mystery land within the circle worked
without sight of another white face.
Utterly alone save for the presence
of the half savage natives he had with
him. Cook claims to have covered the
600 miles computed as having separ-
ated him from the top of the world
since last he was heard from at Cape
Thomas Hubbard and alone presuma-
bly, he retraced his steps TO the first
outpost of civilization.
Just because of that one fact-that
he was alone and that no man Was
with him who could understand the
story that would come through the
peep sight of the sextant-Dr. Cook
will meet with doubling and demands
for absolute proof of his assertion
when he comes again to civilization.
Through the comment of men %
science here it was made evident that
| the location of the north pole cannot
be accepted when it is only one mans
unsupported statement against the
world.

Get the Facts.

The announcement that President
Taft insists upon an exhaustive, i'm
partial investigation into the. charges
made regarding huge land scandals in
Alaska is only what was to have been
expected in view of his past record
and known character.
Previous clashes between Forester
Pinchot and Secretary Ballinger over
the disposition of some of the public
domain in certain western states and
territories seem applicable on the
theory that these two officials have
honestly differed in their interpreta-
ton of the law. With respect to
Alaska. the statement is made that
coal deposits of vast value have been
fraudulently allowed TO pass into the
hands of individuals or corporations.
The president should get the facts,
and all the facts. If the allegations
are proved TO be untrue. those impli-
Gated in them are entitled to have
their falsity established. If there has
been deliberate crookedness on the
part of any officers of the government,
the guilty individuals should not only
be dismissed in disgrace. but should
be relentlessly prosecuted-while the
purloined land should be promptly re-
turned to the public possession as Il
matter of course.

The Reason for sIack's Long Silence.

The Reason for SIack's Long Silence.
Thirteen days after David E. Mack )
nomination by the republican cOnven-
ton for judge of the supreme court, he
declined the nomination.
Why the delay of Is days?
1t could not have taken Mr. Mack
Is days to refuse nomination which
he never sought and which he had
never had any intention of accepting.
The most probable reason for the de-
lay of Is days was TO give o. F. Berry
ample time in which'to effect a frame
up for candidate of his choice.
To believe that Berry has not taken
advantage of that delay of almost two
weeks. would be to question his schem-
ing capacity as politician.
The effect of the Is days delay is
to give the judicial committee an ex-
cuse for not reassembling the repub-
llcan convention. This, in order that
the frameup may not be disturbed.
AS result the republicans of the
district are having today as little tn
say IN the selection of joke candidate
NO. as they did in the selection of
Joke candidate No. l.

HEIGHO. but it's humdrum life.
When all is said and done.
A lot OF work. some worrying
And very little fun.
Three meals. with labor in between.
And thus the day goes by!
All the excitement that we get
Our creditors supply.
A brief vacation once a year,
Two weeks perhaps of mirth.
To spend the money we have made,
Then back again to earth.
Back to the hammer or the pen.
The chisel or the saw.
To selling soap from door to doNr
Or maybe to the law
Back to our everyday affairs.
The routine and the grind.
To overtime to catch up with
The work that got behind,
To argue politics perhaps
Or talk about the crops.
To see man with tangled feet
Arrested by the cops.
Yes. it's humdrum. sure enough,
No change from day TO day.
The same old places where we eat,
The same old debts TO pay.
The same old faces in the Streets
The same old jokes to hear.
The same old neighbors dropping in
Thus runs away the year.
