WHAT PROTECTION DID.
San Jose Mercury: The phenomenal
results of Republican protection have
not failed to excite the wonder and adj
miration of the world. Under that sys-
tenn this country advanced in wealth,
prosperity and happiness at a rate
never approached by any nation of an
cient or modern times. Referring to our
development under that tariff, Bis
marck, in 1882 addressing the German
Reichstag, said: THE success of the
United States in material development
is the most illustrious of modern times.
The American Nation has not only sue
cessfully borne and suppressed the most
gigantic and expensive war of all his
tory, but Immediately after disbanded
it's army, found employment for all it's
soldiers and marines, paid off most of
its debt, gave labor and homes to all
the unemployed of Europe as fast as
they could arrive within its territory,
and still by system of taxation SO in
direct as not to be perceived, much less.
felt. Because it is my deliberate judg
ment that the prosperity of America is
mainly due to its system of protective
laws, L urge that Germany has reached
that point where it is necessary to imi
tate the tariff system of the United
States"

Eds. Record Union: 1t is a matter
of surprise to notice that an amend
ment to the Constitution Of California
striking out the word male" and for
which the Women's Clubs are strenu-
ously working. is to 5e voted on at the
November election, inasmuch as female
suffrage is a dead issue in all other
parts Of the country, nine-tenths of the
women themselves being strongly op-
posed to it. Female suffrage and office
holding have proved to be blight and
curse wherever in vogue, the women
who have held office being compelled to
resign in many instances.
The few new States that have adopted
it have had bitter experiences, lost pop
ulation, prestige and never retrieved
their losses.

families, disrupting society, affairs of
the State and municipalities. No self
respecting man wishes to see his wife
or daughter riding around in carriages
at all hours of the day and night with
men of all colors "electioneering" as
has been done in States where female
voting and office holding prevails.
Advocates of female suffrage say that
wealthy women should not be deprived
of their votes. In reality they are only
holding the property in trust, having
inherited 1t from parents or husbands
who accumulated 1t.
Male law makers who have managed
the worlds affairs successfully up to
the present can we'll be trusted to safe
guard female interests.
A good woman is a blessing in her
natural sphere, but politics and office
holding is not her province. Voters
who have the welfare of California at
heart should vote soidly against the
amendment PRO BONO PUBLICO.

nothing failed except the effort to reach
the north pole. Yet by leaving the ship
and trudging over the Arctic glaze OF ice
and frozen snow, Nansen and two COM
panions came to a point just 700 miles
south of the pole. It is a matter of
mere calculation as to what altitude
Nansen must have been had he been
able to rise by balloon or otherwise
from which he might, with a good
glass and no intervening obstacles to
prevent, have approached by sight
nearer to the pole, and have given us
some further idea of the topography of
the globe in that mysterious region, to
explore which so much of life and treas
ure have been expended. Nansen left
the Fran in S4 north latitude, longi-
tude 1O2 east. She was then locked in
the ice and drifting westward. All his
observations to that time and taken
thereafter strengthen his theory that
there is a trans-polar current. 1t is
true that at the point indicated the cur
rent which carried the Fran was a
westward one, but this does not prove
him wrong, as he had not contended
that the current was regular in direc
ton. 1t may be that it is elliptical at
times and that it has vagaries of di
rection, and it may yet be proved to
move about and across the true pole. 1t
is certain that the Fran drifted in a
current from the New Siberia Islands
to point north of Franz Josef Land,
and this current was strong and almost
directly north. At that point it took a
westward trend. He has therefore vim
dicated his theory of current that has
brought him nearer to the pole than any
other explorer. Moreover, Nansen has
proved by his soundings that at the ex-
water, SO far from being shallow as has
been supposed, is over u 900 feet deep
and is not beneath a solid pack of ice
but is very much open, and that in the
depths the water is appreciably warmer
than near the surface, thus Indicating
flow from southern parts of a warm
current toward the pole. We are very
much inclined to believe that Nansen
has made the most important discov-
cries yet effected in Arctic seas and po-
lar research
