PEARYS SUCCESS
BENEFITS COOK
American Firm Cables Offer Of Fabu-
los Sum For Book to Be Pub
lished BY Or. Cook,

Copenhagen, Sept. Some Of the
most remarkable results of Comman-
der Peary's rivalry with DR.. Cook for
the discovery of the pole is that DR..
Cooks profits from the enterprise are
likely to be largely increased. He has
received offers for his book and lee
lures at twice the figures previously
rendered. One American. Of the high
est standing, cabled terms almost
startling and, it is believed, far be-
yond any sum hitherto paid for such
work. Or. Cook is likely to accept
this offer
The controversy is beginning to
wage warmer here Commander
Peary's statement is unanimously ac-
cepted as true, but there is a very
large following faithful to DR.. Cook
His lecture before the Geographical
Society tonight, however. added little
to the information he had given out
with reference to his expedition, and
he repeated the declaration Of his in
tention to withhold details until the
publication of his book.
The king and queen, Prince and
Princess George of Greece, and many
members of the royal family, togther
with large gathering of the most
prominent people in Copenhagen, this
evening witnessed the presentation to
Dr. Cook of a gold medal by the crown
prince, and listened to the explorers
lecture afterwards.
Standing in front of an immense
map of the Arctic regions, which was
surmounted by the stars and stripes,
DR.. Cook outlined his progress to the
north pole. In introducing the explor-
er, the crown prince said that his re-
ception in Greenland and at Copen-
hagen showed the way the Danes APP
preciated his wonderful exploit. The
prince then begged the honor of pre-
senting to him the medal of the Geo
graphical Society. Dr. Cook told his
story coolly and without hesitation.
but most of his statements had been
given out before

THE SOUTH'S CONDITION

No portion of the country has taken wiser counsel of itself than the South during the two than the South during two years of deression through which the country has been passing, For the first time in our history the South has been well protect ed in reserves of money and means of seif-help.
 It's financial institutions have demonstrated their capacity to endure a strain. It is no small credit to the Southern banking interests to have passed thus far through a dull period with so few failures and so little dis trust on the part of the public,
 It has begun to recover from some of the mistakes of eXtrepne legislation relating to railroads The intervening years have been costly to the public and to the carriers, but now compromises have been reached or court de- cisions yet to be heard from have the questions at issue in hand. The sObering process has gone far in advance oR our cOnclu- sions and has called a, halt upon ill-calcu.ated legislation.
 Meanwhile Southern factories have been building almost re- -ardless of the temporary check on Manufacturing enterprise. Southern manufacturing is less hampered by price agreements, and therefore all the freer to put it's quotations at a level which will bring business.
 Finally, Southern agriculture is on a securer financial foundation than ever before. There are still comparatively few farmers who are rich, but there are many who are well to do. As they have prOspered there has come in- creased ability to use capital prOfitably in the improvement of agricultural methods and a wider appreciation of the prob lens of marketing their products.

STATE FAIR APPROPRIATION

Little Rock, April 7.-The Sen ate passed the State Fair approp riation bill this morning. and ac- cording to the statements of the supporters of the measure, a large majority took a decided step forward in the encourage ment of better farming, better stock raising better fruit cult vation and the all-rOund advance ment of the agricultural and horticultural interests of the state It is true there were five senators opposed to the measure but 25 were for it, believing it to be a measure of great good to the state and especially to the farmers and stock raisers of the country.
 The bill constitutes Arkansas first appropriation to assist the State Fair AssOcia tiOn in mak- ing the fair bigger and better competitive institution to stimulate farmers to do their best and reap the rewards of pro- gress.

AIRSHlP AT NASHVILLE

An airship of some nature was seen too pass over Nashville be- tween 6.30 and 7 o'clock last Friday afternoon, travelling from the northeast to the southwest.
 Mrs. w. T. Russell saw the machine from her residence in Summit Addition and a number of other reputable people, re- siding in the southern portion of the city report having seen it., and watching it for some time.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the people who saw the object that it was a flying machine of some sort but it was so high that oniy the outlines could be seen.--- Nashville News.

homes are worse than nothing Then it becomes the duty of the state or municipality to step in and as far as possible. assume the protection Of the child, and thus render to the child what is not his by nature-a good home. It is the sheerest folly to imagine that a child habitually on the streets at night, witness ing sights it's young life should never dream of, can develop into pure maturity and honorable citizenship. In view of this can one think of any thing better to be done in q public way, than that curfew bells be rung each evening at an early hour?
 Therefore we appeal to our city fathers to enforce our cur few ordinance for it is a gr.ef to some of the mothers of Pres colt to see little tots, as wei. as those not so young but who ought to be under the shelter of and by the fireside at home. roaming the streets at random after nightfall and until late bed time.

OUR CURFEW LAW

Where is our Curfew law? Has It gone into desuetude like so many of our other good laws, or IS 1t the case that those whose
 business 1t is to see to it's en- forcement are too busy with what they think are larger mat ters? We would like to say that there is no larger business in the world than caring for the chil- dren, the wards of our, various communities. We realize that it is hard to enforce. almost any law, for however beneficient the law is sOmebOdy-and sometimes even the parents think the liber- ty of their children is curtailed, and they insist that theirs be exempt from the authority of any law.
