About eighty school clerks
throughout the county have failed to
send in the reports of the July census
and Supt. Brockert has been mailing
notices to these people to attend to
the matter without further delay.
This delinquency is rather unusual as
heretofore the clerks have been
generally prompt in turning in the
reports. 1t is from these that the
superintendent gains considerable in
formation in regard to the attendance
at the various schools and he is helped
thereby in his enforcement of the
truancy law. In the districts where
new clerks have been elected proper
blanks should have been furnished
them by their predecessors as a
sufficient number were supplied by
the county superintendent.

Edward H. Hartman, whose career
as a financial genius and railroad
magnate evertops that of any man
who ever INDUCED in the business of
gobbling such great properties, is
dead, his demise taking place a few
days ago at his great castle on the
mountain side, at Arden, New York.
Like all great men in every activity,
the good and the bad were in him in
termingled, and some of his exploits
were of a most ruthless character.
such for instance as his ousting from
the presidency of the Alton rail-
road Stuyvesant Fish, the man who
had befriended him and made him
vice president of that road in the
days when he needed rich and power
full friends to promote his ambitious
plans His name was also associated
in a discreditable way with ir-
Irregularities, extravagances and cor
ruption in one of the big insurance
companies. the details of which
startled the country few years ago.
On the other hand it can be said that
every property which he acquired was
benefited and improved by the change
of ownership. He had attained a
power in the financial world which
it was dangerous for the welfare of
the people and the republic that any
one man should possess and had he
lived he would undoubtedly have ac-
cOmplished more stupendous COM
bination of the great transportation
interests than the world has ever
known.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.

President Taft starts to-day upon
one of the most notable trips ever
taken by a chief magistrate of the
United States. His journey will lead
through thirty states and both of the
far southwestern territories, reaching
its climax on October Is at Ell Paso,
Texas, where he will meet President
Diaz. of the Republic of Mexico.
The occasion will be surrounded with
all the pomp and dignity that such
an event demands and luncheon will
be given in honor of the two presi-
dents. 81 Paso is on the boundary
line between the two republics, and
after Mr.. Taft has informally received
President Diaz he will cross the in
ternational bridge to Ciudad Juarez,
to officially return the call OF the
chief executive of the southern
republic. In the evening President
Taft will be entertained at a state
dinner on the Mexican side.
The presidents trip covers an
itinerary OF 12,709 miles. his nrsG
stopping place will be Chicago,
where he will be entertained and on
Friday he will be at Milwaukee for
the afternoon and evening, incidental
Iy visiting the state fair, which is
now in progress. He will continue
on through the west as far as Seattle
and Portland, thence down the coast
through Oregon, California. Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas, back north
as far as ST. Louis, then down the
Mississippi to Memphis and New
Orleans and thence through the
southern states toward home, reach
ing Washington on the evening OF
November 10.

1t is to be regretted that so mo-
mentous an event as the discovery of
the north pole should at once lead
to a nasty quarrel among the adherents
of the rival explorers. Cook and
Peary, as to which one in entitled to
the honor of the discovery. Cook
claims to have reached the pole on
April 81, 1908 while Peary, who has
for many years been making trips
to that region, claims to have found
the pole on April 6, 1909 This
would seem to give the greater
prominence and honor to DIR. Cook.
but unfortunately he seems TO have
been accompanied at the finish only
by two Eskimos, who could not speak
English and who. naturally. did not
understand the instruments with
which the observations were taken.
With no white man as a witness to
his achievement he is thus placed at
some disadvantage, as Peary had at
least one white man if not two with
him when be reached the spot almost
a year later. 1t seems very probable,
however, that when the proofs of the
Two explorers are submitted to
scientific examination they will be
able to show convincingly that while
neither knew of the others presence
they were really near together at one
time and both actually and honestly
made the discovery as they claim.
Both are splendid types of American
daring and bravery. The honor is
big enough to divide between them.
and the public can we'll afford to
await the complete story and forth
coming proofs before drawing definite
conclusions. We should hope it will
not be another affair like the Samson
and Schley controversy ever the

Postmaster General Hitchcock says
he can gradually reduce the cost of
the postoffice department and
eventually make it self sustaining.
Cutting out the ranking privilege by
which senators and members of con-
gress annually send hundreds of tons
of public documents and junk of
various kinds through the mails at
government expense would certainly
help some in attaining that end.
