WINGED would solve two of the three
greatest of arctic problems. These
friends, thoroughly believing in
Amundsen, realized at once the merit
of his arguments and unhesitatingly
Endorsed his scheme. Accordingly the
Gjoa, single masted sloop of forty
seven tons, was designed and con-
structed to weather the toughest of
arctic storms and seas, and on June /,
1903, she sailed away from Christiania
harbor on her long voyage to the
frozen north, and after suffering great
hardships Amundsen gained undyins
fame by being the first to sail a YES
sci completely through the northwest
passage.
Recently the famous little vessel
was beached near the Cliff House, San
Francisco, and moved on rollers to a
pond in Golden Gate park, where it
will commemorate its own and
Amundsen's deeds, having been pre-
sented to the city by the Danish citi-
Zens.

The Fayette County Union saws:

If a democrat editor were to say
what the Odebolt Chronicle, a radical
republican paper, said about President
Taft in the following article, the re-
publicans would rise en- masse and de-
nounce him. But the Chronicle editor
is a republican and therefore allowed
to say: Taft is fraud and faker.
He is traitor who cannot gloss over
his treachery. The country will have
to endure four years of him, but that
will be all. He could not carry single
state today, and there is no danger
that he will regain the popularity he
secuaed by false pretenses. +"
