 Cut By Fiords
 "Ellesmere Island is 300 miles wide at the point of grcatest width, but the land is so cut into by deep fiords that in many places the waters of the eastern and western sides lie. only 50 to 75 miles apart, distances that can be covered quickly by dog teams These fiords, reaching to- ward each other from the opposite sides of the island, mark out the two or three routes that have been used so far by expeditions crossing the island It follows, therefore, that Ellesmerc Island is known chiefly along three narrow bands one be- tween Grant Land and Grinnell Land. one near the middle of the island, and third toward the south end. Explorers have also traverscd the entire coast of the is- land. The southern coast, covered by Sverdrup in 1899. was the last of the coastland 10 come under close scrutiny.
 "Dcspite the fact that ElIcsmerc Island Is perhaps better known than any of the other Arctic lands north of North America, knowleuss ot it Is confined largely 10 the coasts and the ford crossings.

 Phosphorus is very important element of every living cell in your body. Without the necessary supply, keen minds grow dull and often stu pid; old-time ambition vanishes and a wrctched feeling of exhausted power supplants that once indomit- able spirit so necessary to success in

ELLESNERE ISLE

MacMllan Plans to Give It
 Careful Scrutiny

Washington, b. C. June 12.-"El- lesmere Island. the second nearest known land to the North Pole, IS 10 get the closest scrutiny 1t has ever had bywhite men as one re- suit of the MacMillan Arctic Expo dition," says d bulletin from thn Washington, D. C.. headquarters of Inc National Geographic Society. This land lies at the head ct. Balfin Bay. tho broad water highway 10 the Arctic which is enclosed on one side hy Greenland and on the other by l}afiin island" continues the Bull lutin.
 William EaItin, for whom the bay anI island are named, vas the first uh'c man 10 catch d glimpse of the unknown land which came later 10 be called Ellesmere Island, That was in 16lG; but is was only glimpse and other Arctic explorers were so long in duplicating Baffin's farthest north that there came to he serious doubt Of the existence of El- jpSmere Island.
 Existence Doubted More Than Two
 Centuries
 The land was not sighted again until 1852. The first white man 10 set foot on it was Dr. Hayes, member of kane's expedition in 1854. After Hayes explored an isol- ated section Of the shore, the land gradually emerged from the tradi- tiona into inc real; but as in other Of the northern discoveries different explorers discovered various head lands and pcninsulas independently and dubbed each a land. Hayes portion, the east coast of the north central section of the big island, be- came GJnnell Land. The north end, along the Polar Sea. became Grant Land. Other names which have stuck to localities of Ellesmere Island are North Lineoln',-para. doXially the southernmost portion King Oscar Land, Bear Cape Land, and 'Jesup Land.

Wealth and Peace

A humorist commenting on our national wealth Of $500,
o~0o0O0o00, suggests that the information be withheld from the
people of Europe The implication being that the Europeans
will Immediately set to work to get some of that wealth away
from us. More seriously it has been suggested that European
nations in debt to the United States will use our Astounding
prosperity as an argument for something more than sener.
osity on our part There may be force in this plea If Europe
contrasts our increase in wealth since 1917 with her own ac-
tual losses. Figures of national wealth are at best estimates
to which a broad Interpretation should be given. If to the
money values for the present wealth of Great Britain, France
and other nations We apply the present price indexes so as
to obtain a real comparison with 1912, the relative impoverish-
ment of Europe is established.
The one argument that has no force at all is the one, still
heard now and then, that while Europe has been impoverished
by the war, America has been enriched by the war. Emphati-
cally that is not the case. If we take the census bureaus fig
ures on our national wealth in 1900 and 1912, we get an indi-
Gated increase from ss5 billion dollars to 1868 billion dollars.
Since the price index for 1912 was approximately onc-third
higher than for 1900, the figures for 1912 should be corrected
downward. for the purpose of comparison, to something like
40 billion dollars. But even that would show an increase of
more than 80 billion dollars during the twelve years after 1900
or something like 90 per cent.
No such rate of increase is evidenced during the years of
1912 TO 1922. Professor MILFORD l. King declares that the cen,
sus bureau figures indicate an increase of IL per cent in our
national wealth between 1912 and 1922. Obviously then, Amer,
lea did not grow rich on the World war. The wide discrepancy
between our real gains in the twelce years after 1900 and the
ten years after 1917 indicates, on the contrary, that America
would have been richer today if the latter period had not been
troubled by four and a half years of war conditions in Eu-
rope and a year and a half of our actual participation in war.
Professor King finds our modest growth in wealth since 1912
understandable if we recall that during two of these ten years
a large part of the productive activities of the nation were de.
voted to the production of materials destroyed in the war"
Reasons exist why a prosperous America should give ear to
the pleas of a relatively hardup Europe. But America as a
bloated war profftcer is not among those reasons.

