UNREST IN TEXAS.

Texas, a state assiduously doomed by its ia
nous Ten Million Club as new Arcadia of
peace, plenty fraternity and contentment, has
the spirit Of unrest. According TO 1.-THE Houston
Post the chief centre of agitation and per
turbatOn is the state Legislature That august
body had been holding its head high since it
trumphantly "vindicated" the Hon Joseph w
Bailey two years ago. thus proving its innate
appreciation of the good, the true and the beau
tiful in politics. The Legislature il will he
remembered, reelected Mr.. Bailey first and in
yeStigated and 'yindicated' him aftervard II
followed the q priOri method because Mr.. Bailey
maintained that only by that method could
Texas sufficiently rebuke the Socialists and an
archists'' who were bent on defeating him as \
first step toward undermining the social order
The social order was saved, and the Legislat
ure saved it. Its members feel NOWADAYS. how
ever, that their services have not been properly
appreciated Their dignity is assailed and their
sense of vistue is outraged. An obtuse Gov
ernor writes them messages rejecting on their
industry, intelligence and devotion TO the inter
ests Of the people. According to the Austin
correspondent of The Houston Post" they are
irritable and easily aroused" Scarcely any
kind of question can be raised In the House

It is not easy to understand the 5pparent re

September next There is no lack OF interest
In the celebration There is no indisposition to
make pecuniary provision for all other features
CT It But this one feature, which In some
essential respects IS the most important Of all
Is thus far neglected.
The purpose of the celebration is TO COM
memorate the discovery and exploration or the
Hudson River and the first navigation Of It
with steam power. Now, aside from New York
City and its immediate environs by far the
NEST impressive part OF the river is that on
which the Highlands front, and the Highlands
sre the nobIest part of its shores. Moreover,
through the genius Of one Of the founders OF
American literature the Highlands have been
perpetually and most intima tely associated with
the name and the deeds OF Hudson. Is the state

IT is eminently desirable that this legislation
shall be enacted and become operative at once
so as 20 preclude further commercial invasion
OF the Highlands, which would perhaps cause
irTerievable Disagreement and would certainly
greatly increase the cost of securing the park at
arg future time. The Palisades were secured

1t is announced that Walter Wellman contem-
plates making a fresh attempt 10 reach the
North Pole this year in airship. Unless there
is 4 change OF programme, he will so 10 the
Spitzbergen Islands few weeks hence, and
there complete his preparations. These Will
probably consume less time than was required
in 1907 if the house which he then constructed
md the gas plant which he installed have not
suffered severely from the weather 1t Will
certainly be all advantage TO begin the aerial
tourney on which so much depends earlier than
was possible two years ago. There would be
a better chance of reasonably calm weather In
July and August than at the opening or Sep
TENDER. Besides the days would be longer and
the temperature higher The balloon which he
employed before and which was damaged by
the wind an hour after his last ascent, has
been repaired. and he is credited with great
confidence in his ability TO accomplish his long
cherished object
With the right kind Of airship and the right
kind of management there is at least chance
that some explorer will vet reach the pole and
return in safety. The chief doubts concerning
Mr. Wellman's success are inspired by uncer-
tainties regarding his balloon. No self-pro-
PEELED vehicle OF that class has yet travelled
more than $50 miles. The distance from SpitZ-
bergen TO the pole and back is fully four times
as great. IT, before he starts on the all-impor

he would learn a good deal which he probably
does not now know about his means Of trans
portaton. 4 practical test Of this character
would not only tell him how accurate are his
estimates Of the rate at which the gas will leak
from his reservoir and Of the counterhalancing
loss Of weight from the consumption of fuel.
but would show whether his engines are power
full enough. 1t is also important to find out
how far the cold of the Arctic climate will af-
feet the lubricants he intends TO use on his
machinery, and whether the interference with
the action Of the CarbuTetors which owners Of
automobiles have sometimes experienced Will
impair the activity Of his motors. Still an
other question which he could answer is
whether flexible gas bag like that which he
uses is as well suited to a struggle with the
wind as the rigid reservoir of Count Zeppelin
The money spent in obtaining such informa-
ton would be well invested. Failure to discover
In time some serious fault of design or con
struction might not only subject the explorer
| to Andrees fate, but bring reproach upon a
method Of exploration which ought TO succeed
while the exercise of due caution might enable
Mr. Wellman to surpass Lieutenant Shackle-
tons brilliant performance.
