the east but new world. Efforts
then began to find northeast and
northwest passages from Europe to
Asia. Adolf Erik Nordenskjod, a
Russian, completed the northwest pas
sage in 1879 The first great advance
in the exploration of the northwest
passage was made by John Davis, who
discovered the strait named after him
In 1886. Henrik Hudson followed him
in 1907, and in 1915 Bafin reached
latitude n degrees. As minutes, a
record that stood unequaled for 236
years.
There was great revival of arctic
exploration In the early part Of the
nineteenth century. Sir John Frank
lin was sent by the British gov
eminent with two ships and 1923 men
expressly to make the northwest pas
sage. Nothing was heard of the party
from 1846 to 1854, when 1t was learned
that 1t had persisted. Numerous ex-
petitions were sent out for its relief,
among them that of Robert Mcclure,
who passed through Bering strait in
1850 and went eastward as far as Mel
vile island Here 1t was necessary
to abandon the ship. In the spring
of 1854 Mcclure and his crew were
met and rescued by McClintock's par
ty, which had come UP from the east,
and taken back to England. Mcclure
was thus the first to make the north
west passage. For his achievement
he was knighted by the British gov
eminent, promoted by captaincy in
the navy, and highly honored by scien.
tific societies.
The early arctic explorations were
commercial in object 1t long since
became certain that northwest
passage would be useless for com.
nercial purposes, because 1t would
be practically unnavigable. Elk.
plorations were continued for
reasons of sentiment and of science.
Capt Amundsen's voyage is Of
great interest from the senti-
mental and historical standpoints. Its
results may also have scientific value.
1t is reported that Amundsen has
positively located the magnetic pole
on King Williams island, .and his OBJ
seryations may enable scientific men
to clear up some obscure electric and
magnetic phenomena which long have
greatly puzzled them.

NO DIcTAIlON BY CONGRESS-,
The New Governors Altitude on
Prohibition.

Washington, Dec. .. Captain
Frank Frantz, who was recently
nominated by the president to be gov
ernor Of Oklahoma, issued q formal
statement objecting to the incorpora-
ton In the measure providing state
hood for Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory Of prohibition clause. He says
that majority Of the people Of both
territories is opposed to any attempt
by congress to settle the liquor ques-
ton. \
Many prominent people in both
territories" said Captain Frantz, are
in favor Of prohibition, but they OBJ
ject to congress inserting d prohibi-
ton clause in the organic act erect
ing state. The majority Of the peo-
pie Of the two territories appear to
be largely in favor of asking congress
to leave this whole matter to the peo-
pie for settlement. that being right
they think ought to be theirs. A
strong argument now being used by
a good many prohibitionists Is that
II congress forces this upon the peo
pie It will have the effect Of preju
dicing them against prohibition, and
they will repudiate it at the first OPP
portunity."
The Republican national committee
man and the Republican state chair
man Of the Indian Territory and many
other prominent men Of both terri
tories have in the last few weeks in
formed the president and members Of
congress that the people are utterly
opposed to having prohibition forced
upon them by congress.

TILLER OF THE SOIL HoNoREo.
Farmer Has Respect and Admiration

of All.
Within the last dozen years won
derful change has come over the bust
ness of farming in this country. The
approbrium that once attached to the
occupation Of tilling the soil has CIV
en- way to genuine respect and ad-
miration for the farmers, who to-day
live better in every way than ma
jority of those who claim the sordid,
gruelIing cities as their homes. Most
of the farmers nowadays have unmort-
gagged dwellings on profitable acres.
Their sons and daughters go to col
leges and technical schools, where
they learn how to return to the farms
and get more out Of the soil than their
fathers were able to do. The cities
do not offer the attraction to these
young people they once held. 1t is
hard to understand why more Of the
complainers and those who say they
can not earn enough to keep them
selves and their families in the cities
do not go to the agricultural COM
munities, where they are sure Of an
abundance Of food and good shelter.

down. Nobody ever heard such rol.
licking laughter, such mad scamper-
ings as went on. Somebody suggest
ed hide and seek. The young people
hid in the attack and the cellar and
in every possible place between. A
normally sedate young man was the
seeker. He galloped about madly,
shouting and searching. He opened
every door he saw and in one room
his keen eyes espied somebody trying
to hide in a bed. He bounced forward
and seized the figure.
Get out of thatI he cried. 1--WE
got you. You can't hide from me-"
Wild shrieks and the noise of com.
bat rent the air Furious invectiye
and stammered expostulation brought

say had any weight with her. She

Don't think I'm longer blinded by the

For you're a mighty liar, and the thing

And it has a value greater than all your
boosted wealth:
And another enc is honor, and some more
are truth and right:
