NEGRO CAPTURES NORTH
POLE.

It is gratifying to the millions
of Negroes in the United States
that Mathew Henson, a Negro,
was the only civilized man that
reached the north pole with Pea
ry, not because it will in any
sense aid them in their struggle
for a place on the higher stages of
civilization as is viewed by the
Caucasian, but because the eau
,asian has always been inclined to
minimize the few goods deeds of
the Negro and maximize the bad
things that he did. But a few
days ago there appeared in pub
lie print in Seattle an article to
the effect that "the home of the
Negro was in the South where he
should remain" and before the
type got cold the news flashed
over the wires that white man
and black man had captured the
north pole the furthest point to
the north a human being could go.
It would thus seem that the Ne
gro's home is wherever he can eX-
list and from Henson s experience
he can exist any place on the face
of the earth. The Negro is just
as capable of expansion as the
Caucasian and the sooner both of
them except that theory in toto
the better for all concerned.

quire the pole. If earth s north
ernmost extremity is land, and a
part of Greenland, it will belong
to Denmark; if it is a part of Can

to the United States; and if it is
ice, anybody can have it. 1t be-

THE NORTH POLE AT LAST.


If DIR. Frederick A. Cook of
Brooklyn, really reached the north
pole year ago last April-and we
trust he did-he reached it just in
time to beat the aeroplanes. There
seems to be no good reason to
doubt his story in the New York
Herald, yet such experts as Mr..
Evelyn Baldwin and Admiral Mel
vile are dubious about it at this
writing Other experienced per-
sons-Major Darwin, the president
Of the Royal Geographical Society,
Lieutenant Shackleton, Captain
Amundsen, the Duke of the Alb
ruzzi-have received DR.. Cooks
story with enthusiasm, and await
his home coming and all the de-
tails with hospitable anticipations.
There is no one stationed at the
north pole to punch the travellers
ticket or give him a notary's GER
tifcate afidaviting his visit. The
evidence that Mr.. Cook has accom-
plished the great feat is nothing
more, and can be nothing more
than his word, with such concur
rent testimony as can be furnish
ed by the Eskimos who went with
him, and the records, day by day,
Of his journey. That will be
enough, and the world in general
expects the evidence to be salts
factory, and is eager to throw up
its hat and shout, Well done! 1t
is clear gain to have the job ac-
complished. The attempts to do
it were expensive and not very
profitable, and were bound to con-
tinue until it was done.
It is true that they have not no
ticeably diverted energy from 9th
er achievements. The world has
not been waiting, exactly, for the
pole to be reached, but in so far
as lives, energy, and money have
been spent in efforts to reach the
pole, it is gain to have that stunt
out of the way. There are more
pressing jobs in sight today than
there were when the quest for the
pole began, and every day the ac-
cessions to human knowledge and
human powers rush new groups of
possibilities into the range of hui
man effort. There are tremendous
things waiting to be done in the
field Of science: the power of the
sun and the tides to be applied to
the driving Of man-made machines,
a method to be devised of getting
heat and power out Of coal that
will not waste ninety-eight per
cent Of that precious commodity
as present methods do; a storage
battery to be perfected-any sci
enlist can give long list Of such
problems pressing for solution.
And in the fields Of ethics and pol
tiles there are other vast problems
pressing for solution-the restric-
ton or abolition of war, the devel-
opment Of the best governmental
and economic machinery for induc-
ing folks to live together in peace,
the widening Of opportunity and
the extension Of human capacity |
to improve it. It is time, high !
time. that we knew all about the
surface and contents Of this plan
ct we inhabit, and were free to
devote all our energy to the bound
less art Of living on it to the best
possible purpose.
Let us all hope, then, that DIR.

WILL INVITE TAFT
 TO THE UNIVERSITY
WELL KNOWN MEN WILL URGE HIM TO DELIVER THE CON- IMPEACHMENT ADDRESS. AT THE INSTITUTION THIS YEAR.

The University of Alabama wants Pres ident-elect William Howard Taft to de- liver the annual commencement address at commencement in June.
 This fact was made known in Birming- ham yesterday by the several representa- lives of the university, among the num- Der being President J. W. sAbercrombie.
 The invitation will be extended within the next few days, and Senator H. F.. Reese of Selma, president of the Alumni association. has appointed a strong com mittee to urge the President-eiect to ac- cept.
 This committee is composed of the sen ators and congressman of Alabama, J.. O. Thompson of Birmingham, internal revenue collector; Judge D. D. shelby, Hillary A. Herbert, former Secretary or the Navy, and Col. T. G. Bush of Bir- mingham.
 During recent years the alumni ad- dresses at the university have been de- livered by the most distinguished men, among the number havl-ig been William Jennings Bryan, John A. Johnson, gov ernor of Minnesota, Charles A. Towne, the distinguished New York congressman, and others.
 It is pointed out that the determina- tiou to invite Judge Taft was agreed upon by the officers of the association imme- diatelv after the conclusion of the com mencement exercises last June, at which time the President-elect was only Secre- tary of War, and presidential possibil-
