f. w. ID. HOLWAY ON MT. GEIKE
Former DeCOrahian First Man TO
Climb Mt. Geike i'm Canadian
Rockies.

eopy VI the minneapolis Daily
News reaches our desk with the
Following interesting article aon.
corning E. w. D. Holway, a form
er well known Decorahian and off
Ger of the Winneshiek County State
Bank:
h. w. d. Holway of Excelsior
assistant professor of botany in the
University of Minnesota, in com.
pany with DR.. Gilmour of New
York, succeeded Wednesday in
successfully climbing to the ton OF
Mount Geike, one of the highest
and most precipitous peaks in the
Rocky mountains in Canada. This
is the first time the peak was ever
scaled by human beings. The ascen,
was to height of 11,1O6 feet.
The task of struggling up the
Jagged rocks and over slippery
ice and snow might be discouraglns
to much younger and agile men,
for Prof. Holway is so years of age,
but active and strong for his years.
Mountain climbing has been his
hobby for many years. Two years
ago he was the first man to climb to
the peak of Mount Sanford in the
Selkirk range in British Columbia.
some 10 or II years ago he did
some climbing in the European
Alps.
Climbs for Sport.
All his excursions have had a
two fold object. He likes the noun
tain climbing as a recreation and
sport, and combines with this the
advantage of getting new specimens
of flora for botanical study.
Professor Holway left his home
in Excelsior about July Is on his
mountain excursion, and his wife
had received no news from him I'M
til informed this morning by The
Daily News that Mr.. Holway had
been successful in his mountain as
cent.
Il am glad to hear he is we'll and
successful said Mrs. Holway. "ie
is enthusiastic about mountain
climbing. He always has been,
though it has been his lot to live
most of the time in mountsinless
country. We came to Minneapolis
about 10 years ago, and then moved
to Excelsior. Before that we lived
in DEBORAH, Iowa. 1t was while liv-
ing there that M. iIolway went
abroad and secured his first taste
for mountain climbing by a visit to
the Alps.
Seeks Unknown Flora.
There lie learnci the mountains
had been very wei. explored. Naur-
ally his thoughts tu"red &C The un-
explored heights in America, and
he has since legged or excursions
to the mountains. OF course, he
seeks botany specimens while on
the trips, and hopes to find some
hitherto unknown flora of the
1t is possible that when Prof.
Holway returns to his teaching at
the university this fall he will have
with him many hitherto unknown
and unanalyzed plants. Mrs. Holway
expects him to return the first week
of September. DR.. Gilmour of New
York, who is with Prof. Holway on
mis- present excursion, is an old
friend Of the university instructor,
and has accompanied him on previ-
BUS climbing trips"

HENRY RUEN, Sec'y.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-08

Answering the question as to just
what training he would recommend
for military purposes, Col. Roosevelt
picked up copy of his latest book,
America and the World War;" and
read the following:
"AII our young men should be
trained in actual field service under
war conditions, preferably on the
Swiss, but if not on the Swiss, then
on the Argentine or Chilean model.
The Swiss model would probably be
better for our people. 1t would ne
cessitate only four to six months
service shortly after graduation from
high school or college, and thereafter
only about eight days year. No

man could buy a substitute. All
would serve in the ranks on precisely
the same terms, side by side.
under this system the young men
would be trained to shoot, to march,
to take care of themselves in the
open, and to learn these habits of self
reliance and law-abiding obedience
which are not only essential to the
efficiency of a citizen-soIdiery, but
are no less essential to the efficient
performance of civic duties, in free
democracy.
My own firm belief is that this sys-
tenn would help us in civil quite as
much as in military matters. 1t would
increase our social and industrial ef
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-08

He thinks the training would be
fine for the young men and the eIty's
sanitation would be improved. some
influential people would then know
about what was happening and how
it ought to happen.
The colonel would apply the same
thing to all the dirty jobs done in the
public interest. He said he has not
vet worked out the details of his idea.
"Of course" he put in parenthet-
icaIIy, sit will be Denounced as Social
istic, but If this is Socialism, ! am
for it!'
In general it is Col Roosevelt's idea
that the male citizen should be
obliged by law to tender himself at
certain age for his year of service in
the industrial army. He would be
treated as men are treated in the
training camps-be examined as to
his physical fitness and ability to do
certain kinds of work, and then be as
signed to that work. 1t might be work
on public improvements like roads,
bridges, forestry, harbor improve
ment, reclamation of sWamps or arid
lands, construction of public build
ings, work in arsenals, navy yards or
government factories, or municipal
services such as garbage and refuse
collection, street cleaning, sanitation
and public health service, or it might
be work as a member of the army of
laborers needed to meet personal re-
quirements, like harvesting the crops.
In any case, the man would work
under supervision. In many instances
he would be taught how to work and
would learn how to live in the open
and take proper care of himself and
his surroundings. 1t is the coloners
idea that such compulsory service in
the industrial army would tend to
demecratize the country - break
down the artificial social and class
prejudices between the man who
works with his hands and the man
who works with his brain, or simply
