0FF FOR THE POLE.

Taking with him everything that his
experience has taught him he may
need. Walter Wellman has started from
Paris for SpitZbergen. From the latter
place he will make his effort TO reach
the north pole by the airship route.
Prior to his departure Mr.. Wellman
announced that his big airship was as
nearly perfect as il was possible for
human hands to make it. The craft
will be thoroughly tested around Spitz-
bergen before the actual dash for the
pole begins.
No matter how we may feel about
the usefulness, or lack of it, of polar
expeditions il is certain that more in
terest will be taken in Wellman's dash
than i'm any similar undertaking for
many years. There is a picturesque
ness. novelty about it that makes
the strongest kind of an appeal to the
Imagination. The flight of the Inflated
Andree cannot be compared with it,
for Andree's was really a case of sui
eide. There was a possibility of his
getting TO the pole in a balloon that
was not dirigible but there was no pos
sibiIity of his getting safely back again.
Wellman has made careful plans for
a round trip. If the weather condi-
lions are favorable Wellman will start
from Spitzbergen late in July or early
in August. 1t is within the range of
possibilities that he will return to
Spitzbersen. having made a successful
journey to the pole, before September
l. The faith of the man is SO great
that he has inspired faith in others.
When his plans were first made public
most people were incredulous. Because
the thing had never been done they
said it could not be done
The ranks of the deubters have
thinned amazingly, though, during the
last month or two. 1t is still impossi-
BILE to predict, with any degree of safe
ty, that his mission will be successfully
performed The feat will be attended
by the greatest dangers and difficulties.
Nobody appreciates this better than
the man in charge of the expedition
but he believes he will win, and he de-
serves TO win.
We are promised a daily record by
wireless of his journey and it should
be one of the most intensely interesting
chronicles ever written.

EoR HONEST DEALING.

Congress has given the president
great opportunity TO compel American
manufacturers in certain lines to deal
fairly by the government The oppor-
tuntiy is found in the senate resolution,
passed also by the house. directing that
material and equipment for the Pana-
ma canal work be purchased from
American manufacturers except where,
in the opinion of the president, the
bids are too high. He may then turn
to foreign manufacturers. II Mr. Roose-
welt carries the spirit of the resolution
into effect We may expect some very
fair competition in Panama canal ma
terials and supplies
A short time ago the purchasing agent
for the canal commission. Mr.. Ross,
told a senate committee that he could
buy rails from foreign countries. laid
down on the istnmus for $3.50 per ton.
For rails OF the same type American
railroad builders are paying s26 per ton.
The government, of course. would pay
no duty on foreign rails. To this diff
ference of SLIGO per ton in favor of the
foreign product must be ADDED thn
freight TO Panama on the American
rails, so that the real saving by pur-
chasing foreign rails would be in the
neighborhood certainly of IS per ton.
Now the American manufacturers
compete with the foreigners in their
own markets, That is to say, they sell
rails to foreign buyers for a less sum
per ton than they charge American buy
ers. The tariff enables them to mulct
the home consumer and makes them
feel that they can sell to the foreigner
on a closer margin. The effect of the
resolution will be to give the govern
ment rails and other materials for the
isthmus at greatly reduced rates, for il
is not at all probable that American
manufacturers, if only for their prides
sake. will permit the awarding of any
large contracts to foreigners.
Unfortunately. though, people of this
country will not be the gamers, except
indirectly, as stated. Nor can they be
benefited as long as the vicious tariff
systems that makes it possible for for
eigners to buy American goods cheaper
than Americans can buy them remains
in existence.

COMPENSATION FOR ALL.

In an address 10 the Bankers asso-
uation of West Virginia a few days
ago Senator Elkins, himself a rich man
and a banker, said: Very rich men
never whistle. Poor men always do.
Bird songs are in the hearts of the
poor. This is well. In every condition
of life there is compensation" And
another rich man said, not very long
ago: "Millionaires do not know how
TO laugh" The rich always feel sorry
for the poor at least to the extent of
being very glad they themselves are not
poor The poor feel sorry for them
selves, sometimes, though nearly al
ways ti.sy get good deal out of life.
But we doubt if many poor people
would consider the ability to whistle
a sufficient compensation for their pow
erty. And certainly rich men are not
going about offering to trade their
wealth for a knowledge of whistling.
At least we have seen no advertise
ments to that effect You don't often
find men, at least in these times, obey
ing the scriptural injunction TO sell
all that they have and give TO the poor,
There is usually great gulf between
the two classes.
The gulf is not lessened in width or
in depth by the thoughts of the classes,
either. The rich always pretend to be
envious of the poor; they speak of the
duties and the obligations imposed by
great wealth and congratulate the poor
upon their freedom from them. Yet
they seem perfectly willing TO continue
life under the weight of the obligations
and responsibilities of which they so
bitterly complain. The poor, on the
ether hand. imagine that the rich must
always be happy because they can buy
anything in the world they want.
When we stop TO think, though, we
know the rich cannot buy everything.

EMOTIONAL INSANITY.

Authoritative announcement has been
made that the attorneys for young
Harry K Thaw will set UP the defense
of emotional insanity. The statement
is calmly made that 1t will not be
urged that ThaW was insane before he
fired the shots that killed Stanford
White or that he Is insane now. The
reason for this is that if he should be
adjudged insane now he would be COM
mtted to an asylum, instead of being
given his liberty. According TO the at
torneys, Thaw was mentally irrespon-
sible only during the very few mo-
ments in which his automatic revolver
was pumping bullets into Whites
body.
These emotional insanity cases are
most peculiar If we believe there is
such a thing as emotional insanity We
must believe that man may be sane
one moment, insane the following mo-
ment and sane again the moment after
that That is TO say man may be
insane just long enough to kill some
body against whom he has a grudge
and the Jury must acGuit him on the
ground that his mental condition rem
dered him unfit to distinguish between
right and wrong A great many muir
derers. thanks TO adroit lawyers, have
been acquitted on this plea. Some of
them have proceeded to become insane
again at the exact moment when il
seemed necessary for them to kill some
body else.
So the emotional insanity plea has
come TO be regarded as the best posi-
bic defense when one man deliberately
shoots down another who is unarmed
and has no chance 10 defend himself
1t has come 10 be the last refuge of
the murderer Of high station or great
wealth or both. 1t seems TO be the
theory of the average juror, if not of
the law, that a man may become emo
tionally insane through a desire for
revenge but not because of a desire for
Fain, for who ever heard of a man
who murdered another in cold blood for
money being discharged on any emo
ton insanity plea?

Bracelets are seen on most of the
short sleeved sisters. The daintiest ones
are of gems set lightly and delieately
in fiigree laceWork, with possibly a
pendanta at the fastening.
Butterfly bangles are airy things with
slender bands of golden wire caught in
by butterflies of gold and pearl or with
gum encruSted wings.
Bangles of flexible golden wire mesh
like gold belts, fastening with little
miniature buckles or framed gems are
odd and pretty and the little bracelet
with pendant gold fringed tassels is
seen again among quaint novelties.
