TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION

From what can be learned OF the
substitute local option law introduced
In the senate to take the place OF the
radical measure which passed the
house. 1t seems TO be very fair law
and We believe 1t should be substi
tuted for the other bill. This is the
position of the Press on the matter
because we do not believe that the
country districts should govern tho
action OF towns and cities In the mat
ter. neither should the towns and cit
ies decide what the country should
do. Saloons are usually located In
the towns and cities, they put up with
the Inconvenience and evils OF the
same, and they alone are interested
IN the larger part OF the revenue de-
rived from licenses. Under these
conditions they should determine
whether the saloon is to be closed or
licensed. a
Too cowardly to take a stand on
this or any other public question, the
Journal undertakes to avoid the is
sue. yet It's editor selects the names
OF few who attended the meeting
at the Commercial club yesterday and
published them In sneering sort OF
d way which reminds one OF the fac
lal expression Of its author under nor
NAL conditions. II any OF the men
who were present at the meeting are
ashamed Of their action In the inter-
est OF justice they should not have
been there. but we presume their
presence to be sufficient evidence that
they have done what they believed
20 be right and are not ashamed Of It,

Events This Week.

New York. Sept. 27.-FinaI arrange
ments have been made for the running

added money and subscriptions for the
stakes amount to $10,740 for the colts
and $10,260 for the fllies and the
starting fees, with an estimated field
of ten runners for each race, will bring
the gross sum to be run up to approx
mately $4,000
Both events will be at six furlongs.
The colt division promises a contest
that ought to equal the best of the
year.
The pick of the field will include
Rocky O'Brien which beat Sweep for
the Hopeful stakes at Saratoga; Bar
leythorpe, the pacemaker in that race;
Candleberry, second in the Futurity,
and Colinet.
For the filly division of the prize the
field probably will include Angerona,
Greenvale, Odd Rose, Starport, Stick
er, Responseful, Fair Louise and Mali
tine, this section of the race to be run
on Thursday.

burglary that has worked the citizens

without attracting any attention and
the theft was not discovered until late
Sunday morning. Sheriff w. K. Myers
Immediately telephoned the police of
Kansas City to watch for the robbers.
The silk probably will be disposed of

PEARY WILL NOT WAIT.
VIII Give Out His Statement Regard
ing Cook at Early Date.

New York. Sept 27.-The tension
in the North Pole controversy is ex-
pected to be relieved before the week
is over, by a statement from Com
the grounds on which he alleged
that DR.. Frederick A. Cook had not
reached the North Pole. When it
was announced to Mr.. Peary at his
home at Eagle Island, Me, that Harry
Whitney had reached Labrador and
had verified DR.. Cooks statement
that he had informed Whitney of his
success in reaching the pole, the COM
lay no longer but would see General
Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the
Peary Arctic club. at Bar Harbor. and
that his statement might be expected
soon afterward.
DR.. Cook, who will soon start on his
first lecture tour. is greatly dis
appointed over the failure of Mr.
Whitney to bring back with him from
Greenland the instruments with
which Dr. Cook made his polar OBJ
servations. The statement of Com
mander Peary justifying his course
in refusing to permit Whitney to
bring any Of Cooks data or pos
sessions on board the Roosevelt has
er declined to make any comment
except that he will now be compelled
to send to Greenland for these
possessions which were left in cache
by Whitney. This Will PROBABLY delay
a final verdict by scientific bodies I'M
til after next spring. which will be
the first chance that the missing
articles can be recovered.
The Roosevelt is now on her way to
New York city and it is believed that
she can arrive here by Wednesday.
Commander Peary is quoted as saying
that if the Roosevelt takes part in
the Hudson-Fulton celebration he will
be on her bridge. Therefore many of
his supporters think that he will be
in the city in a few days.

was at the head of a plot to liberate
many prisoners soon and that this
FASTENED his departure to the govern

Montgomery fought when the Of
ficers appeared and declined to put on
