly and bobbed awk- ward little bows. One was very tall, the other rather short. Mabel looked from the girls to Mark and from Mark to the girls, precisely as if she were exhibiting rare specimens to her hus- band and. her. husband to her rare specimens, And in the tone of one ex- | hibiting pinned, dired and completely impersonal specimens, she announced, “They're sisters. Their name is Jinks.” Mark,, examining the exhibits; had been feeling like a fool. Their name humanized them and relieved his awk- ward feeling. “Ha! Jinks, eh? High Jinks and Low Jinks, what?’ He laughed. It struck him as rather comic; High Jinks and Low Jinks tit- tered broadly, losing in the most as- itonishing way the one her severity and the other her glumness.
