Committee Refused Peary Proofs.

Washington. Commander Peary
Monday declined to submit to Con-
gress the proofs of his discovery OF
the North pole. He sent to the sub
committee of the House committee on
naval affairs the following statement:
Commander Peary and his friends
say that contracts signed months ago
with his publishers render it impos-
sible to make his records and scien.
tific data public now. 1t would not
only subject Peary to heavy damages
"a loss which he cannot meet, hav-
ing Just extricated him from debt in
CURED in connection with his various
expeditions-but 1t would be breaking
faith with his publishers, which he is
unwilling to do under any circum-
stances"
After hearing statements by Repre-
sentatives Hobson of Alabama and
Moore of Pennsylvania, urging a con-
gressional reward to Peary irrespec-
tive of the question Of his proofs, the
committee adjourned for the day
without taking action.
OF the committee of seven members

granting recognition to Commander
Peary unless the proofs of his discov-
cry Of the pole are submitted to Con-
gress and made public. These are

Sunday Concerts.

The resumption OF the band concerts
on the Speedway as an important func-
ton Of society folk, calls attention 10 the
proposition made recently in these col
umns in favor Of public concerts on sun
day at some suitable and accessible point
in Rock Creek Park. There are num-
Der of localities which are admirably
adapted for this purpose. Nearly every
city with any pretense Of Sunday enter
tainment for the community on a re-
spectacle and refining scale provides these
Sunday concerts at time when they do
not interfere with church-going, and so
encourage people TO get out into the air
and at the same time Eive them an op-
portunity 70 hear good music Rock
Creek Park is becoming more and more
par0nized by families. The educational
influence Of the Zoo and the physical
benefits Of a walk over the innumerable
paths are so pronounced that no
one may properly object 10 that en-
ployment Of time on the Sabbath. Il is
a form Of diversion which is a contribu-
ton to health and morals. and provides
a stock Of conteutment which helps
people in the weekday grind.
In the provision which is made for
the entertainment Of those to whom the
Speedway concerts seem TO be an oppor-
tunity for association. there should be
supplemental provision for the benefit ~
others who may not attend that event.
Washington has been sadly lacking in
the Sunday afternoon concert, and IS
some years behind such cities as Boston,
New York, Philadelphia. and Baltimore,
TO mention no others, I'm establishing a
form Of entertainment which is dignifed
and which has none OF the elements cal
culated to shock the sensiblities Of those
who believe in the protection Of the day
There is, assuredly. no more harm in
a good concert rendered under the trees
Of a public park on a Sunday after
noon than in looking at Gagged animals or
in tramping over the hills.
The Sunday afternoon concerts in
Rock Creek Park should be inaugurated
this summer as a boon 70 the com
munity.

the natural order Of things.
Few men in public life have been as
drigent as the Rhode Island statesman.
He is a student and worker II he
knows the tariff. it Is because he made
il his business TO analyze schedules and
thus inform himself; IL he is an authority

success in unusual measure has attended

he never went into contest unprepared.
One could not fail TO appraise Aldrich
highly without putting low appraise-
ment upon the Senate as body, and no
sensible observer ever does that
The Rhode Islanders point Of view Is

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Revolutionary War Begins and Ends-April 49,

April 70 Is one Of the most memorable
days in the history of our country. It is
the day on which occurred the battle Of
Lexington and Concord in 100, and it is
the date on which the cessation Of hos
tllites was declared, Just eight years
from the commencement Of the war. in
1855.
Maj. Pitcairn reached Lexington on the
morning Of April 10 about sunrise, Wnore
he found himself confronted by the min
utemen under Capt John Parker. With
an oath he called upon them to disporse.
but they stood as motionless as wall,
and he ordered his men TO fire. The SOL
diers hesitated, and Pitcairn discharged
his own pistol. and thus fred the irsl
shot Of the war Of the Revolution. Again
he ordered his men TO FIRE They now
did so. and the volley laid seven Of the
patriots dead and ten wounded upon the
village green. Parker was greatly out
numbered, and after making a feeble re-
sistance ordered his men TO retire. But
the days business was only begun. The
British troops fastened on to Concord
Here the result was reversed, for in the
meantime the whole country had become
aroused. In every direction patriots
swarmed to the scene. and the British
seeing themselves greatly outnumbered
tried to retreat in order, but It became
a rout, and each attempt TO halt and
form into line was thwarted by the deadly
hail OF patriot bullets from every side
The rout finally became a race with
death. The British loss in the first battle
of the Revolution was 27S and the Ameri-
can loss 90.
Parker's order TO his men has become
memorable, Don't fire unless you are
fred on; but If they want war, it may as
well begin here"

