PEARY'S SHIP

three years to build the Fran and
finally in becoming frozen up in a COM
Darativalv low latitude for three years.
In building the Fran on the princi-
pal dimensions of 113 feet water line,
Sc feet beam and IL feet depth OF hold,
with a displacement of 45O tons weight
OF hull. OF the 500 tons the small mar
gin of $50 tons remained for stores and
coal supply, by no means adequate 20
force n passage through pack ice for
1900 miles. The indicated horse power
of the triple expansion engines were
but 220 horse power to 500 tons of dis
placement. which went far to prove
why the ship did not reach a higher
latitude during the summer when the
pack ice became loosened.
Around this point centers the ulti-
mate success of Lieutenant Peary to
get strong. powerful ship to force a
way from Cape York to Cape Hecla,
$50 miles, before the long Arctic night
begins. Before the ice king, no mat
ter what the form of the ship may be
or how powerful the engines are, holds
I fast with n deadly grip until the sun
IN burst of glory rolls above the ho-
rizon in the South and the fetters be-
come loosened.
Nowhere in the United States can a
ship be found to meet the two condi-
tions, speed and great structural
strength. One or the other has TO be
sacrificed. Great structural strength
is not possible with high speed. Expe-
rience has proved that a large We sci
has no business to be caughtamong the
ice foes of the Arctic. and unless a ves-
sci is large she cannot carry coal
sufficient to drive her 12 or 10 miles
an hour through the varying ice condi-
tions to be met with sea-going tugs
some Of them have the requisite power
but are defective I'm beam. which IS
fatal. The ships Of the Lighthouse
service are the ideal ships as to dimen-
sions and structural strength. This
prevents them from carrying large
cool supply by reason Of the increased
displacement. Surely the reader Will
agree that neither the Reliance noi
Shamrock III would be suitable boats
to send North--to lift the pole. In the
Marine Commercial service are perhaps
to be found the only ship that may
with strengthening be found able viii
a light displacement to carry sufii-
cient coal supply to reach Grant Lane
before the winter OF next year sets In
/. On the ability Of ships TO do this
hinges the success Of the expedition Al
. reaching so high a latitude as Sc de.
grees. so that IN the following summer
a dash can be made north on siedgel
TO plant the American flag at the Nortt
Pole and alongside of It the Cross.

More than usual interest is being
taken now In the proposed dash Of
Lieutenant Robert E. Peary to solve
the problem Of the earth's northern
pole. Probably no man living is better
with the knowledge gained
by hard experience in previous at
tempts to reach the genesis OF latitude
and longitude than is the Greenland
explorer in this perhaps his final at
tempt to solve the last geographical
problem confronting the world.
He knows every foot Of the coast
from Cape York to Cape Hecla on the
west Greenland side knows OF the
habits OF the Arctic hare, fox and OK.
He is certain Of the cooperation OF
the Esquimo Of the region he expects
20 traverse.
He has hopes Of establishing a base
at Grant Land. the extreme northeast
ern point of the American continent,
distant from the pole 400 miles. 50
much for the hopes that has impelled
and sustained the explorers Of every
nation IN their struggle amid the bar
riers OF the frozen North
While every one will wish the gall
liant Peary success in reaching the
pole this time. it is doubtful II the pre-
paration can be anything like that
made by DR.. Nansen in the Fran by
way of the Siberian Arctics I'm 1S93-96.
That expedition took nine years to de-
velop and resulted in proving that a
ship can be built to stand the enor-
nous ice pack pressure for three years
and emerge intact. That was all that
the expedition accomplished save in
the almost foolhardy "trip OF DR.. Nam
sen and Lieutenant Johnson TO the
then farthest north 50 degrees II min
utes with sledges.
The idea that dominated DR.. Nam
sen and set his plans to reach the pole
came about finding an Johannberge or
the southwest of Greenland wreclage
from the Inflated jeanette that under
Lieutenant De Long was attempting 9
northern drift i'm the Siberian Arctic
The finding of this wreckage shortly
after the Jeanette foundered in 1854 81

