The last forty eight hours Of sun.

oped blossoms on the fruit trees by
the millions, and the tear that the
total crop had been ruined by the
late series of freezes has now been
entirely dispelled. What looked to
be an almost total failure of the
early apples has been changed to a
more hopeful expression of the grow.

blossoms were hidden In the clusters

A Polar Claimant.

All this fuss about the ownership of
the north pole may prove to have been
entirely futile. II the claim Of Mr.
Thomas Acheson Of Pittsburg Is valid
he alone holds the legal title to the peak
Of the world. According to Mr.. Ache
sons statement. he served in the Cana
dian forces during the Fenian raids and
Indian wars from 1865 until 1870. and in
recognition Of his services. which were
those Of q bugler, the Canadian govern
ment gave him a grant Of 100 acres of
land or Ice surrounding the north pole.
He says he has papers to, prove his
claim, which is based upon the English
law.
Now II Mr.. Acheson actually holds the
title to the pole he may be in a position
to have something to say about who is
entitled to go up there and browse
around on his ice hunting for game and
astronomical observations. One hundred
and thirty acres Of ice OF the probable
polar thickness might prove a profitable
commodity. Mr.. Acheson may become
one Of the malefactors of great wealth
II he has any business sense whatever
and knows how to organize trust.
There may be some churlish American
disposed to ask Mr.. Acheson how the
Canadian government acquired the right
to give the pole away even to so emf
>nently deserving an object of consid-

An organization calling itself the Order

quarters at Rome. Ga. The object as
explained by Rev. Mr.. Lamb, the

OF the negroes from America. Territory

by negroes in this country is to be pur-
chased at a fair valuation and the race

The Districts Cadets.

President Taft's decision to open to
competition the three appointments to
the national military service schools which
are at his disposal within this local juris-
diction places 1t within the power Of any
bright Washington boy to get in line with
this possible honor. Heretofore the Dis
trict appointments to West Point and
Annapolis have been made on the basis
of personal influence or family connec-
lions. and competent youths without such
advantages have been excluded from all
chance The President recognizes the
injustice of this situation and has placed
the matter in the hands Of tho District
competitive examinations so that all boys
to become military or naval officers may
have an opportunity to demonstrate their
fitness for designation.
The chances are that these competitions
for West Point and Annapolis will be
keenly contested. Hundreds OF Wash
ington boys are educationally qualified to
meet the tests applied at West Point and
Annapolis. 1t Is probable that a winnow-
ing process may be necessary to bring
the original candidates down to prac-
ticable numbers for the final test. The
Commissioners are now considering ways
and means to the end that the President
choice of the Districts representatives
may fall upon lads who will in every
respect do honor to this community in
the military schools and in the service
of the country later. With this chance
thrown open to them 1t may be expected
that the boys of Washington will devote
themselves diligently to their studies. to
be ready when the call comes to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity thus generous
ly opened to them by the President.

The Corporation Tax.

1t IL reported that the constitution
ality Of the corporation tax Is to be
tested in court. If the decision should
be against that tax the effect might
be to strengthen the fight for the IN
come tax. There was a strong feeling
In Congress at the extra session in sup
port Of the charge that wealth was not
bearing its share Of the national bur-
den, and the corporation tax was the
response to It, The notification Of
that action. therefore. would revive the
charge. and the income tax would be
the alternative. II the corporation tax
goes out on constitutional objection,
the Payne law will be tested purely on
its customs merits. Mr.. Aldrich thinks
1t equal to the test.

A National Reform Needed.

