POLAR EXPLORATION

N RAYBEARDED men of today re-
VT call the pathetic story of the loss
" of Sir John Franklin and his
party in Arctic wastes and the beauti-
full tribute of love to him in the efforts
put forth by his wife. Lady Franklin,
to find the explorers. The subject then
was new and of the deepest interest,
fors the limited knowledge of Arctic
lands then gave hope of possible
northwest passage. which, till the adj
vent of screw steamships and the
Suez canal was much desired by the
commerce of the world.
In the long years intervening what
was then a great necessity of COM
merce has come to be but prize for
the most daring navigator, with no
possible rewards other than certain
geodetic data, and each succeeding
year sees some devoted man up and
going for the polar spaces; and so
persistent have the efforts been that
all the world has come to be inter-
ested. Peary defers his voyage till
next year and Wellman is awaiting
favorable winds to launch out on the
most reckless experiment of all, taking
chances which, local law forbids an
exhibiting aeronaut to take in civilized
lands.
Now comes news that the ship
Duchess of Bedford of the Anglo
American Arctic expedition, in search
of new continent, supposed to be
north of the Mackenzie river, is lost
in the ice, and three of her officers
have narrowly escaped death.
In the news received from these men
before they left they stated; ut has
been reported by whalers that there is
land to the northward; the tide indi-
Gates it, and the fact that the ice never
leaves the shore more than a few miles
points to land a hundred miles away"
Just what good to any people there
can be in land from which the ice is
never absent is difficult to understand,
and the scientific possibilities of such
voyage can never repay the outlay
and suffering involved. Public opinion
is being keyed up to the point of
frowning on further foolhardy at
tempts at locating the pole, and pos
sible even probable, disaster to Well
mans expedition will strengthen the
feeling. All possible good to accrue to
commerce in Arctic waters is now
known. and the elusive trend, bearing
or location of the magnetic meridian
cannot materially help the science OF
practical nautical astronomy.
If the north pole were found 1t

the new year will bring it's burdens, as
we'll as its blessings. and If we read
Alright the message of this hour, the les
son of this day, we shall be stronger to
bear the burdens which the unborn time
may put upon US. We ask to be in
seribed in the book of life and the path
of true life leads upward and onward.
And my hearts fervent prayer is that
when twelve months hence we shall be
gathered here again, all of us, If so 1t
be the will of God, and the question be
asked, What seest thou? our answer
may be given in accordance with the
lessons of this time duly applied.
"And If my prayer be answered by him
who heareth prayer, then shall be IN
the happy position a year hence to find
you all around meAin health and strength,
my beloved congregation grown in num-
bers, in devotion and spiritually; II my
prayer be answered sweet bonds of love
and friendship between us will be strong
er than ever, and together we shall pc
found engaged in larger works OF cnar-
ity and observation-disclosures; If my prayer
shall be answered your names and the
names Of those near .and dear to you
will have been entered for good, happy
and prosperous year"

THE CLIFF HOUSE

NY the loss OF the Cliff house
X through fire on Saturday the
~ people of San Francisco and CAL
ifornia at large lost the most noted and
Ifrequented resort west of Chicago,
When Bret Harte apostrophized the
old cross on Lone mountain, and Col
Richard Realf sped bullet TO his
racked brain that took him from among
men. 1t was at the Cliff house they
had been entertained and primed
each for the Characteristic act. Henry
George of Progress and Poverty"
fame, then a poor gas meter inspector,
sat at it's celebrated mahogany, face
to face with the members of the Com
stock "big four" and Ralston. and
Meigs. and Ben Holiday, and Sam
Brannan, and John Mccullough, and
Edwin Booth, and Governor Downey,
and Gen. George Stoneman, and Gen.
Rosecrans. and Gen. Grant. and
scores of the good and great of all
lands, pet and mingled there to learn
the true inwardness of California hospi-
tality.
When the mariners, who made Cali
fornia possible, passed out to sea they
dipped their ensigns to the Cliff house
flag, and their steam sirens sent a
solemn good by to noted men certain
to be there. When the return voyage
brought the mariner again to the
Golden Gate the most marked symbol
of welcome was the dipping of the
Cliff house flag, which told him that
though absent he was not forgotten.
Royalty of blood and royalty of
beauty and brain have feasted there.
and the story of the Cliff house would
in large measure be the history of Cali
fornia in the sos, COS and '7Os. Mo-
mentous legislation was born in its
dining rooms and fortunes won and
lost in its council chambers.
In the troublous times of the Dennis
Kearney riots scores of Mob Hill mag
mates, dreading an onslaught from
angry and starving labor, crowded it's
halls and feasted on good things, while
the Central Pacific people gave labor,
on railroad cuts, to the masses for 81
per day, silver, no more, no less. and
the choice spots in San Francisco were
occupied by free soup houses.
Much of the good that has blessed
and much of the bad that has cursed
San Francisco was born and nurtured
there, and the roads to the .far-flung"
graves of it's old-time patrons would
lead one all over the earth. The
havens of the pious padres claim and
receive veneration and respect, even in
these money-hungry times. Tomb
stones that tell of prominent men of
the '49 contingent compel the tribute
of sigh for the "days of DID," but
the sight of the barren and blackened
rock on which stood the Cliff house
will bring tears to the eyes of power
full men unused to weeping, through
the unlocking of memory's great store
of sacred acts developed there that
made the men, the measures and the
state great.

