 NEW NORTHERN ROUTE
Will Endeavor to Find Channel to
 Siberian Russia

LONDON, Dec. 14.-A new chapter is now being added to the romantic history of Sir Ernest Shackelton'S trusty ship the Nimrod. It has left the southernmost seas for the north ermost; has forsaken the union jack for the plain red, white and blue flag of the Russian merchant service and is preparing he way for new grain route between Siberian Russia and England
 The Nimrod is lodging the ice floes in the Arctic seas in the endeav- or to establish a permanent series of wireless navigation signals across the waters of northern Europe. Un- til its task is finished and regular navigation follows, the Nimrod's only companions will be whales, bears and thick hided seals.
 Russia has long been advised to find d more satisfactory outlet for it's north Siberian products than those now existing. The opening up of the trans Siberian railway has in creased rather than lessened this ne cessity. for it has added to the Sibe- rian populace and developed indus tries hitherto practically dormant. Transport by rail, however is ex- tremely costly
 Captain Wiggins, an intrepid nav igator of the Kara and Northern seas, advised Russia many years ago to open a trade route to the north ern ports of Europe through the Kara and Berents sea, and thereby bring Siberian produce into a competitive position with regard to similar com modities from elsewhere.
 Captains Wiggin's proposal to Rus sia was in principle the same as that now about to be proposed in Canada by the opening up of a Hudson bay route to the western states. The proposal was premature. Russia had too many other things to think about and settle while the dangers and un- certainty of the route made the risks greater than the commercial pros poets. Wireless telegraphy was then unknown
 Today the problem no longer ex- ists, wireless telegraphy has provid- ed a key. All that is necessary is to establish wireless stations at inter- vals within the Arctic circle and keep

 Rather unusual and quite amusing to others-was the experience of a man from Pottsville, Pa, who came to New York for a visit to friends who had in- vited him to take Thanksgiving dinner with them. He arrived in New York on the evening before Thanksgiving day. put up at the Knickerbocker and soon after supper went to his room for q good nights rest. Upon awakening the man dressed and prepared himseilf to meet his friends with whom he was to take his turkey dinner When he reached the hotel office. however, he learned to his surprise and chagrin that he had slept all through Thanks giving day, that is. from Wednesday evening till Friday morning. There was nothing for him to do than to take the first train for Pottsville. There is nothing like going to New York for a good nights rest.
 The Speeches. Dinner" has at last arrived and, judging from the approval with which it was received, there seems to every prospect that it will become permanent and popular institution. After dinner speaking has almost be- come lost art. Of course the practice of having speeches after dinner has beer religiously maintained notwith- standing the fact that in majority of cases the speeches delivered were quite inare and extremely lonesome Many diners undoubtedly felt that the prac- tic should be abandoned. but nobody seems to have the courage to take the first step in that direction.
 The innovation was first tried at the recent annual banquet of the Tennes- see society of New York Before the banquet the president of the society, Barron c. Collier and Marshall L. Ha- vey. the chairman of the dinner com- mittee held a conference and discussed the arrangements for the dinner. They came to the conclusion that everybody being tired of the everlasting sameness of the after-dinner speeches, it would be worth while trying the apartment of a speeches. dinner" The experiment proved remarkable success and the members unanimously expressed the opinion that this was the most enjoy able dinner they had ever attended since the founding of the society.

The Presidency
The Anti-Saloon League of Illinois has no recon-
mendatons make with respect to the presidency of
the United States There can be no doubt that every
candidate for president would approve with his sigma
ture any temperance bill being proposed by the
temperance forces at Washington. The Anti-Saoon
League of Illinois is particularly concerned with mat
of legislation within the borders of this state and
these recommendations are confined strictly to the
state of Illinois and candidates for office affecting leg
slaton in Illinois, The voter may vote as he p1eases
upon the question of president and vice PRESIDENT and
at the time vote for any other candidates upon
any other ticket appearing on the ballot.
How Leagues Endorsements Are Made
The endorsements by the Anti-Saloon League of
Illinois, of candidates for Office are made up after
careful investigation of the record and attitude of the
candidates. after careful discussion and consideration
by the field force and the headquarters committee of
the League They are officially passed upon by the
headquarters committee of the Anti-Saoon League
There many candidates who favor the Leagues
program who do not desire public endorsements and
these men, according to their own wish, will not be

Choice Between Friends.


1t should be remembered that in this present cam
pagn the danger Of defeat lies in division of the tenn
perance vote. This has made it necessary for the
League, in many districts, to make choice between
who stand right upon local option legislation and
urge temperance voters to support only the candidate
candidates recommended. There is ample justifca-
ton for this position of the League in the fact that the
League is striving for definite results, and is not en-
gagged in mere educational campaign. The temper
people of the state of Illinois DESIRE among other
measures, county option bill; to procure it they
must have county option votes in the general as
sembly; and to enough votes to pass bill
they must stand united for the candidates recon-
mended.
League Must Stand by the Men Who Have
Stood Right.
If the Anti-Saloon League is to survive and win
its battles, it must a reputation for making it
safe for good men to do right at Springfield Accord
dinghy, in making up these recommendations the
League gives special mention and special recon-
mendatlon to those candidates who have already
served in the general assembly and whose records are
worthy Of commentator. These men are designated
by the placing of astersk () before their names
right record is the best evidence of right attitude
and the services of these should be remembered
by the temperance voter election day.
