Prof W. H. Hobbs, of the geologi-

history as the foremost impostor Of

Frederick A. Cook announced Satur-

self head an expedition to ascend the
mountain to obtain If possible the
records which he says he left there
in 1906. The doctor says: "As to my

Black and White.

This Is what DR.. q. Frank Lydston.
professor of surgery in the University
of Illinois, radical nationally known,
thinks about intermarriage of blacks
and whites:
Legislation against miscegenation
is illogical. Understand me, now:
do not advocate my beliefs. which
are purely the results of scientific
reasonings.
THE mixing and amalgamation of
the bloods is the only solution of the
race problem. The black race must
be washed with whitefblood. And as
long as the right of sexual selection
is left to the human race, miscegena-
ton will occur.
IF we do not settle our race prob
lem by amalgamation, in time 1t is
going to cost more in the shedding Of
blood than 1t cost to free the slaves.
We have told the negro in the
fourteenth and fifteenth constitutional
amendments that he was free; yet, in
a sense. we never have been able TO

STATE TREASURY
IS SHY ON CASH
THE APPROPRIATION WAS roo
SMALL BY A MILLION
FOR DEFICIT.
STATE PAYING NO BILLS
while Institutions Borrow to Pay
Ineir Running Expenses, How ls
the Interest To Be Met?

Accorording to State Treasurer
sleeper, the tax budget appropriation
made by the last legislature was ST.
VoO,OO0 too low to meet the deficit
that Is growing against the state. The
tax Tor the fiscal year 1909, which will
be available In January, is $500, 900
IN round numbers, but this will not
clean up the states Indebtedness and
provide for current expenses for the
year.
We have practically paid no bills
since July l." said the state treas
urer. and now we are only taking
care OF the payrolls OF the clerks en-
ployed in the various state depart
ments. So far we have borrowed
$4,000 of the $250,0O0 allowed by the
new constitution. There is now about
$7SO,O00 on hand, but $4,000 Will
nave to be paid out In November to
the primary schools.
BY not paying any bills we will
get through, but the state must meet
them some time and there will be an
other deficit next year, which the
next legislature will have to make
provision for The last legislature
not only cut down the estimates Of
the state accountant, but no cog
nizance was taken OF the fact that the
various state Institutions are growing
at the rate of | should say 10 per
cent year, thus increasing the cost
OF maintenance"
There is likely to be fuss raised
when the state institutions try to
make up the deficits which are now
piling up against them. They are
meeting expenses and paying the pay
rolls by borrowing and it will be a
question as to how the interest on
the sums borrowed are to be paid.
Those who have looked into the mat
ter assert that the state cannot pay
any interest money.
The dopesters at the capitol have
1t figured out that exclusive Of the
primary money ii costs $4,000 day
to run the state. and as no bills have !
been paid since July /, it is easy to
figure what the deficit will be Janu-

Gate and Simmons peninsula.
Here for the first time during the
entire journey. except as already
noted off Cape Thomas ii. Hubbard,
they encountered open water. On this
point the boys were clear. emphatic.
and unshakable. They spent a good
deal of time In this region, and finally
abandoned their dogs and one sledge,
took to their boat. crossed Hell's Gate
to North Kent, up into Norfolk Inlet,
then back along the north coast of
Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera,
where they obtained fresh elder duck
eggs. Here they cut the remaining
sledge of, that is shortened it, as It
was awkward to transport with the
boat, and near here they killed a wal
rus.
The statement In regard to the fresh
elder duck eggs permits the approx
mate determination of the date at this
time as about the first of July. (This
statement also serves, If indeed any
thing more than the inherent straight
forwardness and detail of their nara
tive were needed, to substantiate the
accuracy and truthfulness of the boys
statement. This location of Cape Vera
is mentioned in Sverdrup's narrative
as the place where during his stay in
that region he obtained elder duck
eggs.)
From Cape Vera they went on down
into the southwest angle OF Jones
Sound, where they killed a seal;
thence east along the south coast of
the sound, killing three bears at the
point noted on the map, to the PENN
suia known as Cape Sparbo on the
map, about midway on the south side
of Jones Sound. Here they killed
some musk-oxen and, continuing east,
killed four more at the place indi-
Gated on the chart. and were finally
stopped by the pack ice at the mouth
of Jones Sound. From here they
turned back to Cape Sparbo, where
they wintered.
After the sun returned in 1909 they
started. pushing their sledge, across
Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence
along the coast TO Clarence Head;
passing inside of two small islands

around Cape Isabella aud up to Com

along the northwest coast OF Heibere
Land to a point indicated on the mar
(Sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west across
the ice. which was level and covered
with snow. Offering good going, to O
low Island which they had seen from
the shore OF Heiberg Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
camped for one sleep.
The size and position of this island
as drawn by the first boy, was criti-
cised by the second boy as being toe
large and too far to the west, the sec.
ond boy calling the attention OF the
first TO the fact that the position of
the island was more nearly in line
with the point where they had left
Heiberg Land (Cape Northwest) and
the channel between Amund Rhymes
Land and Ellef Rhymes Land.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ring
mes and Amund Ringnes Lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
left-hand one of these two lands
(Amund Ringnes Land), passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore OF Amund
Ringnes Land, the Eskimos killed a
deer as indicated on the chart.
The above portion of the state
ment of the Eskimo boys covers
the period of time in which Dr. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and
back, and the entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to go to it.
If it is suggested that perhaps DR..
Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between
the time of leaving the northwest
coast of Heiberg Land at Cape North
west, and his arrival at Ringnes Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date of DR.. Cooks let
ter of March II, at or near Cape
Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four
or five sleeps at that point, and the
number of days required to march
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest Ga distance of some sixty
nautical miles,. which would advance
his date of departure from the land
to at least the 25th of March, and be
prepared to accept the claim that DR..
Cook went from Cape Northwest

grees north) to the pole, distance of

chart, where they killed another deer.
They then went east across the
sc nth part of Crown Prince Gustav
