We have long been an admirer
of The Outlook, which is un-
questionably one of the best
publications in the country, but
it seems to us that even it's
broadness is being stretched a
little when it comes out, as it
did in its issue Of the 4th inst,
with a portrait of the negro
Booker Washington on it's front
cover page. Something like {
slap across the face with a wei
rag, don't you know, to it:
Southern readers. Booker ha!
for years been a particular pc
Of The Outlook, though.

Poor DIR. Cook! Some people
seem to have it in for him.
Hell have to show me", they
say; and they would not recog.
nize the positive proof if it were
shown them. Few people would.
What does the average hot-air
artist who expresses doubt know
about what would be conclusive
proof? "Shucks! a man could not
live where it is SO degrees be-
low zero, and that's all there is
to it." Do tell! And even if he
did get there he followed Peary's
course" Dear, dear, how shock
ing! OF course DR.. Cook ought
to have gone in exactly the op-
posite direction, but that was a
little oversight, and in view OF
the fact that he was successful
most people will forgive him.
But amt it awful Mabel?

The editor Of The Asheboro
Courier deposes and says that
the cure for pellagra accent on
the pei, please is said to be
equal parts of corn whiskey and
castor oil taken with great regu-
larity before each meal" Being
q stickler for scientific exactness,
we cannot accept this theory.
Your only certain remedy fol-
pellagra is the North Pole. That
is why it was discovered during
all this discussion about this dis.
ease that has so far baffied sci.

DIP COOKS WONDERFUL
FEAT.

While there are a few doubt
iro Thomasea, q few who would
mol belize e even though con-
frooted with the positive proof
II g world has accepted as true
the news that was sent over the
wires last Wednesday to the ell
feet that the North Pole-the
"bia nail" as the Eskimos call
i has been discovered .-- has
been caught right in the act.
The Robesonian published a
brief dispatch about this wonder
rol feat Thursday. Out OF the
mass of matter that has Deeh
urintcd about it since. we nave
spacc for only a few brief para
graphs.
Or. Frederick A. Cook,a physl-
elan Of Brooklyn, N. Y, the man
who accomplished this wonder
ruI feat, left New York on his
VOYAGE to the Pole on July a.,
1867. The last heard from him
was March II, 1903, until his ca
lIor.aro announcing that he
reached the Pole April q, 1908.
DR.. Cook tells of the hardships
and pcrils of his journey IN 6
graphic story, and the return trlE
from the Pole was the Wors'
part Of it.. Food ran short ant
he had to spend the winter in a:
underground den in the frozel
wilderness, which explains VIII.
the return journey took so long

it was possible to 90 from on

side; there was no North, Eas
and West it was South in ever
direction.
For 800 years men have bee
trying to reach that coveted spot
and first and last $50 lives hav
been lost in the various effort
that have been made.
Dr.Cook says he planted a sta
on the site on the pole and the
raised the American flag, bt
did not leave the flag with
staff. He left a small silk fla
in a cylinder with his card and
record of The journey, with tt
date. He says that once is enoug

For Game LEV Violations.

That that portion CT the statute,
chapter 525 OF the laws of 1868, which
requires that one-third of the fines
imposed and collected under the laws
regulating the taking, killing, ETC., of
fish and game, shall be paid by the
magistrate to the county treasurer Is
unconstitutional is held in an opinion
by Attorney General Gilbert to Game
Warden George w. Rickeman.
In the same opinion it is held that
neither game wardens, sheriffs or dep
uty sheriffs are entitled to be consid-
cred as informers under the law,
which provides that one-third of the
fines collected shall be paid to the in
former.
The attorney genera, holds in form
that a share of the fines may be
given to the informer, that the in
former must be other than the deputy
game warden, sheriff or his deputies,
and that one-third of the amount is
not an unreasonable amount to be
paid such informer; that no share of
the fines can be paid to those whose
duty it is to enforce the game laws
and prosecute violators thereof; that
no part of the fines so imposed for
breach of the fish and game laws can
be paid to counties, that being forbid
den by constitutional provision"
1t is held that because part OF the
statute is unconstitutional it does not
follow that the whole section is in
valid. 1.-THE remainder of the statute
may stand, Notwithstanding the in
validity of the portion relating to the
payment Of one-third the fine to the
county"
The state constitutiin provides that
the proceeds of all fines collected in
the several counties shall be set apart
as a separate fund to be called the
school fund, etc.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

BANKER HELD IN
DEFAULT OF BAIL
Phillip Allen Is Committed to Jail
at Madison.
MAY CHANGE HIS PLEA LATER
Effort to Reduce Bail Is Unavailing-
No Indictment Yet by Grand Jury
at La Crosse-State's De-
mand Refused.

Madison.-Phillip Allen, Jr., vice
president of the wrecked First Ma
tional bank of Mineral Point, was
given a preliminary hearing in the of
fee of Court Commissioner Blake.
Vroman Mason, district attorney of
Dane county appeared as Aliens coun-
sci, and the course taken by Allen
was probably due to the advice Of his
lawyer
Abandoning a purpose to plead
guilty and take sentence, it was de-
termined to ask for a continuance I'M
til October 81, which was granted.
In default of bail in the sum. of
100000, Allen was remanded to the
Dane county jail. Allen was imme-
diately escorted to that institution by
Deputy United States Marshal Kelly.
The impression still seems to be
that Allen will plead guilty at the
proper time, this statement being due
both to statements the banker had
made before the court commissioner
and the fact that his attorney re-
served the right to change the plea
any time with another plea.
The proceedings in the Office of the
court commissioner were brief. An
effort was, however, made to keep
Allen out of Jail, Attorney Mason ask
ing for reduction of the bail to $40,-
900 and that Mr.. Allen De given into
the custody of an officer until it was
raised, the attorney claiming he was
in no condition to undergo jail con-
finement. Court Commissioner Blake,
however, declined to reduce the bail
and as Deputy United States Marshal
Kelly must go to La Crosse, Mr.. Blake
said he thought Allen would have to
be placed in jail at once.
Although Allen walks somewhat
feebly and his face is a little pale he
gives no other evidences of the ill
ness from which it has been claimed
at Mineral Point he was suffering, and
considering his age he appears like a
fairly well man.
In response to the demand of State
Treasurer Dahl made upon the OFF,
GERS in charge of the First National
bank Of Mineral Point for the pay
ment of the amount due the state
some $9,700-notice has been re-
ceived by Treasurer Dahl that the &C.
count is not different from any other
and that the state will have to await
the regular course of events and take
its share in dividends as they may
be made
