AND THE DIRECT
PRIMARY.

Political developments of recent
years, and particularly this year, in
which a climax was reached. show
|conclusively that a process of evolu-
ton is working a far reaching
change. In discussing the forces
which are at work breaking up the
old time political machines, Judson
&c. Welliver has probably made a cor
rect analysis of one of the chief agen-
cies in this evolution. He says:
The direct primary is doing the
business. Back of the primary is the
new spirit of determination among
the people to rescue their affairs from
bad control. There have developed
new independence, npartisanship,
and keen concern about everyday af-
fairs. Rural free delivery has car
ried literature and light and nonpar-
tisanship to a vast population for
merIy well nigh denied the chance
to inform itself. The popular peri
odicalS have done a great deal in de-
veloping the new public interest.
TT took a long time for people to
learn that bigoted partisanship was
the handmaiden of corruption and
privilege. Even when they found it
out they did not have tools with
which, to create reforms. It was as

ACRES INUNDATED
BY GLACIER FLOOD
Great Damage Done in Alaska
by Water Which Burst
From Frozen Stream

CORDOVA. Alaska, Dec. 30.-Forest
Ranger George johnson returned today
from an inspection of the Bering gla-
cier region and confirmed the reports
of the great damage done by the flood
which burst from the glacier last
month. Because of. the heavy fall of
snow he was unable to reach the chain
of lakes above the glacier to determine
the cause of the phenomenal food but
he verified stories of enormous dam
age done to the large sweep of country
between the glacier and the sea,
johnson also investigated the where
abouts of H. S. Wise and Kayak Smith.
Wise and Smith escaped injury, but un-
derwent thrilling experiences and in
dured hardships in making their escape
from icebergs and cold water that
swept down the Beripg sea valley. The
two men were asleep in their cabins
on the banks of the Bering river when
the flood bore down on them.
Thinking that the flood would soon
subside, Wise and Smith piled their
belongings on top Of the bed and drew
themselves up to escape the cold water,
which was rapidly rising. They re-
mained in the cabin until the water
rose above the bed, when they took
a canoe and, after a severe struggle
with the flood, reached the high ground
at the Mcdonald coal mine.
Ranger Johnson says that thousands
of acres were swept by the flood and
that the loss to prospectors and home
steaders was heavy. The water in Ber-
ing lake many miles below the glacier,
rose 10 feet within a few hours carry
ing away thousands of feet of cut pill
ing and sawlogs.
