C~openhagen's Verdict.

After having been 80 ready and en-
thusiastic to acclaim DR.. Cook as the
d~iseoverer Of the North pole, 1t took
great moral courage for Denmark to
reverse itself, and in all the circum-
stances 1t must. be taken for granted
that the University of Copenhagen
stood ready to strain every point in the
explorers behalf, Coming as 1t did on
he same day as the American COM
mittee's declaration that he had not
established his claim to the Mt. Nc
Kinley exploit, the Copenhagen verdict
is doubly SCATTERING to the faith of the
many thousands who believed in the
suave and entertaining traveller and
lecturer.
1t should be noted that the decision
OF the Danish savants is that DR.. Cook
has not proved his case from a scien-
tific viewpoint. Thus he remains dis
credited by the exactions OF scholar
ship, but there undoubtedly will be
those who will cling to popular belief
In his protestations, since he himself
laid no claim to being an expert
scientist, and his report was plainly
that of a layman. II he never reached
the pole, there is to be said OF him that
he was a mighty good guesser. for his
narrative, preceding Peary's, was
astonishingly close to that explorers in
its report of temperatures and other
conditions at the pole,''
AS the case stands, Peary has gone
unchallenged. and learning has
acknowledged him as the ~discoyerer of
the pole. Cook won a wider-spread
popularity, and while the idol seems to
have been shattered, still there will be
those who will see in him a martyr.
The sorrOwful one Of the Copenhagen
verdict makes 1t apparent that ever
the scientists are prone to spread the

The Corporation Tax.

1t was not to be expected that the
corporation tax would remain on the
statute books without suffering a con-
certed attack from sources inspired by
the corporation lawyers, and such a
campaign is now in progress. For
t~unately, we have a secretary of the
treasury who is not readily dismayed,
and he fully understands the animus
behind the abuse hat the opposition
is promulgating under cover, and is
calmly proceeding with the routine
work of enforcement based on the
regulations recently announced after
careful elaboration by the secretary
and the attorney general.
Doubtless the law will be attacked in
the courts, on the basis of constitu'
tionality, but at present it is an active
statute, and as such is to be enforced
both for the sake of the necessary reve'
nue. thus provided for and also for the
sake Of the knowledge which the gov
eminent will thus be able to C OF
the inner workings of corporations sus
pected of being in collision. 1t is THU
publicity feature of the law which
drives terror to the hearts of the pro
moters, and any attacks upon the meas
lure are sure to be based on selfish con
Germ as against public welfare.

silencing the Muckrakers.

The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy,
s~o-called, is an unfortunate product Of
the modern m~uckrakers, involving two
sincere men, each devoted to the public
service, in q misunderstanding which
was in a fair way to adjust itself into
a harmony OF endeavor IL the scandal
mongers had kept hands off. Now, as
a matter Of Justice to both men, an
official investigation is to be made so
that all this poisonous clatter shall be
set at rest.
In its decision to review the case
fully and openly, the administration is
manifesting It's accustomed frankness
with the public. It has been repeatedly
shown that Mr.. Balllnger and Mr..
Pinchot both have been working zeal
ously, with the best of motives, along
similar lines to accomplish the same
results for the general welfare in the
matter of furthering the administra-
tons conservation policy. In spite Of
this, constituencies scribes have con-
tinued to hound the departments, con-
gress and the executive, and the sud
den turning of the tables against the
muckrakers should serve to silence
them as to this particular affair.
But while the Ballinger-Pinchot cpl
sode is now in a fair way to be made a
closed incident after open exhibition of
all the actual evidence, it is not to be
supposed that the kissing of the yellow
serpents will be permanently stopped,
for so Tonga the government lives just
so long will there be creatures of
venom low enough to spread infamous
doctrine against any victim they choose
to malign. No man in public life ever
has been free from the crawler, and no
matter how often Washington drives
the vermin out, the unclean will return
to his habits.

cree. AS an expert in divorce he is al
ready so regarded at Reno.
WI Ting-fang is said to be satisfied to be
transferred from this country. From this II
would appear that the distinguished Orien-
tai has no more questions to ask here.
Thousands of wild ducks are said TO have
met their deaths in Oklahoma this year by
mistaking the oil lakes for water and set

however, the Standard company can hardly
be held responsible.

