gain of that distance as fully worth the
effort and the cost.
There may be value in this expedition
beyond the merely sentimental gain OF
twenty-four miles upon the still inaccessible
pole 1t is possible that Peary has learned
new facts about the polar sea, Its meteoro-
logical conditions, the ice changes, the
ocean currents etc. That he has been able
to bring back more than his records Is 10
be doubted There is no evidence OF the
existence of ice-free land in the remote re-
gion which he has traversed. But those
records, comprising the observations or
man who Is today without question the
foremost polar explorer in the world, who
has been in training for many years for
the accomplishment of the goal itself, will
be regarded as of extreme Importance by
the scientific world, possibly beyond the
appreciation of the public at large.
1t is thought by those who are providing
the funds for the Peary expedition that
the explorer will now return to the United
States. In that case it may confidently be
expected that he will at an early date
try again for the great honor that awaits
him who first gains the point of no lati-
tude. His past amply justifes this belief.
The success attending this expedition, fruit
less though it has been in point of its ulti-
mate object. will probably render COM
paratively easy the financing of another
undertaking.
The full story of Peary's struggle against
the ice and cold the winds and currents
will be waited with keen interest. That it
was desperate is evident from his brief
but graphic report wired south. That the
explorer himself and his assistants ex-
hausted every possibility in their effort to
close the final gap of 203 miles is not to
be questioned. That is the history of polar
research. The whole story of human striv-
ing for the ultima thule of science is one
unbroken succession of self-sacrificing,
heroic battles with the elements, in which
personal comfort and safety are disre-
garded and only the purpose of the eXpedi-
ton is held in mind. 1t is this spirit that
has conquered apparently insurmountable
obstacles in other realms of science and has
bestowed upon the world some of it's great
est benefits

Hearst PLAYS BRYAN.

Mr.. Hearst offers Mr. Bryan against the
President and Richard Croker. 1t is his
biggest card, and he plays it at the last
moment. What is its value?
Mr. Roosevelt has carried New York
twice-once for governor, and once for
President by a smashing majority Richard
Croker has several times piloted Tammany
Hall to victory. His successes while leader
of that organization were greater than
those of his predecessor, John Kelly. 1t
is true he has been in retirement for several
years but many of his former lieutenants
retain their admiration of him, and some
of them desire his return to leadership.
In both of these cases we have something
definite to reckon with.
In the case of Mr.. Bryan we have only
hurrah to go upon. A few weeks ago New
York gave him a noisy welcome, and
packed Madison Square Garden In his
honor. But she voted against him in both
of his races for President, and kept him at
a distance two years ago when Judge
Parker ran. Has she changed? Who be-
Iieves it? Why was he not brought into
this Hearst campaign at an earlier day and
placed at the head of the Hearst stumpers?
If Mr.. Hearst is leaning upon Mr.. Bryan in
the slightest degree he is certain to fall
Some of the comments on the Croker
cablegram by the Hearstites in Tammany
Hall are amusing. John I. Oakley says:
Croker is not swayed by any feeling
against either Hearst or Murphy. He is
Just looking after his own corporation hold
ings We know here in Tammany Hall
that he is a large holder of marlborough
stock and he is out to protect his own
interests. rather than being filled with pa
triOtic feelings.
The whole case against the Hearst can
didacy is that the people of New York want
to protect" their "own interests" They
are far from being filled with patriotic
feelings" when they think of what the
success of Mr.. Hearst at the polls would
cost the town and state, and later maybe
the country. Mr.. Oakley may not have
much to lose. and SO is easily filled with
patriotic feelings" of the Artemus Ward
brand He may be willing to sacrifice
everybody else's holdings the altar of
Mr.. Hearst's ambition.
A man of the name of Cassidy estimates
a hundred thousand votes to Hearst Here.
as we see, is one of those individuals who
deal in round numbers. He thinks in big
figures. He wears his confidence with a
swagger. He sees voters wheel about in
large platoons all over the state and head
straight for the Hearst standard. That is,
he sees them in his minds eye. Nobody,
of course, could at this stage of the game
exercise such an influence for or against
either Hearst or Hughes.
But, undoubtedly, Roosevelt, Bryan and
Croker have given to the wind-up in New
York much interest. and added to the i'm
patience felt for Tuesdays figures.

Spelling Reform and Justice.

Spelling reformers may have to pause to
consider even another question than that
raised by the AM of Chief Justice Fuller
the other day when the solicitor general
quoted the late Justice Bradley as spelling
thru" They may be compelled to ponder
on their responsibility to the law and the
interests of society. VIII they not initiate
against the chances of legal identifcations
If they smooth out the difficulties which our
language now offers to the average man?
If spelling is simplifed that the merest
child can score perfect in any composition
what becomes of the idiosyncrasies that
now stamp one person as different from
another on the written page?
This query is suggested by a news dis
patch from Scranton, Pa, to the following
effect:
II. P Schloss was convicted of perjury in
the United States court here today by his
bad spelling Schloss is charged with bank
ruptcy, which he denies. A letter which
was offered in evidence proved him guilty
but he denied that he had written it. He
was directed to write as dictated. In the
letter of which Schloss denied the author
ship the words probably and truly ap-
peared, but they were spelled 'probly' and
'truelly. These words were in the article
dictated to him. They were misspelled in
exactly the same way. Later in the pro-
ceedlngs counsel for Schloss admitted that
his client had written the letter."
1t so happens that this unfortunate gen.
tleman varied from the new orthograp hic
orthodoxy. Possibly the advent of spelling
reform in all planes of society would not
change his own peculiar style. But the
case serves nevertheless as a hint, a warn
ing of things to be carefully considered In
cidentally it might be remarked that while
consistency is a jewel it is sometimes dan
gerous.

Heiresses Beware,
From the Scranton Tribune.

From the Scranton Tribune.
The public airing Of the Castellane- Gould
domestic troubles has revealed a state of
affairs that is even worse than had been
suspected. The pride that has prompted
this foolish American girl to suffer in
silence SO many years seems to have at
last been conquered. and she will acknowl-
edge before the world that she made mis-
take in trading her millions for title. ac-
companied by an unprincipled cad. Let us
may prove a warning to American women
of the future who may be tempted to ex-
change fortunes for empty foreign heraldry.
