WORLDS GREATEST
PARADE OF CHILDREN
Half Million Turn Out in
New York Celebration.
Especial to Times-Recorder. }

New York, Oct. 2.-Over a half
million children of the New York city
schools took part in the great parade
here today held in honor of the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration. Children's
festivities were held simultaneously in
5 centers of Greater New York. The
parade was six miles long and it re-
quired $50 bands to furnish the music
Tonight will bring climax to the
whole celebration as far as New York
city is concerned, upstate cities con-
tinuing the program next week. For
this evening the commission has ar
ranged one great carnival parade, with
moving allegorical tableaux, partici-
pated in by the German societies, and
this parade and it's attendant features
of individual celebration are expected
to make the annual New Years Eve
celebration look like a May party in a
country village
At o'clock the signal fires are to be
lighted all along the Hudson. The
points selected are Governors Island,
Fort Lee, Fort Washington, Spuyten
Duyvil, Alpha, Hastings Point, Hook
Mountain, Tigh Tor, Stony Point, Dun
derburg, Anthony's Nose, Sugar Loaf
Hill, West Point, Constitution Island,
Storm King, Bull Hill and Crows
Nest
1t has been arraigned that President
Taft shall give the signal for lighting
all these fires. When the signal is
given rockets, bombs, and an enor-
nous display of fireworks will be set
off at each of the points selected, and
then the great fires will be lighted
which will burn for four hours with a
flame of thirty feet high.

WHY MEN HAVE SOUGHT THE
POLE.

From millions of lips during the
past fortnight, the question has come,
as never before in the history of man
kind, "Why do men seek the Pole?
Why this ambition to reach the very
top of the earth where there's nothing
but frozen silence?"
Ambition, the desire for fame, the
aspiration to accomplish something
that has never before been done, the
working of the old germ that through
countless ages has forced adventurous
men to embark on unknown seas and
venture into foreign lands, has gener-
ally been held accountable for the
impulse that leads men to dare every
danger, to meet every hardship, in
order that they may reach the hitherto
unattainable and overcome what was
supposed to be unsurmountable.
Discussing the current news events
in the Review of Reviews for October
Cyrus Adams has this to say of the
impulse that has been kept alive in
mems veins for century past and has
finally lead to the conquering OF the
secrets of the vast plain OF lee that
has been wonderland Of mystery
since the dawn OF written history
Says he:
The nations have never been so
much impressed by any other geogra-
phical event as by the announcement
that the North Pole has been attained.
1t has been a worldwide topic for the
past month The northern apex of
the globe has been photographed and
the men acclaimed as having unfurled
their flags over it are the heroes of
the day. 1t is a great event and the
story of the conquest of the Pole will
lie in history; and yet not vital hu-
man interest viii be affected by ii
Times have changed. Scarcely
pulse in Europe beat faster when the
Western Hemisphere was brought to
light four centuries ago. News travel
ed at snail's pace then. Generations

century elapsed before the great fact
dawned upon the minds of men that a
vast redistribution of human enter
prise was to be the potent sequence of
a geographical discovery.
The race to-day wants every nook
and corner of the earth to stand out
In the light, both for the good we may
gain from them and for the completion
of our knowledge Of the little planet
We inhabit Nothing less will satisfy
human need and curiosity. The attain
ment of the Pole signifies that we can
and viii produce map, some day.
which will picture the whole world
just as it is.
We read of this first triumph as the
elimination of three centuries of
striving to reach the North Pole. But
the Pole was never sought, for itself,
until the nineteenth century. Robert
Thorne, Henry Hudson, and other old
mariners searched the ice edge for
openings to the north, not that they
had the slightest interest in the Pole
but because they imagined they might
find passage to China across it. The
early whalers were concerned about
the Pole only if they might find new
whaling grounds there. Some of them
made good northings and two or three
even declared that they had been to
the Pole, but their stories will not dim
the luster of the present achievement
The quest of the Pole as a distinct OBJ
ject of geographical discovery has
been known only for ninety-two years
and it began when the British Admir-
atty commanded Captain Buchan, with
two vessels, to reach the Pacific by
crossing the North Pole. The British
flag ever since has been fioated by
most of the leaders who have strug-
gled and agonized and died in their al
| most superhuman Efforts to reach the
coveted goal. There was more sig.
nificance in Peary's dispatch that he
| had nailed the Stars and Stripes to the
Pole than appeared on the surface

Atlanta, Oct. 2.-In an interview to-
day Capt. Wiley Williams of the pris-
on commission, declared that the new
state convict system was giving alb
solute satisfaction. Capt. Williams
said he had visited many counties
since the system was put in operation
on April /, and everywhere the county
authorities expressed the greatest
satisfaction. He stated quite posi-
lively that the new system is no
longer an experiment It's superior
ity to the old lease system is being
practically demonstrated by the en-
thusiasm for good roads and the
splendid work being done to build
them up.

