The strong interest that has gradu-

balloon voyage across the Atlantic
ocean as 8 means of definitely dis

the announcement that Professor Sam

enormous rubber cloth balloon in which
he expects to make a voyage across
the American continent from Minneap-
oils to the ocean shore early next
month. Fl
This journey is the one object that
the professor has for years sought to
obtain in the hope that results will
justify him in making an attempt to
cross the ocean by the same means. =

anomalies the direct election system is

an important reform and we are GU
rious to see how it will, work. To
certain extent we got little test OF IL
by the Sunday elections. ;, ;,
It had generally been assumed that
the extraordinary events of 1905 had
brought about a lull in the political in
terest, and the comparative calmness OF
the election campaign to which l have
referred above tended to corroborate
this view. The Sunday elections, may,
to certain extent, be described as
contradiction to it. .....
AS I have pointed out in several let

honorable Norwegian with feeling OF
responsibility toward established facts

happily several Journals do not seem to
understand this fact, and by ultra
loyal articles on the new monarchy and
incorrect statements on the position
taken up by the left wing Of the liberal
party, they are actually undermining
stead of propping it up.
A Case in Point.
One Of the Sunday elections is an
example so far. In South Gudbrands-
dalen they had lately representative
by the name of Mr.. Enge. This gentle
man was true supporter of the gov
eminent in 1905, and went in for the
monarchy in the short fortnightly com.
paign which resulted in the election of
our present king. He subsequently be-
came a member of the deputation ap-
pointed by the storthing to go to Co,
penhagen to inform Prince Charles Of
his being elected king Of Norway. Last
| Sunday Mr.. Enge, who in November
was supported by his electors, was
| beaten by his radical adversary by a
majority of nearly 500. This fact
points to change in public opinion
which is we'll worth attention, espe-
cially in America, where numerous Nor;

ton festivities no doubt think of

what they really are.
I need hardly add that the import:
ance of the Sunday elections must not
be exaggerated, but their radical turn
has created attention all over the
country and the conservative and mod
crate factions openly confess their I'M

~ HRIsTIANIA, NORWAY, Aug. 7.
After an electioneering cam
paign which has created compar'
ative1y little interest, the first elections
for, the storthing session ct Ct l?o6;o0
took place on Sunday in Christian
Amt. This county, which includes the
well-known districts of Totem and
Hadeland, between Lake Misen and
Lake Randsfiord and the great valleys
of Valdres and Gudbrandsdalen, IS
from political point of view very
interesting piece of Norway, owing to
the fact that farmers and industrial Ia
borers there are more mixed than per
haps in any other district. The new
election system practiced for the first
Time on this occasion also makes the
election somewhat. of an event, and L
shall sketch the system in few words
as the background Of the whole sltua-
tion. $3.50.
The new election law, by which the
direct election system was introduced
in our public life, is dated May Is,
1905. From 1914 up to the present
elections all Norwegian storthings have
been elected according to the indirect
constituency met at the polls and elect
ed number of delegates Gin the pro-
portion of one to every fifty voters IN
town and one to every hundred in the
country to the district convention, in
which the electoral representatives
chosen at polls met and elected repre-
sentatives to the storthing. From va
rious reasons this system had gradually
become more and more obsolete, espe-
cially in the greater towns and at
Christiania, where we finally had 10000
voters, electlng a district convention OF
800 members who on their side elected
four representatives to the storthing.
1t goes without saying that this system
was extremely cumbrous, and the need
of reform therefore became obvious,
the more so as the representatives to
the stor1thing in many cases were d.
rectly designated by papers and party
organizations and only had to undergo
the indirect election as a sort of for
mality which was by no means in con-
formity either with the spirit or the
letter Of the election law.
How the New Law Works.
By the new law Norway is divided
in 1923 constituencies, the system being
one representative to the storthing
from each constituency. Each of the
eighteen counties Of the country is di-
3 vided into constituencies, the number
of which corresponds to the number of
representatives to the storthing granted
to tn? county in question a1 BY the con-
one representative are still considered
case when two or more towns have one
representative. An example so far is
the three towns On the Lake Miosen
Hamar, Lillehamn{er and Gjovik, which
in connection with Kongsvinger, miles
and miles away, form only one constit-
uency. ~.

spirited debate on the question of re-
moving the restrictions from the al
lotted lands of the Choctaws, Chero-
KEGS. Chickasaws, Creeks and Semi
noles. except full-bloods After an
amendment to suit those who ia
vored it a point of order was made
against the provision and sustained
by the vice president. Senator Spoon
err was the particular champion of
the Indians in preventing the removal
of restrictions, but Senators Teller,
Long and others who favored the
amendment charged that he was mis-
guided in his zeal, as the Indians
themselves wanted to be permitted to
seek a market for their surplus lands.
Bailey argued that the removal of the
restriction was in the interest of the
white settler and that the future OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory de-
pended upon getting farmers on these
lands before the price became too
high for settlers to buy. This appeal
had no effect on Senator Spooner,
