dice against Republicanism that for

No longer do the mothers threaten
their children with the dire punish

there has grown up spirit of tolera-

Within the last few years Virginia
has awakened to the value of her
natural resources and her ability to

America Has First Claim,

Moreover he asserts that his expedition
for that purpose was an American eX-
petition, backed by American money.
Under the circumstances there does not
appear to be any good reason why his

have been submitted first of all to the
recognized scientific authorities in his
own country. There does not appear to
be the first good reason why it

is evident that the records he claims
to have will not be available for Amer
lean scrutiny before sometime next
spring! In the meantime DR.. Cook will
be reaping a harvest of American DOL
lars on the lecture platform. 1t is not
surprising tnat the more TINS deliber-
ate tying up of DIR. Cooks alleged
proofs is considered by the American
people the less it appeals to them. 1t
looks like a subterfuge-a clever
play for delay. To the credit
of Peary let it be said that he
has not sought to tie up his records by
giving foreign country the first
chance to inspect them. He brought
them home with him. He holds them
in readiness for immediate submission
to the critical scrutiny of the great sci
entists of his own country. He courts
no delay. He is an American, who,
with the aid of American money plant
ed the flag of his country at the North
Pole. Having done so he has made his
way back home with his proofs, ready
and anxious to submit them, first of
| all, to the great authorities of his own
country. and to abide by the verdict of

Poor Old Spain.

Spain finds itself in a peculiar posi-
ton at the present time owing to the
riots of the people at Barcelona. The
riots were begun because the people
were dissatisfied with the war then
being waged, claiming it was simply
for the furtherance of private interests.
AS a matter of fact Spain was ex-
ercising police power conferred by the
Algericas Conference. The Govern
ment of the country found itself sore
ly beset on account of the riots and
was driven into the open.

Business and Good Manners.

What does it mean when st. Louis
man finds a field for crusade against
| the male who will sit contentedly i'll a
| trolley car while ladies stand? Where
| is American chivalry towards the
weaker sex when we have reached a
point where a man can really become
famous through such crusade? Have
we ceased to pay woman the homage
due her? Have we become so blunted
in the finer things of life in our rough
and tumble scramble for dollars that we
have forgotten the proprieties?
While this man of St. Louis is gath
ering fame and appreciation by his blue
button for the man who has some of
the instincts Of gentleman. New
Workers are wondering what would be
the fate il the blue bottom crusader
had launched his idea in New York.
From slight experience it seems al
most certain that he would be jumped
upon by the masculine populace and
then arrested for disturbing the peace.
1t is well to note also, that all the hogs
haven't moved to New York. The rea-
ticed more in the large cities is because
cities Invariably have Goth century
crowd and a 10Th century trolley sys-
tenn. 1t is only the man or woman who
can board the conveyance early In it's
journey who gets a seat and after the
first block it requires large amount of
brute strength to negotiate the rear
platform, to say nothing of the protec-
ton Of the interior of tie car.
Some ladies prefer to stand. They
are very few in number. Others repay
the courtesy of a tired workingman
ccptible nod that is really an insult
Still others sweep the car with a beIlig-
Grant air that challenges any man to
refuse to proffer his seat. There are
yet others who do not even bother to
acknowledge the courtesy at all. With
the exception of the first class, the
temptation to retain the seat springs
quickly to most men. 1t is his duty to
relinquish his seat, however, for the
ill-mannereG acts of the woman in the
case does not excuse him in a display
of equally poor breeding.
The infirm aud the real gentlewoman
seldom have cause to complain-out-
side the large cities. In the cities her
only nope is someone like the blue but
ton nan-and he is almost a forlorn
hope. With the advent of women to
business life it seems that We are in
evitably losing the habit of paying wo-
men the little courtesies which charac-
terize the relation between the sexes In
other days. Business may not be the
cause, but it is significant that habitu-
al neglect of the performance of cour-
teous acts has become more and more
noticeable since women became more
and more numerous in offices, shops
and stores.