These rumors OF a lynching
That we all so Oft have heard
Are false, because the jury fails
To find that It. occurred.
There wasn't any riotng,
No breaking in of doors;
There was no dragging OF a man
Along the prison floors.
There was no CHASTITY spectacle
No noise to smite the air;
George White was never lynched at all,
Because he wasn't there!
That night that people talked about
was peaceful and serene:
Around the workhouse all night long
No bowling mob was seen.
Twas only the reporters
In a search for lurid news,
Who painted such an awful scene
In all its lurid huea.
Bot don't believe a word they wrote
II was fake you know.
A lie from start TO finish,
Our grand jury tells us sol
Its strange the way such rumors start
TIL people are deceived
The story of that lynching
1t was actually believed!
And many of our citizens
Were willing once TO swear
The thing had surely taken place,
And that they all We're there.
1t seems the summers blasting heat
Had simply burned their heads,
For now they solemnly aver
They all were In their beds
SO let's dismiss these fancies
With a most indulgent smile,
And ask the warden to produce
George White IN court for trial!

Senator Foraker and the Courts.

From the Phila. Public Ledger.
Senator Foraker, in his opening CAM
paign address at Chillicothe, made a
forceful reply to Bryan. Johnson and
other who inveigh against govern
ment by Injunction; he declared that
our courts have always been the con-
servative and preservative force in the
government, and he was right, wheth-
or speaking Of the higher or the lower,
Of the Federal or the State courts.
This is the tribute he paid the coun-
try's judiciary.
"As a whole, our judges have always
met the just expectations OF our peo-
pie, and In their independence. their
honor and their fearlessness In the dis
charge Of their duties, we have ever
found a comforting guarantee OF the
permanency OF our institutions
-Men win not long maintain a
government that does not sustain a free
and untrammeled judiciary. No great
er calamity could befall us than the
serious impairment Of tho usefulness
OF this department Of our government"
How much It IS TO be regretted that
Senator Forak vas not able to in
clude all Judges IN his encomium upon
those v''.ose independence. honor and
feariessness in the discharge Of their
fdties" are indisputablel But the
truth would not let him do It. Unfor.
tunateiy there are judges whose politi-
cal independence and fearlessness in
the discharge OF their duties are not
always and in all things consniouously
shown by all they do.

A National Menace.
the Boston TranscrInt.

From the Boston Transcript.
We have already called attention TO
the statement that when Congress re-
assembled, the national Immigration
Commissioner would recommend in
creased legislation to prevent the
dumping upon these shores annually Of
such appalling number OF diseased and
pauper aliens as now have TO be cared
for.
The total cost Of caring for the poor
In New York State is over S24. 100000
annually. and as the foreign born are
estimated TO be at least one-haif, It
means s12.000000 a year for their sup
port with no return.
Goodwin Brown, one Of the highest
authorities on lunacy statistics. says
that one-half the inmates Of the in
sane asyiums In New York state are
foreign born, and he predicts that In
ten years the allen insane viii cost
the United States $50. .000, 900 annually.
All this makes no account OF what It
costs to maintain charitable homes for
children, one-haif OF whom are born Of
foreign parents, and which means TO
New York state another $4,000. 900
yearly. That is certainly situation
that is not to be regarded with COM
placency, especially as II is all the
while growing worse instead OF bet

