all the members of the council are in

Insurance business is picking up ia
Iowa. Auditor John l. Bleakley mas
recently received number of inquiries
from companies wishing to enter the
state and do an insurance business. The
matter is of interest because it shows
that insurance business in the state is
in a healthy condition and that there
is a demand for insurance otherwise
these companies would not seek admit
tance.
A matter of considerable congrat-
ulation to the state of Iowa and to
those who have advocated progressive
measures is in the fact that since the
enactment of the law requiring insur-
ance companies to keep deposits of Sc
curities with the state auditor there has
moi been failure of an insurance
company in this state. Wisconsin pass
ed such a drastic law that the insurz
ance companies were driven out OF thai
state, Some other states have done the
same thing.
Iowa's law has not driven any COM
pany out and on the other hand new
companies are continually seeking ad.
mission to the state. At the same time
the law has proven a. success In its ele'
ment of protection to the people fol
| there have been no failures.

THE K-pEARY CONTROVERSY

The dispute between the friends
of the rival claimants for the honor
of discovering the North Pole has
not been settled by the week'e-dise
cussion, but rathe4Aas become heat
ed and involved thru counter-criti-
cism and mutual recrimination.
The controversy is obviously com
plicated by old antagonisms. There
is first the rivalry of the two New
York newspapers, the Herald ard
the Times, who received respectively
the exclusive stories of the two ex-
plorcrs, and who are enthusiastically
championing their claims. The
fact that Admiral Schley was the
leader in the collection of funds f r
Dr. Cook, while Commander Peary
receives the official support Of the
navy, has brought up the ghost Of
the Sampson-Schley feud. Each
mans life is subjected to micro
scopic scrutiny. DIR. Cooks claim
to have assembled Mt. Mckinley af-
ter his associates had left has al
ways been disputed, and those who
are skcptical of this feat now assert
that he is again trying to impose
upon the public a similar fiction.
On the other hand, Peary has, in
the course of his long career, made
many enemies, who feel that he
has been arbitrary and selfish, and
are inclined to sympathize with
Cook for that reason. Undoubtet-
ly the enthusiastic reception al d
credence given to Cook by the Dan
ISL people was in some degree due
to their dislike of Peary, on account
of his treatment of Captain Otto
Sverdrup when the two explorers
met in the regions. The University
Of Copenhagen, on September 9,
conferred the honorary degree of
Doctor of science upon Cook, in the
face of Mr.. Peary's denial of his
claims, and as the Oscar II" of
the Scandinavian line, bringing him
to New York, stopped at Christian
sand, it was received with a salute
of seven guns by order of King
Haakon. 1t was at first reported
that Rasmussen, a half breed Dan
ish-Eskimo, who met the two young
Eskimos of Cooks expedition at
Etah, did not get from them a con-.
firmation of his discovery, but this
report is now denied. On the other
hand, the conduct Of Harry Whit
ney, to whom Cook said he entrust-
ed his instruments and records s
quite inexplicable. He started back
on the Roosevelt" but instead of
coming on to New York with these
invaluable documents, he transfer
red to the 'Jeanie'' and went on
another hunting trip into the in
terror of Greenland. A telegram
received from him makes no refer
ence to Cooks discovery Of the Pole,
but merely says he claimed to have

members and students of the university

eral feel perfectly satisfied over the
appropriations secured for the institu-

means about $4,000 more than was APP

In special appropriations the most
important one was $4,000, for the new

Another important item was the an