Slow in Action

Iowa Republicans have come out of their somnolent politi.
cal condition and have discovered that Smith Brookhart Sc.
cured his election to the United States senate on the Republi.
can ticket by fraud and deceit. The rest Of the country was
aware of this fact when the nomination occurred, and long
before the November election the slightest doubt to tho con.
trary was removed. Since the election the United States senate
Republican majority has repudiated MI. Brookhart as a party
member and as a beneficiary under Republican party rule.
Iowa Republicans would now do what they should have
done some months ago, disown Mr.. Brookhart and declare the
office to which he was elected under false pretenses, vacant,
AMI proceed to fill it by choosing a bonafide, loyal Republi
can to represent them in the United States senate.
The resolutions passed by the Republican state committee
of Iowa are true and none too strong in condemnation, in fact
not strong enough when repudiating and casting out a traitor
like Brookhart.
Now, If the senate committee on privileges and elections
can see and recognize the fraud perpetrated by Brookhart,
Iowa may yet be represented by the sort of honest party man
she desires.
The blame to be placed upon Iowa Republicans is that they
were bluffed by Brookhart, were spineless in tho action they
should have taken at the time to keep. their party clean and
honest before the voters.

The start OF tho Wheeler case was
a technical matter of this kind.
Since then. there has been whisper
ing that further evidence has de-
veloped. Washington has been full
OF rumors but many of them are
discounted because the department
of justice under the Daugherty
regime had a reason for exposing
the Montana senator II it-could and
until the evidence is made public
the burden of proof will remain on
the accusers.
So the senate VII probably con-
firm Mr.. Stone. which means his
elimination from the Wheeler case.
Should 1t ultimately turn out that
the proceedings were ~baseless, 1t
would be a subject for debate as to
the wisdom OF tho appointment and
since the radicals have been attack
ing the judiciary right along, they
probably will make the most of the
incident in their next campaign
President Coolidge stands by Har-
Ian Stone. however. and has not for
a moment considered withdrawing
the nomination. He takes full re.
sponsibility for Mr.. Stone. just as
he does for all his federal appoint
ments, and 1t will be interesting TO
see how many votes of the minority
party in the senate are cast for Mr..

Enjoy Immunity

Leaders of the movie industry are easily in a position to
show that the alleged evil influence of the silver screen on
morals is grossly exaggerated. This would be established by
showing that the number of people exposed to the influence of
the movie is much smaller than is commonly supposed. Out of
every 100 male adult Americans who drop in at a picture show,
it is probable that from fifty to sixty Immediately go to sleep.
1t is true that this immunized section of the public is Of an
age when its morals would suffer no impairment even if it
kept awake. Yet facts are facts. Perhaps it might be shown
that a counterbalance to the supposedly vicious effect on the
young is supplied by these scores of thousands of adult movie
fans who leave the theater much refreshed by a short but Wig.
orous nap and are thus transformed into cheerful, active, in.
teligent fathers, husbands and citizens.

Time For Action

Half the forty day session has elapsed and not a single act
of outstanding consequence has come out of the session. Tn.
less the defeat of the child labor amendment can be so re.
garded. If there were more killing of foolish and useless bills
the record would be improved. The same old inclination to
create new commissions and bureaus, and add more govern.
ment to business has cropped up in several recent bills. The
bank bill in the senate and the waegele state police bill in
the house are two such. No one goes cunning for such super.
fluous employment already in existence, and It is certainly
open season on all such things. A half million dollars OF tax.
payers money could be handily saved, by relieving certain
swivel chair lizards of jobs which mean nothing in the gov.
eminent of this state, but expense to the people.
Every bill that shows up in either branch of the lepisla.
ture, and which contemplates the creation Of new commits.
sions and new employments OF any kind, regardless of its merit
otherwise, should be led to the chopping block.
All of these old or new activities should be placed under
the direction of elective and responsible officers Of the state.
