The Pole Will Be Discovered.
Walter Wellman and a select company
of aids are scheduled to sail to-day from
New York for Europe on a north pole ex-
petition. They will go by established
lines of common carriers to Norway.

for the polar regions
Wellman is a newspaper man, a Chicago
newspaper man, hence it goes without
saying that that elusive old pole will be
discovered and brought to book That is
to say, to all practical intents and pur-
poses it will be discovered, for if Wellman
cannot find the only original and simon
pure article with magnetic power enough
to draw the nails out of his
boots, he will make one that the
most critical investigator could
not say was spurious And, really, what
difference will it make to the world at
large if the pole that Wellman will tell
US about when he gets back really marks

historians as to Columbus landing place
that is, the identical spot upon which he
first struck grit; but Wellmam settled all
doubt by getting into boat imagining
himself to be Columbus and making land
at Watling's Island. Upon the beach, at
the spot that he landed, Wellman erected
a monument in commcmoration Of his
own and Columbus achievements. And
of course no historian will dare to 60
back upon the assertions of a monument.
IL will be rather hard upon Peary,
Parry, Nansen and the other explorers
who are already in the cold regions
searching for the pole to have Chicago
newspaper man overhaul and pass
them and discover the pole. But it looks
very much like it will turn out that wav.
For Wellman is going to find the north
pole and write it up; there can be no
doubt about that
