International jealousy and suspicion
seems to be playing a part in that
South American squabble Peru, which
has long been more or less at odds
with Chile and sometimes at open
war with that neighbor, is reported
to be very angry because Chile has
offered to supply arms and ammuni-
ton to Bolivia, with which Peru has
a little mixup over the boundary
question. But it is possible that
Chile really is moved to take this
step by feeling toward Argentina. 1t
was the president of Argentina who
rendered the boundary decision which
80 stirred up Bolivia. Chile is rival
of Argentina and seeks to surpass that
country in progress, and there you
are. But would it not be much bet
ter all round if these South American
republics would cease their conten-
tons and seek common ground on
which they could unite in efforts for
the general good?

The dog days have done themselves
proud this year. There has been some
beautiful weather. No quarantine
necessary against such a day as to-
day. Whoever would get rabies I'M
der such a sky needs different sur
roundings anyway. And the autumnal
weeks are still to come, with some
rain, it is to be hoped, but also with
that golden atmosphere that would
take the blue ribbon for fair weather
at any weather fair. So cheer up!
1t is not the worst that is yet to come.

THE Minnesota State Fair, ac-
cording to statement given to the
public, netted something like $780,
600. Notwithstanding this hand
some profit, the legislature will
again be asked next winter to
donate sundry parts of a million
for fair purposes. Thus does the
taxpayer get it in the neck two
fold. First he pays admission
enough to make a large surplus
then he is taxed for the maintain
ance of the institution.

THE SHEEP AND THE DOG.

The board of agriculture of Massa.
chusetts, in its care of sheep, has pro-
claimed itself the enemy of the dog.
The sheep may roam, but the dog may
not. These official farmers even go
so far as to bring the children into
their propaganda, declaring: mot
even our children are allowed as much
liberty as the worthless ours that
make sheep farming in Massachu-
'etts impossible" The sheep is ad-
nittedly friend of man, says the
Washington Herald. He is an ami
able unitarian. His shorn coat is
woven into clothing, his flesh becomes
food. But his usefulness is wholly in
voluntary. He must roam to eat, for
where he feeds he leaves a path of
close-cropped verdure. But the dog
also is additionally the friend of man.
He is faithful in good times and in
bad. He produces nothing but af
lection, and he is cherished because
or his fidelity, regardless of Interior
motives. The sheep does not know
enough to be selfish The dog does,
but the dog remains, nevertheless, al
truistic. This is not to deny that
there are bad dogs. He is socialistic
in his views of real estate for his per-
sonal enjoyment even though he may
guard against intrusion of his mas
ter's premises. The normal dog is
entitled to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. His entire race is
not to be tied to a kennel, because it
includes some wastrels. Moreover,
does not the shepherd dog atone for
some of the sins of his kindred?

REPORT IS ON WAY
TO AMERICA
FINDINGS OF UNIVERSITY OF
COPENHAGEN COMING TO
GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.

Washington. Dec. a3.-The report of
the University Of Copenhagen. adverse
to the claims of DIR. Frederick A.
Cook as TO the attainment Of the
north pole. is now on its way 10 this
country for the guidance OF the scien-
tific investigators here.
A cahleSram was received today
from the university by Prof j. How
ard Gore of the subcommittee APP
pointed by the National Geographic
society. to conduct the investigation
under the auspices of THAI orcaa.Za-
ton. which announced that the unirer-
sity had forwarded its report to the
society.
The meeting Of the subcommittee
will be hcla probably during the first
week In January.
Two elements figure in the defer
ment of the meeting of the sub-com-
mittee until the first of the year.
First. the disposition To give DIR. Cook
every possible opportunity to present
his observations, and, second. the alb
sence of Rear Admiral Pilisbury. who
went to Boston the day of the uniyer-
sity verdict. Admiral Pitlshury will
return after the HOLIDAYS and the
meeting will be called at once. Mean
time, conclusions of the Copenhagen
Investigators probably viii be here for
formal submission to the sub-com-
mittee and some answer may have
been received from DR.. Cook To the re-
quest for his original observations.
While recognizing that the burden
of sentiment has been largely against
DIR. Cook, as the result of the copen-
hagen verdict, the committee prom
isss by no means to be governed by
that decision. Inquiry today shows
that the subcommittee intends to pro-
coed with the utmost caution in view
of its responsibility as the investigat-
ing body of the organization that
largely represents scientific America.
The sub eommi,tee. in case il fails u
receive the original data. will not 60
out of its way to condemn DIR. Cook.
but will report that he failed to pro-
duce any papers that proved that he
reached the north mole.
He has Il perfect right To withhold
them" according 10 one statement to-
day. and there is no compulsion' in
tho matter
The soeiety's request for his orig
mai data WAS made personally To DIR.

ONLY A FIRE BALLOON

Worcester. Mass, Dec. e3.-That the
bright light which moved over the city
last night and which many. thought
was a searchlight attached Ia an aero
plane was made by fire balloon is
the belief af many citizens. The fire
balloon theory MAS advanced by its
advocates today on the ground that
the balloon moved in one direction.
While near the earth and that on
reaching a higher altitude il encoun-
tered current Of air going in an op-
posite direction. No one has been
found who saw anything that looked
like a framework near the lisrt. All
that was seen last night was light
which moved slowly across the central
portion of the city and then back
again. finally disappearing in two
hours.
