NO LAND AT THE NORTH POLE.

Peary found conditions that DR..
Cook said prevailed at the North Pole.
Land was nowhere in sight and the
extreme north was marked on an ice
foe. Eventually that part Of the
North Polo may be found floating
around Spltzbergen.
There is a discrepancy in the de-
gree of cold. Pcary says the day he
reached the pole. the thermometer re-
corded SO degrees below zero. Cook
experienced SO degrees below. That
variation In the Arctic is possible, just
as 1t is possible for a great difference
in temperature to be noted In any To-
cality. from year to year.

one of his last marches. When DR.
Cook said he made 20 miles In day,
his enemies declared he had perform
ed miracle.
So far Peary has aided in proving
DR.. Cooks claims.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Il, 1909
LINCOLN CENZENARY.

One hundred years ago today, in
a log cabin in the then wilderness of
Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln, the
man who afterwards become the CEN
trail figure of the world and who is
now regarded as one of the worlds
greatest men, as well as one of its
noblest martyrs, first saw the light
of day. Born of obscure parentage,
reared without the advantages of a
civilized community, Lincoln fought
mis- own way to the forefront and
gave to the world a striking example
of the possibilities then afforded and
still afforded to the American boy.
Time has not only done justice to
the memory of Lincoln but, as with
Washington, each year adds new lus-
ire to his name. His life ended at a
time when the country was torn with
bitter internal strife, and it could not
be expected that all people should at
that time view his career in favor
able light. Time has shown. how
ever. how right he was and how great
he was, and today the whole nation,
North and South, East and West, pays
tribute to his memory.
Today at the birthplace of Lincoln,
near Hodgeville, KY, a gathering al
most unprecedented on any similar
occasion was held, and there the cor
nerstone of the Lincoln memorial was
laid this afternoon. President Roose-
velt. Ex-Governor Folk of Missouri
and other notables were present and
delivered addresses In another col
nmn of the Herald report of the
big gathering, together with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's address, are given.
This is probably the last public ad-
dress which Mr.. Roosevelt will deliver
as president of the United States. The
Herald has been at some pains and ex-
pense to give this address to its read
ers the same day that it was deliver
ed. but The Herald believes that moth
ing is too good for Brownsville, and
feels assured that such enterprise
viii be appreciated by its readers.

Any newspaper publisher who does
not make enough out of the business
TO pay his railroad fare when travel
ing either for business or for pleas
ure, ought to shut up his office and
adopt some other calling. The prac-
tice of accepting railroad passes in
exchange for advertising is wrong in
principle and bad for both the paper
and its patrons Every newspaper
should demand pay for it's advertis-
ing space in cash, and the railroads
should also be paid for their serv-
ices
