We shall assume, not that DR..
Cook was a deliberate fakir but that
his mind was affected by a long and
difficult pilgrimage through Arctic
wastes; that he conceived the notion
that he had discovered the north
pole; that his hallucination, due pos
sibly to his hardships and the fact
that no subject other than the dis
covery entered his mind, developed
to a monomania, and that the mag
nitude Of the dishonesty he was prac-
ticing did not appeal to him until he
had taken the fatal first step Of de-
claring that he had discovered the

the eighty guests found telephone
receiver attached to the table avail
able and convenient for his use.
During the evening each of the
guests listened to the voices of Sle-
Yak and Caruso of the Metropolitan
Opera House Company, those distin-
guished artists having consented to
sing in their dressing rooms for the
pleasure of-the guests at the dinner.
The singing was perfectly audible,
and the quality of the voices was
distinctly rendered by this electrical
transmission The distance, of
course, was that of the ordinary To-
cal service OF the telephone.
F But a more remarkable achieve
ment: was to come. The New York
Telephone Company had arranged a
perfect long-distance connection be-
tween the banquet hall in New York
City and a room adjoining the ban
quet hall in Washington, where the
National Geographic Society and it's
guests were assembled. Interspersed
with the speeches from the guests
actually present, brief addresses were
listened to from Commander Peary,
Mr.. Carnegie, Alexander Graham
Bell, and Admiral Chester, in Wash
ington, 230 miles away. From that
distance their voices were transmit
ted with perfect distinctiveness to
the listening diners in New York, and
save for the fact that the speakers
were of necessity visible only to the
eye of faith, the affect was precisely
the same as it would have been had
they been actually present at the
banquet.

The American people, rightly or
wrongly, are to certain extent sus-
picious of the interior department.
1t is a department of the government
of vital interest and Importance, hay
ing under it's control, as it has, the
great natural wealth and resources
of the people. The secretary of the
interior should not only be honest
but above even the suspicion Of dis
honesty. Mr.. Ballinger himself
should insist upon a thorough inves-
tigation of the charges that have
been made. Every patriotic citizen
and official should lend his aid, to-
ward seeing that such an investiga-
ton is had.

Those persons who are Interested
in the Improvement of the condition
of the farmers in this state are get
ting down to a practical basis of re-
form. One of them, suggested by the
grain commissioners of the state at
Minneapolis and Duluth, is that ele-
vators clean grain before they send
it to the terminals, thus preventing
a dockage for dirt and foreign SUBJ
stances and lowering of the grade
and price. This same subject was
discussed and reported upon by the
committee that visited the Minnesota
grain commission at St. Paul last
winter, out of whose report grew the
bill that provides for the existence
of the grain commissioners now at
the terminals. If we send down dirt
and foul seed with our grain, we
may expect that the grain will be
locked and the screenings will be
appropriated by the purchasers with
out payment to the grain shipper.
Our people in this state have a great
deal to do before they can come with
clean hands and demand radical
changes in the methods of docking,
grading and marketing grain. One
of the things to do is to see that
grain is shipped clean, and evenly
loaded. Better farming, better hand
ling of grain, better cleaning and bet
ter business sense on the part Of our
farmers and shippers will result in
substantial profit to our farmers.

meditation he set out to become the
greatest swindler and rogue in the

BROTHER MATT JOHNSON AID

VISES.
Omemee Herald: There are a
number of editors VINO reel that they
have done too much free work for
candidates in the past. And they
undoubtedly have good reasons for
feeling that way. Candidates who
will spend money quite freely are
penurious when it comes to paying
for their printing and advertising.
The Herald believes that the news
papers have not received fair treat
ment from a number of candidates
in the past. However that will not
serve as a legitimate excuse for
newspapers going from one extreme
to the other. A few editors are al
ready intimating that. they desire to
be "seen." Reading between the
lines the inference is forced that it
will be a case of first come, first
served" with some of them; that the
candidate who has the price will look
good to them and will get their ed
itorial support, regardless Of his
principles or lack of principles. No
editor has right to sell his princi-
pies. 1t is inconsistent for editors
to favor an editorial or press associ-
alton. to elevate the profession and
at the same time give the tip that
they are on the auction block. And
it is question if such newspa pers
Observation-Disclosures or not. It is
generally conceded that the influence
Of a newspaper depends to great ex-
