The shocking condition of affairs in
the government of Ties tate is almost the
sole topic of the hour. Accusations fly so
thick and fast that one becomes Devil
dcred almost by the charges and coun-
tcrcharges and imagincs that modern
Diogcnes would have nearly as much
trouble in finding an honest man as did
Dogcnes of historic lore. That there has
been downright fraud in some instances
and dereliction in duty in others be
omcN more and more painfully appar
cnt. Much unslvory evidence has been
made public and the public strongly sus-
poets that much more is in the hands
of the investigating committee which
they have not seen fit to disclose One
man in a lonely cell faces trial for en-
bczzlcment of the states funds. An
other, old and gray, with a life long rec
ord of party fealty, forced to resign from
his office. If rumOrs are to be believed
the trail of graft leads to the manage
ment of leading educational institutions
as well. Gov. Hay, egged on by fac
ton in his party to whom the chance to
humiliate and punish the "other fellows"
is sweet incense, threatens to call a spe-
cial session of the legislature to impcach
John II. Schively. Whether political re
prisal be at the bottom of this stirring
mp or not good will come of thorough
house cleaning in administrative affairs.
The enemies of popular government and
consequently enemies of the direct pri-
mary method of nomination will paw the
air in their glee at the apparent I'M
fitness of the people to choose compe-
tent officials, and we may expect to see
Il more determined effort than ever to
defeat the ends of the primary system.
Admitting all that is bad and corrupt
in the handling of state offices it by no
means argues that the voters are in
competent. 1t simply means that we
have been grossly negligent in the per
Torrance of our civic duties. We are di-
rectly responsible for all that may hap
zen. We have the power of choice and
the ability to study men and policies if
we will, 1t is utter nonsense to say that
the voters have not the opportunity to
know the qualifications of a candidate for
office. Any candidate for office from
Wreckmaster to governor who has left
no record behind him, good or bad, which
the public cannot find out if they take
the trouble and inclination to do so. is
as rare as a white blackbird. The trouble
is that we never take the trouble to
find out a mans qualifications or moral
fitness for office. If he happens to be
a candidate on our party ticket or our
spellbinder vouches for his responsibility
we take him on blind faith. An aroused
public conscience, each voter realizing
his own responsibility in governmental
affairs, will bring about honesty in pub
lie office quicker than any commission
or cabinet form of state or municipal
government. 1t is humiliating. all this
exposure of trickery. but if it will teach
the individual voter his duty in study
ING men a little more in the LIGHT of their
past actions. it will be worth all it costs

The utter fake of tariff being party
issue has been exposed most thorough
ly in this session Of congress. The oldest
voter remembers not the day when tho
tariff was not paraded before his eyes
as the all important reason why he
should vote with his party. It must have
been rather a humiliating spectacle to
old line democrats in congress to see
their brethren breaking their necks to
get into the protection" fold when the
pet industries of their own states were
threatened. It has been habit of cam
paign orators for many years to trot
out the tariff 'bugaboo' whenever a live
issue came before the people and scare
them into voting fright" The tariff IS

indianapolis. Oct. 13.-Federal
Judge Anderson yesterday dismissed
the proceedings against Delevan

who were resisting removal to Wash
ington for trial on charges of crimi-
nal libel in publishing articles alleg-
ing that there was corrupt profit OF

canal to the United States.
"That man has read the history OF
our institutions to little purpose,
said Judge Anderson, at the concIus-
ion, "who does not view with appre-
hension a proceeding which would
permit citizens to be dragged from
their homes to the seat of government
for trial under the circumstances OF
this case. The defendants are dis

FRAUD ORDER
AGAINST BRAUNS

Washington, Oct. 13.-The postoffice
department, upon allegations in the
report of it's inspectors, has issued a
fraud order" against John F. Braun
and Kate A. Braun, conducting the
Braun institute of Mentiopathy and
the Braun Health Institute at Bloom
ington, ILL.,; and the Mo-Bo Herb rem
edy company and Manhattan Collec-
ton Agency of Bloomington, H., and
Indianapolis and Greenfield, Ind.
Persons suffering any conceivable
disease were advised by circulars
sent through the mails that they GER
tainly could be cured by the Brauns
through the use of mentiopathy and
telepathy. The Brauns' charge was
SIS per month for absent treatments. :
The receipts of the various Institutes
conducted by the Brauns were dis
covered by the inspectors to be large,
as much as 500 day being received
in money orders in Bloomington
alone.
The inspectors report alleges that
Braun was indicted by an Illinois
grand jury for fraud in the conduct
of his business, and that he is now a

AFTER LAHM CUP
FORBES AND FLElsHMANN SAIL
FROM ST. LOUIS-ExPEcT
TO REACH CANADA.

