previous issues, bearing on this con-

Taking them consecutively. "favor-

this contest. That has been amply
proven in the contests of the past The
contestant who works the hardest is
the one who will be the favorite. But
she will not be known until the last

Ballots! You ask yourself if you are
contestant, just how many ballots it
will take to win the contest. You will
not know, any more than you know the
name of the winner, until the judges
have passed on the votes. The number
of ballots you will hold will count as

do not doubt that as the world goes
on deeper sense Of moral responsible
ity in the matter Of marriage will grow
up among us. But it will not take the
false direction of ignoring these our
profoundest and hottest instincts. Mar
rage for money may go, marriage for
rank may 60, marriage for position
may go, but marriage for love, I be-
leve and trust, will last forever. Men
in the future will probably feel that
union with their cousins or near rela>
lions is positively wicked; that union
with those too like them in person or
disposition is at least undesirable; that
union based upon considerations of
wealth or any other consideration save
considerations of immediate natural
impulse is base and disgraceful. But
to the end of time they will continue to
feel in spite of doctrinaires that the
voice Of nature is better far than the
voice of the lord chancellor or the
goyal society and that the instructive
desire for particular helpmate is
surer guide for the ultimate happiness
both of the race and Of the individual
than any amount of deliberate consul
tation. 1t is not the foolish fancies of
youth that will have to be got rid of.

as Guest Of Commercial Club and
Witnesses Ball Game,
Chicago, Sept. 17-President. Taft
arrived here, smiling his appreciation
at vociferous welcome and the flaw
less weather. A dense crowd, re.
strained by perfect police arrange
ments, was at the temporary depot at
Flfty-fifth street, where the president
alighted, and stretched for fifteen
miles along the route his automobile
was scheduled to travel.
No sooner had the president shaken
hands with the members of the recep-
ton committee than he was turned
over to a much larger one represent
ing the various departments of Chi
eago's business and professional life.
Thirteen automobiles awaited the
arrival of the presidential party.
These were entered and two hours

and smiled and waved his hands to
the enthusiastic youngsters, who sang
patriotic songs and waved American
flags in his honor. The president 5
delight at the unique demonstration
showed plainly in his face.
Stirred to Hearty chuckles.
The school yclls of the young people
frequently stirred the president to
hearty chucl1les. The line of review
produced practically an uninterrupted
roar of shrill cries, ranging from the
treble of the little freshman and the
uncertain squeaks of voices at the
changing period to the roars of the
seniors. Girls as well as boys partici-
pated in the uproar and they bore the
burden of the singing.
At l2:45 p. m. the president reached
his hotel and retired for a moment s
rest before taking the seat of honor
at the Commercial Clubs lunch. He
was in the best Of voice and spirits
and looked fine, tanned picture of
good health after his forty days of
golf at Beverly.
After luncheon the president went
to the West Side baseball park, where
he attended the game between the
New York and Chicago National
league teams. The president refused
to occupy box and sat in the grand
stand just behind the home teams

WILL SETTLE COOKS
CLAIM FOR ALL Time
Commander Peary Refers to His
Proof DisprovIng Story.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, via wire
less to Cape Ray, N: F., Sept. IT,
commander Robert e. Peary, further
discussing the claim of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook of discovering the North pole,
said the world expected DR.. Cook to
submit to an impartial tribunal or
board of arbitration a revised and
authentic signed statement of his al
legged discovery of the pole. DR.. Cook
soon would reach the United States,
Commander Peary said, and he was
glad at the prospect of the matter be-
Ing submitted for consideration at an
early date. 1t should be done inside
OF couple of weeks and when it was
done, the commander declared, he was
prepared to turn over to the board of
arbitration, the public and scientific
bodies an array Of proof which would
d1sprove DR.. Cooks claims for all
time.

had been allowed to leak out and
while he would have preferred more
elegant expression he was willing now
to let these words stand, because they
were at least emphatic.
The explorer said also he would
turn over to a competent tribunal and
the public certified copies Of his own
observations made on his trip to the
pole, with all other information bear.
Ing thereon. Peary does not care to
exhibit these records at the present
time, he says, for the reason that the
information contained therein, if
divulged in advance of the placing on
file of DR.. Cooks authentic and def
mite statement, might be of advantage
to the Cook partisans.

DUE TO VARIOUS CAUSES
Imperial Bank of Germany to Advance
Discount Rate.


Discount Rate.
Berlin, Sept. 17.-It is probable that
the rate of discount of the Imperial
bank of Germany will be advanced to
4 per cent. The private rate OF dis
count has been raised steadily during
this month and is now a full 1 per
cent higher than on Aug 81.
This rise is due chiefly to the activ-
ity in speculation on the stock ex-
changes, which shows greater VOL
ume than at any time since the fall of
1905.
Another cause of this changed situa-
ton on the money market is the
heavy investment of German money
in foreign securities. The stamp tax
returns show that the imports of such
securities into Germany during the
past five months are more than six
times greater than for the correspond
ing period of 1908.

Country Against Him.

the last interview with Commander
Peary, sent from Battle HarbOr, Lab
rador, the Hamburger Nachrichten
says:
"These high sounding words have
made an extremely unpleasant i'm
preston and they will scarcely draw
new friends to Commander Peary."
This exemplifies the general tone of
the North German press, which
leans, in this polar controversy,
strongly to DR.. Cook, who is support
ed by the Hamburg Geographical So
ciety.
