THE READING AMERICAN

The reading American is every where, and up to date. His paper, his magazine, his library, are sim ply indispensable to him, while the telegraph, wire and wireless keep him in touch with the world on the current history of the day.
 It is one of the best signs we have of national stability and req diness. Great emergencies are met all over the land with communal understanding and appreciation that save days and weeks of coach ing and preparation, and drilling for action. The country is never asleep; the president, the governor, the mayor, always find the people on the spot when they are wanted for high purposes, and thousands of them equipped for leadership,
 No country In the world mas as many readers of the daily news as the United States; if there are classes in this country, there is a paper for each, and all are studied avidly; the nation is never without 2 working knowledge of the great events transpiring, or to transpire. From Puget Sound to the Keys of Florida, and from the St. Croix to San Diego it is the same, and the eyer-present, common public school is at the bottom of it. It is a splendid equipment and the eoun- try at large appreciates it.
Alaska sentinel., 1908-07-23

Peary, the brilliant, plucky, ex- perienced American naval officer is going into the hell of the Arctic again for three years with twenty two trained associates, and a stout ship to try once more for the solu- tion of the eternal problem of the North Pole. We shall all be proud if the supreme honor of this great geographical stunt shall fall to America; and we know of no Amers ican to whom the credit might fall with more aptitude than Peary. He is entitled to all he may get from the voyage, and he is no nov ice in the quest. He may find his grave up there along with many another bold spirit whose strength and courage wilted before the in- calculable horrors of the secretive north and if he does, we will sim ply have one more historic figure in our laudatory annals; and if he succeeds and lives, we will have practically the same thing and nothing more.
