CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PRIMARY
LAW.
To make the changes in election law,
as advocated by some radicals, would
involve a question of constitutionality.
The constitution of the United States
and -the constitution of the state recog
nizes the right of the individual voter as
such, and does not in any way recognize
party or party organization.
A primary law as advocated by some,
puts party, party organization, and party
candidates,'above and beyond the in
4ividual voter gives dominant and old
parties, privileges over new parties,. and
establishes the principle by law, which
cannot be found in the constitution, to
wit: the recognition of organized pdrtiz
Atiship as against the individual voter by
himself or in unorganized bodies.
It is exactly the same principle—as if
|y law we should recognize trusts, mo
nopolies and labor unions—as against
the individuals who are not members
of the organizations.
We are not arguing against the tend
ency of law to recognize party organiza
tion, we are not by any means ceit iin
that it is not the better way* Over in
Can-ida that has been the way since the
beginning. The individual voter there
has no choice except to vote lor the party
candidate at the eltclion. His ballot for
anyone else would be thrown out.
Parties and party organization are
natural and healthy growths—but when
fItbe constitution of the: United states was
adopted, parties as we now know them,
plzed.
But under our constitution, has the
*tate aright to give any body of organ
ized citizens rights and privileges con
cerning suflrage that will debar 'tbe in*
.,v.. ^dividual voter, or a number of unoqpn-
J*ed individual voters irom equal r%tot»
*nd privileges?

HIGHER EDUCATION.
Our friends, the school ma'ams, of
whom we are proud to say we were once,
annually meet in state conventions and
resolve that the teacher is great and
ought to be greater, that he isn't proper
ly appreciated or paid, all of which is
true.
But how can it be helped? The radi
cal trouble is, exactly the same as with
other labor problems, supply and de
mand. In all labor there is as a rule an
unlimited supply of untrained material,
and a scarcity of trained and capable
workmen. An in no line of labor is this
more true than in teaching.
The high schools and even county
schools are yearly turning out thousands
of girls and boys who eagerly seek the
positions of "cheap" teachers.
There are thousands of small district
schools with an average attendance of
from six to a dozen children of less than
ten years of age where the cheap teachers
readily find employment.
Not one in fifty of these teachers ever
intend to make teaching a livelihood,
not one in a hundred will ever follow it
up. It is a mere stepping stone to mar
riage on the part of the female and to
other professions by the male.
On the other hand what has the real,
educated, trained teacher to look for
ward to. He is a nomad. Four years
at a place is along term. He can there
for make no permanent home. When
he is fifty he has becqme too old for
further service. He has no present, no
future* There may be "room on top" in
this profession as in others—but the same
brain, training and personal attributes
that will bring a teacher to the top in
twenty years would make a successful
lawyer or doctor in half the time—md
the revenue all along will be vastly
greater.
Brethren of the teaching "profession"
these are your problems. It will take
all your knowledge of all the higher
sciences to solve them. Tliey aie hard
cold facts, not theories, that face ou.
PRIMARY PROGRESS.
Indications from Bismarck seem to in
dicate that there will be a. primary law
passed, but that it will have but little re
semblance to the original bill that passed
the senate. On the other hand, it is
likely to be an improvement in that it
will not so radical a departure from the
present law and principles, as to compel
the voter to spend so much time in find
ing his way to the election booth through
a lab rinth of red tape.
If it if possible to throw sufficient safe
guards around the present laws to correct
or mitigate the present evils, it would
seem a better way than to turn the whole
thing upside down and trust to luck tor
the outcome.
Gradual changes based on actual ex
perience ought, to be a better method
than radical changes based on guesswork
and hap hazard.
JSd. H. Pierce has bought the Grafton
Record of Mr. Wood. The change in
the ownership does not alter the appear
ance of the Record, editorially or other
wise, as Mr. Pierce has been in-charge
tor many years,— and is one of the best
ntwjpaper writers in the west when it
comes to anything in the humoious line.
Court. •.
Court has been dragging along. father
slowly this week. Monday being a legal
holiday, court adjourned on Saturday at
3:30 until Tuesday at 11. Besides the
attorneys in this trial have not agreed as
well as in the trial of Hartzell and the
jury have spent many hours in retire^
ment while the attorneys argue the ques
tion of the admission of evidence. Tl|e
state made a strenuous effort to keep
out the evidence afircting the' characters
ot Stoddard and of Hartzell and Bascom.
Tbcre is nothing new or of especial in
terest in the evidence given in this trial
fa tlie sain* witnesses give practically
the same evidence as in the frrmer trial

again, but Mr. DePuy remains as princi
pal counsel on the part of the State.
Mr. Sinkler who was also ill is
better. Ma ay of the witnessess and
friends who were in attendance from
Minnesota and Iowa left for their homes
on Saturday. There is still quite a large
number of spectators attracted to the
court room each day but there is now
plenty of seats for all and some to spare.
There will doubtless be a crowd to hear
the closing arguments, especially as it
is expected that Mr. Bangs and Mt*. De
Puy will speak. Mr. Bangs is especially
noted as being one of the most eloquent
attorneys of the state.
As we go to press on Thursday the
evidence of the defence seems tp be
about all in and likely to close. As Mr.
Bascom has not been put on the Stand
in his own defence, it may be that they
will close with his testimony, but1 it is
thought that he will not go on the statld.
If he should it would doubtless delky the
trial at least one more day if not longer,
as he would in all probability be sub
jected to a very long cross-examination.
If Bascom is not put on the stand then
the state will put on some witnesses in
rebuttal, but it is stated that they will not
occupy much time. In that case it is
quite likely that the .case would be
argued and go to the iury by Saturday
night

Extension of the Soo.
The Soo has commenced active con
struction work on their line which will
be completed during the coming summer
between Thief River Falls, Minn,., and
Kenmare, N. D.t starting pile driving for
the two bridges which will be: j?uilt
across the Snake river, one at Warren
and one about eight miles west of War
ren and a third across the Red ^iver
just north of Northland, inn., afld 11
miles east of,Ardoch, N. D. Fos the
bridges on the Snake river the timber
and piles are being hauled over land
from Thief River Falls on sleighs, four
loads having arrived at Warren Saturday
last. Some of the timbers were 95 feet
in length and were shipped from Wash
ington to Thief River.
There has been much speculation re
garding the exact line which woufd be
(aid, during the past few months. It will
run from Thief River Falls northwesterly
tr War^n. thence straight west for
about 12 mile^, after which it veers to the
south just a trifle, crossing the Red river
near Northland. Proceeding west it
strikes Ardoch, where it. ciosses the
Great Northern, on to Forest River
where it crosses the Northern Pacific,
west to Bisbee, where it crosses the St.
John branch of the Great Northern, to
Omemee. where it crosses the Botti
neau branch of the G, N., and. on to
Kenmare, where it connects with the Soo
running from St. Paul to Portal.. Thus
it will bs seen that it crosses the Great
Noithern four times, counting' the War
ren crossing, and the Northern Pacific
once.