Business and Pleasure.

The Nebraska Normal board has
served notice on the various communi-
ties to be inspected after New Years
that IL is out for business and not for
pleasure, and doesn't care for midnight
suppers. Nothing in this warning,
however, will necessarily be construed
as an indication that the citizens of a
community may not serve the visitors
with a modest rejection some time be-
fore 8 O'Clock in the evening. The
board may have It's own peculiar views
as to just what constitutes business,
end where the line dividing business
from pleasure should be drawn, but 1t
is not clothed under the law with
power to prescribe to the citizens of
any community what they may or may
not do in the way of entertaining Wis
itors. This being the case, 1t is reason
able to presume that, being warned In
advance of the coming Of the distin-
guished gentlemen On whose word will
depend the location of the so much de-
the citizens will govern themselves ac-
cordingly. In Nebraska hospitality is
quite likely to take the form of tables
decked with snowy linen, lastly gar
nished with attractive tableware and
heaped with such comestibles as even
old Lucullus might have envied. The
Normal board annot prevent this, but
1t would be a mean and suspicious
mind that would harbor the thought
that the warning is sent out thus far in
advance hat the citizens may have
time to get ready.

FUTURE OF room EXPORTS.
Greater Production Needed to Con-
troll Worlds Market.
Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal.
In point of values this country Is doing
less now than in any recent year to supply
foodstuffs to other peoples. Our exports
Of breadstuffs, provisions and live stock
for eleven months this year are the small
est in five years, ever though we have
had excellent crops and a fair supply of
live stock.
We are still shipping an average Of s25,-
OO, 900 worth of these products a month,
compared with $SS, OOO, 900 monthly in three
earlier years. But the days of rising rec
ords on the old basis are apparently past;
and we are facing a situation that is quite
new to us, after q century of surpluses of
such size as to be a determining factor in
the worlds prices.
This tendency to shrinking volume Of
export credits for food products gives rise
to a number of questions. Are we destined
to become an importer OF foodstuffs from
non-tropical countries7 II so. how soon and
where from? Is II populations growth or
the alleged decline In soil fertility that
tends to wipe out our margin of surplus?
Or may it not be both7 What substitute,
IL any, have we in sight to preserve our
balance Of trade when our farm products
fail us?
II American agriculture is on losing
ground, by growing less from a given out
lay OF labor and capital on land, then It is
time to sound the alarm. The frontier
method OF robber farming must give place
to the eastern rotation system, such as the
Pennsylvania Germans nave practiced for
100 years or more. The role of animal life
in the restoration OF soils may be learned
from them. for they care for and fatten
their lands as they fatten their cattle and
their sheep.
Our future as a supplier of foodstuffs lies
in the union between live stock husbandry
and scientific tillage on the same farm. II
wisdom rules here. we may regain in a
higher form our prestige as the seller
OK animal and vegetable products to Eu-
rope. II we fail there the future OF our
agriculture must work out its destiny In
the domestic market. in which no other
country In the world Is so blessed. But our
wheat growers, our dairymen and our stock
raisers viii profit immensely by having to
compete with European methods and mas
ters. where the growing Of grain and the
breeding Of live stock have been sciences
for Loo years.

GROCERY STORE POLICY.
Innovation Worth While in Govern
ment Departments.


