THE NORTH POLE DISPUTE

The controversy over the discovery
If the north pole is becoming dis
graceful and Peary is losing friends
md the respect of the American peo-
pie, as we'll as the fair minded in all
parts of the world, by his disgrace
full conduct. If any one doubted that
Cook had discovered the pole prior
to Peary's return to the first wireless
station, that doubt was soon removed
by the frantic efforts of Peary to
cast discredit upon Cook, and the
gentlemanly and honest conduct of
Cook Peary's statement that Cook
had "gold-bricked" the people, cam e
with bad grace and probably did
more than anything else to discredit
Peary and elevate Cook in the opin-
ions of all fair minded people. Cook
has fully convinced the old world
that he speaks the truth, and every
point he has visited and talked with
the people and submitted proof, has
been convinced of the truth of his
claims.
Peary is undoubtedly badly dis
gruntled because Cook beat him to
1t" and had hoped to discredit his
rival. The claim of Peary and his
supporters that if Cook did discover
the pole he took a mean advantage
and had used information gained
while with Peary, and had used
Peary's Esquimos, is childish and I'M
worthy of men. Cook did not own
the Esquimo and he had no copyright
on the knowledge that had been gain
ed in former trials. If Cook, who had
been with Peary on former trials
gained enough knowledge to enable
him to accomplish what Peary had
failed to do, he is evidently a bright
err man than Peary, and is, at least,
more resourceful. The Herald wants
to go on record as predicting that
Cook will be indicated and that
Peary will be injured by his attitude
anu that in a few few years Peary
will occupy the position of Admiral
Sampson, who tried to claim the vic
tory of the great naval battle won
by Admiral Schley. The American
people are, as a rule, honest and
fair minded and they cannot be fool
ed in such cases. The public gave
the victory to Admiral Schley and
all of the efforts of the navy to dis
credit Schley and make people be-
lieve that Sampson was the victor,
failed and Sampson died in disgrace.

A GOOD MOVEMENT

The movement started by the Pull
man Ministerial Association for the
entertainment of students attending
Washington State College, is a wise
one and should be extended to other
professions than the ministry. Every
business man and every citizen OF
Pullman is interested in the success
and growth of Washington State Col
ege. This is admittedly the great
est industry" of Pullman, and will
be the sustaining power of the town
for many years. The students are the
life of the college. They should be
made to feel that they are part of
Pullman, not merely visitors who
are here for a few months or a few
years, but that they are an integral
part of the life and growth of the
town.
They should be made to feel well
come and that the people of Pull
an have an interest in them aside
from the dollars and cents they spend
here during the college year. 1t is
all right to furnish entertainments
in the line of shows, ETC., which
charge admission, and this is
necessary, but there should also be
free entertainments, and the stu
tents should be invited into the
homes of Pullman and made a per-
manent part of the social life of the
town. The action of the ministers
is wise and will bear fruit, but others,
besides the ministers should take an
interest in this work

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
Inently as a perfectly clean and pare
food and which was as pure before
the enactment Of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; If not near the
store, buy the large size family pack.

LAND SHOULD BE HIGHER

Land near Pullman is entirely too
cheap. Why land lying close to the
largest and best town in the county
should be selling for less than similar
land lying within one to three miles
of towns not half so large nor with
half as bright an outlook for the flu
ture, Is a mystery. That land close
to Pullman can be bought for from
SIS to 500 per acre, while land an
equal distance from Garfield, Tekoa,
Rosalia, Pennington or Palouse
would bring a much higher price
does not seem right and is not right.
The land near the towns mentioned
is not selling too high, Pullman land
is selling for less than what it is
worth.
Last spring l 6 acres of unimproved
land, with no buildings, orchard or
other improvements aside from being
fenced and in cultivation, was sold
at Garfield for 1925 an acre. The
land lies more than two miles from
that town. Farms of $50 acres or
more, two and three miles from Gar
field with fair improvements have
sold for as much per acre. Last
month 10 acres of bare, unimproved
land, near Tekoa, was sold for 49,
400, or $340 per acre. Land near
Palouse is bringing about the same
prices as land near Garfield and Te-
koa. Pennington land also brings
higher prices than land near Pull
man, yet no one expects that any OF
these towns will be as large or pros
porous as Pullman is destined to be.
What is needed is land near Pull
man to be cut into tracts of 10 acres
or more for homes for people who
wish 10 live on one or two lots In
town. Many retired farmers wish to
come to Pullman but are kept from
doing so because they cannot con-
tent themselves with a single lot or
a few lots after having lived on
farm all their lives. They want a

place where they can keep teams.
COWS, chickens and, in fact, have a
miniature farm. A man who has led
an active life in the country cannot
be content with merely living in town
where he has nothing to do. If we
had few desirable tracts adjoin-
Ing town that could be laid off into
tracts of five or ten acres 1t is be-
lieved that good prices could be OBJ
tanned and that the movement would
result in securing for Pullman a
number of good farmers who would
be valuable addition to the town.

FERTILIZER TRUST
DOES NOT MATERIALIZE

New York, May pa plan to COM
blEe the feltiliZing plants of Europe
and this country in one $5O,OOO,OOO
corporation to be known as the In
dependent Fertilizer Company, has
been abandoned The failure is due
to bhe refusal of some of the propos-
ed constituent companies TO accept
the terms OF bankers who had charge
of the financial portion of the com
bination One source Of opposition
was said to be the provision that
the plants should be paid for In Com-
mon stock OF the new company while
hhe preferred stock was to be sold
for cash.
The plans for the combination
We're formulated last winter and It
was intended to include not only sixty,

TO take over the phosphate interests
of Herman Schmidtman of Germany,
and some plants in other European
countries. The Independent Fertil-
izer Company was incorporated last

Many Applicants for High
School Principalship.
WTNANS STANDS PAT
Says He Will Not Make an
Application.
K. n. Marshall and @. W. Hayes
are Prominently Mentioned In
Connection with the Place.

Apparently the principalshlp OF
the Marion High school is most
delicious plum in the eyes of many
of the more prominent educators of
the country. Since the announcement
recently, that Principal G. II. Winans
had declared his intention to discon-
tinue his work here, Superintendent
II. l.. Frank and members of the
board of education have received
hosts of applications from some of
the more prominent educators of the
state and county in general, so that
speculation has already been aroused
as to the successor to Mr.. Winans.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Winans
has not yet appeared before the
board of education and notified them
of his intention and no formal vacan-
cy has been declared, the positive
statement of the principal that he
will not place an application in the
hands of the board, is taken as final.
Mr.. Winans has not retreated an
inch from his former position and
will not be a candidate.
Local school teachers will this
year be relieved Of much worry and
perhaps disappointment by the early
action of the board. contrary to the
usual custom. I'm other years the
teachers have been employed after a
part of the summer vacation had ex-
pired and much Of the vacation was
spent in doubt regarding the posi-
bilities of failure of reelection. The
board has seen this trouble on the
part of the teaching force and this
year they may know during the sum
mer months whether or not they are
engaged for the next school year.
Superintendent Frank will give his
recommendation for the teaching
force on the next regular meeting Of
the board June II and the teachers
will probably be elected at that time.
The present force will probably be
fwholly reinstated and the recent elias
siiication will not MAKE any changes
In the standing. An assistant will be
employed in place OF the one who
failed this year and It is thought that
two new teachers will be employed at
that time.

High school, X. H. Marshall, OF the
High school faculty, is being endors.

g. Selanders, of Owens, who stood

animation is a candidate for the place
and will stand well in the local
talent.
