"Care for Our Families" Scott's
Last Words.
The closing words in Captain Scott's
epic were:
Had we lived l should have had q
tale to tell of the hardihood, the en-
durance and the courage of my COM
panions which would have stirred the
heart of every Englishman.
These rough notes and our dead
bodies must tell the tale. But surely,

the bodies of Captain Scott, DR.. Will

18th by Wright's party.
Their concise records, the tale OF
their hope. their suffering and their

Explorer Scott's Polar Achievements.
Capt. Robert F. Scott was forty-five
years old. He served with the British
Royal navy with distinction. His
achievements in the Antarctic earned
him many coveted medals. He ex-
plored the famous Ice Barrier for more
than 400 miles and discovered new
land to the east.
In 1902, Scott pushed south over the
Ice Barrier with his sledging party for
nearly 500 miles, beating by wide
margin the record of 'farthest south"
at that time. In 1908 he travelled 800
miles and returned through the land
of the West.

The casualties are estimated at not

Several Americans have been wound

small. Experience is fast teaching the
citizens to keep out OF the line of fire.

Anticipating early resumption of his

PREVENT REFERRING MEASURES.
State Legislature Finds Way to

Denver.-By the insertion of an
emergency" clause in any bill which
it so pleases to treat, the Legislature
may find a way to prevent the refer
ring of measures passed by it to the
people and in that regard thwart the
initiative and referendum.
First action of this kind was taken
in the House of Representatives when
the good roads commissioner bill was
passed in that body on third and final
reading including the following clause.
which is section 13:
1T is hereby declared that this act
is necessary for the immediate pres
ervation of public safety"
Speaker o. c. Skinner contends that
the clause will prevent referendum
on the bill that might be sought by en-
emies of the measure. The clause is
not the ordinary emergency" clause
attached to emergency bills hitherto
but is one that has been used in Ore
gon bills with special intention to pre-
vent referendums. The Oregon Su-
preme Court has hello that bill con-
tanning the clause cannot be referred.

years legislative scandals havs led
their trails to Cleveland. The attor-
ney general was convinced that esr-
tain interests in Cleveland wsre In

years ago. In the referendum frauds
now the same names are again given

amendments to the house tariff bill
which the committee proposes. He de-
clared the committees downward re-
