ENOUGH ARCTIC EXPLORATION
Lieut. Oanenhower Records Himself
as Opposed TO Further Efforts.

WAsHSoros, Aug. 4.-Iieut- Danen-
hover, of Arctic exploration fame, prepared
a paper TO be read at the annual meeting of
the Naval Institute. next October, on the
subject of polar exploration, in which he
takes firm stand against Artlc exploration.
In summing up his conclusions on the sub
ject he says: after having served with one
Artic expedition and having devoted years
to the study of the subject, as well "a having
10 ade watchful observations of numerous
efforts and comparatively insufficient results
attending the sacrifice of human life and
the torture endured, | unhesitatingly record
myself "a opposed to further explorations
of the central polar basin with our Present
resources. The gradual extension of observ-
atory stations in the interest of meteorology,
magnetism and other scientific branches,
should be made, but national support should
not be given to another polar expedition"

The WORK WELL DONE.
The Detroit "News" on the Location
OF the Soldiers Home.

The competition over the location of the
State Soldiers Home has been anomalous N
the history of State institutions. Usually.
when a new institution has been proposed,
not more than two or three points were
competitors for it, and geographical distri-
button has latterly made the duty of choice
of location comparatively easy. But the
Soldiers Home seems To have been COM
peted for by the State at large, without REF
erence TO the location of other institutions.
The large number of points visited by the
Legislative Committee last winter Is fresh
iii memory. A like extent of ground was
gone over by the locating commission
but two or three weeks ago The pro-
tracted session of the Commission before
finally fixing the location IL evidence OF the
devoted earnestneSs with which the claims
of the several localities were presented,
while il Is not ceable that not a single inti-
nation of unfairness on the part of any one
place. or of hard feeling between localities
or between members of the Commission, has
reached the public. The competition for the
location of the Home cannot be ascribed
entirely To expectation OF gam or of material
advantage to accrue TO the fortunate place,
because this would be a wholly inadequate
motive Rather, it must be accepted
as evidence of the deep-seated graft
tude which the people of the State feel TO
ward the ex-soldiers OF the war, stimulating
a just pride in the desire TO secure TO their
own localities the home which the State has
determined to provide for those soldiers who
are who may become dependent. This senti-
ment, and the general good feeling that has
marked the contest, should insure the
most cordial acquiescence in the final
determination of the commission in choos-
ing Grand Rapids a the site of the Home.
Added to these reasons why the choice
should meet with general acceptance, We be-
lieve ii TO be a wise one IN itself. Such an
institution should not, 10y all means, be
isolated or very far removed from some
town capable at least of furnishing ordi-
nary supplies. Life at such an establish
ment will at best become dull and monoton-
Gus, and the inmates must have sol e place
within easy reach to which they can 90 for
occasional change. The only objection
to large city is in the facility
for dissipation. This doubtless will be
found to be an evil more imaginary than
real, while the proximity of small town
would be no less Objectionable In this re-
spect than larger one, nor would a small
town afford the needed facilities for change
and recreation. For these reasons the
choice is = good one. A location on the
Detroit or St. Clair river, or at some other
point on the coast line where the waterways
afford facilities for summer recreation. might
have have been better; but the work Is well
done as il Is.