Statistics have been compiled showing
that despite the efforts In certain Clues
TO lessen the mortality incidental TO the
celebration Of Independence day more
casualties occurred the Fourth OF July last
and Immediately following than In prior
wears. The journal Of the American Med1-
cal Association figures that no less than
215 lives were lost in consequence OF the
barbaric practices Of the Fourth, 10 being
due to tetanus There were In all re-
ported $50 cases Of tetanus, of which 100
were accredited to the discharge Of blank
cartridges.
It does not follow from this showing
that the safe and sane" measures which
were adopted in Washington and few
other cities were Ineffective. Indeed. the
contrary is true. The cities where such
measures Of precaution were enforced con-
tributed no deaths to the total mortuary
roll. The increase must be ascribed to
the failure Of municipal authorities else
where to recognize their duty and to
adopt regulations for the protection of
human life. If the example set by
Washington were followed universally the
casualty totals would fall inevitably to
negligible point
In one sense It is as well that the death
toll has grown despite the efforts Of a
few cities. This fact will probably appeal
to the country at large more emphatically
in behalf Of Wholesale reform than though
there had been no increase. or even
slight dfminution. in the face Of the few
local prohibitions. The spectacle furnished
by Washington, contributing nothing to
the casualty record. not even a serious
burning. is the best possible argument for
the universal adoption Of the same meas
ures that were enforced here before and
during Independence day.
What Is needed in this connection is
countrywide prohibition of the danger
GUS devices that are misused on the ma
tional birthday In q barbaric display of
so-called patriotism 1t Is not enough for
cities here and there to put them under
the ban. State legislatures should adopt
the necessary restrictions forbidding their
manufacture. Only by such means will
tho traffic which has cost the United
States many thousands Of lives be
brought under control.

Pennsylvania Prisons q Disgrace.

d ~~SO~O~'
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
One thing 10 very certain. and that
is that the next legislature must take
hold Of the prison question and work
reforms. for today the prisons of Penn
sylvauia are q disgrace.
So bad are the conditions in the West
ern penitentiary In Pittsburg that the
federal government is to remove its pris-
oners from there. Filthy and insanitary
are the words which describe the situa-
ton. Here in Philadelphia. in the East
ern penitentiary. the management Is
unquestionably far better. There Is moth
ing filthy about the Philadelphia prison.
The men are treated decently. II 1t 10
still disgrace to civilization it is 50
not because the management can help
1t, but because the law itself Is at fault.
The cells are overcrowded. hence they
cannot be sanitary. Nor can this hud-
ding of men together be anything but a
menace in itself. Criminal locked up
with criminal simply fosters crime.
We have got to have a new system
an enlightened, up-to-date system. Our
prison laws so far as they relate to the
confinement Of prisoners are antiQuated
and dangerous.

DIR. Cooks Return.

Dr. Frederick Cook returns today to
this country acclaimed as the success
full explorer of the north polar region.
He comes with the prestige of official
recognition in Denmark. country
which. by virtue of long history of
adventure by sea, Is regarded by the
world today as competent to judge or
. such a performance. Since DR.. Cook s
return to civilization from the frozen
zone another explorer has come out OF
the north. not merely proclaiming his
own attainment of the ultimate lati-
tude. but denying DR.. Cooks claims and
discrediting his observations. de-
plorable controversy has been precipi-
tated. owing largely to the fact that
the rival aspirant for polar honors has
injected into the discussion a personal
bitterness which has turned from him
the sentiment Of most Americans.
DR.. Cook has unquestionably borne
himself in this trying situation with
admirable courtesy toward his rival
and with a sincerity that has appealed
strongly to both hemispheres. II he
should later be proved a faker by I'M
mistakable demonstration that he was
never at the pole, he will at least be
remembered with admiration for his
department throughout a most difficult
situation. If, on the other hand, the
charges directed against him are un-
founded, to the admiration which Is
freely given him by his countrymen
and by foreigners for his exploit will
be added the sympathy of those who
are believers in the doctrine of fair
play and who have no tolerance for the
bad loser in any game.
It is greatly to be regretted that Com
mander Peary. after his years of arctic eff
fort. should in the hour of his triumph les
sen his prestige by display OF temper and
by an impetuous onset against the man
who has been received as the polar dis
coverer. The American people feel that
the glory of having sent the first men
to the pole has been dimmed by the
spectacle of this unseemly wrangle, S.
pecially in view Of the high standard
which has been maintained in the past
throughout all the years Of self-sacri-
ficing, heroic endeavor to solve the
problem of the great frozen north.
DR.. Cooks welcome would probably
have been somewhat more enthusiastic
II no cloud had been cast upon his title
as the first white man to reach the
pole. But those who believe in him.
those who refuse to reject his claim on
the mere assertion Of q disappointed
rival. will be no less hearty in their ex-
pressions Of admiration. Indeed, on this
day Of his home coming he is regarded
by a great multitude Of people with the
more kindly interest because Of the
assaults that have been made upon his
integrity and honor.
