moon, leaving a band apparently
equal to about one.ffth of its
surface across the bottom. When
the eclipse was at it's height, the
edge of the covered portion of
the moon could be dimly discern.
ible through the shadow, the rim
of the heavenly body appearing
like FURNISHED copper.
The eclipse lasted until about
1 o'clock. 1t had been caused

DEMOCRACY RESTORES
u. S. FLAG TO SEAS

During fifty years Of democratic
freedom of the seas and of commerce
following Thomas Jefferson, 80 per
cent of American commerce on the
high seas was carried in American
ships. During fifty years of republi-
cali high tariffs and hide-bound sea
traffic, our merchant marine dwindled
until only 8 per cent of American
commerce was carried in American
bottoms. Under the democratic ship
registry act of 1914, both the number
of merchantmen carrying the Ameri.
can flag and the percentage of COM
merce carried in American bottoms
have more than doubled. Moreover,
under democratic tariff and shipping
laws, the United States in 1915 has
become both the leading commercial
nation and the leading ship building
country of the world. All this coun-
try required, the facts show, was to
cut lose from it's republican swad-
ding clothes.

EARLY RECORD EXPLORATION

Another journal of explorations of
the Missouri river through the Dako.
TIA country prior to the Lewis and

by the historical society of Wiscon-
sin. In 1887 James Mckay came to
the Missouri from Canada by way Of
Winnipeg to the Mandans. later set
Ting near st. Louis. In 1906 he was
entrusted by Governor Trudeau with
the commercial interests of the Span
iafds on the upper Missouri. He built
q post at the Omahas, near Sioux
City, and from there dispatched John
Evans to the tribes up river. When
Evans reached White river, Just be-
low Chamberlain, he was met by
big band of the Sioux Of the Big Bend,
and was pursued long distance
down river as he scurried back to the
Omaha post for protection. The fol-
lowing year, 1896, he bribed his way
through the Sioux country as far AZ
the Arickards at the mouth Of Grand
river, who determinedly refused to
allow him TO go on to the Mandans.
they seized his goods and required
him to stay and trade with them.
After his goods were gone they allow
ed HIM to go up to the Mandans.
