From dispatch received by the
secretary of the Arctic club in New
York it is learned that the Peary ex-
petition succeeded in approaching
within 2o3 miles of the north pole, or
about 81 statute miles nearer than
Abruzzi and his party. This is
Peary's ninth trip to the artic regions
and still he has failed to reach the
goal of his ambition. But even had
he accomplished his end and foated a
United States flag over the earth IS
northern axis we are unable to see
what benefit to the world at large
would have resulted therefrom.

Chief Justice Fuller very properly
takes exception to the mutilated spell
ing now being used by the department
of justice in accord with President
Roosevelt's order, and the solicitor
general concurs with him. Both con-
tend that, at least in the transcribing
of judicial opinions, the department
is not justified in mutilating the Or
typography whether it be so ordered by
the president or not. What necessity
the president perceived for: introduc-
ing his so-called simplifed spelling
is beyond the comprehension fEthe
chiefs of departments and the maj ority
of the public. Ii

We are more than pleased to L

We are more than pleased to learn
that our old friend and neighbor in
Hamline, Joseph NJ. Hackney, de.
feated Pierce Butler for state senator
in the 37th legislative district, which
comprises the Tenth and Eleventh
wards and part of the Eighth ward OF
St. Paul, and the rural districts OF
Ramsey county. Pierce Butler is
brilliant and resourceful and he was
backed by all the large interests. Mr..
Hackney and his friends have reason
to feel proud of their victory. Joseph
M. Hackney will make an ideal state
senator. No lobbyist will ever con-
troll his vote. He will work and vote
for the best interests of his district
and the state on every occasion. Ram
sey county will be we'll and ably repre-
sented in the upper branch of the state
Legislature by Senators Dunn, Dur
ment and Hackney. q.

While many an engineering feat pre-

most stupendous of all is that about

Asia by rail. With such a railroad

difficult to see how the product can be
brought into successful competition
with gasoline.

WalterCIark on Electoral Votes.

Our manner of electing a president
readily lends itself to the choice of a
minority candidate. It is an anomaly
that l, 100 votes. as in New York in
1884, should swing seventy electoral
votes, thirty five from one candidate to
another, and thus decide an election.
By preserving the electoral vote
system as now; and giving the smaller
states still the advantage, it might yet
be possible to divide the electoral vote
of each state according to the popular
vote for each candidate, giving each
his pro rata of the electoral vote on
that basis, the odd elector being ap-
portioned to the candidate having the
largest fraction; so that in New York
Mr.. Blaine would have had seventeen
electoral votes and Mr.. Cleveland
eighteen. ,,-..s ..3a-
Other states would have been more
or less evenly divided, but the result
would be that the choice of president
would no longer be restricted to two
or three states as in our past history
and as is likely always to be the case
as long as the whole pivotal states
must swing to one side or the other
and determine the result.
This change would avoid the pres
ent evil of large sums of money being
spent to carry the solid electoral vote
of a large pivotal state, for there
would cease to be pivotal states. AT
the same time it would avoid the open
gulf into which per capita ballot by
the whole Union would lead u.s.
By the convention of 17S7 the term
of the president was originally fixed
at seven years and he was made ineli-
gible for reelection. This, was reduced
to four years by a compromise that
he could be reelected without limita-
tion.
Washington imposed limitation by
example, but it will not always be
binding. An. amendment making the
term six years and the president in
eligible to reelection has long been
desired by large portion of the pub
lie, Indeed, when the constitutional
convention of the Union shall assem-.

The Railroad as an Outlaw.

Every leading politician has taken
it upon himself to cry out against the
railroad. The people are being in
formed that the railroad is an outlaw.
There is in fact probably less outlawry
in railroad management than in al
most any other business. Certainly
the daily press is not guiltless for it
seems to lack conscience altogether.
Its pages are crowded with consci-
enceless advertisements, and it appeals
too often to public prejudice that it
has created in terms of demagoguery
Many dry goods merchants misrepre-
sent the quality of goods over the re-
tail counter; too many lawyers advise
their clients into trouble deliberately
rather than out of it; the school fac
tories that turn out incompetent doc
tors who must prey upon the people
tell the story of poor school admin
lstration. There is much in business
that is out of joint, but the fire centers
on the railroad.
In the meantime the country is suffer-
ing for larger railroad mileage. It
is less matter of car shortage these
days than it is track shortage. The
Pennsylvania road gave notice last
week that for three days no freight
could be received for consignment
east Of Pittsburg, as that time was
necessary to clear side tracks of
freight in the east district.
It will cost more to double track the
railroads of the United States than
the civil war cost, and the war bank
rupted the nation. So long as the
railroad is regarded as an outlaw the
people will decline to invest the bill
lions necessary for the work in rail-
way investment.
1t is serious problem that con-
fronts the country on this line. The
Pennsylvania is spending s3O,O0O,OOO
to get into New York and to enlarge
their track capacity. It is probable
that when the work is completed the
capacity of the Pennsylvania will be
taxed as much as it has been, so great
will be the expansion of business.
The railroad has been guilty of rate
practices that are in violation of law.
Isn't it possible to correct these acts
without quite the hullabaloo that the
politicians insist upon? Otherwise we
may find that the country has been led
into depression that will prove to be
costly. This is "a matter to think
about. rather than. to ridicule.
