Mount Everest Not to BE Climbed

Considerations of high imperial pol
ICY wrote Mr.. MORLEY, have given the
latest project for the ascent of Mount
Everest its quietus. The money was
ready, the men were picked, and all that
was needed was the consent of the Gov
and as all efforts have failed to change
the decision of the authorities, the Royal
Geographical Society and the Alpine Club
have given up for the present the idea
of placing the highest mountain beneath
the feet of Alpinists.
auspices of the Royal Geographical So
ciety and the Alpine Club, the latter pro-
viding the funds. The leader was Major
CHARLES BRUCE, who had already done
excellent mountaineering with Sir MAR
TIN CONWAY in the Karakoram Hima-
layas. His companions we're to be two
well known Alpinists, DR.. T. L~oNGsTAFF,
who has had much Asian experience, and
Mr.. ARNOLD MUMM Of the Alpine Club,
whom DOUGLAS FREsHFIELD took to
Uganda when he attempted the ascent
Of the Ruwenzori range. Three of the
best Alpine guides had been secured,
and half a dozen picked Gurkhas were to
complete the party.
II has thus far seemed impossible to
transport supplies through the rugged
and difficult mountain region to the south
of Mount Everest. The best approach Is
on the north or Tibetan side, where the
grand sno summit appears to rise from
the lofty plateau and to be accessible
without very great difficulty. SO it was
proposed TO go north from Darjeeling,
cross the Tibetan border and then turn
west. II was in Tibet that Colonel
YoUNdHUsBAND, in 1908, took the only
photograph that gives a good idea Of the
oonfiguration Of Mount Everest.
OF course 1t was necessary to ask per-
mission for the expedition to cross into
Tibet; and V the party intended, when
once across the border. to turn their
backs on Lhass and travel westward to
the mountain, 1t was thought that Mr..
JOHN MORLEY, In behalf Of the Indian
Government, would not refuse his Official
sanction. But he did refuse 1t emphat-
ically. He said it was not possible, con-
sistently with the policy Of tho Govern
ment, for the Government Of India to
give encouragement or help to explore
ton In Tibet.

sheep and 100000 cattle and horses In
the pastures Of the national forests. But
the timber can be cut and the grass used
only under Government regulations de-
signed to preserve the Of the
forests. Furthermore, hotels, stores,
power plants and mills may be built and
rail and wagon roads, canals and reser-
voirs may be constructed upon the lands
reserved, for the purpose Of tho law is
to open the country a. well M to pre-
serve those lands and the growth upon
them.
A cry has sometimes gone up that the
whole system is wrong and pernicious
because the lands reserved are withdrawn
from taxation, when the fact Is that the
national Government pays those
ties in which the forests are located 10
per cent. Of all the receipts from the sale
Of timber, use Of the range, and various
other uses In course of time this item
will amount to a large sum In favored
localities.
The local officers, supervisors and
rangers, attend to most Of the business
Of the national forests, sales Of timber,
grazing permits, home allotments, &c,
but all payments are made to the Fiscal
Agent, Forest Service, Washington. To
the citizen who desires to use the national
domain for a legitimate purpose Forester
PINcHor says: You need not fear delay
1t should be understood, however, that
local needs are first attended to.
Do you want a healthy outdoor occupa-
ton at fair pay? If a resident of a State
or Territory in which there is a reserva-
ton, and II you a pass the required civil
service examination, the Government
wants you a. a guard or a ranger, for Mr.
PINCHoT says that the national forests
need more mem; for those who like a
hardy, active life in the open the work,
he declares, is ideal, but it calls for a Wig
orous constitution az well as the ability
to pack, shoot and fight fire.
rs a primer to spread the light Mr..
PINCHor's brochure is valuable and was
much needed. A larger compilation,

administration Of the national forests.

The white House Retinue.