ST. Louis, Oct. 13.-In an effort to
exceed all American balloon records
for distance and win the. Lahm cup,
A. Holland Forbes of New York, and
Max Fleishmann of Cincinnati, sailed
in the balloon, New York, at 5:35 yes
terday afternoon. The balloon went
directly east.
Two thousand pounds of ballast
was in the basket. Five sacks OF
sand were lost when the basket
struck and tore away part OF the
gas house roof. The aeronauts for a
minute were in great danger. Forbes,
the pilot, who is acting president OF
the Aero club of America, expects to
land in Canada in the vicinity of the
st. Lawrence valley.
The balloon, according to the
weather observer, will cross one OF
the great lakes, and TO keep the bas-
ket afloat if it descends in the water,
the aeronauts have placed around it
a 2O-foot inflated rubber tube. Life
preservers, water anchors and rifles
are among the paraphenalia taken.

introduction by Peary.

Some of my reasons for saying that
Dr. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Esqu- maux boys who went with him,
and who told me and others OF my
party where he did go. Several Eskl-
mos who started with DR.. Cook from
Anoratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when l arrived there in August,
1905 They told me that DR.. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
I-tooka-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. / had
known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape, Sheridan
and at the very first settlement !
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me
in a general way, where DR.. COOK
had been; that he had wintered in
Jones Sound and that he had told the
white men at Etah that he had been a
long way north, but that the boys
who were with him, Itook-a-shoo and
Ah-pe-lah, said that this was not so.
The Eslximos laughed at DR.. Cook S
story. On reaching Etah, | talked
with the two boys and asked them to
describe DR.. Cooks journey to mem
bers of my party and myself. This
they did in the manner stated below.

Signed statement of Peary. Bartlett,
Mcmillan, Borup and Henson, in
regard to testimony of Cooks two
Eskimo boys:
The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied Dr..
Cook while he was away from Anora-
tok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned
separately and independently, and
were corroborated by Panikpah, the
father of one of them Q-took-a-shoo)

PEARY'S EVIDENCE
Of COOKS FAILURE

ney, and VINO said tnat the route LOT
the remaining third, as shown by
them, was as described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
Notes of their statements were
taken by several of us, and no one OF
us has any doubt that they told the
truth
Their testimony was mistaken by
cross-examination, was corroborated
by other men in the tribe, and was
elected neither by threats nor prom
Uses, the two boys and their father
talking Of their journey and their ex-
periences in the same way that they
would talk of any hunting trip.
To go more into details: One OF
the boys was called in, and, with a
chart on the table before him, was
asked to show where he had gone
with DR.. Cook. This he did, pointing
out with his finger on the map, but
not making any marks upon it.
AS he went out the other boy came
in and was asked to show where he
had gone with DR.. Cook. This he did,
also without making any marks, and
indicated the same route and the
same details as did the first boy.
When he was through, Panikpah,
the father of I-took-a-shoo, a very in
telligent man, who was in the party
of Eskimos that came back from DR.
Cook from the northern end of Nan
sens Strait, who is familiar as hun
ter with the Jones Sound region, and
who has been in Commander Peary'
various expeditions for some fifteen
years, came in and indicated the same
localities and details as the two boys
Then the first boy was brought in
again, and with pencil he traced on
the map their route, members of our
party writing upon the chart where,
according to the boys statement, they
had killed deer, bear, some of their
dogs, seal, walrus and musk-oxen.
The second boy was then called in
and the two went over the chart to-
gether, the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hereafter.
Finally, Panikpah, the father, was
again called in to verify details of the
portions of the route with which he
was personally familiar.
The bulA of the boys testimony was
not taken by Commander Peary, nor
in his presence, a fact that obviates
any possible claim that they were
awed bv him.
Certain questions on independent
lines from the direct narrative of tho
Eskimo boys were suggested by ON
mander Peary to some of us, and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