THE SWAN Ps

All, gray and green lie the swamps between
Our way and the woods beyond
And the hymn they sing is an olderf thing,
Plaintive and true and fond
Come you away from the hills" they say,
From city and and burn;
Lower your eyes from happy skies,
Sit by our side and learn.
For meek are we. and subrnissively
We bear our portioned pain,
With no succoring arm to heal the harm
OF winds and the ruthless rain.
ITO the lashing blow of the unleashed snow
We turn timid face.
We raise dim hands to the nobler lands.
For ours Is the scorned place.
mo treasure ours of attared flowers;
We lift no honored head.
Neglect and shame are our only claim
We, Gardens of the Dead
"And yet we know that the evening glow
Is ours by ancient rite
And our humble car is tuned to hear
The creed Of the star-spun night.
,'By the quickening cheer CT the turning veal
Are we ever glorifed;
And we are kissed by the gentle mist
That knows not place nor pride"

FRANCES PREDIcAMENT

TT ANDICAPPED by a lack of
III troops, chained to the coast by
the terms of the Algeciras con-
vention, France has thus far fought on
the defensive in Morocco. The serious
punishment the troops have inflicted
on the fanatical Moors has proved Of
no avail in the way of discouraging
them. Machine guns and modern rifles
have mown down the Mohammedans in
CHASTITY windrows, yet others have come
back in fierce attack over the bodies of
their slain brothers. This demon
strates the futility of attempting to
may not advance and follow up
repulse.
Standing aloof, the powers of the
earth are watching Frances predica-
ment with deep interest. The situa-
tion is one of the most serious that has
confronted European internationalism.
From political difficulty the question
has expanded into a grave prac-
tical problem of subduing a fierce
and fanatical foe, animated by that
most impelling of motives, religious
hatred. In the absence of a strong
central government and in the counter
acting presence of a dispute over the
throne the revolt of the tribesmen
against foreign Intervention is prac-
tically an uprising of the whole people.
1t is believed by the Europeans that
the only cure for the conditions in
Morocco is sweeping campaign of a
composite force such >as that which
marched in 1900 to Peking and quelled
the Boxer rebellion.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-09
COLUMBIA AFTERMATH

A POOR aftermath of the sad Column
n bia disaster comes in the shape
Il of official condemnation of the
dead captain. and similar punishment
for the living captain of the San Pedro
while an officer of the San Pedro is
deprived of his license for several
years. Something is said in condem-
nation of the condition of the bulk
heads in the ship, and so The historic
incident is closed.
Here was a passenger steamship,
after due legal inspection by the men
who wrote these sentences, permitted
to carry hundreds of passengers when
it was known Cor should have been)
to the inspectors that the Columbia
was not fitted with competent bulk
heads to meet such a call as came. II
she had transverse bulkheads from her
keelplates to her main deck, properly
fitted with automatically closing shut
ters, to be worked from the engine
room or bridge, \the carelessness OF
officers so fully and rightfully con-
demned could not have taken the lives
of scores of innocent and helpless
persons.
Inspector Birmingham is hereby not
flied that there are now plying on the
California and northern Pacific coasts
a score of steamships, all carrying
passengers. any one of which would
sink in ten minutes if in the same
position as the Columbia occupied;
and there is no method whereby the
officers of these ships can be forced to
keep the printed rules of the road for
navigation, any more than there were
to compel the officers of the Columbia
to do so. The fogs are perennial and
the danger of collision imminent at all
times.
1t is cold comfort to the families of
the drowned passengers to tell them
the rules were in frames in the pilot
lowed the collision occurred. Where
are the logbooks which should record
every course, distance and speed for
every hour of the night and day? Who
examines them at either end of the
trip? If they are examined who makes
complaint? If complaint were made
who would notice it? Who examines
any coasters logbook but the main
office people? Who among them will
make complaint?
And so the travesty has proceeded
and will proceed till the bones of thou
sands bleach on desert beaches from
Nome to Cape ST. Lucas, and what
are you going to do about it?''
Legislation could compel seaworthy
ships with all modern appliances and
inspectors to hold navigators respon-
sible for dereliction of duty, but 'in-
terests" and influences" and pulls
intervene, and wholesale death is
eclipsed in the great question of divi-
dends. So true are all these things
that these types might lie on galley
in the composing room and the article
be reprinted when the next floating
coffin enshrouds her complement of
dead.
