The Secretary asks no favors. All the
records of his Office are open for in
spection. He will assist an investigating
committee In every way in his power.
Aware Of the nature Of the charges, ana.
as he thinks. of the leading sources OF
the gravest of them, he asks that every
thing be done to reach and uncover the
whole truth In the premises. He ana MS

is called undertaking put at permium.
Any committee Of the Senate, regular
or special. should do this work satisfac-
torily. Able men are numerous on both
sides of the chamber. and, while par
tisanship is thorough. fair play is the
rule. The public will expect open SEES

True Heroism.

No hero medal was ever more surely
earned than by Mary Brown. the young
woman who. with a bullet in her lungs.
the other day prevented her deranged
patient from shooting the members of his
family after he had wounded her. This
young woman was on duty. She was
charged with responsibility for the sick
man who had been placed in her care.
While necessarily absent from his side
he procured weapon and in the delusion
of his fever he went forth to slay. Had
it not been for the bravery, the instinc-
tive response to the danger call and the
remarkable fOrtitude OF the nurse a
wholesale tragedy might have been en-
acted. AS it is, the life of this girl lies in
the balance. That she will recover is the
earnest hope of the entire community
She has shown the spirit that animates
the sisters of healing who are enlisted in
the fight against suffering. exposing their
lives when necessity arises, faithful to
their trust, comforting their charges and
allaying the sufferings of disease. No
soldier ever faced death more cour-
ageousIy than did this frail woman, or
answered more promptly to the summons

Secretary Ballinger's REQUEST,

The letter of Secretary Ballinger. read

key, and will accomplish its purpose. II

Interior Department under his manage
ment will be ordered by the Senate. and

the country wishes it, and the interests
of the administration demand it. Charges
have been multiplying despite denials,
and q grave situation has arisen.
II Is intimated that q conspiracy exists

set; that this attack on Secretary Bal

From the New York World.
Every ship which brings to New York
a considerable number of immigrants
from Italy, no matter what flag she flies,

army or navy training and experience.
Why should any European government
take better care Of the health and morals
of its departing citizens on their brief
voyage away from home than Uncle Sam
takes for those who are to become his
citizens? The chief tangible fruit of the
report upon steerage conditions just
submitted by the immigration commission
is the recommendation that our govern
ment also should put officers, both men
and women. on board immigrant ships to
protect and to sift future Americans. Elk

Christmas Presents.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Christmas to many people is not to be
ASSOCIATED from the thought of gift-giv-
ing and gift-receiving. When they think
of Christmas they do not consider pri-
marily the spiritual significance Of the day.
1t means to them first of all prolonged.
deliberate calculation of the ways and
means of satisfying the expectations of a
large number of RECONSIDERATION
that in some instances amount to AFRO
giant exactions. Or else, from the point
of view OF the prospective recipient in
stead of the giver. Christmas means more
or less confident assurance of a hand
some contribution either Of money or OF
some valuable gift convertible into
money. Christmas Is thus in danger OF
becoming commercialized, and the senti-
ment Of the occasion gives way to some
thing like a gamblers reckoning of the
chance of getting more than is given.
In many households at this season the
expenditure for Christmas presents is
most carefully calculated. not that 1t
may be commensurate with the affection
of the giver toward the receiver, but that
1t may be In accordance with the value
of the gift that is anticipated in return.

Estrada's Victory.

Rama may materially help to relieve the
Nicaraguan situation Of embarrassment
to the United States. The election Of
Madriz to the presidency by the congress
at Managua confronted the government
at Washington with q dinicult problem.

Peary the Pole "Discoverer."

The rejection by the Copenhagen Uni
versity of DR.. Cooks claim as discoverer
of the pole in wise affects the case
of Commander Peary, save to remove all
doubt as to the fact that he was the
first man ever known to have reached
that point. Peary's status was al
ready established as one who had
attained to the ultimate north. There
has never been any serious question about
his achievement. In point of fact, 1t was
accepted even more readily than DR..
Cooks assertion. The formalities of ex-
animation and decision were gone through
by the National Geographic Society OF
this city in order to place the exploit
definitely upon a scientific basis.
Polar attainment has been sought for
generations. The main incentive has been
the desire to get there first, to be the
pioneer. Had there been authentic rec
ords of expeditions to the north and
south poles years ago, even two or three
hundred years, there would have been
no particular anxiety on the part or
modern adventures to press to these
points Of geographic interest. The zest
of the quest lay in the prospect of being
the first to arrive. Consequently, when
Commander Peary returned after his sue
cessful expedition it was natural that ne
should have been chagrined to find that
rival explorer had only shortly before
come out of the north with proclama-
ton of polar attainment. Whatever criti-
cism of Commander Peary has been ex-
pressed has been undoubtedly due to pub
lie distaste for the manner of his protest
against the acceptance Of the Cook story.
1t is now apparent that he was justifably
convinced of Cooks unworthiness, and
whatever objection the public may have
felt toward his bearing during the first
few weeks is subject to modification in
the light Of all that has since developed
Commander Peary now stands the un-
disputed 'discoverer' Of the north pole.
It is exceedingly unfortunate that any
thing should have occurred to lessen the
glory of his achievement or to diminish
the public interest in it. In after years
the Cook episode will be remembered as
an unfortunate affair, an exhibition or
deliberate fraud practiced upon a. COM
mendably credulous public following
wholesome inclination to believe in man.
It IL fortunate that the Cook claims have
been found fraudulent so soon. 1t would
have been better II the formal verdict
Of a competent and universally acceptable
authority could have been rendered i'm
mediately after his return from the north.
In terms of polar exploration. however,
the lapse of three or four months is OF
slight consequence. The record is now
written. and it will stand for all time.

The custer of Zelaya from the presi-
dency would not have been accomplished
save for the Estrada revolution. 1t
would have been deplorable If the sac
rifices OF the insurgents led only to a
change of individuals at Managua and
not a change Of regime. The action at
Rama appears to have been decisive, a
large number of the Zelayan forces, in
Guiding the general in command. being
captured. What effect this will have
upon the fortunes of the newly elected
president remains to be seen, but 1t is
probable that the victory at Rama Will
serve at least to warrant the United
States in withholding formal recognition
of the Madriz government for the present.

AERIAL WORK HALTS
FOR LACK OF FUNDS
CONGRESS MAKES NO GRANT
FOR MILITARY TRIALS
Chief Signal Officer Writes That Lack
of Appropriation Will Delay
Progress for Fully Twelve
Months

Brig Gen. Allen, chief signal officer
of the United States army, has writ
ten President J. S. Zerbe of the Aero
club of California that lack of action
by congress for an appropriation will
suspend military aeronautics in the
United States for at least one year
The information comes in reply to the
Aero clubs letter, calling attention &c
the value of Los Angeles as year
around 'eXperimenta1 station.
Gen. Allen says in his letter:
Il beg to acknowledge your letter OF
the Sd inst. addressed to the honorable
secretary of war and forwarded to this
office. which is charged with the sub
iect of military aeronautics. In reply
l have to thank you for the clubs offer
of it's services to the war department in
conducting aerial experiments.
"The unfavorable action of congress
on the appropriation asked for this
year for developing military aeronau-
tics, necessitates suspending work along
this line for at least another year. AS
the matter now stands there will be no
funds available during the fiscal year
1909-1910.
Should congress change its views
and pass an appropriation next winter
it will be possible to resume this work
in July 1910, and it is hoped to place
the United States on an equal footing
with European nations in aerial war
fare. Very respectfully.
