MONDAY, MARCH 1 ,1920
CHAMP CLARK’S OPINION
An echo of the Sulzer-Wickersham
contested election case of the last
session of congress was heard in the
house of representatives on February
3, when Representative Blanton of
Texas, who is building up a reputa
tion similar to that held by the late
Representative Holman of Indiana, as
“the watchdog of the treasury,” pro
pounded the following question to
former Speaker Champ Clark:
“I want to ask the gentleman if, in
the last contested election case in
Alaska, the losing party to that con
test, after having drawn his salary for
practically two whole years, after hav
ing drawn his secretary’s salary for
practically two whole years, did not,
in addition to that, draw several thou
sand dollars’ mileage and also his
$2,000 of expenses?”
The veteran Democratic leader in
the lower house replied:
“Of course he did! I do not know
anything about the figures, but I will
guarantee the fact to be that both of
those gentlemen from Alaska spent
more than the $2,000 allowed by con
gress; and I will make one further
postscript to these remarks, namely,
that if Sulzer had made the same kind
ef an argument before the elections
committee that he made on the floor
of the house they never would have
seated Wickersham. He had no busi
ness in here, anyway, on that occa
sion.”
It will be remembered that Wicker
sham was allowed to address the
hoMse on “that occasion.”
EXPEDITION TO THE ARCTIC
Secrets of Baffin Land, one of the
portions of the Arctic still unexplored,
will be the objective of the MacMillan
expedition which is in preparation now
for departure in the summer of 1921.
Although the region was visited sev
eral times before the Pilgrims crossed
the Atlantic to Cape Cod, Baffin Land,
from the point of view of explorers
and scientists, is still one of the rich
est and most alluring fields of re
search in the North.
Its whole western shore, more than
1,000 miles in length, is but vaguely
defined on the charts. Eskimo have
told wonderful tales of vast lakes and
towering mountains in the interior,
but white men have never visited that
section. Its flora and , fauna have
never been studied; little is known
of the movements of the tidal cur
rents along its shores; and facts of
geology, mineralogy and meteorology
await the coming of scientific observ
ers.
The party headed by Donald Mac
Millan, Peary’s lieutenant on the ex
pedition that reached the North Pole,
plans to leave Boston about July 1,
1821, and to reach Baffin Land in less
than a month, with good luck. The
following winter will be spent on the
western shore, in latitude 69. The
camp will probably be just south of
the entrance of the dangerous Fury
and Hecla strait, where the ships of
Captains Parry and Lyon .seekers of
a northwestern passage, were blocked
a century ago. That is 160 miles
north of the Arctic circle, and 700
miles south of Etah, on the shore of
northwestern Greenland, where Mac
Millan’s Crocker Land expedition
passed four winters.
During the winter attempts will be
made by dog teams to explore the
coast northward, and in the following
summer the interior of the island
will be penetrated. The plans for the
expedition call for an absence of two
years from this country. In case a
longer stay is necessary, no relief ex
pedition will be sent, according to
present arrangements. If the ship is
crushed in the ice the party plans to
retreat by dog teams to Fort Churchill,
the trading post at the foot of Hudson
bay, and to return to civilization by
way of Northwestern Canada.
The schooner Bowdoin, named for
the college of which MacMillan is a
graduate and a present faculty mem
*■> "A A
ber, will carry the expedition. It is
expected that the vessel, which has
been especially designed for the work
^required of it, will be launched at East
Booffhbay, Me., the coming summer.

New Woman Voter Is All Dressed Up;
Is Anyone Getting Ready for Her? **
.. . - ■. -
By HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON, Ohio Suffrage Association
—— - - - --
The women of the United States are on the eve of political enfran
chisement. The national amendment will undoubtedly be ratified by 36
states before the election of 1920. Now that women are ready, the ques
tion is, where will they go? They are not partisan. They have no po
litical inheritance. They have considered themselves Republicans or Demo
crats because' their fathers or husbands are, but distinctly not from any
love of the party itself. Where will they go?
The new women voters are shocked at the high cost of living. They
know what the trouble is. They know that the men at the head of the
great trusts are grinding the people. The powerful corporations contribute
vast sums to the treasuries of the political parties. Women are saying:
“If the political parties as now constituted cannot be divorced from beef
and steel without dying, then let them die. Let us get a new party, one
that is not afraid.”
Again, women are unalterably opposed to war. When women had
no power they could only weep, but this is now a day for action, not for
tears. The political leaders say that no political party can live which does
not accept this so-called League of Nations along with universal training
and a standing army and side treaties. Well, let it die!
The new woman voter is all dressed up and nowhere to go. The
question is: “Is any one wise enough to prepare a place for her?”