Jamaica rum, Bourbon whisky, and the best imported wines, gave invita- ton to the appetite at any hour of the day, and every day of the week,
 not excepting Sundays, and preachers as well as laymen were the steady patrons of these household bars; talk l ing a generous nip before they sought their pulpits, goodly ltOddy on re- turn, to savor grace at meals, and a
 night cap for these goodly saints, at I the close, made unctiously attractive | by a red hot poker in a. pint of gin i and spices as they snuggled into the blankets.
 | As the directors of this Prohibition ] movement their attention may well be called to the failure of England | in the solution of this problem equal | ly with the supinenss of America to control and elucidate.
 | The most oppressive measures were | tried in England, Scotland and Ire | land, over 12O years ago. The House | So stringent were the laws and so high the taxation that practically only the richest men of the kingdom could af- ford the luxury of a drink.
 What happened? All respectable manufacturers and dealers were taxed out of existence,
 and in their place came the smuggler
 and disreputable purveyors of gin. one of the vilest connections peculiar to England, and more of this red eye" as it is well called, was drunk than ever before.
 The realm of England was torn with
 mobs, riots and continual bloody en- counters for over 25 years, but not un-
 til a vicious assault was made upon one of the high cockolorums called a
 Lord was the law repealed
 The exaction of strict prohibitory laws, without the substitution of wiser and more comprehensive avenues of escape for the weary man, after the days toll is done, than is now found in the miserable surroundings of the
 laboring classes, is so fraught with multiplied evils that the zea1ous bigot may well pause, ere he invokes the tremendous opening of the flood gates which may engulf all forms of re- straint.
 Christ, the greatest master of nor als, points uneerringly to the form of reformation which he illustrated as a house, swept and garnished into so high state of purity and righteous cleanliness, that it only remained for seven devils to enter and take possess ion, who not only destroyed every ves- tige of the immaculate cleansing, but laid waste the entire structure from turret to foundation stone.

fact that it has survived the ages, and appears as an important factor in
 the civilization of the earth. sets forth his views in the following language: l"Then generalized food customs ot mankind are not to be viewed as ran dom practices adopted to please the
 palate, or gratify an idle or vicious aDpetite.'
 .sThese customs must be regarded as the outcome of profound instincts | which correspond to important wants of the human economy. They are the | fruit of a colossal experience accumu- lated by countless millions of men in | successive generations. They have the same weight and significance as other kindred facts in natural history, ana are fitted to yield to observation ana study, lessons of the highest scientific and practical value." 'sI am satisfied '' he says, ''that' three or four genera | tions of total abstainers would lower our mental capacity to the Moslem level and that we should cease as a
 Nation to be the breeding ground for men of genius"
 Sacred history certainly sustains this view-Adam lost his birthright through a prohibitory law-while Noah
 who started the world again in it's onward career, gave us an illustration of exhilaration over birthright which savers, very much of the mod- ern man. His experience on the wat CT wagon-through a vast extent or non -bibulous drink, and his descent from Mt. Ararat, receiving the earth from the Lord, was celebrated by the planting of a vineyard and the mak- ing of wine the, brand of which is not given, but judging from the effect upon Noah, it was quite denOraliz- ing as the wood alcohol of today, and yet Noah lived $50 years after that event. and his son Ham, made Can aan as celebrated for its wine as his father before him, out of which grew race of giants, which terrified the Israelites into a retreat for forty years in the wilderness, after they had reached its borders.
 Secular history records the same recognition of wine.
 Ancient Babylon had her wine cul- ture and distribution, as did Egypt and Assyria, Carthage. Rome. Tyre and Sidon and the race which sur wives tow thousand years of march towards the higher civilization, and has given the finest spirit of justice to all modern nations, the Vikings, Teutons and Germanic tribes, also gave the wassaif bowl, the drinking horn and loving cup.
 In America down to the period of our grandmothers-when the rapid growth of population invoked the larg-f CT organization of saloons, which ab- sorbed the terms of Ale and Porter house."

ing their griefs, saw with the pres cient vision of the truth, the hypocrit- 1cal attempt of the ages to eliminate all evil from the good, and make of
 humanity a whited sepulchre, full of the dead Bones of impossible saints, or
 an immediately cleansed dwelling fit only. for the entrance of seven devils
 to enter and destroy. He swept aside the ten Commandments, and gave the

 seer. knowing that each and every
 member of the human family was but a section of the whole, permeated with
 like passions, appetites and desires, and only differentiated from the
 w hole by the cruelty of their own
 race and environments.
 Leaders who assume that their re- hgious beliefs and theological dogmas are a sufficient guarantee of their inn maculate authority to govern the mass
 of humanity by a thus saith the
 Lord'' without any reference whatso- ever to the natural laws which inhere in every individual for good or evil, or the vast scope of this question which transcends the ordinary look out, are rendered unfit, as Sir Rob- erts states for the research of the highest scientific and practical value, on the habits and customs of the genus homo from time immemorial to our day, nor did they seem able to recognize the appalling cataclysm to the financial world, which must en- sue if their fnpracticable theories were actually brought to conclusion, in the stagnation of those vast rami- f1cations of industries which honey comb commerce and trade, and serve to sustain not only the government, but every form of industrial life which stands for stability and endurance. It is the rehabilitation of Church and State, forbidden in both National and State Constitutinns, and which wrought such havoc in past ages.
 But on the other hand, let us be just in saying that they have awak- ened the public conscience to the dangerous encroachments of the H- quor interests, which have steadily grown into evils, which must be erad- icated, and obedience to law in a reg ulated system of supervision by the government with strict obedience to every thing which stands for those great principles enunciated by our fathers, lest America be overthrown by the enemy within her own gates. and the dissolution of this noble Republic be made possible by the loss of the eternal vigilance, which alone is the
