THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY North Dakota has come through another presidential primary with a light vote at a heavy expense. It has given Coolidge an endorsement that may mean much and then on the other hand it may mean nothing. For outside consump- tion at least, it may give an impression that North Dakota is becoming less radical. Until the delegates and electors are determined, no one can know whether we are for Cov- lidge or one-third for him and the other two-thirds for Hiram and “Lob” LaFollette. Sneh are the paradoxes of the preferential primary. It is possible under the hodge podge ballot to endorse a Coo- lidge and then saddle a mixed delegation upon him that will vote as they read the election trend. LaFollette’s and Johnson’s combined vote will be in excess of Coolidge’s vote. Those who oppose Coolidge will say this reflects a protest against the national admin stration. Let the friends of LaFollette.and Johnson tak can from such a post-mortem. It is impossible, of course, to prove that they are right or wrong, but under our system the voters should accept the fact that Coolidge has carried the state and is entitled to the loyal support of the delega- tion unless primaries are to be made more ridiculous. Oil and Daugherty may have brought out a heavier vote for the opponents of Coolidge than otherwise would have happened, but those who know the underlying facts behind the LaFollette sticker campaign, know that the situation came because of a fight in the nonpartisan league ranks and ‘a feeling among some Coolidge supporters that ‘forcing LaFollette into the race would divide the opposition and give Coolidge an endorsement. An example merely of one of the many abuses of the present primary system. But these political tricks more often defeat their own ends than they accomplish the desired goal. LaFollette honorably repudiated the candidacy which a league faction forced through sticker to checkmate the clique backing Johnson. At present writing it appears that LaFollette will’ be second high man, a most remarkable victory by virtue of a sticker and in defiance of LaFollette’s own wishes, thanks to the nrimary system. Many North Dakota voters worship “Bob” LaFollette. He has become a political habit in this state as Bryan is with some Democrats who don’t vote today unless the Com- moner happens to be on the ballot in some capacity or other. Doubtless as between Coolidge and LaFollette, the Wiscon- sin senator would have won hands down. But as between Coolidge and Hiram Johnson, some very astute politicians seem to believe that Coolidge would have been the victor. aS The Republican national committee should not be elated ! over the North Dakota election. It may result in a Coolidge delegation and The Tribune hopes that such will be the case, but the loopholes in the present law are so.many that the delegates, whoever they are, unless bound by a sense of honor may do as they please without much fear for the conse- quences. That is why people in large numbers refuse to go to the polls in presidential primary years. Four years ago a blizzard raged and only some 31,000 persons voted out of a possible 150,000 or more. Women did not have the suffrage then. The present vote will run be- tween 125,000 and 150,000 out of a possible 230,000 votes. This is about sixty per cent of normal and were it not for the Fedge lien law, city and township elections and interest aroused over the new election laws referred at this election, the total vote would have been much less. 2 A word as to the expense of the presidential primary. This election, when the cost of the publicity pamphlet.is con- sidered, will probably be somewhere in the neighborfiood of 250,000 and may reach $300,000. This year every female yoter received a copy of the publicity pamphlet which meant *“fwo or three copies to a home where one would have suf- -ficed, all of which is taken out of the already heavily bur- dened taxpayers. As far as presidential preference was concerned, the issue could have been settled at no cost to the taxpayers more efficiently and effectively in party conventions. Coolidge has a plurality vote, just how many delegates to back that preference will be elected cannot be known until the official vote is tabulated. So much for our monumental farce: The Presidential THE HERALD PASSES, Passing of the New York Herald into the hands of the it is an uneconomic and poor business policy to continue to publish two newspapers making an appeal to the same people will recall the glorious days of the past of the Herald and of the morning Sun which was absorbed by the Herald.

BLOW JO THE FRENCH “RENO” The decision of the French ge ernment that French courts here- after shall grant divorces to Amer- icans only on grounds which would justify divorce under the laws of the states in which they liv nd that the length of residence in France preliminary to divorce’ hall at least equal that required by state law, is well calculated to end a scandal« of things. It is understood that the new -nch regulation will not allow a of adultery committed in the J a ground for di- vorce in France. If so, there is additional reason for expecting a virtually complete abandonment of the growing custom of resort by rich Americans to French courts instead of to those of Nevada or some other easy-going American state for re from matrimon- ial bonds.

And she was the most for- bidding old maid in New York. I know if I lose my mind {t will be the same, and that alone {s enough to drive any decent woman mad.

She would be in hysterics in an- other ‘moment. Mary, who was on the point of nausea, went hastily into her dressing-room and poured out a dose of sal-volatile. “Here!” she said peremptorily. “Drink this, I'll not listen to another word. And I don’t wish to be obliged to call an pmbulance.” Miss Trevor gulped it down, and then permitted herself to be led to sofa, where she lay sprawled, her immaculate hat on one side, giving her the look of a de bauched gerontic virgin. She lay panting for a few moments, while Madame Zattiany paced up and down the room. She turned as she heard a groan.

And she cut short both his pro- tests and his expression of sympa- thy by hanging up the receiver. And then she picked up a vase and hurled it to the floor and smashed it. ~ xin Clavering stood.on his high ba). cony and looked down upon Madi- son Square. Spring had come. The Square looked like an oasis in rocky gorge. The trees were cov- ered with the tender greens of the new birth,.and even President Ar. thur and Roscoe Conkling, less green than in winter, looked recon. Giled to their lot. A. few people were sunning themselves on the ‘benches, many more were on top of the busses over on Fifth ave nue, and even the hurrying throngs, preoccupied with crass business, seemed to walk with a lighter step, their heads up, in- stead of sullenly defying winds and sleet. The eight streets that sur- rounded or debouched into the Square «poured ‘forth ' continuous streams\of figures, constantly aug- the earth itself. There. color running like ribbons through the crowds, for it was nearly nine o'clock and the doors of offices and shops and business houses were open to women as to men.) Over head a yellow sun shone in a pale filmy sky and the air was both warm and sharp. The doves were f| circling and settling. The prize-fighters had taken their prowess elsewhere, and a cir. cus had come to Madison Square Garden. Clavering had heard the roar of lions in the night. A far different crowd wauld stand under the arcade fn a few hours, but the Peanut venders would ply their trade, and a little booth for can. dies and innocuous juices had been erected in an alcove in the front wall, presided over by a plump pretty blonde.
