Tram from the northern coast of Fin
land. His was the novel scheme of
being carried in the ice foe to the
pole. His vessel entered the foe on
September 20, but the drift carried II
toward spitzbergen rather than to
ward the pole. DR.. hansen decided
that he would have to leave the ship
and make trial with sledges.
He left the Tram, and with IS dogs,
three Eskimos, and two skin canoes,
started out over the Ice on March 10.
1895. In II days he had reached a
latitude Of SO degrees and IA minutes
north. At that time this was 40
geographical miles further north than
the best previous record, made by
Lockwood back in 1882.
hansen was 261 statute miles from
the pole. equal to tho distance from
New York city to the southern boun-
dairy of the White mountains. hansen
had many hardships in getting back.
He lived for ten months In q house
built OF stones. with . walrus hide
roof and the whole buried in snow.
He finally was picked up OF Cape
Flora by the jackson expedition. which
had spent two years in Franz Josef
land. He arrived at Vardo. whence
he had sailed. on August Is. 1906.
About q week later his ship Tram.
which had been carried for years in

Frobisher in 1876 and Davis In 1853
made voyages to Greenland and the
north coast of America. Henry Hud-
son in 1907 reached latitude 73 de-
grees on the eastern coast of Green
land and added to the knowledge Of
Spitzbergen. which was discovered by
q Dutchman. William Barents. in 1855.
Through the seventeenth and eigth.

SPEAKING of the happy vacation days
of yore, the Cumberland Evening Times
expresses doubt if the present gener-
alton enjoys these days of freedom
as did the boys of fifty years ago. The
editorial in the Times concludes as fol-
lows:
With so many modern holidays and
the scholastic year shortened as to sug-
gest that it is but little better than an
attachment to vacation, we made bold
to say that the school children of this
day, offquestionably wise modernite, do
not enjoy vacation as did their forbears
in the earlier and purer days of the re-
public, when hickory-oil was vigorously
applied to the limbs of the oncoming
great leaders of the parties whose
achievements, in the great domain of
craftsmanship, led the country to its
present colossal proportions.
1--WE submit that we have not far to
go before:we find the cause Of such sad
falling away from the high standards
and lofty ideals of the past. In the
coinage of high character, the Ameri-
can home has been cruelty robbed of its
former glory, by the multiplication of
rival shrines Of amusement in clubs for
the father, afternoon teas for the moth
er, and kindred appliances for the young
people, far more Partisan than Ameri-
can in the destinations presented.
1--WE will not undertake to say how
far the schools as at present conducted
are responsible for the sad changes
which have come. We will say that
the American fathers and mothers, sur
rendering the God-given charter of
home, older than Church or State, have
had much to do in bringing about the
present. social conditions of many parts
of the country. a crippled hybrid of
French indulgence and American self
consciousness.

ACT NOW.

The country press is now becoming
thoroughly aroused on the subject of
Uncle Sam supplying printed envelopes
in direct competition with the printers
of this country, and raising the question
as to the right of the government to do
this class of work. Under the present
law it is admissible, but the law should
be repealed, and strong pressure is
being brought to bear on congress to
this end. Definite action will likely be
taken by the several state press asso-
Citations meeting about this time, and
the question will be laid before senators
and representatives at Washington in
such way as to show them the injus-
tice of the practice The matter has
been neglected so long and the govern
ment has been so active in soliciting
this work that it has grown to very
large proportions, and this competition
is being keenly felt by the commercial
printers in the country. In the aggre-
gate the loss amounts to thousands of
dollars annually. The business should
never have been diverted from the
legitimate channels of trade, but if
prompt and aggressive action is now
taken on the subject there is no good
reason why it should not all come back.

He may not die multimillionaire,
and perhaps it will be just as wei for
himself and the world if he does not.
But let him keep his eyes open and his
mind; let him be quick to see and apt to
learn; let him seize opportunity when II
comes and make the best of ever facul-
" he has; above all, let him keep his
hands clean and his heart pure and do
the duty that lies nearest to him, in
faith, in himself and in his fellows and

misfortune should overwhelm him and
he should miss the prize for which he

his children will be proud and he will

AMENDING THE SHERMAN ACT.

Amending the Sherman act is going
to be extremely difficult next winter in
the light of the suit against the Sugar
Trust for closing the Pennsylvania Re-
finery. For this act, deliberately taken
by the trust to maintain prices by limit
ing production, the American Sugar
Refining Company has deemed it wise
to surrender 81, 600, 600 par of securities
and pay in cash sum currently esti-
mated at 81, 900, 900.
This demonstration of the value of
the Sherman act in curbing monopoly
will bring Congress back next winter
from constituents who believe that the
Sherman act is effective. The decision
in the hatters' boycott, early IN 1908,
abruptly ended any attempt at amend
ing the Sherman act in the last Con-
gress. A majority was apparent in
both Senate and House in favor of
amending the Sherman act, letting rail-
roads pool and putting trusts under su-
pervision.
The boycott decision brought flood
of protests from small manufacturers
and shopkeepers all over the country
against changing an act which made
bOycOtts criminal. The Sherman act
will not be changed in this particular.
The Sugar Trusts spectacular pay
ment under the threat of the penalties
of the Sherman act will arouse the same
feeling IN regard to trusts and their
efforts to keep up prices by keeping
down product. The average plain man
IN the street is certain to feel that an
act which protects competition and
heavily mulcts trust is a good thing
to keep as it is.
President Taft has fortunately urged
a sane, conservative amendment of the
Sherman act intended to preserve its
present powers, substituting Federal
regulation for criminal indictments.
Much will be gained if this can be Sc
cured. Both ex President Roosevelt
and President Taft have urged that
railroad pools should be permitted un-
der the supervision Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. This is need
ed, but this will also be made difficult
of enactment by the new railroad con-
sohdations in progress.
If no legislation on these issues is Sc
cured next winter it will be because
trusts and railroads have aroused oppo-
sition and suspicion by the monopolies
of the one and the growing consolida-
ton under one control of larger and
larger railroad systems.

FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
THE HOME PAPER.

With all due modesty we believe the
home paper is the most important in
stitution in any town. It's the medium
through which the town speaks to the
outside world and is the means of
communication between the people of
the town and vicinity. Long age,
under inspiration, 1t was written, mo
man liveth to himself" and this truth
was never more apparent than it is
to-day. No man can retire from activ-
ity and live. He must know what is
going on about him, and the world
must know what he is doing. The use
of the newspaper is the best plan by
which this is carried on
