A Personal Triumph.

1t is suggestive how many great
things for the world have been ac-
complished by individuals, either
acting alone or nearly so. One or
two cases will illustrate this fact.
One man, st. Francis of Assist,
morally regenerated Italy. 1t was
Columbus, not geographical society
that discovered America. 1t was
one woman. Florence Nightingale,
that revolutioniZed by her work in
the Crimea sanitary and hospital
Service. 1t was one Ian, Gutenberg,
that discovered D'inting. 81 with
DR.. Cook. His expedition was not
furnished by q government or a
scientific society. AS compared with
expeditions so sent his was poorly
equipped. yet he succeeded where
they failed. This is no reflection
upon those expeditions, for Dr.. Cook
undoubtedly profited by their ex-
perience and the data they furnish
ed. But he had the one advantage
of having but himself to consider
in his quest for the pole. There
was no conflict of opinion about
routes or methods of travel, and this
fact with his scientific knowledge
jndomitable perseverance and cour-
age, and favoring circumstances
enabled him to reach the pole and
plant upon it the American flag.

Perry Confirms Cook.

after reading Commander
Peary's account of his dash to the
North Pole, noting especially his
description of the character Of the
region around about the top Of the
world and the speed at which he
was able to travel we are more and
more firmly convinced that DR.. Cook
also traversed :. the same region, "
says the Spartanburg Herald. "The
pole is described by both in almost
the same terms, each declaring
It q desoIste monotonus field Of ice
not unlike the country through
which it was necessary to pass for
many miles before reaching it..
Peary's story also disarms those
snapshot articles of DR.. Cook, who
declared his story all a myth, be-
cause it would have been necessary
for him to travel fifteen miles a
day to have reached the pole upon
the date he claims to have been
there. They promptly declared such
speed: could not be made in the arc
tic region. How little these gentle
men know about the possibilities of
travel over the ice, must now be
apparent even to them, since their
idol. Commander Peary, came for
ward with the statement that upon
some of the last days Of his dash,
his twelve hour journeys advanced
him more than twenty miles, we'll
fed dogs and experienced men made
these records, 1t stands to reason
that Cook would have accomplished
the task In the time he claims. In
the public mind Peary's story but
serves to confirm Cooks account of
his discovery Of the pole.'

Women as Wage Earners.

According to the last census
there are thrice and three occu-
pations followed by the people who
have to earn their bread by the
sweat Of their brow in these United
States. In two hundred and ninety
five of these women appear, and it
is only in the United States army
and navy. in fire departments and
as helpers--unskilled assistants to
roofers, skaters, steam boiler makers
and brass workers that they are not
represented. In 1900 more than
five million women were earning
wages, and for the decade covered
the number of the sex engaged in
remunerative industry increased fas-
ter than the female population, while
the rate of increase in respect to
employment was greater than the
corresponding rate for employment
Of men.
A peculiar exhibit is that in some
of the occupations more usually as
sociated with woman man outstrip-
ped the erstwhile domestic slaves. "
For example, women milliners in
creased in ten years 40.5 per cent;
men milliners $40 per cent. Wo-
men dressmakers increased 17.S per
cent; men dressmakers $50 per cent.
Again women seamstresses increased
only .04 per cent, while men seam
stresses" increased 20.S per cent,
and it is also found that men have
been crowding the women out of the
saloon" business, the laundries, and
in a certain measure the mills. Wo-
men, however, increased in all de-
partments of trade and transporta-
tion 1908 to mems 37.6 per cent,
and distanced the "stern sex" in
all but one of the five large groups
classified in the census.
The employment Of women as
wage earners, we believe, is a seri-
Gus menace to the perpetuity of the
race and the stability Of the insti-
tutions Of this country. Woman s
place is in the home, where she
should reign as queen, and not
in the stores and Offices. Some So
biologists and writer's on political
economy hold the theory that race
suicide, the decreasing marriage
rate, the increasing divorce rate,
wife abandonment, the disappear
ance Of the cook and various other
domestic ills are ascribable to the
tendency of the modern woman to
struggle for financial independence
outside the home. We do not blame
the woman. Their abandonment Of
the home for the store is not a
voluntary act on their part. In
many instances they are driven to
it to help support themselves and
loved ones. The cost of living and
the exactions of modern society lays
at the root of the evil. Under the
tariff law it is hard for many men
to make money enough to support
their families, and the girls have to
assist in doing SO.

Los Angeles was the marriage of Miss

parents and friends in Chicago wishing
her and her husband luck and happi-
