Terminals May Be Lost to State.

There is now no chance of the state
being able to renew its options on the
property in Chattanooga which the leg
islature authorized Governor Brown 10
purchase for terminal purposes until the
next session OF the general assembly.
Under the resolution adopted by the
general assembly the governor was au-
thorized to pay certain price for each
piece of land. Now that T. Z. baltimore
one of the Chattanooga owners, is hold
ing out for 5000 more than the price
authorized by the legislature, the govern
or has his hands tied as he has no au-
thority to negotiate for purchase at
larger figure. ''
Governor Brown stated yesterday that
no further steps would be taken in the
matter until Mr.. baltimore receded from
his present position, From Chattanoo-
ga comes the news that there is little
possibility taht. he will consent to part
ing with his property for the figure he
originally asked.
There is no telling what action the
next legislature will take and 1t may be
that the terminals will be lost to the
state altogether.

Getting to the North Pole

The story OF getting TO the north pole
reads like a fairy story; and unless DR..
Cook is the victim OF a fake telegram
the long struggle of some hundred Of
years is overland. scientists will get all
that is coming TO them out of his success
and final victory over stupendous diff
eulties.
When was quite a young woman I
read the sad story Of Sir John Franklin,
who was infatuated with arctic explora-
ton and who persisted in his last attempt
The book / read was The story of the
search for the remains OF Sir John Frank
lin-in a vessel fitted out by the Baron
cts widow, who spent a large fortune
In the effort to know HIS fate.
She was inconsolable it appeared be-
cause there was nothing for her but un-
certainty as to his fate-until these res
cuers happened to find some parts Of
his diary and few pieces Of silver
which were used for table purposes and
marked with his crest.
Not a survivor Of the Franklin expes
dition was rescued-all persisted and II
those silver relics and the scraps of his
diary had not been recovered. there would
have been L.ways an uncertain blank IN
the minds of their friends. .- g.
Today's papers tell us that Mrs. Cook
had had no tidings of her husband since
early In March. 1905. For is months he
was lost 10 sight and hearing and no mat
ter what had happened or might happen
to him she would possess no means. Of
knowing-for at least IS months-as to
his actual condition.
And pray what's the good to come out
of this extraordinary stress and strain
risk to Iife-anxiety, danger and sus-
pense?-in trying to stand on the north
pole?
II seems to be a struggle to surpass
other arctic explorers-also rival struggles
with little or nothing at the end OF the
entire business-when they reach the goal
OF their efforts.
II may be gratifying to some people to
climb a high steeple and make a mark
above other peoples marks high up. in
the air. but what's the good?
After these arctic explorers almost per-
ish with intense cold and universally
damage health and physical constitution
what have they gained by putting an
-higher-notch above the last mans
head?
To an old body like myself. IL seems a
daredevil sort of work-and the pity of
II, lies in the consequent endeavors of a
whole lot of rash and reckless people ia
go one better in the next game-WHEN
THEY ARE in hourly danger and suffer-
ing.

Running a Newspaper.

Running a newspaper is just like
running a hotel, only different. When
a man goes into a hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well, hardly. He sets that
aside and wades into the dishes that
suit him. 1t is different with some
newspaper readers. They find an arti-
Gle occasionally that does not suit them
exactly and, without stopping to think
it may please hundreds of other read
ers, make a grand stand play and tel
the editor how paper should be rur
and what should be put into it, bul
such people are becoming fewer every
year.-Ex.
