On the other hand, our constitu-

itself by its fruits. It has stood the
test of a century and a half. 1t has
proved adequate to the needs Of an
expanding nation. It Is, as govern
mental systems 60 today, both an

over a considerable and critical period
of time.
We have at times fallen into a very
loose habit of attributing our ad-
vancement to our isolation, our racial
strength, our good luck, and to every
thing except one Of the chief factors
our system Of government.
Europe also would be isolated and
unified if the failure of her various
governmental devices had not broken
her up into a series of mutually sus-
picious armed camps. At least twice
in the history Of that continent
(under the Romans and under
Charlemagne) there was the oppor-
tunity to consolidate Europe. Many
causes operated against such q con-
summation, chief among them being
the lack of an adequate system OF
eovernment-thati Is to say, one Ca
pable of preserving the strength OF
local life, while giving 1t the benefit
of association in a gigantic political
system.
At the time Of the breaking away
Of this country from England, polit-
ical philosophers and practical politi-
clans predicted that America would

Montesquieu had shown that at
best popular government could only
extend over q very limited area. Aris-
totle, observing the course OF democ-
racies in Greece, had come to the
same conclusion. France was about
to watch Napoleon step as q dema-
gogue from the pages Of Rousseau
and speedily make himself q depot.
Those who took the trouble to even
glance hastily at Roman history
would have discovered that Caesar
had gone over the same brief and
bloody road, with almost identical
phrases to entice the multitude.
Even after the treaty Of peace end
ing the war with America, the KING
of England was confident that mutual
jealousies and strife would so weaken
the 13 States that they would speeduy
beg to be under him again.
Despite these gloomy predictions

TWO SOVIET SHIPS

Quest of Atlantic Pacific
Passage Aim in "Epi.

BY CHARLES STEPHENSON SMITH
BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, June 18.-The Soviet
government this year will dispatch
two elaborately equipped expeditions
in search of that old phantom of eX-
plorers-a Northern passage from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
Twenty-eight other expeditions,
sponsored by the government, will at
tempt to wrest other secrets from the
Arctic.
Somewhere between the ice foes and
the islands north of Russia and ST.
IBERIA a commercially feasible route of
travel between the oceans exists. many
Russian scientists believe. Prof. Otto
Schmidt tried. among other projects
to map a portion of such a route last
Summer HIS failure, and the heroic
rescue of the professor and his crew,
has fired the imagination of the ma
tion and given a new interest to
Arctic exploration.
Move in Two Directions.
Efforts to force a Northern passage
will be made in both directions. The
icebreaker Litke, commanded by
Bapt. Nikolaev, will start from
Vladivostok June 25 to travel from
East to West. The motorship Knipo-
witch. commanded by Capt. Popov, will
sail Eastward from Murmansk early
in August.
The Knipovitch will not sail through
the Kara Sea, a route formerly taken
by most explorers Instead, it will go
north of Franz Joseph Land and other
known islands. 1t will prove or ex-
plode a theory of Russian scientists
that, because OF the influence of the
far northerly end of the Gulf Stream.
waters north of Franz Joseph Land
are warmer than the sea close to the
bleak Siberian shores
The westbound Litke will have other
missions besides exploration. 1t will
so to Wrangel Island to relieve workers
engaged there for five years. and will
take supplies to outpostS of the Polar
Sea near the mouth of the Lena River.
Explorations by Yermak.
Explorations will be carried on BY
the icebreaker Yermak, which will
sail from Leningrad July l. The Ice
breakers Malyjin and the Yermak will
conduct feet of commercial vessels
on their annual dash through the
Kara Sea to settlements at the mouths
of the Oh and Yenisei Rivers. The
vessels will take merchandise and re-
turn with grain.
Hydroplanes will precede the COM
mercial vessels and direct their course
through the ice foes.
All vessels engaged in Polar travel
this year will be accompanied by

Trichinosls is fatal In about 8 PEI

pork Is thoroughly cooked, there is

danger. That being true, why
didn't he shoot his assailant the
minute he vas attacked?
If we grant that he was armed,
then we admit he was expecting
trouble. But Royce heard nothing
apparently Franklin never even
cried out. My idea Is that he never
had that revolver"

detective.
There's no doubt of that" Car
digan agreed, but people have been

viously, the guilty person was
taking every precaution to conceal
his identity. It seems that he first
planned to borrow his victims gun
for the occasion. After his arrival
in the study, however, he saw Doc
tor Abernathy's dagger hanging
among his trophies on the wall.
The knife was the more silent meth
cd of the two, so he determined TO
s 1t, instead of the revolver. This
presented only one difficulty. For
some reason, not yet apparent to
us, he did not want to leave the
revolver beside the body. And Ger,

sprang to his feet and began a rest

1t was made after his death. The

Sergeant Kilday FASTENED in
search of the Photographic records
which included the finger-prints of
the slain man. The novelist had
been correct. The thumb-print
found on the revolver barrel tailed
exactly with that Of Jim Franklin.
THAT also Identifies another set
of fnger-prints In the study" de-
clared Kilday. "They had already
been matched with this thumb
print. II leaves only one set I'M

novelist. "Just because We don't

her. It's quite possible this fifth
