containing "a few sleeping rooms,

PEARY'S NORTH POLE PLANS
Route by Which Explorer Hopes to Reach
the Goal.

New York, Jan. 11.-Morris K. Jessup,
president OF the Peary Arctic Club, has
issued an appeal for funds to aid in the
equipment of the new expedition in search
of the pole which is to start under Com
mander Peary next Summer. About
800, 900 is needed.
Peary's plan to reach The pole is based
on the Smith Sound or American" route.
1t contemplates powerful and strongly
built ship which he can force to base
within less than 500 miles of the pole, the
utilization of the full resources of the
Eskimos and the use of dogs of traction
power.
Peary prosposes to start early in July,
and, having established permanent sub
base at Cape Sabine, on the west side of
Smiths Sound, and secured the services
of the Eskimos, to force bis vessel north
through Kane Basin and Kennedy and
Robson Channels to the northerly coast
of Grant Land or of Greenland, If the
conditions should compel it), and there
Winter within less than 500 miles of the
Pole. This plan is the evolution from
Peary's twelve years of almost continuous
work in these high ATTITUDES.

An 0ptlmist on Public Men.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The man who goes into public life pays
price for the privilege. At once he be-
comes a fair target for suspicion, mis-
understanding neutrality-suspicious.. The
impression widely prevails that every
ofhceholder is party tool and CRATER.
Any testimony to the contrary is re-
freshing. So it is to be hoped that the
article in the current issue of THE Chris
tian Endeayor World" on "Stamina in
Public Life" will have WIDE reading.
The author speaks with authority. He is
Henry B. F. MacFarland, president of the
Board of Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia, lifelong resident of the capl-
tai ard a newspaper correspondent en-
joying intimate relations with most OF the
national leaders for score Of years past.
The message which he writes to the En-
deavorers of the country is thus a leaf out
of full book of experience.
The substance of the article is in this
paragraph
ia general, can truthfully say that our
representative public men are, on the
whole, better even than their best reputa-
ton, and that means far better than the
reputation most commonly given them
through partisan publications of one sort
and another. They are certainly above
the average of their constituents in moral
qualities as we'll as intellectual attainment
and that consider to be saying a great
deal. They deserve great deal more re-
spect than they usually get in this country
of cartoons and fippant writers. And,
whatever else they may lack, most of
them do not lack stamina, or moral back
bone"
The high moral courage of President
Mckinley, for which he was never given
full credit until his uutimely death, and
be more widely-recognlzed stamina OF
President Roosevelt are dwelt upon at
some length, but the main contention OF
Mr.. MacFarland is that the rank and file
of most men in public life are similarly
loyal to convictions, and that they prove
their loyalty in ways undreamed of by the
public.
This is a word in season which MIR.
MacFsrland speaks.

Politics in Virginia.
Lynchburg News.

Lynchburg News.
The people of Virginia manifested only
languid interest in the Presidential elec-
ton last fall, possibly because it was
foregone conclusion that the electoral vote
Of the State would be cast for the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1t was also the general con-
viction that the vote of Virginia would
not count in the general result, because
Roosevelt would bere-elected by the vot-
ers of the Northern States. A different
condition Will be witnessed this year in
the State election. Every citizen will feel
a personal interest in the result, and there
is every reason to anticipate that the full
strength of both parties will be brought
out at the polls.
Interest will not cease with the primary.
The elimination of the ignorant negro
vote has removed the fear of negro domi'
nation, which has heretofore helped to
keep the white vote solid. Hereafter, the
white voters will feel free to vote their
sentiments on all State and National is
sues. 1t lnay be that many of them will
elect to vote with the Republicans. 1t is
impossible to predict ahead the extent OF
the detection, if any, from the Democratic
ranks. Every effort will be made by the
Republicans to strengthen that party in
this State, and they will be aided by the
administration at Washington.
One effect of the primary plan of max
ing nominations may be to create bitter
factions in the Democratic party. 1t ls
likely that there will be four candidates,
certainly three, for the gubernatorial NOM
nation, and several for other positions,
such as for Lieutenant Governor and Su'
perintendent of Public Instruction and
perhaps other positions. The multiplicity
of candidates will insure an active and
heated campaign. The danger is that Bit
ter feelings will be excited, and that the
friends of defeated candidates will become
lukewarm, or even hostile to the nominee.
For these reasons the election next No
vember will be of unusual interest. The
result will show what effect the new con-
stitution will have on the alignment of
parties in this Commonwealth, and it will
be another test of the primary plan OF
making nominations.

Slow Progress With Insanity.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
In one of the current periodicals DIR. Bur-
ton Chance sends home some disagreeable
truths with respect to the disease Of in
sanity. He declares that the last century
saw little if any progress in the way Of
curing or preventing this disease. While
the science of surgery and medicine has
advanced with leaps and bounds in gen.
eral way it has stood still with respect to
what are commonly called diseases of the
mind. Of every 100 sent to the public in
sane asylums forty are, discharged as
cured. Of these forty at least twenty are
returned to the asylum again. So we
find here bare 20 per cent. Of cures, and
a constantly increasing number of insane
who must be cared for at public expense.
At the last authoritative accounts there
were 10000 patients in the asylums of
the United States.
DIR. Chance Gays that at present "the
observation of insanity is not included in
the curriculum of medical studies in Eng
ish-Speaking schools" Most physicians
begin their practice without any instruc.
ton in this form of disease.
