what is now known as the Hudson

DIVIDE THE GLORY.

Peary seems to have been fooled b,
his own desires and anxiety to keep the
spotlight entirely to himself Cook
played Peary's own game OF holding or
to his secret until he could get out into
civilization with it. Perhaps he lied d
little and left stories that We're M
tended to deceive Peary 1t seems 4
have been a race between the two mer
and when Cook permitted Peary to
hear and believe that, he had not been
far enough north to interfere with
Peary's ambitions he was using what
a whist player would term finess,'
Peary, anxious to believe that none but
ne had been at the pole gave ready
credenee to rumor and jumped at the
conclusion that Cook was ATTEMPTING
to rob him of glory we'll earned.
But it appears that Cook told Whit
ney; that witness was present when
he told him: that he swore both OF
them to conceal the story from Peary
He appears to have worked Com
mander Peary to a "fareyouwell'' and
got out to the wires to tell his story
first Peary himself held up his story
waiting to give it to the world in a
blaze of glory. When he came to the
outposts of civilization and found that
he had been "scooped" he said much in
a jealous rage that he is sure to be
sorry for if he is not already sorry.
There is no occasion to discredit
Cook or to cruelty Peary The COM
mander has betrayed himself into a bad
position. However, he is a great arctic
dlscoverer and his achievement is ,lot
the less great because another had ac-
complished it or because he has been
unwise in his disappointment. There
is plenty of glory to go around. Both
men have accomplished a great dead
Both should have credit for their per-
Torrance and the public NAV we'll af
ford to cease controversy and ACCEPT

MARENGo's MAYOR.
[Dubuque Telegraph- Herald. ]

Dubuque Telegraph Herald
The mayor of Marengo Iowa, was
ousted from office under the Cosson
law for drunkenness. The law is up
held because Marengo is entitled to a
mayor who is not a drunkard.
Nevertheless Marengo did not need
the Cosson law to be rid of the mayor.
If his drunkenness made him negli-
gent of his duties, he could have been
mpeached by the city council. and
statute books.
The council did not see fit to inn
peach him, but the state of Iowa, act
ing thru its attorney general. did pro-
coed against him.
One effect of the proceedings is to
remind public officials if they should
get drunk they win be deprived of
their office, that drunkenness and Of
fice-holding are Incompatible
If there were great many drunk
ards in public office in iowa there
would be pressing need of such a law.
But the drunkards are few and they
are retired from office at the close of
their terms.
The fair name of Iowa requires the
statement that no extraordinary
plague of drunkenness demanded the
enactment of the Cosson law
Whereas under the old law 1t would
have been necessary to prove that the
officials drunkenness interfered with
his official duties, under the Cosson
law it is enough that the mayor gets
drunk on or off duty.
While there was no urgent need of
the statute, it's effect unquestionably
will be reflected in a higher average of
sobriety among public officials and
by reason of the force of their ex-
ample, higher average generally.
We can not agree with those news
papers which consider that the Cosson
law is a dangerous invasion of the
right of local government Nc
right is taken away from community
when the state insists that it shall not
have drunkard in public office.

THE "GooD FIGHT"

'Well, Nora" said John Johnson as
vitality,r"I have made a good fight"
Nothing became the the governor OF
Minnesota more than his manner of
dying. He. had made good fight all
his lite. He fought out the last struggle
to the end and realizing that the odds
were overwhelming and that defeat
wife with the knowledge that he had
done his best and went quietly into the
undiscovered country, the captive of
the inevitable conqueror. He had
fought a good fight all his life. He had
fought from poverty and the contempt
of the crowd up to honor and a kindly
sell higher than circumstances. In the
rough and tumble battle of politics he
had fought hard but fairly and kept
himself clean. He had fought away
the temptations that office and Aoppor-
tunity spread before the eyes of weak
men to the betrayal of their trust. in
his private life he had made his home
and the woman who waited there a do
fence against follies that slay fools.
Altogether when he came to the close
of the day he might say, as he did, Il
have made a good fight and the nation
will agree with him.
johnson had the truest comfort in
his hour. There is no such satisfac-
ton in victory won as in victory fought
for boldly, unflinchingly manfully even
if lost. When men have so lived that
they can look back over their lives as
the great change nears and feel that
they have lived strong, clean sincere
and helpful lives, that they have been
a multiplying factor for good, that
their best has been given for the bet
ter part death loses half its sting AMI
hope gains infinite strength.
Why not fight the good fighto Is
anything else worth while? Why palter
with vice for the price of ease and
partner with the worst when the best
is begging support and assistance? II
is a good sign of the times when we
recall that in the search for candidates
previous to the last presidential cam
paign neither party in its popular
sense, gave consideration to any but
men in whose sincerity and cleanliness
the masses held confidence johnson
was one ofsthese. Taft was one Of
these. Bryant was one of these. All
had recogds.sof good fights made and
of cleansiivestslfved
To fight the good fight is to pay the
Creator for&the benefaction of human
existence. It is a debt. Johnson kept
UP his installments. When the obli-
cation fell~due and the last settlement
was to he made he could say that his
accounts were in shape for the coming
settlement.

Cooks confident fashion and genial
manner are having their effect on the
jury in the polar discovery case.
President Taft is outspoken. 1t is a
good fault to be outspoken and to
stick to what has been said both be-
fore and after election.
Very often a man loses a good job,
not because he is ignorant but because
he knows too much.
Retail trade is picking up, railroad
business better work plenty and
wages high. What do we want any,
way?
Sure enough the laiooring man today
lives better in many ways than did

STREAM POLLUTION.
TCedar Rapids Cazatte I

Among those who give perfect sani-
tatlon even casual thought. there is not
one but who is eager for the day when
the pollution of the rivers win be alb
solutely prohibited; when no city will
think of allowing sewers to empty filth
into the stream; when every ounce of
garbage will be disposed of in some
scientifically approved way The sub
ject of the maintenance of river puri-
fication is being widely discussed, and
the opinion is rapidly crystalizing that
it is most reprehensible criminality
which tolerates river pollution. The
people are becoming so we'll informed
on the subject that it will indeed be
strange if that pollution is not ma
terially lessened before another ten
years have elapsed
