Captain Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, the
Arctic explorer, is in Washington
working out his plans for an expedi-
ton to cross the Arctic Ocean by way
of the North Pole. 1t is the purpose
of Captain Baldwin to enter the pack
ice to the northwest of Point Barrow,
Alaska in 1913, and to make fast to
a large ice foe which he states will
be carried along just as a car is drawn
by a cable. In four years time the
ship and the expedition will have fol
lowed mechanically in straight cours-
es over the northern curviture of the
earth. crossing the Pole. Captain
Baldwin has converted scientists to
the belief that his plan is feasible and
correct, and that through the use of
a ship which annot be crushed by
ice packs, that his plan cannO help
but succeed. But one wonders how
any man can lay out a program which
requires so much patience and hard
work as that involved in this enter
prise.
ponr,ortotuo Harry Chairman OF
the Committee on Rules, asserts tha'
he has received sufficient assurance
from leaders in both branches OF Con
gress to pass a measure to change the
date of the date of the Presidential
inauguration from March 4th to the
last Thursday in April. This legisla
ton has been attempted at different
times for a hundred years.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c., May II.
Special to Register.
Both South Dakota Congressman
made speeches on the Democratic free
list bill. Mr.. Burke devoted consid-
cradle of his time to showing where
In the great policies OF William Nc
Kinley in reference to reciprocity had
not been the basis for the present leg
islation in reference to the Canadian
arrangement. He defended the Re-
publican party, and ~recounted the fail
ures of the Democrats. In reference
to the free list" bill he said: There
Is no probability that the bill will ever
become a law, and IL there was. you
gentlemen on that side of the House
would never have brought 1t in here.
It is a buncombe bill pure and simple.
and one framed for the purpose Of
fooling the farmers OF the country;
but | want TO say to you, my Demo
cretic friends, that the American
farmer of today is too we'll informed
and is just as capable of knowing
what is good for him as Is any other
citizen. and you can not fool him
with any such claptrap of free-trade
proposition as is embodied in the
pending bill" Further on in his re-
marks he said that "for a half century.

TIMES OF this Republic have been
shaped by the Republican party. For
fourteen years last past the uninter'
rupted control of the Government OF
the departments has been intrusted
to this party, and under it's wise pol
icies during these years the country
has experiences an industrial devel.
cpment, and all classes of our people
have enjoyed n degree OF general pros
perty, that has been without parallel
in all history" In closing the speech
he made an appeal to the Republicans
which brought forth prolonged ap-
piause. Mr.. Burke said: Let us on
this side of the Chamber have the
courage to support the policies that
are justified by experience and known
/ to be conductive to the welfare and
prosperity Of u people. Let US also
have the courage to resist all attacks
of the opponents of the policy OF pro
lection In whatever form and from

whatever source the opposition may
come. In other words, let the Re-
publicans of this body keep the faith
that has been handed down to us from
Lincoln to Mckinley"
Mr.. Martin in his speech remarked
that, Now that a minority Of high
protection Republicans have joined
with the majority of freetrade Demo
Gratis to place all agricultural products
on the free list so far as our great
competitor to the north, Canada, is
concerned. it is not an easy matter
for a Republican who believes i'm
plicity in scientific protection as de-
fined in the Chicago national platform
OF 1908, to keep his bearing at all
times in this Chamber" He said, that
he certainly would not oppose the
course OF the Democracy in this bill
TO administer some free-trade medi-
cine TO the high-tariff manufacturer
protectionists on this side Of the
Chamber. and the probability is that
when the time m for me to cast
be in accordance with that sugges-
ton" After a complete discussion Of
the issues involved in the carrying
out Of the present Democratic pro-
gram, Mr.. Martin said: THE worst
is yet to come. We shall have a fair
test of Democratic ~tinkering with the
tariff, as We have already had once
in my lifetime. History will repeat
itself. Republicans will come again
back to their faith. They will realize
that they cannot. and that they ought
not if they could. place in operation a
protective system that ignores the
American producer of food products.
Out of it all we will have a political
revolution that will bring back. with
out its former defects, the American
Republican protective system"