Kansas City Star.
A stand-pat senator is quoted as saying
that Secretary MaoVeagh of the Treasury
department runs. his office as he would
a first-class grocery store" And this is
only one Of the many attacks" on the
secretary since he said, I'm his recent Bos-
ton speech, that the system of tariff maxi
ing In this country vas one of "bartering
between different sections and different in
terests."
Come to think of it, the country could
scarcely ask for anything better at the
hands of the government departments or
Of congress than that they manage their
affairs as affairs are managed in a first
class grocery store, which IL likely to be
about the best managed of al, business in
%stitutions. A first-class grocer buys eco
nomically and asks only reasonable profit.
He neither seeks nor acquires mOnopOlistic
control Of any commodity and he never
practices extortion. He is enterprtsing,
using all legitimate and honorable means
to promote his business and he sells neces-
stiles at smaller margins OF profit than he
makes on luxurles. He constantly keeps
in mind the rights and the means of the
masses OF the people.
More than all, he has nc favorites. What
the country needs is a broader applica-
ton of the policies Of the first-class gro
Gerry store in the conduct OF its legislative
and administrative business.

Dear Lord, be good to Santa Claus.
He's been so good to me;

He is so hard to see.
He must love little children so
To come through snow and storm;
Please care for him when cold winds blow
And keep him nice and warm.
Dear Lord, be good to him and good
To Mary Christmas, too.
I'd like to tell them, IL ] could
The things I'm telling you.
They've both been very good to me,
And everywhere they go
They make us glad-no wonder we
All learn to love them so.
Please have him button up his coat
So Il will keep him warm; ..
And wear a scarf about his throat
If il should start TO storm.
And when the night is dark, please lend
Him light If stars are dim,
or, maybe sometimes you could send
An angel down with him.
Please keep his heart SO good and kind
That he will always smile:
And tell him maybe we. will find
And thank him after while.
Pfense keep him safe from harm and keep
Quite near and guard him when
He's tired and lays him down to sleep.

PASSING OF THE SLEIGH.
Little More Than the Memory of the
Vehicle Remains.

chic Remains.
Boston Transcript.
1t is little short of treason to carp at
progress. We shall hardly be able to do
so II in its manifestations we balance
what we have gained against that which
we nave lost. Yet a feeling of regret can
hardly be repressed at times when the
things of life and love that once carried
their thrills no longer possess interest for
q new generation. 1t is not more than a
quarter of a century ago when the sleigh
ing season meant a series of road carnivals
all over New England and in Boston In
particular. Its coming was awaited with
eager interest and Enthusiastically, almost
rapturously, improved when It arrived.
Every man who owned a horse also owned
a sleigh Of some description and 1t was
pretty sure Of making its appearance at
the earliest opportunity. The press went
into descriptions of turn-outs as infinitely
as it nov reports the ladies' gowns at a
New York horse show.
There are sleighs stiIl, and there are con-
servative people who like to recall the old
festival days OF the road by using them.
On a pleasant Sunday there may be heard
quite a jlngling Of the bells over the boule-
wards; but they seem comparatively lone
some and there Is more pathos than pleas
ure in listening to them. The output Of
these vehicles is annually small. When the
sleighing Is good the automobile can be
run, and the two methods OF transportation
do not sympathize. Those who own the
motors can put a little more value into
them by cutting out the cutter. They can
still be seen on the speedways at appointed
times, sbut as a public pastime their day is
nearly over,

Standing Firm in Nicaragua.

The readiness of the administration
to meet every urn of the Nicaraguan
situation displays a thorough Insight
into affairs in that troubled republic.
All Zelaya's efforts at s~idestepping will
avail him naught, for this government
stands firm in its initial resolve to de-
mand a stable executive control with
which it may treat concerning Ameri-
can interests within the Nicaraguan
borders. ~,
1t is manifest that thus far Zelaya
has sought to trick the United States;
as in the beginning, he still dominates
his congress, and the newly elected
president is a creature of his choice.
The insurgents remain actively in the
field, and their revolutionary success
may be required to determine the issue.
The presence of American warships
in Nicaraguan waters must continue a
wholesome factor. There can be no
relaxation of vigilance on u part
until the last vestige of Zelayaism is
wiped out OF the land.
