ADVENTURE VS. EXPLORA-
 TON.

\ wirc=edged critic defines the difference between Co 0 k $ achievement and that of Peary. He says triumphantly that Peary $ reaching of the north pole was an exploration, while Cook $ was mere adventure. We presume that for this reason Cook $ discovery is entirely null and void. This distinction rivals in burning importance the differ ences between Tweedledum and Tweedledee and no doubt the scientists will now look wise about the head and decide that poor Cook Is an undesirable eitl- zen. This controversy preelplta- ted by the disappointed discover CT, will probably wind up in a general ease of dry grins. The only way that the discovery of the pole appeals to the people IS as an adventure. Any astrono- mer can take globe and calcu- late just where the pole Is, and there has been pretty generally accepted idea that no land would be found at the pole but simply a sea of ice Cook, as we'll as Peary, confirms this view. But the discovery of the pole is of no practical value j; and the calculations made by the .wo discoverers have no value whatever except as establishing the fact that they got there. The pole is where it was thought to be.
 Although De Soto was not the first European to see the waters of the Mississippi, he IS popular ly credited with having been the discoverer of that river But he was looking for gold and did n 1 care q continental about the river. Still that did not blot out the fact that he found 1t and crossed fl.
 Commander Peary, We very much fear. is d constant violator CT Rule ,, which enjoins all of uS from taking ourselves too d--d d seriously. He has become a sort of monomaniac on the sub .ieet of the pole. He came with in 206 miles of 1t in 1906; and from that time 1t became My Pole, all the Esquimos, of the Are tic Circle were My Esquimos, and the sole right to discover the pole belonged to Me. Hence, when I came back in 1906, it was incumbent on all persons in tine world to hold hands off, and wait till "I had had another whirl at 1t. That $ the Peary view of it, and yet he expects those of us who are endowed with a sense of humor to refrain from snickering.
 The north pole itself and all the ice around Il for a hundred miles are not worth thirty cents to the government of the United States and the people of the world. It's discovery will have one practical effect, 1t will prob ably prevent other chumps from losing their lives in trying to find 1t.
 There is absolutely nothing f, the discovery of the pole ex- cept the adventure. Dr. Cook evidently regarded it that way Other adventurous souls have

tried to reach 1t and failed. Cook mad an idea that he could reach 1t in a certain way and he sue .ecded unless he is the most mon u,nental and intrepid liar in the world, and there is absolutely nothing in his previous career that has not been honorable and to his credit.
 This Was an adventure that appealed to d man like Cook. and he embarked upon il. In fortunately, he paid no attention 10 the Peary claim of pre-emp- ton. He seems to have had q vulgar notion that there would be something unique i'll his find ing the pole and finding 1t first. This we are bound 10 believe, Ee did. until his claims are thoroughly exploded.
 In the meantime PearY has been busy mailing the flag to Cook $ pole and presenting Cook $ pole to Taft and every body else that Wouldn [ have 1t. No sooner does he get back than he begins to denounce Cook as d fraud and q liar, and Mrs. Peary opens ID on f'rancke as q black maaler This whole assault of the Peary family and their friends upon Cook, who has con d,l"ted himself as q modest gen tlcman throughout, evidently 1t of envy. Iy PearH keeps 1t comes from bitter disappoint- meilt and lean and hungry spir- 1t of envy Ii Peary keeps it ID and does not promptly submit ln- contrcvertible proofs of his sin ister charges, the sympathy of the world will turn to Cook and Le will be acclaimed the worthy II .o of tho great adventure Memphis Gommereial-Appeal

Edward II. Hartman. who con trolled more miles of railroad than any other man i'll the world, succumbed to the inevitable and died on Thursday of last week at his country home near Arden, N. Y. Besides his railroad hold ings he was interested in many other corporations In the last Journey which Ms. Hartman took there was no splendid special train at his disposal. and all his immense wealth could do nothing to make the journey more pleasant He had To tray- el the same route. and III the same manner as the humblest section hand on any of his great roads The death of Mr Harfi- man serves to call 10 mind how utterly insignificant is man He was q power in the financial circles of the world, was courted as friend and feared as an en- emmy. but notwithstanding all these things his death scarcely created a ripple in financial cir cles. The old world wags along just the same, and the trains on the roads which Hartman con trolled run just the same as they did before his death.

hit the nail on the head when he
laughingIy remarked the other day that
the Democrats can always be relied
upon to be frec-traders for everything
in the next county" That's it exactly.
And il simply goes to show that the
tariff is not a fait subject OF division
rs between the Democratic and Repub-
lcan parties. Il is a purely economic
question that can never be finally, or
even fairly, handled as a political issue.
The ultimate treatment OF the tariff
problem will likely be left To local RAJ
Their than National or sectional pre-
ference In fact. sectional and geo
graphical objections To protection as
policy are fast disappearing, in view
OF the general spread OF industrial de
velopment. As matter OF fact. the
country in general is committed TO
protection The question is what IS 10
be protected and To what extent. In
the final solution consumers and pro-
duccrs will not line up against each
other. bit will rather seek basis Of
adjustment that will promise general
well being and not the promotion Of

A USELESS COMMISSION

ers and farmers Some ui them are

OF the shop keeper, or the lawyer, or
the doctor, or the manufacturer. All
OF our lives are capable OF improve
ment, without doubt, but why do the
farmers lives call Tor the Government S
especial Solicitudc. We are inclined
to think that the percentage OF intel
ligencc and thrift III farming com
munitics is rather higher than in most
others and rs Tor hapE:lcSs, does the
Government imagine that the dcnizcns
