The reaching Of the north pole by
Commander Peary is of special local
interest in this section because his
ship, the Roosevelt, was built in
Bucksport, in this county, and has a
Bucksport man, Capt. Wardwell, as
her chief engineer. Peary himself has
many friends and acquaintances here
abouts, all OF whom regret the unfor-
tunate controversy which has arisen
between him and DIR. Cook. 1t is al
most inconceivable that DIR. Cook can
be taking, and it was hardly less con-
ceivabIe to those who have met Peary
that he could descend to such charac-
terizations OF fellow scientist - he

ex-senator Hale,s Influence"


In another column is reprinted from
the Rocklan5 Courier Gazette an
interview with Maj. Herbert M. Lord
on Senator Hale's influence. OF Mai.
Lord the Kenaebec Journal says: "No
man in this country il better qualified
to speak upon this matter than 10
Maj. Lord, who is not only . tariff
expert Of acknowledged ability, but
also one who was 20 situated ~ to be
thoroughly familiar with every phase
Of the work Of formulating and pass
ing the present law. Maj. Lord was
Chairman Dingley's chief clerk whom
the tariff bill of 1897 was considered
by the ways and means committee.
So thoroughly did he make himself
the master Of all the details entering
into that legislation, that whom the
ways and means committee took up
the work Of formulating the new
tariff law ct the recent special session
Of Congress, Chairman Payne
promptly secured the services Of Major
Lord. Whatever Major Lord says,
therefore, in connection with the
recent tariff legislation is entitled to
special weight. The tribute he pays
to Senator Hale for the able work he
did in looking after the interests OF
Maine at every stage OF this legis-
lation is merited one."
Continuing the Journal says: 1.-THE
work done by Senator Hale was of the
utmost Importance, and will not fail
to be appreciated by the people of
Maine. Senator Hale was peculiarly
well situated to perform this great
service to his State. Not only is he
the acknowledged leader of the SEN
ate, but he was also favorably placed
in being member OF the conference
committee, which dealt with the intri-
cate questions of compromise that

The President has appointed Prof.
Henry G. Emery chairman of the new
tariff commission or advisory board
which il to assist him In the execution
Of the new tariff law, with especial
reference to applying the maximum
and minimum clauses to nations "a
they are friendly or unfriendly in
their tariff relations with the United
States. The other members OF the
board are Hon. James B. Reynolds, of
Massachusetts, assistant secretary of
the treasury, and Alvin H. Saunders,
of Chicago, editor and proprietor of
the Breeders Gazette.
The appointment of Prof. Emery
came to him unsought and unex-
pected, and was as much of a surprise
to him az it is gratifying TO his fellow
citizens, for he is an Ellsworth boy,
born here Dec. %, 1872, the only son
Of Mr.. Chief Justice Emery.
Prof. Emery is graduate of tie
Ellsworth high school; of Bowdoin,
class of 1892; of the Harvard graduate
school in 1913, with the degree of A. M.
In 1895 Columbia conferred upon him
the degree of Phi. d.
He was instructor in economics at
Bowdoin in 1ss4-96; he studied in Ber-
lin, Germany, one year, and was made
professor of political economy in 1897.
He went to Yale in 1900, succeeding
Prof. A. T. Hadley on his election to
the presidency of the university.
Prof. Emery is the author Of .Specu-
lation on the Stock and Produce Ex.
changes Of the United Statesn, and
his writings and lectures on economic
and kindred topics have attracted
much attention both in this country
and abroad.
Prof. Emery is just now at Hancock
Point, where the Emerys have a beau
tiful summer home, but will shortly
leave for Washington, where he will
make his residence. He will not, how
ever, resign his professorship at Yale,
but will be granted leave of absence.
The board Of which Prof. Emery has
been appointed chairman has before
1t work OF most responsible and far
reaching character. The bill creating
this board was not passed by Congress
without tremendous opposition, and
having been passed, the President had
no easy task in making the appoint
ments. Bis selection Of it's members
seems to be meeting with general and
hearty approval.
The selection Of Prof. Emery adds
one more to the long list of distin-
guished men whom Ellsworth has fur
nished to assist In the management of
public affairs of State and Nation.

Boston's Most Distinguished Visitor.

Peter, the famous chimpanzee, created

bears out all the Darwin claim about

which rides, eats, drinks, sleeps and does
everything the same as q human being.
At Keith's his performances have been
simply startling, and the theatre is
crowded daily.
Besides eating ct . table, smoking like 4

Peter il an expert bicycle rider, goes on
roller skates, and docs other stunts which
are surprising when done even BY men and

1t takes long time for good resolu-

one day in Washington he was introduced

always enter into tariff legislation in
its final stages.
SIT is very largely due to the efforts
OF Senator Hale that the protection
accorded the great interests of our
State by the Dingley law, have been
so largely preserved to us in the new
law. The citizens Of Maine have just
reason to feel proud of the command
ing position he occupies in national
councils, and the substantial results
he was able to attain in safeguarding
the business interests OF our State"
