Secretary Reynolds Approves or NJ"
 York Collector.
 New York. Sept is--Those who have been finding fault with the methods of Collector Loeb's men in searching baggage of European arrivals receiv- ei no comfort from James B. Reynolds, the assistant secretary of the treasury when he arriver here today. MT. Rey- holds approved the work of the col Iector of the port. said there was nothing to investigate in his office and declared that Secretary of the Treas ury Macveagh and Mr. Loeb were working in harmony to stamp out smuggling.
 According 10 Mir. Loeb. he unearth- ed a new practice among smugglers recently when he learned that wire less telegraphy had been brought to play by persons on shore to warn in- bound passengers who had hopes of avoiding the payment of duty, that 1t would be useless to attempt to evade the vigilance of the inspectors.
 Mir. Loeb said that in a recent in- stance one passenger had thus been induced to declare e30,oo0 diamond necklace which he had intended to try to slip through.
 The collector made 1t plain that there would be no let up in the rigid lines he had drawn. He said the work of the customs men was not so much to get revenue as to stamp out fraud. my making 1t too dangerous to att tempt.

 Pole.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 1s.-william len nings Bryan arrived in Dallas today from Mission. Texas. He spent the day here in preparing an outline of the address he Is to deliver here to- morrow. The subject of the address Is "Democracy and the Tarin."
 Mir. Bryan said that his presence in Texas was for the purpose. first to de- liver . few lectures: second, to visit his farm at Mission. which was re- ported in some danger from the floods. and third. as a sort of possibility from the other two, to deliver a few ad- dresses on Democratic doctrines in connection with the tariff.
 From Texas I shall go to Arizona to visit my son. William and his bride" he said. ''They are at Tuscon where William is attending the uni vsrsity. On October 1 Mrs. Bryan and will celebrate our 25th wedding an- niversary. This will be at our home in Nebraska. The children will be there. Late in October or early in November Mrs. Bryan and l will go to Mission, Tex. We expect to spend Christmas with William in Arizona.
 "This discussion about who discov- cred the North Pole has interested me considerably. Now don't know why politics should enter into this thing. but somehow I've wondered what po- liticaI belief these two men they are talking about have. I believe 1t Is safe to say they are Democrats. Why :? Well. just because Democrats have got so used to being out in the cold that they can do their best work

connection while he was still in knickerbockers, and preached his first sermon at the age of 16? Before he was 20 Exeter Hall was not large enough to hold his congregations. George Fox. the evangelist and found CT of the Society of Friends. was quite a little boy when he started preaching at very early age.
 It has often been said that the most amazing example of precocious genius on record is furnished by John Stuart Mill, who at years of age. was learn ing the Greek alphabet. and at had read in the original many Greek au- thors. Then he began to learn Euclid. algebra and Latin, and before he was 12 was made to teach the younger members of the family.
 The precocity of Sir William Rowan Hamilton the celebrated mathemati- clan. is often overlooked He exceIied in the study of languages. and is said to have known at least thirteen at the age of 12. At three years of age he was a very good reader of English and considerably advanced in arithmetic. At he was a good geographer, and at able to read and translate Latin. Greek and Hebrew. Then he added a knowledge of Italian and French to his learning before going on with Arabic and Sanskrit.

 Denver Post
 .of course everybody in Denver knows that Arapahoe means Big Nose"." sad Edwin Walters of the government geologi- cal survey. who is visiting his old friend. E. T. Keim, superintendent of the Amerf- can District Telegraph Company. Then he placed the forefinger of right hand across his nose with . hook as the Indian sign of the Araphoe. ''No, haven't any book on Indian signs ready for publication" continued the student of American Indian literature. .'I am studying moee for my own education than for profit"
 Mir. Walters has translated all the hiero- of the Southwest. has learned the sign language of the tribes and will make draw ings of the signs and the writings on the rocks having cuts made and print them in his book. He expects to familiarize every American who is interested in the literature of the American Indian with the Indian sign writing and sign language. He says that the universal sign language is nearly the same as the universal deaf and dumb sign language; that over twenty-three tribes of the Southwest this sign lan- EuaEe, though they do not speak the same tongue.
 whenever they see the signs on the rocks they can read them and whenever they meet an Indian, it matters not hts tribe and tongue they speak the sign language flu- ently with their fingers. There is not q tribe that has not some sign by which 1t iB known throughout the Indian world. and every object animate and inanimate, has Q sign by which 1t is universally known among the different tribes.

 Whitten admitted. however, that he did not know if this removal was by arrangement between Rudoiphe Francke. who was left In charge Of the provisions and Peary, but he thought, nevertheless. that 1t was c strange thing to do, in view of the fact that Cook was then away on the ice floes and might return.
 The boatswain also made the state ment that both Cooks and Francks's collections of ivory and skins. some of them very valuable. were taken as well. He said that the trouble with Peary's previous expeditions had been the lack of supplies.
 Instead of remaining away for three years, Commander Peary was compel led to return after about fifteen months, the real reason. whitten de- cIared, being that he did not have enough supplies to remain longer.
 Information received here tonight was to the effect that the Roosevelt would leave Battle Harbor for sydney on Saturday.

 T have known also the other fsf- low--known him to depart from truth by large margins.
 "Dr. Cooks attitude in withholding details of his discovery was attributed to his desire not to anticipate the pub- lication of his book. But as soon as the other claimant got within reach of the wireless,' said the captain, "he sent dispatches to everybody he could think of. but delayed In informing the mother of Marvin. who perished during the expedition"
 After a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Arctic Club tonight, pr. R. O. Stebbins. its chairman. gave the clubs attitude on the controversy.
 'The Arctic Club of America" he said. has nothing to do with the con- pole. All the Arctic Club recognizes Is that pr. Cook Is the discoverer of the pole, and that Peary reached there. Our only desire is to honor the discov- erer. Neither side has proved Its case to America, but since the Danish gov ernment has recognised Dr. Cook. we feel that the burden of proof now falls on his opponents"

THE NEXT EMPIRE
Edited by w. S. VARNUM

In it's present condition it cannot be
occupied by use. The problem is one
of reclamation. 1t is a problem of
such magnitude that many generations
of private endeavor will still not wholly
reclaim it.
This is the foundation principle
which must be thoroughly acquired by
all who attempt to discuss the logged
off lands problem. All discussion that
does not recognize it is as futile as the
past so years of wondering has been,
but when properly kept in mind it will
change the entire perspective of the
problem and admit of an approach
along lines that will give hope and
promise of making the logged-off des-
ert (for it is nothing else now bios
som as a rose, even as science is now
lifting the great rivers to the hills"
and laying the foundations of new en-
pires in the deserts of the West.
