here and despOiled the much-revered
image of the Virgin of the Robe. with its

discovery of the outrage, was surrounded

million pilgrims annually. Formerly 1t

chances of gale destroying the track.
Just above the eighty-seventh paral-
lei was a region some fifty miles wide
which caused me considerable uneasi-
ness. Twelve hours of strong easterly,
westerly. or northerly wind would
make this region an open sea.
In the afternoon of the 7th we start
ed on our return having double fed
the dogs, repaired the sledges for the
last time and discarded all our spare
clothing to tighten the loads.
Tries to Sound Sea.
Five miles from the pole a narrow
crack filled with recent ice through
which we were able to work hole
with a pickax, enabled me to make a
sounding. All my wire. 1900 fathoms,
was sent down. but there was no bot
TOM
In pulling up the wire parted a few
fathoms from the surface and lead and
wire went to the bottom. Off went reel
and handle. Tightening the sledges still
further. We had no more use for them
now.
Three marches brought us back to
the igloos where the captain turned
back. The last march was in the wild
sweep of a northerly gale, with drift
ing snow and the ice rocking under as
we dashed over it.
Not Delayed by Leads.
South of where Marvin had turned
back we came to where his party had
built several igloos while delayed by
open leads. Still fusther south we
found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp.
Fortunately the movement of these
leads was simply open and shut, and it
took considerable water motion to fault
the trail seriously.
While the captain, Marvin, and as
found later, Borup. had been delayed
by open leads, we seemed to bear a
charm and with no single lead were we
delayed more than couple of hours
Sometimes the ice was fast and Arm
enough to carry us across; sometimes
a short detour, sometimes brief halt
for the lead to close. sometimes an i'm
provised ferry on an ice cake, kept the
trail without dsfficulty down to the
tenth outward march.

Pistol Carving Against Prosperity.

There is an agitation IN Alabama
against carrying concealed weapons. One
remedy proposed Is TO make It a prison
offense 10 discharge weapons with a bar
rel less than twenty-four inches long. II is
proposed, also. TO abandon jury trials for
this onense and to empower the Judge TO
pass sentence after hearing the evidence
The suggested statute would also provide
for tho confscatlon and destruction Of
all pistol cartridges that can be discov-
cred within the State. That would be an
interesting search into personal armories
from which some householder might
shrink
This agitation IS based upon a growing
consciousness among the thoughtful that
the habit of carrying concealed weapons
directly encourages homicide. and that the
further effect has been to deter both
capital and hOmeseekers from investment
and settlement. The statement is frankly
made in the Birmingham News that the
deadly pistol has contributed heavily to
the record or murders, and that It's influ-
ence has been TO lessen the regard for
human life. But the admitted prevalence
OF the evil does not mean that It cannot
be abolished. just as can any practice that
offends the wholesome determination TO
build up civilization and 20 substitute
the adjustment Of disputes by logical
argument and rational conclusions for
their violent elimination in murders that
prove nothing except the displacement
Of reason by rage. 1t Is possible that af-
ter the long and habitual prevalence Of
this practice, drastic methods may be nee
essary at the outset to bring about the
reform. But persistent education of pub
lic opinion would soon secure its support

A Lincoln National Road.

Joe Mitchell Chauple in the National Magazine
Congress is agreed on the desirability OF
establishing a Lincoln zie-norial but as
to what form it should take there Is
great diversity Of opinion. The most
popular project is THE Lincoln Way"
great national road from Washington 60
Gettysburg, a distance OF about seventy
rciles
Such highway might be embeIlished
with trees, suitable monuments. and other
decorations commemorative Of Lincoln.
Along this road each State and Territory
could be represented By some appropri-
ote structure or beautiful feature, MAX
Ing this Loncoln memorial a veritable APP
plan Way, worthy OF the great republic
Of modern times. II is believed that no
part OF the road would be unmarked by
some loving tribute from the people
There is little question as to the location
Of such highway, because no other spot
OF earth is so closely associated with Lin
coins public career as the great battle
Geld on which were spoken those memo
rable words that were veritable torch
light OF freedom
No one is SO poor IN the United States
that he cannot secure q Seeding OF some
sort. School children could be encouraged
70 plant trees. and generations to come
would have as their heritage q road made
beautiful and memorable by magnificent
specimens Of native and foreign trees.

