L (Ofticiat City, State and County t Newspaper) Foreign Representatives § SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER k (incorporated) ®CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON t Agitation for Primary Repeal ® ‘It is illogical to advocate repeal of ¢the primary law simply upon the basis eof cost to the taxpayers. Probably Sthat issue is raised by those who would abolish the primary, as the most effective argument against the sys- ytem. If that theory were applied to Tmany governmental operations as an argument for their abolition, it is not qhard to determine what the logical "conclusion would be. t There are many necessary func- .tions of government that cost real , Money and no one is urging that they tbe dispensed with because they are tcostly, There are more important {7easons than cost to urge against con- tinuation of the primary system. ‘ If the primary law served any great Jend, the cost argument falls of its own t weight. The primary law originally Was intended to safeguard popular i government and permit the people to ‘rule. Of course the opposite result ;has most generally obtained. Politi- sum from Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, and paper from Bathurst, New Bruns- wick, The 38 outbound cargoes included eight of flour to Aberdeen and Glas- Buffalo and Port Colborne; five car- goes of flour and mill products to St. John’s, Newfoundland; one copper Icargo to France and 24 cargoes of flour to Maritime Province ports. While this thpough tonnage move- ment was dwarfed by the total St. Lawrence canal traffic, it must be re- | membered that the ships are small ones. Moreover, they are limited in their loading west of Montreal to about 13 feet by the present 14-foot antiquated canal system, permitting a load of not more than 1,800 tons. It does prove, nevertheless, that with the Seaway completed, freight ships of the types now operating over the world trade routes will extend their services into the Great Lakes. And when that time comes it will mean lower freight rates on many of the articles we use and higher prices for many of the products we raise. It will mean that Bismarck is less than a thousand miles from the sea and that a substantial step toward eco- nomic equality with seaboard states has been taken. There should be no further delay in reaching an agree- ment with Canada which will make this seaway a reality. The Fight for Life Many towns and small communi- ties in North Dakota now are making ‘a last-ditch stand for their existence. Increased use of the automobile and improved roads have brought about @ condition in which it no longer is necessary to have towns close to- gether to serve the needs of neigh- boring farmers. It rapidly has be- come a contest of the survival of the fittest. Some persons in the larger cities look with satisfaction upon this trend, but it is by no means universal, even among those who, presumably, stand to profit by bringing to their city all the trade in a large area. There are businessmen in Bismarck who not only are willing to see the small towns grow and prosper but who are willing to aid where they can. As always is the case in such mat- ters, however, salvation or deseutude depends upon the energy, activity and hopefulness of the citizens in the towns affected. If they can estab- lish such industries as their particu- lar town can best support and make ;¢ians have been able to manipulate primaries more easily than they did , the caucus and the convention. The fact that the primary system has not made elections cleaner or safeguarded popular government are the real reasons why a return to the convention system would be better and of course much cheaper than the Present costly system of frequent elections and ballots cluttered with candidates and issues. Presidential primaries, especially, serve no good end. All political par- ties could select such officials in party assembled. Legal safeguards thrown about party organization would make their decisions representative and the state and the nation would get = bet- ter class of public servants than has resulted in mass action at the pri- maries. The next legislature prob- ably will have before it many bills re- vising the state’s election laws, not alone in the interest of economy but also to restore party action and re- sponsibility which have broken down under the present primary system. In North Dakota there will be a ballot at the June primaries of re- ferred measures. This ballot, unless the supreme court finds some meas- ures improperly drawn, will be 40 inches long. In many counties there are more than 20 candidates for sher- iff alone, meaning a long and cum- bersome ballot. Minnesota, at this writing, has 89 candidates for congress, all running at large. Probably that state will have one of the longest and most compli- cated ballots in its history. There is their town a fairly attractive place in which to live, they easily may find it possible to buck the tide. There are few towns which do not offer opportunity to organize a small creamery, either on a cooperative basis or through individual initiative. Many small towns already have found this to be true and are reaping dol- lars obtained through the cream check. Such towns will never be- come ghost cities with only memo- ries of their former activity to justify @ postoffice and a spot on the map. The Fall Case Albert B. Fall, secretary of the in- terior in the Harding administration, whose prison sentence ended Sunday, is one of the outstanding examples of @ prophet who has lost honor in his own country. Fall, a leader in the nation a few years ago, emerges from jail, branded as a bribe-taker. He has had honor and prestige in his day. But a single careless gesture lost them all for him. ‘We may talk of the flexibility of modern social codes but the fact re- mains that honor is more important than wealth or fame. Without it, the others are sounding brass, tink- ling cymbals, just so much excess baggage. Loss of it, whether due to one’s conduct or to the action of others, is probably the sorriest thing that can happen to a man.

It’s an event which brings out the news reel cameras, the reporters, the news Picture lads and the crowds. Once in @ while there's even a bit of a speech. Incongruous as a sheep-shearing in New York, is the way they put it. Youngsters are told about it by school teachers and dutifully flock to Cen- tral Park in droves, partly to see what a sheep looks like; partly to see how the wool is removed. Folk who once lived on the farm shed a tear. City folk stand with open mouths. As a professional attender I remem- ber one time when Frank Hoey, cus- todian of the flock, needed some ex- tra help in a hurry and asked for vol- unteers. Four expert shearers step- ped from the crowd. The flock, by the way, roams the hills and lawns of Central Park and one of the big town’s oddest sights is that of the sheep being “driven home” through the park crowds in the late of the evening. ee Unsocial Butterflies Yes, and there are the butterflies!

