COOK THANKS BkRNIER
Canadian Helped Explorer to Reach
Observation-Disclosures Letter TO
Berner Made Public.

Ottawa, Oct captain Bernier Of
the Canadian steamer Arctic, today
made public a letter written to him
by Dr.. Cook, May %, and delivered
Sept at Upernavik. The letter says:
1T was your supplies, so kindly left
in charge of Mr.. Whitney. which all.
ed me greatly in getting to Upernavik,
All my other property was taken by
Peary under the guise OF relief. MuI-
ply, the man in charge, however, was
instructed not to engage any relief
efforts, and not to allow Eskimos TO
cross and search until March, 1909.
Nay large store of supplies and my
station were used for barter with the
natives to satisfy Peary's commercial
greed. We have picked the polar
prize but the effort was dangerous
beyond conception. The splendid as.
sistance YOU have given and the lib
crafty of the Canadian government
in sending ship is happy contrast to
the hindrance and injustice of one of
my own countrymen.'

CENTRAL BANK

CONGRESS- MUST ACT
On Subject of Its lnstitution--Ta aft

horn of the panic of 1907 when the is
sue of clearing house certificates TO
supply sufficient currency to meet the
demands of the busienss interests was
necessary, although Americas Golfers
were Overlooking with gold. The tenn
porary legislation enacted during that
critical period must either be sup.
planted or re-enacted into a perman-
ent law. and foremost among the va
rous projects that have been ad
yanced as proper solution of the
problem stands the proposed central
bank.
As it is common belief that it will
form tile basis of curative legislation
TO be recommended by the monetary
commission, and because Taft, in his
Boston speech signitied his own ia
vorable disposition towards the pro.
jeet. ii is timely to disclose what is be-
lieyed to be in the minds of the presi.

fer to the central bank"
"A bank OF the people and for the
people, is the definition made by
George H. Reynolds. president of the
American Bankers Association in a
Chicago speech, as he pointed out that
any one would be privileged to buy
hank stock. Political control Of the
great bank base been made least diff
fcult by life appointment of officers.
The integrity OF its operation will lie
assured by board OF supervisors APP
pointed by the president secretary of
the treasury, and comptroller of the
currency of the alternate terms of at
least eight years to bridge over polit-
ical mutations. Thus would be met
the objection founded upon the his,
tory of the old United States Bank,
that the central bank might be pros
tituted to political uses and be made
| a powerful engine for the perpetua
ton of one party. 1t is not intended
that the central bank support the
credit of the nation If the govern
ment needs funds it must continue
in the old way to borrow by the salt
of bonds
The single purpose of the centra
bank Will be to safeguard the bust
ness interests Of the people in thl
private relations, If there is need o
more money fob the buadlss the
bank can supply it by notes, if there
is a plethora, in duh times thest
notes can he withdrawn rapidly. The
governmental assistance to the insti
tuition will be limited to the deposit
of all government funds now in tht
national banks. The central institu
ton will not receive deposits from in
| diyiduals
1t may be that the political parties
are divided on this question and that
there may be new alignment in con
gress. Indeed, there is reason to be
lieye that the administration will pre-
fer to wage the battle on this basis.

The Mob Spirit at a Funeral.

The old Roman maxim to say moth
ing but good of the dead has long been
observed in all civilized communities.
When a man has finished his life's
work and passed on to the great be-.
yond it has generally been regarded as
right to draw the mantle of charity
| over his weakness and shortcomings;
to emphasize his good qualities, if he
least accord him the benefit of silence.
1t is therefore surprising, not to say
revolving, to learn of the scenes that
occurred in connection with the funer-
al of M. Chauchard,a French Million
aire, which was held in Paris last week.
By the provisions of his will an ex-
ceedingly expensive and pomopus pa
geant was provided and the public felt
that he had not only exhibited an in
tensely selfish spirit in his life but
| that he had merely emphasized this
characteristic in the matter of his dis
terms of his will. AS a result, a quar-
| ter of a million people swarmed into
the ariStOcratiC quarter of Paris where
the house in which he had lived in re-
gal splcndor was situated and the whole
solemn occasion was turned into a rio
| tous and boisterous holiday. AS the
| mCnstrous pageant almost barbaric i'm
| it's display and elegance, passed along
the streets, the newsboys sold gro
contrasting the money he had squand-
| cred upon ballet girls with the lean sal
aries he had paid his hard working en-
ployes. AS the cortcge neared the
! church the crowd broke through the
lines of police, and, reaching the big
funeral cars. tore away the wreaths of
| flowers and rare orchids with which
they were decorated, hurting them
among the crowd and trampling them
under foot. From the church to the
cemetery the soldiers and police which
had been called out in large numbers
were fairly obliged to fight a way for
the procession through the bowling,
hooting mob that blocked the way, a
condition of affairs which was only
stopped when the huge iron gates OF
the cemetery shut out the masses.
| Fortunately, such exhibitiOnes as this
are rare, even in France where an emo
tional and excitable populace is often
carried to extremes. Possibly, how
ever, the occurrence, grewsome as ii
was, may not be without some influence
in convicting other millionaires tina,
they owe some duties to the public

The Lake to- Gulf Ship Canal.

The advocates of a fourteen foot
canal from the Great lakes to the quiz
have experienced a decided set back
in the report Of the Government board
which finds that it would involve an
outlay of $12S.OOO.OOO, and is otherwise
impractical 1t does not necessarily
follow, however, that this report will
result in the abandonment of the
project to give Chicago a waterway to
the gulf 1t is simply the opinion of
a body of eminent engineers that it
would not be practical to undertake
the work with a fourteen foot channel.
Later on another report will be made
upon the same project with a ten foot
channel. Inasmuch as this would in
volve a vastly smaller expenditure,
and would eliminate a number of the
most serious engineering problems to
be encountered in the undertaking, it
is possible that this more modest pro-
position may receive the endorsement
OF the Board.
Naturally enough the report of the
government board on the IA foot
channel will be the occasion of much
disappointment to Chicago, ST. Louis,
and New orleans, the three great
cities most directly and vitality inter-
ested in this great project; but the
fact remains that our government
cannot afford to enter lightly or
hastily upon works of this magnitude
