This year of grace, 1909, is truly
an epochal year. The development
OF the flying machine and various
other wonderful achievements, and
the discovery of the North Pole. And
in all OF these the United States OF
America-greatest and most glorious
country under the sun-has been the
chief claimant for recognition and
honor.

AND now the North Pole has been
discovered some more-and as was
perfectly natural and to have been
expected, it was another American
citizen who turned the trick. News
comes that Robert E. Peary reached
the pole on April 6, 1909, a little
short Of one year from the time DR..
Cook made his successful dash.

ALL hail and all honor to Com
mander Robert f. Peary. He is none
the less hero and worthy OF the
higest honors and distinction because
he was not first to reach the North
Pole. He did we'll the work he set for
himself and deserves as much credit
for his achievement as if DR.. Cook had
failed or had never been heard OF.

The only disbelief so far exprssJ
in DIR. Cooks discovery OF the NortS
Pole, appears to have been inspirJ
by jealousy. DR.. Keely, of Phlad4l.
phia, who was a member Of II.
Peary expedition, has made Himself
ridiculous through the publicly cr.
pressed belief that it was all rasaoi
mental delusion-that DR.. Cook bod
gone crazy on the arctic solitude,
and had only imagined that he had
discovered the Pole. The public wi1
set more store by DIR. Cooks nara.
tive OF his trip and by records Of +
than it will by the opinions Of thos
who have tried for the Pole and
failed. They are not in position to
criticize, anyway.-Charlotte Chron,

and effects. with technical moves. and
what not. to get results-that is, to
win battles.
so with my Minneapolis waiter In
a restaurant I said to him:
Look at the color of this water.
Why. it's not fit to drink!
But the waiter. instead of rushing
some crystaI-pure water to me, took UP
my goblet, studied it carefully, shook
his head and said:
No, sir; you're deceiving yourself
sir. The waters perfectly all right

Will the Trusts Control
Air and Water

How often have you used that
good old joke about the trusts
controlling everything but the
air we breathe?
You may soon have a chance
to turn this jest to earnest.
There is a fat young trust
forming just now that proposes
to reach its tentacles into the air
we breathe and draw therefrom
a product which will enable the
monopoly to "levy tribute on
every loaf of bread, every pound
of beef and every manger of
oats"
We are quoting from their own
prospectus. This interesting
trust is now a part of the hustling
group which is grabbing our water
powers. With cheap water power
they will produce a fertilizer
which in Germany enables the
farmer to raise 400 bushels of
potatoes to the acre, and in slow
old behind-the-times u. S. A. we
average only Is bushels. Other
crops are benefited in the same
proportion.
Energy in the soil; energy in
the streams. Those are things
we've got to wakeuPand protect;
or else these trust gentlemen
will do just what their prospectus
says they'll do: Levy a tribute
on every thing we use.
