=, ;s , matter of congratuiation for
tho paonle of Augusta and vicinity that
arrangements have beer made for a lee
tire in this city by Commander Ropert
= p,.ry the Arctic explorer. Few
Americans are more prominently be-
tora tho world at this time. and we
have all read so much about him and
Tic work that we welcome the Oppor-
,,,nit, of seeing the man himself and
hearing from his own lips the wonder
fuI story Of his experiences in the
frozen North. In his three expeditions
he has pushed his way nearer the pole
than any other American has done and
nas accomplished much for geographic
cal science. He is now preparing for "A
fourth and last desperate dash for the
role and is confident that he will reach
the long sought goal. For four hum
bred wears" said he in a recent inter-
view, men have been trying to reach
the pole and many of you are wonder
ing why l have now hopes of being
more successful than the others. They
are founded on three Things. First. il

the ship in which he will start for the
Arctic seas. this summer, was built on
the Penobscot aud is being fitted out
at Portland. He is a most eloquent
and pleasing speaker. and has been
highly successful as lecturer. He
las never spoken in this city and upon
lis coming appearance here. Wednes-
day MAY 10. he should be greeted by II
crowded Opera House. 1t is not only
our first opportunity of seeing AMI
hearing this brave explorer of whom
we have all read so much. but it is al
together likely to be our last oppor-
tunity, since the ODDS against his safe
return are terrible t. contemplate. The
prices for his lecture here have been
made very low. The school children IN
particular should not miss the CEportu-
nifty of attending, fol the lecture will he
of great educational value as well as
intensely Interesting.

During the recent municipal cam
paign in Chicago when the question of
the ownership of the local electric lines
was much discussed. il was frequently
asserted that the city owns the
Streets" The strike of the teamsters
there has made it certain that whoever
owns the streets nobody can use them
in safety for lawful purposes without
insults and violence Al the hands OF
transfers organizations. 1t has been
demonstrated that while the citizens in
theory own the streets. The unions, as 4
matter of fact, control them, and the
non-uniOn drivers have found that ths
police force of the city is not large OF
powerful enough to give them protec.
ton. The ownership Of it's trans
portation system is not the most i'm.
portant problem which confronts this
western metropolis at present.

Alaska is keeping up the agitation for
a delegate in Congress. 1t feels, and
with some degree Of justice, that in pro-
portion to its increasing Importance it
has been neglected by our national law
makers. With Porto Rico and Hawaii
each granted a commissioner in Con-
srcss and with the Philippines
soon to send two commissioners to Con-
gress. Alaska is classed With Guam in
heing denied this privilege. Since the
trade between the UniteI States and
the territory Of Alaska Is worth almost
twice as much as the trade with Porto
Rico and the Philippines combined, the
neglect of Alaska by Congress seems
al! the more inexcusaDle. 1t is not to
be disputed that Alaska is entitled to a
territorial delegate at Washington. or
two of them if desired, but it is prob
able that the people Of Alaska lay too
much stress upon the Importance of De-
ing represented by such delegates.
do no more than to call attention to the
needs of the territory and, as a matter
of fact, Alaska is already pretty well
represented at Washington by men
coming from other parts Of the country
who have become interested in Alaskan
matters. What Alaska really wants is
some form of territorial CT home gov
eminent. 1t is no longer a vacant and
unknown land which Congress can
safely neglect or govern by long dis
tance methods. 1t deserves as complete
home rule as Arizona or New Mexico,
and will probably be granted it in the
near future.

delightful story teller, gave an account
OF the last appearance of Bill Nye on
any public platform. and in so doing
set at rest several dirty rumOrs which
have been in circulation regarding the
character Of Nye. which have been in
circulation ever since his death. Most
of us know that Edgar Wilson Nye was
born in small wooden house on a
steep sidehill in the town of Shirley

moved away while very young he al

to bring floral offerings. Nor until that
unfortunate lecture incident at Pater-

was Nye ever accused of taking LIQUOR
to excess. or even of being what might
he called man who was fond of taking
liquor. On this fatal evening WHEN
NNe was billed to appear on the lecture
platforms in Paterson. he had left his
glasses at the hotel. where he had
taken supper. He was very near
sighted from childhood. and on enter
ing the hall from the rear and coming
from darkness into the full blaze If
light he caught his foot in a loose bit
OF carpeting. and stumbled in full view
or the audience. During the lecture he
fe't MS way about the platform in a
dazed sort Of way. and though b,s
conduct was due to defective vision
accentuated by the lack of his snao-
tacles. the crowd received the impress
sion that he was intoxicated. Seyer,,
