| Rev Alfred w. Wishart, formerly of
| Trenton, New Jersey, and now of
| Grand Rapids, proposed to the NUM-
cipal Affairs committee that it start a
| campaign of education in citizenship
to be known as THE Civic Revival,
| The suggestion was promptly acted
| upon, and Professor Charles Zueblin
who has lately severed his connection
| with the University of Chicago, was
| invited to become the civic revivalist
Invitations were sent to various must

board of trade. Thirty-nine societies

were advertised widely, the press Civ

PEARY AND COOK.

We all can appreciate Peary's dis
appointment and it is not difficult to
imagine his chagrin upon hearing that
the goal for which he had been striv-
ing SO long had been reached by an
other before him. 1t would be easy to
excuse him if, On hearing the news, he
should have said Il do not believe it"
That is only human nature. Peary said
this but did not stop with what would
have been almost an involuntary ex
clamation; he plainly says that Cook
has been guilty of fraud.
There may be. and doubtless are,
reasons unknown to the majority of us
which have led Peary to make such a
declara tion-it is impossible that this is
merely the cry of disappointed ambi-
ton. He must believe that there are
good grounds for challenging Cook S
discovery.
1t is question. however, whether
his intense disappointment has not
warped his Observation-Disclosures the
wish TO find the claim unfounded has
not been. in a way, the father of the
thought.
To the outsider it would seem thai
the only fair way would be to, require
both claimants for the honor to sub
NIT their claims and proofs, sealed
to the same tribunal. whatever it ma.
be. Peary is evidently trying to pu
Cook on the defensive. so it would b,
manifestly unfair and Cook would b.
very unwise to publish his story frs
and allow Peary the opportunity to SCI
his proofs before publishing his own
Let us have justice and meanwhile
let us believe that two American
have succeeded where hundreds hav
failed.

.CHINAMEN ARE
CHARGED WITH
SELLING BEER

AS the result of neat trap laid by
Officer Ben Allen, in which Lee Hind
and Lee Neu were caught in the act
of selling liquor on Sundays, warrants
for the above were sworn out today,
following information filed against
them by Prose cuting Attorney E. j.
Smith Although some difficulty was
experienced in capturing these China
men, owing to the fact that their fell
low countrymen would not divulge
their names. they were finally appre-
hended and will be placed under ar
rest this afternoon.

was being sold in this place on Sun

gram which was arranged long in adj
vance is a very complete one. Among
other things the entire delegation will
journey to Brush Run where they will
visit the place where the first Christ

will also be chartered and the trip
made to Washington where the site of

Washington had several walking sticks

The date of t e convention is yet
some time in the future and it is
possible that more Walla Walla people
will make up their minds to go as the
number of delegates a church is en-

make the trip.

October II and the sessions will con-

An area of low barometric pressure
now off the coast of British Columbia

THIS is dies IRAE."

The world has come to an end Il
number of times. That is to say, the
end of the world has been predicted
many times and the prophecy has
been implicitly believed up to the
very last minute by the faithful. The
unvarying failure of the world to
come to an end at the appointed time,
however. has not resulted in a cessa-
ton of predictions. Once more the
final cataclysm is to take place-this
morning at 10 o'clock being the day
and hour fixed by the Latter Reign Of
the Apostolic church. Hundreds of the
elect are awaiting the great event,
many of them having disposed Of all
their worldly goods, and set their
houses in order in the spiritual sense
Until 10 O'Clock this morning they
will complacently mediate upon the
approaching triumph of the saved and
the onrushing destruction of the other
kind of people
1t is small compliment to modern
intelligence that such beliefs should
be soberly held in this day and age of
the world, with the record of numer-
Gus false prophets behind each new
prediction of the worlds finish. But
there is no end to human egotism
and that is an essential part of any
belief founded on the sanctification
of the believer and the certain de-
struction of the person not singled
out for salvation. But how much
more absurd is this view of the mis-
guided people waiting for the heav-
ems to be rolled together as a scroll
and the earth to be melted in fervent
heat-or whatever other form the
worlds ending may take-than some
of the view expressed by Mrs. Besant
in her recent lectures and interviews
or than many another fantastic be-
lief which arrays itself against hu-
man reason, the experience of the
world and all sane philosophical spec
ulation?
Tonight there will be another dazed
little band of deluded people, torn
from their spiritual mornings and
adrift on the tossing ocean of despair.
Then after time somebody else will
rise up and make the same foolish
claims to powers as prophet, and
the wheel of human credullty VIII
make another turn. The worlds wis
dom will probably never reach the
point where there are no fools, for
fools and wise men are only relative
terms and differentiate each other.

REMEMBER THE ESklMOS.

It is strange that nobody has
thought of suggesting a suitable re,
cognition of the services of the
Eskimos who played such prominent
part in the winning of the great white
goal which America has doubly Won
Pearv frankly confessed that he refused
pany him to the pole, but there was at
least one Eskimo, and probably four,
beside him and Henson when they
stood at the top Of the world. DR.. Cook
also had two little brown men" with
him when he reached the summit of
the globe While it is unquestionably
true that the Eskimos themselves
would never have discovered the pole
without the guidance of the seasoned
explorers, it is just as true that in
all probability the explorers would
never have reached the goal without
the aid of the Eskimos.
Some commensurate share of the
| honor of the achievement should be
given to the natives of the farthest
north. Perhaps in the course of time
white men in sufficient numbers would
have been acclimatized to the point
| where they could have performed the
/ indispensable work of the natives, but
that time is far in the future. The
victory under present conditions GER
| tainly could not hav1 been won with
| out the assistance of the Eskimos. AL
OF which calls attention to the fact
! that a leader without followers, a gen
eral without soldiers. can accomplish
! llitte-no more in fact, than the fol-
| lowers and the soldiers without their
leaders and generals, who, while they
| may be entitled to the lions share OF
the honor. are not justified in appro-
priating ii all.
Uncle Sam owes the Eskimos a nice
Christmas present this year by way
of showing his appreciation A shiI
