that two men would accept the same
exact spot for the pole. The flag
might have been in sight during clear
weather: We. shall know soon whether
fog prevailed during Peary's stay. 1t
is possible that the exact spot could
only be located after a stay of some
days TO correct possible mistakes by
checks-let us wait till we hear
whether Peary stayed ten days.
One writer lately said that If he
had lived in the glorious days OF
Queen Elizabeth he would have gone
to Bacon and then to Shakespeare for
information that would have remover
all possibility Of error: is anybody
making such efforts in the cause OF
truth today? Clyde Fitch has just
died after a most remarkable output
OF dramatic woTk-at one time he had
FIVE successful plays running on
Broadway at the same time: Shake
speare never achieved such financial
success as Fitch, whose income was
easily 100000 a year from his royal
ties. Shall our children hear the ar
gument that one man could not have
done Fftchis work and therefore Fitch
was a hunbug? Neither Bacon nor
Shakespeare cared a nickel for the
reputation to be expected in their
time from the plays: neither VerTaz-
zano nor Hudson cared fig for the
river In a wilderness credited to them
they were looking for something
else and passed on without the wish
to share in the celebration now being
offered to one or both.
The controversies don't count, but
the time wasted in talk might be de-
voted to something more valuable.
The money spent in looking for the
pole would have given us ship canal
across Florida-did Mr.. Baldwin in
vest more wisely in financing Cook
than did Mr.. Flagler in building a
road across the sea? Both have made
new records: which should be con-
sidered more valuable to the race?

These are questions that the word

The Primary Fight
In New York State.

The spread Of the primary for the
nomination of state, county and city
officers, and the fact that the system
abandoned, so far as We remember
is a good argument for those who
would defend it against the assaults
of its enemies. Just now the big
state Of New York is passing through
a fight between the believers in the
primary system and the political

except state officers; six others for
certain officers; in eleven more pri-
maries are optional or permissive;
and in others similar results have
been reached, without laws, by party
rules. No state, after adopting the
mandatory direct primary, has ever

The Shakespeare-B Bacon contrO-
versy is beginning to blaze anew.
On the banks Of the Hudson it is
proposed to erect a statue to Verraz-
zaIiO by way of disputing the very
name Of the river. An Italian paint
er left US the face of a beautiful girl
and somebody desiring to enhance the
price said il was a portrait Of Bea-
trice Cenci: on the faith of the face
it was cOnclusively proved that Bea-
trice could not be guilty as charged
and the arguments pro and con have
filled volumes, separated friends and
made enemies for generations. On
the superstition that Roosevelt must
know better than Parker what the
Republicans were doing. some OF us
took it for granted that Parker had
made a statement that could not be
substantiated-the superstition has
been proved altogether wrong, but,
meantime, history has been made and
the country must be saved again,
Another controversy is impending
cut il out. Cook asks us TO believe
him on the evidence heretofore &C
cepted as conclusive and we cannot
in Justice deny him He has his OBJ
servations and his diary with two

friends of PCary are the hrSt TO say
they will not believe him. although
Peary made his own observations be
fore with only a negro for witness.
They made no objections when We
pinned our faith TO PeaTy and AbTuZZl
did not dispute the cOnclusion--Why
should PeaTy's friends now proclaim
their unwillingness to believe
claim made BY cable for Cook when
they accept a claim made by cable
for Peary? Perhaps the friends OF
each should be excused for accepting
the word OF a friend, but when they
ask the public to follow one against
another they wrong US.

would be about $4,000 in round fig

representative of the steel bridge
company say that it would cost about
eleven or twelve thousand dollars TO
construct a bridge across the river at
a point near McDavid station. Is il
not fact that these gentlemen did

effort towards building a bridge across
Black Water at Milton, which would
have cost the county twelve or fifteen
thousand dollars at a low estimate?

In conclusion, we would suggest THAI
if Santa Rosa is still unable TO share

annexation, becaese Santa Rosa