The Political Paymaster.

Our old friend. tho political army pay
master. is in the newspapers again. The
latest evidence OF the unusual Official
FAVOR whic' has been manifested in be-
half OF Maj. B. B. Ray, paymaster,
United States army. is to be found in
San Francisco paper, which announces
the fact. not made known in Washington.
and not yet admitted by the military
authorities here. that that officer. now
on duty at Honolulu. where place was
created for him. win be assigned to duty
as chief paymaster Of the Department OF
the Lakes, with station at Chicago. The
statement in the San Francisco paper ap-
pears 10 have been inspired from inside
sources. since it attempts TO give an ac-
curate account OF the controversy whicF
has prevailed between Maj. Ray and
senior officers OF his corps, notably Col.
II. +. Wallace. Maj. Ray has. within the
past few months. been under investiga-
tion for alleged failure to comply with
regulations in his official transactions.
The results Of this investigation have
been suppressed, and the whole proceed
ing was irregular largely, It is surmised.
because Maj. Ray wes active In the re-
cent Presidential campaign.
II Maj. Ray is detailed for duty at Chi
cago II will be because politics is again
entering into military administration, and
army officers who have the welfare OF
the service IN mind viii deplore any such
tendency. regardless OF the merits Of the
individual officer who IS the object OF
such favor. Mat. Ray may or may not
have been an important factor in the
Presidential campaign. II he were, that
employment, in itself. furnishes an op-
portunity to criticise those who were re-
sPonsible for the engagement Of his serv-
ices. An army officer should not be en-
ployed on one or another side in a polit-
cal campaign. Least of all, should he be
rewarded for what he may have done. or
tried to do. as a political worker. Mai.
Ray cannot 1e blamed for trying 70 get
the best IN the way Of duty or station for
himself. but efforts OF that sort founded
on political or personal influence. are an
interference with military administration.
with direct result upon service efficiency
in the influence exerted upon the content
ment OF the military personnel.
1t will be remarkable. therefore. II, un-
der the circumstances. Maj. Ray is found
to be detailed for coveted duty in Chi
cago.

Wherein We Refuse q Plea.

Says the Charleston News and Courier:
Mary IS the cook at the White House She
comes from Old Virginia: she ought 10 know how
70 make hoocake. aud she ought 10 know 1t is
made Of wheaton flour and not OF com meal Why
does not The Washington Herald solve one Of the
most interesting problems Of the day By interview
ing Maryr"
Now. we love the Charleston News and
Courier. and we would do anything IN
reason 20 oblige q. We have. on its IN
vitation. undertaken to analyze divers and
perplexing problems in the past. and. we
fatter ourselves. with no small measure
Of success. We have noted its persist
ent efforts to get us involved In an argu-
ment with this MARY. the White House
cook" It has sought to cajole US into
the same; # has. failing that dared US:
now It appeals insinuaungly 20 our pride
and our prowess in special flelds OF en-
deavor.
We think we may as we'll inform our
Palmetto contemporary right now, how
ever. that we are not to be led, driven,
or bulldozed into this task. We think
we know enough not to rush in
where angels fear to tread. and we
know we know enough not to tell a party
named Mary who comes from Old
how 10 make john1ycake. or
anything else under the sun that is good
TO eat. We realize our limitations, as
limitless as our surprising wisdom may
seem 10 admiring constituents and numer-
Gus contemporaries. We think we know
a whole lot about the tariff; we believe
our opinions on finance are eagerly
sought and greedily devoured; we are
sometimes led TO suspect that we could
give Mr.. Taft valuable pointers on how
to run the government best, just as we
felt toward Mr.. Roosevelt, and as we
shall feel, in all probability, toward Mr..
Taft's successor but suggestions to
Mary" OF a culinary nature. we have
no heart 70 advance.
Let the Charleston News and Courier
seek for light on approximately any
other topic. and We shall unloose the
food gates OF our ample store Of infor-
nation and bid it drink to safety: but
as for Mary" from Old Virginia.
we'll we should seek to paint the rain
bow as willingly as TO tell her how to
cook.
