Governor John Johnson.

The late Governor Johnson was
not what is generally called an
orator. And yet whatever he said
was mad eagerly by thousands OF
his countrymen. 1t was his sim
certify and his honesty OF pur-
pose that gave weight to his ut
terances. Speech is impressive
only when it is known to come
from an earnest heart. Flowery
speech sounds we'll to the ear, but
it rarely takes permanent lodg-
ment in mems minds and hearts.
A southern newspaper truth
fully remarks that the study of
John A. Johnson's career is men
tally wholesome and invigorat-
ing. 1t shows that really great
things can be accomplished with
out pull or court influence"
Happily it has numerous counter
parts in politics. science, the pro-
LESSONS, art and business, and is
the rule rather than the excep-
ton. Nearly all of the men who
amount to much in the United
States today, in all walks OF use

their own fortunes.

To thoroughly know the virtues OF a

ent Doan's Kidney Pills stand this

here in Plymouth. People who testi-

ache, kidney and urinary disorders,
now declare that relief was perman-

any Plymouth sufferer longer doubt
the evidence?

More Work for Trustees.

Governor Marshall will ask the
new State Board of Accounts,
which has charge OF the enforce
ment of the public accounting
law ito issue a circular letter to
the 1,016 township trustees of
the. state setting forth that all
bids, whether received before or
after notice is posted, must be
considered in awarding township
contracts. The Governor will al
so recommend that the bids be
not destroyed, but kept on re-
cord for examination by the field
examiner of the State Board OF
Accounts. The board itself has
been considering for some time
the issuance of such a letter. The
proposed recommendations are
the outgrowth of a discovery that
trustees in some instances have
been disregarding bids of firms
which bid in regular form, but
who submitted proposals before
the usual notice of receiving bids
was posted. 1t was found that
these bids were sometimes lower
than those for which contracts
were let. All the bids received by
township trustees will be looked
into by the field examiners APP
pointed by the board after the ex-
animation of applicants to be
held at the State House soon.

DEVELOPMENT
NOW LIMITED
JAMES ]. HILL SAYS LAW
& COMMERCE RESTRICT
COMBINATIONS.
Management of Large Systems
Are Shown to be Beyond
Human Endurance.

Here is the judgment OF James
]. Hill, chairman of the Great
Northern Railroad, deliberately
expressed and revised for an ar
ticle in the Sunday evening edi-
ton OF a Washington paper.
Three things prevent the fur
Their organization of American
railroads into systems. The first
is the law. The Sherman antitrust
act makes it unlawful for any
two railroads to effect any COM
bmation in restraint OF trade, and
the further systematizing CT rail-
roads would be such combiEa-
ton, according to the courts.
The second is the determining
force of commerce. Suppose a
man could effect what Mr.. Gould
aimed to achieve system
reaching from coast to coast, or
ganized and operated as one road.
What good would it be? The
man west of the Mississippi
would still ship his wheat, his
corn, his live stock to Chicago or
St. Louis, and there it would
change owners. Compared with
such conSigr ments to Chicago or
ST Louis the amount OF through
shipments would be incCnslier-
able. Markets, geography, COM
merce-these are the things that
limit the development OF railroad
systems. And they draw the lines
just about where the presen: svs-
TENS are now.
The third is the human PROB
lem OF getting men to manage
large systems. Take the New
York Central as it is. 1t has, say,
$4,000 men on its rolls. That's ar
army Suppose they all struck?
And when the man is found big
enough to carry this load and
hat of two or three other sys-
TENS employing corresponding
armies, he could not stand it.
Why, the thing that killed Mr..
Hartman was trying to carry a
load bigger than he could bear.
1t killed him in a few years"

Whitney's Startling Story.

Harry Whitney, the New Hav-
IN sportsman, who met DIR. Cook
in the ar-;c and learned from him
Of the discovery OF the pole, has
told his startling story to the
New York Herald in a wireless
dispatch from Indian Harbor,
Labrador.
Mr.. Whitney asserts that after
DR.. Cook had entrusted TO him
The records and data OF his trip
to the apex of the earth, together
with certain OF his instruments
and The American flag he Goated
at the pole, the New Haven man
took all these in his own trunk
board Robert E. Peary'S snip
the Roosevelt.
Immediately Mr. Peary em-
phatcally declared that nothing
belonging to DIR. Cook could be
taken back on the Roosevelt, and
Mr.. Whitney was compelled TO
unpack his trunk and bury all DIR.
Cook effects, including the
Stars and Stripes, in the rocks at
Etah, where they now await NJ
coveTy.
Mr.. Whitney at the same time
says he was compelled to give
his word of honor that he had dis
posed of all of DR.. Cooks prop
erty that he held.
Il have no doubt that DR.. Cook
found the pole, says Mr.. Whit
ney.

his story, THE Conquest OF the
Pole" DIR. Cook describes the adj
ventures which befell him and his

ESKIMOS GUARD RECORDS
DR.. Cook Believes instruments
Which Peary Refused to Car
ry Are Safe.

New York, Sept. 2S.-"My in
strulnents are not lost. | am sure
of that" said DR.. Cook today Il
shall have them brought here.
Ny ESkimos are at Etah anG they
know the value of the irstru-
ments, although they do not Tin
derstand how to use them. They
have a kind of sacred -ega-d for
them and will take good care OF
them.
IF | had known what [ know
now | shoull not have lei; either
records or instruments DIT Etah.
Mr.. Whitney told me and fully
believed his ship was going to
that place, and advised me to
leave my things in his care, to be
brought to New York on board
his ship, where they would not
be jolted SO much as in a long
sledge journey over the rough
land ice to Upernavik. did not
think at any moment of having
them forwarded on the Peary
ship. If | had not met Mr. Whit
ney | should have taken them on
the sledge with me to Upernavik.
AS to the incident OF the
American flag which had hoist
ed temporarily at the pole, and
then brought back TO Etah with
me, | gave it to Mr.. Whitney on
his special request.
He had it in his private trunk
when he went on board the
Roosevelt, but he was not, ac-
cording to his own statement,
permitted to bring it with him.
He was compelled to take it out
OF the trunk and bury it."
Asked what he thought OF
Peary's action, DR.. Cook said: Il
prefer to wait. If Peary had been
in need of anything at E.tah he
could have had everything of
mine. | gave Mr.. Whitney in
structions to turn over any OF my
things to Peary or any white man
who required them and when he
came away to give them to my
EskimoS.
On the question of his equip
ment DR.. Cook was very en-
phatic that he possessed all that
was necessary. The statement
that the condition OF his boots
would show whether he had been
to the pole brought the following
reply:
We used Eskimo sealskin kam-
iks. When the first pairs were
worn out we gave them to the
dogs to eat when we reached
Jones Sound, and there made new
ones. These also were worn out,
and we made others, with which
we returned to Etah. When we
arrived there the boots were COM
paratively new"