The Gathering place is at one O. Fulda’s, who imports rare specimens from all over the world. The commoner, but quite beautiful, varieties are assorted on plates and vases and trays and such. A large blue butterfly, he tells me, is the best seller. Now, you wouldn’t think that a fel- low could make a good living for 32 years selling nothing but butterflies. Yet that’s just what this merchant has done. To be sure, he could dig you up a moth or a few insects if you showed interest. Children, for instance, like cocoons which go for a dime each. Tourists prefer knick-knacks. In the beginning taxidermists were his only customers. In a few months he will be off for South American jungles and the The | Guianas to round up another year’s ae Stock. About a hundred specimens a day are considered good pickings. Usually he has orders in his pockets —when he wears clothes out there— from the collectors seeking the rare varieties. ee # Follows His Nose Cyrano was possibly right!

ALLIED AIR VICTORY On May 16, 1918, flushed with vic- tory in the air the day before, the British and French went aloft in Pic- ardy and Flanders and accounted for 46 more German machines. On May Science has invented a machine to measure noise, and in its first test it 15, 55 were brought down. Italy and Austria were having it hot and heavy on the Italian front. To make up for gains made by Aus- trians the previous day, Italian troops, aided by a withering artillery fire, swept through Austrian lines at two Points and entered Monte Asolone. British planes journeyed over Saar- brucken and bombed the city, caus- ing much property damage and ty- ing up troops and munition trains. During the battle in the air five Ger- man planes were shot down.

She tried to appear as though nothing had changed but of course every- thing had. At one o'clock after Waring and Pierson had gone her employer came out and spoke to her. “May I drive you home?” he asked. Susan felt a sort of terror. The time for a decision had come, She had tossed and turned at night, seeking an answer, but had found none. She had not dared to confide in Aunt Jessie. She went to get her wraps, paling at the prospect before her. This man was everything that was good. He was chivalrous and kind. He had wealth and position. But there “was no use denying that sh: did not love him. Once during the drive she shiv- ered. The man turned to her abruptly. “That coat you're wearing isn’t warm enough,” he told her. “I'd like to sée you in furs, You should ‘wear soft, warm, brown fur, That would suft you.” Susan laughed excitedly. “Let me give you these things,” the man urged, “I haven’t wanted to press you into a hasty decision but can't you let me know soon?” Susan trembled. It was as she bad feared. She would not be able AN HUNTERS “to put the hour off much longer. | It trapped. She fel “Give me just another day,” she begged. “Give me until Monday.” He agreed. The house was very silent as she let herself in with her key, Where was Aunt Jessie? Saturday was usually her busiest day, invariably she could be found with her head tied up in a towel, shak- ing rugs with fury and dusting with fine precision. Susan went into the kitchen calling her but there was no answer, Then she thought she heard a feeble voice from the direction of the bedroom and went there. Aunt Jessie was stretched out on the bed from which the had not troubled to remove the counterpane. Her toweled turban lay on the chair where it had been carelessly flung. “What on earth's the matter?”|! Susan asked. The world was a strange place, indeed, when Aunt Jessie could be found lying down in mid-afternoon. The older woman's face looked oddly drawn, “I have a pain in my aide,” she panted. “A real bad one. Tt hit me all of a sudden.” “Did you call Dr. Smith?” said Susan, trying not to look as fright- ened as she felt, “No, I didn’t and I don’t belleve I'll need him. Fiz me a hot water bag and I'll be all right. Your lunch {s in the pantry.” eee Susan took charge, saying stern- ly, “I'm going to call bim this minute.” Somehow, being stern with Aunt Jessie helped ber to crowd back her unreasoning fears. ‘The doctor came and by that time narrow hospital bed! He hate to leave you,” Susan told re “You go right along and don't worry,” Aunt Jessie whispered. “Go to Rose and stay.” Susan departed feeling vtterly sbeken. How small ber own problems seemed beside this real, heart-shaking one! She tele- Phoned to Rose who promised to Come over at supper time. Susan wandered from room to room with a strange, lost sensation. When the telephone rang she trembled 80 violently she could scarcely an- swer it. It was Dr. Smith’s crisp voice. “We've decided it’s an acute sppendiz,” he said. “Dr. O’Brien wants to operate within an hour. He doesn’t think we should wait until morning.” The doctor prom- ised to call her later. eee gusan never knew how she got through that terrible evening. Rose came, a pillar of strength as usual, and insisted that the other sirl must eat something. “I couldn't possibly,” Susan ob- “Well, you can drink a cup of tea, anyhow,” Rose decided. The hot, fragrant beverage made Su- san feel a little better but she was fam waiting for the telephone to Ing.

I've been wanting to have a little talk with you though. Your aunt isn’t going to be able to rush around, working herself gray-headed when she gets up out of bed. She really should get away for a while if it can be managed.” His shrewd old eyes searched the girl's face. “I know she should,” Susan told him, “She always worked too hard.” “I’ve warned her about this be- fore,” the doctor said. “But she won't or can’t slow up. Do you think you can manage it?” Susan thought quickly. There could be but one way. Aunt Jess! would never consent to draw on her small savings for convales- cence. The girl met the doctor's gaze squarely, If she had been hoping for a sign to show her what she should do surely this was it. For almost 20 years Aunt Jessie had been taking care of Now it was Susan's turn. “I think I can,” she told Dr, Smith, “Good girl.” Herose. “That's splendid, Don’t worry about her.
