COOK AND PEARY.

Z T is evident that the friends of other ex-
receiving laurels as the discoverer Of the
pole. How carefully the plans TO wrest the
honors from him are being worked up in this
country 1t looks very much as if we should
have a Cook and anti Cook controversy, that is
unless the proofs are so convincing of the dis
covery of the pole that the opponents of Cook
will not have even a slight thread on which to
hang their objections
England, of course, doesn't like the Cook story.
1t likes nothing that is not English Cooks dis
covery of the pole prevents an Englishman from
making such discovery and obtaining the credit
therefor. But there are some in this country
who share in the English desire TO disbelieve
Cook. Certain New York papers are daily print
ing stuff tending to discredit the American eS-
porer. They do not openly doubt the truth of
the tale as told by the American, but they are
ntimating and nsinuating If the world ac-
cepts as fact the story OF Cook, they will be iii
a position TO get from under" and say that they
never for a moment doubted. In some respects
the ant-Cook campaign is being worked up as
the Sampson-Schley controversy was.
Now comes the news that Peary himself has
been at the pole. But he didn't see Cook. Wash
ington dispatches of course, say that the state
ment of the naval officer must be true. They
want no proofs from Peary. They do want
proofs from Cook. Cook is not a part of the
administration at Washington.
But remarkable il is that word from Peary
should have followed that from Cook SO quickly.
And both Americans. At any rate America will
get the honors of discovery Won't the anvil

claims of the rival explorers?

DEMAND FoR pLAYaRouNps.

4 INTEREST has been stirred up in Fairgrounds
for children in the city of Reading. AZ
ter a long debate the City Council has voted $500
for the purpose The money will not be avail
able until next summer The Council is moving
slowly. 1t appears that there is to be no haste
in securing the apparatus for the Fairgrounds for
which the money was appropriated 1t will be
stored so that it will be ready for use next sum-
mer. The Reading advocates OF Fairgrounds
however think that they have made some
progress. Even trapezes and other things which
the children will use put in cold storage for next
year are better than nothing.
A Reading paper suggests that Playground
Association be formed in the city to keep alive
the agitation. That is what has been dcne in
Wilmington This city next year will probably
have more lots on which the children may romp
and frolic than it has at present. An association
can do great deal to promote interest in such
matters.
There is always the expense to be considered.
The cost is what troubled the Reading Council
men. 1t will trouble Wilmington.
There are so many things for which municipal
money can be used that il is often difficult to say
how much should be expended for this or that.
But it is rather certain that as time goes on we
shall have TO give more for Fairgrounds.
The subject OF municipal expense brings up
the matter of municipal government We heard
OF a citizen OF Wilmington a close observer of
public matters who declared the other day that
if Wilmington had proper form of municipal
government the expenses of the city could be re-
duced by at least one-third. He thought that
figure conservative estimate. He believed that
we wasted at least one-third OF our revenue
that we had nothing to show for it. Assuming
that this opinion is correct, think of what could
be done with the money wasted.

Food Preservation.

The proper preservation Of food for
future consumption apparently appeals
so strongly TO the National Association
for the Promotion Of Public Health
that the organization has issued a
small volume dealing exhaustively
with the various phases of the sub
ject. The volume traces the history
OF the storing Of foods from earliest
times to the present, and presents a
symposium Of opinions from various
authorities in which the present status
of the National Food Law is upheld.
The work. which appears to have been
carefully done. is frankly in opposition
60 many popular beliefs upon its SUBJ
ject. and yet because of that will
doubtless throw considerable light upon
the controversy that now exists with
regard to certain preservatives, and
which all thinking individuals have
come to reagrd as a purely CONNER
cial campaign carried on and kept
alive by the advertisers. However,
the small book viii doubtless serve
/ TO clear up some points in connection
with the food question, and il is well
supplied with a listed bibliography OF
authorities setting forth all the expert
mentation with the preservative in
/ question. It is interesting also to note
that various authorities are quoted
who have been supposed to bo unalter-
ably opposed TO the present govern
mental endorsement of and attitude
toward food preservatives, among
them DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. A resume

find no objection to the use Of a prop

Roads in Persia.

BY Edwin Maxey in the September
Forum.
Bad government has been Of such
long duration I'm Persia that Il has left
its imprint upon several phases of
Persian life. This is particularly no.
ticeable in regard to the Industrial life
one of the prime necessities to econom-
mic progress is a developmnt of means
of communication. The road-builder
is the advance agent Of prosperity
Hence, the opening and keeping open
Of the Kings highway" should be one
Of the first cares of a State. Yet so
little attention has been given this sub
ject by the Persian government that
there are not a dozen good wagon
roads in Persia. the caravan routes
are, except in very few cases, merely
trails. And It is an astonishing fact
that although Persia is one of the old
est civilized States, a State Of 62S,O00
square niles area and nine million
population, she has but six miles of
railway Though the States of the
Western Hemisphere have a civiliza-
ton less than one tenth as old, there
is not one of them with which, in this
respect, Persia does not suffer in com
parison. When we recall the import
ance Of good roads TO the political as
well as the economic life of a nation.
we begin to get some idea of the in
efficiency and shortsightedness of the
Persian government. The Romans.
who were the best political organizers
up to their time. early discovered the
Importance of good roads to the eff
cient government of people. and their
example cannot be wisely disregarded.
The trainers of the new constitution
for Persia would do well to copy into
that instrument the provisions in the
Constitution of the United States in
regard to establishing post roads.
