The Flag at the Pole.

America wins in the race for the pole.
In the language of enthusiasm, the Stars
and Stripes have been hoisted to the top
of the axis. This fact is foremost dn the
| minds of the American people today, but
| 1t will probably cause no more than mo-
mentary feeling of chagrin elsewhere.
| The polar field has been open to all
comers. There have been no International
jealousies and the funds and facilities OF
all people have been at the disposal of
the explorers willing to hazard their lives
against the great arctic chance. A splen-
did spirit of internatiOnalism has always
been manifested in this respect. particu-
larly in the organizing Of relief expedi-
tions and search. parties to rescue lost ex-
plorers. Americans and Englishmen ex-
posed themselves unfortunately in the
efforts to restore Sir John Franklin to his
family.
1t has possibly been due to the fact of
the close proximity Of Greenland to these
shores that American explorers have been
most active within the last few decades
in the effort to reach the pole. 1t has
been comparatively easy to equip expe-
ditions from this side and place them in
the most convenient point of departure
for the uttermost north. The waters of
Baffins bay have invited the adventur-
ers. On the European side Spitzbergen
and Franz Josef Land, desolate islands
lying north Of the shores of Norway and
Sweden, have been the favorite starting
points.
American pride In the success Of DR.
Cook is pardonable. The conquest of the
arctic has called for supreme qualities,
and 1t is no small compliment to a ma
tion to have furnished the man capable of
passing the test In the long, honorable
record OF unsuccessful undertakings the
spirit of the pioneer. the spirit of the
makers of new nation. has been doni-
nant. and in this final victory II is justi-
| fable for the ellow-countrymen of DR.
Cook to acclaim him as a worthy repre-
sentative Of the United States and TO
thank him for having borne the flag to
the worlds goal.

his own proclamation of success. AS the

District Expenditures.

Auditor Tweedale'S statistics respecting
annual appropriations for the District of
Columbia permit clear view of the dis
tribution of the local revenues and indi-
cate tendency on the part of Congress
which 1t is important to bear in mind in
the preparation of future budgets. The
Commissioners will do well to study these
figures closely and to urge the appropria-
tions committees to write the next ap-
preparation bill in accordance with the
needs of the community rather than any
set policies that may have obtained in the
past.
1t is TO be expected that the Commits
sioners will renew their recommendation
for separation Of the two general class
es of expenditures. those for current
maintenance and those for permanent i'm
provements. There is just as much need
to give the District a larger current main
tenance fund and to finance the outlay for
permanent works as there was half a
dozen years ago. The present course fol-
lowed by Congress in holding the District
to an approximate cash payment basis is
just as much of an injustice now as when
it was started.
1t is noticeable that the appropria tons
for education show the largest percentage
OF increase from the preceding to the
present law. This Is unquestionably due
in large measure to the fact that heavy
expenditures have become imperatively
necessary for the construction of new
buildings, which were really needed long
ago. but which have been delayed because
the local revenues were being absorbed in
such a large degree in the financing OF
permanent Improvements. These build
ings are to be regarded as a part of the
fixed outfit of the District, just as much
as the municipal building, the Union sta
ton Improvement, the sewage disposal
plant and the other works designed to be
of use and benefit to the taxpayers of
decades hence. Yet they are being paid
for out of the current revenues and are
swelling the total of outlay.
Only by system of payment for large
works based upon the business principles
that obtain in other cities and in all
great corporations is 1t possible to main
tain municipal organization progress
sively and with justice to the taxpayers
of the present.

things. has not doubted the declarations
Of those who have reached high latitudes.
In the last analysis polar attainment is
only a matter of a man looking at the
sun through an instrument and finding
that il records the point Of 30 degrees
north. 1t is a question Of ocular accu-
racy. There is no mark and there arc
no climatic signs to distinguish the spot.
The companions of the explorer must in
that hour of great triumph accept his
statement. even as the world must later
accept it.
Polar exploration is necessarily based
upon good faith and honesty. The men
who have gone forth in this quest have
been inspired by the highest motives. The
enterprise has called for the finest quail
ties of humanity. Courage. devotion, self
sacrifice and nobility of spirit are all
essential in the makeup Of the man who
leads others in such a quest. The Ice
fields have never called the coward or the
liar.
