Revolutionary War.
The Job Of keeping this boundary
marked Is no small one. Very prop
erly 1t is in the hands of one Of the
men who worked, sWeated, and froze
for years to flx the boundary
Thomas Riggs. American member Of
the International Boundary Commits
sion. The Canadian Commissioner Is
the Honorable Noel Ogilvie, who SO
years ago, was young surveyor work.
ing side by side with Mr.. Riggs In the
Cascade Mountains.
Mr.. Riggs was born in Baltimore, q
graduate Of Princeton, 1894 He fol-
lowed Greeley's advice-went west. In
1897 he joined the first Klondike rush.
Il got there worth nothing. and came
back with nothing" he says. But,
he adds, that he panned enough
gold to keep alive through four years
OF frontier life. He sought gold again
in Utah for two years. then started
boundary work for the Government
spending three years in the Rocky
Mountains, another six on the Alaskan
border.
The United States Commissioner
has lived in remote places and looks
1t. He has the direct eyes OF men
who for years have looked over open
spaces. He has the ruddy complex
ion that comes from outdoor life.
During his years on boundary sur
veys he had to pull in his belt" on
many occasions; he has been snufYed
over by grizzly bear, shipwrecked
in Disenchantment Bay $50 named by
Spanish explorers who sought north
west passage to Asia). He went
through smallpox epidemic 65 miles
north Of the Arctic Circle.
Mr. Riggs built the Alaskan Rail-
road for the Government. During the
World War ne was governor Of the
territory. He left Alaska when the
late President Harding entered the
White House. After life of adven-
ture, he has been given the task he
loves-the maintenance OF this great
boundary, with its 8,l20 markers,
ranging in type from bronze plaques
to the great initial monument at the
4eth parallel, Point Barrows, set by
the original Commission in 1851.
A joint annual inspection with
Canada keeps the boundary markers
in good condition. 1t is a line that
determines jurisdiction in murder
cases, taxation, immigration, customs.

opponent. Mr. J. Mark Wilcox, Is a
Democratic Representative in the
House, who has supported many New
Deal measures, but also opposed some.
He opposed the Presidents court
measure and voted against the Presi-
dents reorganization bill
The issue was sQuarely drawn be-
tween a thoroughgoing New Deal
Democrat and partially anti-New
Deal Democrat. The victory for the
former is striking AS appears from
the figures available when this dis
patch Is written. Mr.. Pepper seems to
have received materially more votes
than all his opponents combined.
Besides Mr.. Wilcox there were three
minor candidates) Not only did Mr..
Pepper receive majority Of the votes
IN the Democratic primary. There
was Republican primary on the same
day, and If all votes in the Republi-
can primary had been cast in the
Democratic primary, and cast against
Mr.. Pepper-Mr. Pepper would still
have had majority over the entire
field, Democratic and Republican
combined
Analysis of the situation reveals one
reason for Senator Peppers popularity.
In the Florida mind he was identified
with Government largesse, money
from Washington. During the cam
paign Florida newspapers contained
advertisements stating that Senator
Claude Pepper pledges his support and
promises to work and vote for the
Townsend plan" for large old-age
pensions. The advertisements in
cluded what purported to be a copy
Of letter Senator Pepper sent to "all
Townsend clubs in the State" In this
letter Mr.. Pepper was represented as
stating that he would work for, sup
port, and vote for at every opportu-
nifty" bill in Congress which under
takes to give legal effect to a modifl-
cation OF the Townsend plan.

In addition to believers in the Town.
send plan, it is likely that others who
believe in Government spending sup
ported Mr.. Pepper. Undoubtedly
President Roosevelt's recent proposal
for Government spending, coming at
the height Of the Florida campaign
coupled with the fact that Mr.. Pepper
Is a thoroughgoing supporter of the
President. must have helped him.
As to whether Mr. Roosevelt's pro-
posed pump printing" would help the
country toward business recovery
there may be question-indeed. there
Is most serious question. But there
can be no doubt that this proposal
coming just at the time when spring
primaries all over the country are be-
ginning. tends to help nominate New
Deal Democrats. as against Democrats
who oppose the New Deal.
Several consequences will flow from
the Pepper victory in Florida. Mr.
Roosevelt will be cheered by it. He
! will be likely to be more aggressive
