This magazine stands for fair play.
And so here are a few facts that it

very early in life. He was a news
boy, clerk at a fruit-stand, a sta
ton agent, a bookkeeper. His am
bition to get an. education led him to
New York, worked his way through,
got his degree, and finally, also was
graduated in the medical, depart
uient.
He was surgeon of the Peary arc
tic expedition in 1S91-1892. Also.
he was surgeon of the Belgian Ant
arctic expedition in 1S97-98-99. He
has received the degree of the Order
of Leopold, the gold medal of the
Belgian Royal Society. the silver
medal of the Belgian Royal Geo
graphical Society, and a Ph.D. from
The University of Copenhagen.
On July 3rd, 1907. DR.. Cook sail

the sun went down. His ship was

Cook had bought this vessel and fit

friend, John r. Bradley. Bradley
was intent on going to the coast oi

For twenty-five years the lure of, the

Then a great idea came to Dr.

INDEPENDENT POLITICS

Some newspapers last week
spoke of the awakened interest
in Oregon in politics and stated
that the registration shows that
the republicans outnumber the
opposition two to one, This
week another lot of papers are
telling Of the great strength be-
ing demonstrated by the same
process by the progressive party.
Next week the democrats will
have an inning. When election
day is passed and the returns are
all counted, the actual facts will
be known, and probably not till
then.
1t is a difficult matter nova
days to prognosticate correctly
or with any degree of certainty
as to the result of a political bat
tie. Voters are becoming more
independent each year, and those
who were in the past rank par
tisans of any party are today
voting with an independence good
to contemplate. 1t shows that
voters are reading more than for
merly and are casting their BAL
lots after mature thought and
consideration.
Then, too, in many states, par
ticularly the western states, the
women are now casting a ballot
and no one ever can tell just what
a woman will do, either political
ly or otherwise. This is not
serious matter in politics but
with this element to contend with
the politician is more at sea than
ever. This is one of the main
reasons why universal suffrage
is opposed by some and favored
by others. The professional poll
tician prefers to be able to tell
how things are going, but the in
dependent voter would rather
this class of citizens did not have
quite so much to do with affairs.
The independent voter is prob
ably here to stay and it is to be
hoped his numbers may increase.