What we may loosely, though we hope
r%everently, describe Al the Presidents
society retinue seems to have been dis
banded for the summer. We refer to the
army and navy officers who were de-
tailed from the public service at the
threshold Of the social season in Wash
ington to add to the already dazzling
environment Of the Chief Executive and
incidentally to swell the pride and won
der Of Mr.. RoosEvELT's favored guests.
Those who attended any Of the White
House functions last winter will under
stand the hopelessness Of all efforts at
description. Those who did not attend
could hardly be ~inoculated with the
feeblest idea Of their splendor by even
the most hysterical literary paroxysm.
We confine ourselves, therefore, to the
simple statement above outlined.
The question Of present importance
refers to the future altogether. The
question is whether the retinue aforesaid
is to reassemble next November; whether
the descendants Of great American SOL
diers, statesmen. patriots and heroes are
again to be withdrawn from their legiti-
mate professional occupations and di-
vested of their duties to the country in
order to furnish Mr.. ROOSEVELT with a
brilliant domestic encourage.
No doubt the persons admitted to these
sumptuous spectacular displays have
been properly impressed by their mag
nifcence. When the trumpets sound
the fanfare from the Government shrub
berry grouped in the grand hallway and
the President bursts upon their ecstatio
vision, preceded by a vanguard OF gaudily
upholstered and bedizened young gen.
tlemen chosen from the army, the navy
and the Marine Corps to make a household
glare for Mr.. ROOSEVELT, the assembled
spectators naturally throb with honest
pride in their nation, it's institutions and
its Ruler. That is ineligible TO the very
humblest mind. Whether they glory in
the thought OF having military officers,
perhaps future commanders, even future
Presidents, performing parts in a species
OF cheap theatrical ~pageantry Is a very
different matter.
So it happens that interest attaches to
the White House social programme for
next winter. Are the grandson Of U. s.
GRANT and the sons OF p. H. SHERIDAN
and FrrzHUGH LEE, to say nothing of the
descendants Of American gentlemen less
distinguished maybe, but equally worthy
and self-respecting, to be assigned to
another term of domestic service at the
White House?
Opinions may differ a. to the propriety
and usefulness of the arrangement in
question. It is not inconceivable that
the public conscience may to a great
extent have been dulled IL not entirely
paralyzed by this time. II would seem
TO be only fair, however, to the country
as well II to the young gentlemen them
selves If the assumption OF these ma or
domo duties were made "a matter Of
choice and not of virtual compulsion.
The country would be glad to know
exactly which OF their military officers
prefers the White House carpet to the
guard mount and the quarterback.
Such knowledge might be very valuable
in a national emergency under another
dispensation.

The Only Issue.

The position Of Governor GLENN Of
North Carolina vas thus stated by him
on Friday afternoon before the attempted
arrest Of President FINLEY:
Every legal order of the Circuit Court will be
obeyed. but | will to the utmosta and In every posi-
BILE way resist the present encroachments of the
Federal Court, made at the instance OF the railroads,
on the Jurisdiction Of the State courts. This is all
the contention"
Who is to decide whether any order
of the Circuit Court of the United States
is legal or illegal?
Is the Supreme Cou.t of the United
States to decide or Governor GLENN, with
the North Carolina militia?
When there is conflict between State
and United States jurisdiction the ma
tiona' jurisdiction must have supremacy
until the question in conflict is finally
determined.
Such is the case whether the action
of the Circuit Court shall be sustained
or reversed. The order of the Circuit
Court must be legal" until ii is set aside
by superior Federal authority.
A Governor capable of resisting TO
the utmost and in every possible way"
an order of the Circuit Court of the United
States because il seems to him to be
Illegal" might also be capable Of resist
ing to the utmost and in every possible
way an order OF the Supreme Court Of the
United States to which his in~tellectuals
refused to assent for the same reason.

THE SCHOOLBOY OF OLD GREECE.
A Contrast Suggested Between His Train
ing and That or Modern Youth.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Ken
meth Freeman. who was a Winchester boy
and q scholar OF Trinity College, Cambridge,
and who died at the early age OF "a. took
pains during his school days to get in touch
with the Greek schoolboy Of more than 1900
years ago.
About two or three hundred years before
Christ tho three Rs Of a Greek boys educa-
ton we're reading. Tyre playing and gym
~nastics. and It WAS supposed that a boy OF
fourteen knew how to read and write, string
and play the Tyre, and take gymnastic exer-
else. Al the age Of fourteen primary educa-
ton was to be completed. Secondary edu-
cation was reserved only for the sons OF the
wealthy, and lasted until a boy was eighteen.
IL was then that he became an "ephebos." and
had to undergo two years Of military train
ing. which lasted until he was twenty. The
children OF the rich were sent to school at an
early age, and did little more than look on
while their elders worked. Aristotle in mis-
Ideal State imposes two years Of this playing
at schoolu pon the children OF the wealthy.
School life usually began when a boy was
about six years old. Before this he recei we'd
the religious education OF the nursery in the
fables, the ballads and mythology Of the ma
ton. The shy, modest boy OF ancient. Greece
Of modern America. The Following Is one Of
Mr.. Freemanis anecdotes: An Athenian boy
who had ACHE yed a great, victory in the games

father replied the boy az he embraced him.