The incapacity 10 earn a livelihood

OPINION
The Modern coIIeas Boy.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
We had on Wednesday the case Of
the schoolboy fastening to school, 200
miles away. in his sixteen horsepower
automobile. Yesterday the dispatchers
told instructively Of the trip OF the
son OF the general manager OF trans
continental road from his home in
San Francisco to Yale College, where
he is a student.
The young man made the journey in
private car Two chefs. two porters
and several personal servants looked
out for his comfort. The train dis
patchers of three great railroad sys-
TENS and various, locomotive engin ineers,
towermen, signalmen, and naginen, as
well. guarded his progress, keeping an
unusually anxious eye on the boss
son." He Travelled over the 5000 miles
OF road as luxuriousiy as might a
prince Of the blood and in semi-royal
state. At the New Haven college he
viii occupy one of the apartments the
erection of which preoipitated a dis
cussion about the increase OF luxury at
college. He is a type Of the college
boy OF which the last generation knew
nothing.
Yet the moment this pampered youth
enters the college grounds his import
ance leaves him. His private car will
secure him no privileges there.
It viii not make him more popular
than the boy who Is doing outside work
to pay his way. nor will 1t attract the
welcome slap on the back which as
often signalizes the choice OF a poor
boy as rich for membership In the
exclusive club. The colleges are stiil
democracies in which wealth and
pull" count for less than Ia any other

her husband to her for sum in

with the man. When she found out
that she had been deceived and that

Steel and Mr.. Morgan.

From the Philadelphia North American.
A curious habit OF thought and an
erroneous conception of finance are
leading many distraught investors to
write lettors to J. pierpont Morgan, re-
preaching him for the losses they have
sustained because OF the gyrations Of
the market.
Mr.. Morgan Is doubtless able TO
bear alone his burden of correspon-
dence. yet we must protest that the
tone Of It Is a whit unreasonable. It
Is hardly to be expected that Mr.. Nor
gan will assume the investors view
point He Is not an investor. He is
simply a spcculator, promoter. Hav-
ing blown up his various balloons and
tossed them up to be clutched for by
the eager public. he win naturally be
surprised and annoyed that he should
be blamed because the gas exudod from
them. Whatever of sympathy he may
have he win reserve FOR himself and
the interests he induced to underwrite
his schemes. oppressed as both are by
more OF their own securities than they

Moreover. the investors who rushed

BY no necromancy Of finance can $780,
100000 OF property carry three times

OF speculation. II anything more un-
reasonable could be cited. il would be
the selling of steel as low as 15is. Al

ONE DOLLAR

1908, has ever succeeded permanently

the absurdity Of the proposition, and
as large proportion. Is living today as
at any time In the history Of the world.
In no other business does the absolute
truth Of the foregoing statement apply
more forcibly than in the business OF
life insurance. There are individuals
everywhere who have been persuaded
that the impossible Is easily possible,
and that they are going to pay from
one-fourth to one-half the price each
year that several hundred years expe-
rience has demonstrated to be the ac-
tual cost Of guaranteed life insurance,
and thus leaves estates for their fami-
lise when they are gone for good.
Brother, I don't expect to convince you
Of the absurdity Of the scheme because
I'm prejudieed. In order to keep the
record straight" and to. demonstrate
who's right, I would suggest that you
cut out this advertisement and pin it
to your certificate that you believe Is

and then you will be In, position, II

FRIES MERGER SCHEME FAILURE
There is a widely prevalent opinion
that the Fries merger scheme. when
embodied the proposed organization OF
a hundred or more southern yarn ana
cloth mills into the Southern Textlie
company, has virtually fallen through.
While the promoters have not aoan.
doned the matter it is believed that II
will now be impossible to carry out the
scheme. This is said to be due to the
difficulty in .reconciling the conflicting
interests Of the properties affected
and also to the lack of proper imam
ciaI backing. Some of the mills IN
North and South Carolina are under
stood to have withdrawn the optlons
they had given, but the exact numper
Is not known.
Some of the mills which gave OPP
tions last fall, believing that they were
about to dispose Of their properties at
remunerative figures, did not bother
to buy cotton ahead, with the result
that they find themselves In very
embarrassing situation at the present
time. They are paying and 2s cents
a pound more for cotton than tney
would have paid had they placed tnelr
orders few months ago.-Greensporo'
