than SIR Roy Chapman Andrews
showed when he ran out Of motor oil
on the Cobb desert We quote Mr..
Andrews exploit as he narrates it in

We were returning to Kalgan from

We made our discovery Since the

We could not 90 much farther, we
were debating what 10 do. Then as our

Rivers Peculiar Movement.

The Colville, the largest Alaskan
river emptying into the Arctic ocean.
for much Of its course lies higher titan
one side Of its own valley, and is grad
ually sliding down hill, writes Robert
F. Wilson in ST. Nicholas. The river
flows north parallel to an eastern range
of hills and actually part way up the
slope of the hills. so that if the
streams western bank were cut, the
water would abandon the present bed
and flow down into the bottom of the
valley. The western side of the river
is deep, where the current is eating in
TO the bank year after year, but the
eastern side shadows out into broad,
stony beach which shows by its great
width how far the river has already
Travelled sideways, The explanation Of
the Colville's eccentric conduct is that
after it formed its bed and valley, as
normally behaved river does, there was
later contortiOn of the earth's crust,
lifting the stream bodily part way up

the river has been trying to get down

A "CL0SE-UP" VIEW
OF w. A. GARFIELD

Who is this courageous man who
goes forth TO do battle with that old
Roman in politics-La Toilette?
This question came in over the state
with the Endorsement Of ". A. Gan
field for United States senator at the
Milwaukee conference on June l, at
tended by 1000 delegates. men and
women, representing every county in
Wisconsin,
Folks wondered what sort of a
chance a college president could have
against Fighting Bob, and now they
are finding quick convincing ans
wer in the Garfield campaign, for the
college president has turned out to
be neither mild nor academic, but a
candidate with a stiff punch.
Garfield is striking both in personal
appearance and style of oratory. Even
as Lincoln's appearance excited com
ment and interest, Ganfeld's appear
ance has become a subject of wide
interest as he goes on in his state
wide tour. which will take him into
all the larger cities AID among the
folks out in the corn fields.
Almost over night he has risen to
first place in the public interest. AS
Garfield rises to address an audience,
ones interest becomes conferred in
his peculiar complexion which was
left unusually dark following a nearly
fatal seige Of Illness when he was a
young man hack on the farm of his
father. In one less powerful in per-
sonal appeal, this might prove a dis.
advantage, but not so with Garfield.

-
Norris pointed out. They are nee-
essary part of every plan OF cleo
tion machinery where the citizen Is
given the freedom OF voting as ne
pleaEes. No such provisions, how
ever, can apply 70 President and
Vice President SO long as the cleo
torai college remains as part Of
our Constitution.
III the electoral college were
abolished then independent candi-
dates for President could have
their names placed upon the oficial
ballots OF the various States by
complying with the method pro-
vided by State statutes" the SEN
ator contended. The abolishment
Of the electoral college would make
it not only possible, but practical
for the people to disregard party
entirely and elect independent can
didates to the Offices Of President
and Vice President. In addition to
this, such change would have the
beneficial effect Of restraining po-
litical leaders and machines from
imposing upon the party and the
people, unworthy candidates for Of
nee. II the electoral college were
abolished an Independent candidate
for President would be not only q
possibility, but probability when
ever the conventions of the great
political sparties were manipulated
and controlled by unfair and dis
honorable means.
Under present conditions Il Is
an impossibility for any voter to
vote for a candidate for President
on one ticket, and a candidate for
Vice President on another ticket.
Neither can he vote for President
without. at the same tine. voting
for Vice President. II the voter Is
in favor of the candidate for Presi-
dent on one ticket and the candi-
date for Vice President on a differ
ent ticket II Is a physical impossi-
bility, under existing conditions, for
him to register his choice. and yet
1t must be admitted that in a free
country, IL we are in reality per-
mitting the people to rule. and to
select by their votes their President
and Vice President, II Is necessary
that such choice should be free and
untrammeled. and the voter sffould
be allowed to vote for any person
for either one of the Offices and
have such vote counted as cast.
Such right, in fact. Is fundamental
in free country.
The effect of eliminating from
the constitution Of the United States
the ancient and useless electoral
college would be to give the citi-
zen free and untrammeled right
to vote for President and Vice Pres
ident 1t would place the ONCE of
President of the United States
within the hands Of the people
themselves, where 1t is now sup
posed to be, but as a matter of
fact, on account OF the electoral
college. it Is beyond the control of
the people. and is under the control
OF manipulated conventions"