The All Red Route.

A perceptible pallor is stealing over
the all red route. The weekly organ OF
the British Liberals now In power has
pronounced fatty against It. It calls
the scheme "a slippery path "a piece
Of protection, and other blameful names.
"In substance declares the Nation, 1T
seems to be a proposal 10 put large sums
Of British and Canadian money into the
pockets OF a company already POSSESS
ing enormous public subsidies in Canada
and known on that continent a. tho
Government on wheels" Tho practi-
cability Of the route, declares the Nation,
is open to serious question in COMPARE
son with existing routes. Because Of
shorter and better passages and other
natural and economic facilities II now
pays better to carry certain passengers
from England to New Zealand via New
York and San Francisco, or by the Cape
Of Good Hope. Diverting any Of this
traffic to the all red route means substi-
tuting a longer and more expensive for
a shorter and easier journey, that IL,
employing more productive energy than
Is necessary to achieve q given end"
BY such waste Of energy, IL asserts, the
aggregate of wealth and trade in the
empire must be diminished instead of
increased.
"All such considerations" the Nation
periodically admits, might, we agree,
be overborne by the superior importance
Of some great imperial object to be at
tanned in this and in no other way Thus
it aoquiesces in the Cunard subsidy on
the ground hat it ia "a Measure of de-
fence" But in the all red route 1t can see
no similar object. II denies that either
the safety or the progress OF the empire
demands such an economic sacrifice"
1t believes on the contrary that 1T is in
every way safer and more profitable to
maintain intact those trade relations
with foreign nations which have been
established by allowing our commerce
to flow freely along whatever routes
competition has proved to be most
profitable"
In short, the Nation damns the scheme
in the holy name Of Free Trade. Paint
ing it as part and parcel Of the Cham
berlain policy Of colonial preference, It
invokes against it all the forces in Great
Britain hostile to that policy. We may
assume from the appearance of this TRADE
in so responsible an organ that an active
opposition is already at work. So far
as the present Government, at least, Is
concerned the all red route is in q bad
way. Meanwhile the shovels at Panama
are digging a gravefor the remains.

The Conference Will Not shield Eng

OF vital import TO Great Britain is the
proposal submitted on July "a by Lord
REAY to the appropriate committee of

of contraband Of war. As tho mooted

forthwith negatived by q representative
Of Germany It is settled that In the event
Of acontest with a strong maritime Power

Great Britain be exposed to the risk Of

First Treasurer of the United states.

From the Washington Herald.
A great many people have wondered why the
picture OF Michael Hillegas. nrst Treasurer OF the
United States, appears on the new yellow backed
ten dollar bills after the many decades during
which no recognition OF the services OF that faith
full on1cial was forthcoming. IL seems that the
belAted testimonial TO the man whose services to
his country were admittedly worthy is due to q
descendant. the Rev. Michael Lee Minich, q Luth-
sran minister. and 10 former Secretary OF tho
Treasury shaw and the late John Hay. Mr.. Hay
and Mr.. shaw both interested themselves In the
matter Of claims that either Robert Morris or sam
uel Meredith. and not Hillegas. was the nrst Treas
uror, and from the Government archives obtained
proof Of tho correctness OF the contention OF the
Row. Mr.. Minich and othors who defended the cause
Of Hillexas.
Mr. Hillcgas was q sugar rcnner. iron manu-
tacturcr and merchant In Philadelphia before the
Revolutionary War. He placed his funds and his
credit At tho disposal Of George washing ton when
that patriot needed assistance. and 10 was bus
natural thst no should have been given the post
OF Treasurer when tho infant republic came into
being. Mr.. Killegas's fad was historical research,
and no was very fond OF music.
