in this ballot each state shall have
only one vote. In the resent house
the democrats have a majority of
sixty odd. Of course, part of
this majority comes from states
where the congressional delegation
includes more republicans than
democrats so that it would be lille
to attempt to make foecasts, it
being impossible to guess, in case
of Roosevelt independent ticket,
how the republicans would vote.
The present congress would deal
with the subject-it exists until
March 4, 1918.
The complications are many.

Massachusetts, for instance. has
four democrats and ten republic
cans: Michigan has two democrats
and ten republicans; Nebraska
has three democrats and three re-
publicans; Maine has two demo-
Gratis and two republicans; Rhode
Island has one democrat and oce
republican. Eleven democrats
represent Illinois districts and that
state has fourteen republican
members, but whether these four
teen. in the last resort, could
unite either on Roosevelt or Taft
rather than let the democrats get
the states one vote, is question.
The same in New York. In the
house that state has fourteen demo-
Gratis and twentv-three republic
cans. In case Taft and Roosevelt
run, would Roosevelt partisans, if
such there be, among these re-
puhlicans, vote for Taft rather than
let the democrats win, or would
they be willing to let New YCrk's
one vote become null and void
because of the failure of the states
congressman to poll a majority
for any candidate, or how will
fractional votes figure out in case
of the states referred to and of
other states?
There can be no forecast. Once,
in the electoral vote, Thomas
Jefferson and Aaron Burr were a
tie. Many Of US have a recoIle =
ton IF the Hayes-Tilden confusion
in 1876. In that case at the
suggestion of influential men, a
commission was created. By vote
of eight to seven it seated Hayes.
The proceeding throughout was
entirely without authority in law.
1t was an emergency transaction
and the result was accepted simply
because of the peoples patient

years old.
For example. II one were displeased

There was not a particle OF doubt

the full glory of his gray summer suit,

on that street Since Arthur was tall
and INTELLECTUALLY designed after the
pattern of the young man who makes

of beauty, 1t is easily seen that there
was nothing for any girl in the neigh
borhood to do but fall desperately in
love with him.
After .Arthur's arrival there began
a perfect surge of girls toward the
Mills residence. 1t appeared that they
all loved Violet half to death and were
sitting up nights planning entertain
ments for her to show their devotion
entertainments to which she was re-
quested to bring along your brother
John-and his guest"
But Elsie Wangness was the most
devoted OF them all. for she took to

Our Unknown World.

Despite the marvellous advance OF
exploration in various parts of the
globe, an estimate as submitted by a
member of the Royal Geographical
society in London shows that no less
than 20,000,O00 square miles Of the
earth's surface yet remain UNEMPLOYED
The largest UNEMPLOYED area is said to
be that In Africa-6, 100000 miles-but
even North America contains 100000
square miles of virgin territory. 1t is
surprising to learn that there are three
times as much land awaiting the foot
OF the pioneer in North America as in