Cotton Manufacture in the South.

In discussing editorially a few days
since The Awakened South" The Wash
ington Herald stated. quite inadvertently.
that more than so per cent OF the cotton
grown In the South IS now manufactured
In the South" What The Herald intend
ed 10 say was that more than 80 per cent
OF the cotton manufactured in this coun-
try is now manufactured in the South.
AS IS well known, a large part OF the
cotton crop goes abroad.
This is truly remarkable, when one re-
calls the fact that practically no cotton
was manufactured in the South twenty
years ago. II emphasizes The Herald's
further prediction that within another
twenty years. approximately all OF the
cotton manufactured in this country will
be manufactured in Dixie And. ulti-
mately. why should not all OF the cotton
grown in the South be manufactured
there?
In cotton, the South enjoys the greatest
natural monopoly ever known 70 man.
The cotton grown abroad is not com
parable with the cotton Of the South. II
serves a useful purpose as far as 1t goes.
but it never has been, and never will be.
used as a satisfactory substitute for the

featured state, then, why-but the south's

While both England and America have
plenty OF economic ills, in one respect at
least England has the distinct advantage
Of us in being able to lay the blame for
them on free trade. This we cannot do.
In another respect. however. we have
the advantage Of England in our pos
sessing a protective tariff for blame
laying purposes. a luxury Of which she
cannot boast
Furthermore, we are wise enough to
impress upon her our superiority by SELL

to ourselves. This must be very humili-

Percy or Vardaman2

Senator Leroy Percy was right in de-
Gliding that his seat in the United States
Senate is not worth the holding if it
must be held by virtue Of a title 10
which the slightest suggestion OF faint
attaches. Following recent charges and
pounter-charges before the legislature OF
Mississippi. Mr. Percy has called for a
primary, TO which he will appeal for
vindication of himself and ratification of
the authority bestowing his toga upon
him.
Whether or not It be true that Mr.
Percy has been designedly forced into
this attitude by Vardaman supporters
matters little at this stage Of the game.
His courage in picking up Immediately
the gauntlet thrown down and his quick
determination 20 submit his case TO the
people on its merits both inevitably tend
10 give one confidence in the righteous
ness Of his political status and his un-
stained personal integrity
Now is as good a time as any-and
perhaps a trine better-for Mississippi to
let the nation know what disposition II
proposes to make Of Vardaman. once Mis-
sissippi had to choose between Mr.. varda-
man and Air John Sharp Wilnams-and
It chose Williams, much TO its everlast-
ing credit Apparently however. the
margin Of its recorded opinion wasIoo
narrow 70 be entirely satisfactory; at
least. II was too narrow 10 carry convic-
ton to Mr.. vardaman's political under
standing. Hence he will argue the matter
again-and this time with Mr.. Percy.
The entire Democratic party will be
interested IN this trial cf strength. we
think. The future Of the Democracy is
unusually bright just now. and it seems
likely the party may control the next
House Of Representatives. and. maybe.
win The next Presidency-provided.
The truth may as we'll be faced IN this
matter. The Democratic party is not
going 70 win anything worth havin~-
now or ever-by encouraging, or even
countencncing. such men as Mr.. Varda-
man. Mr. "Jen" Davis, ct al. Il has
everything 20 lose and nothing 20 gain
through afilation with them. II Mis-
slssippi rejects Mr.. Percy I'm favor OF
Mr.. Vardaman in the forthcoming prl-
mary. just TO that extent will the nation
be placed on notice that the Democracy
IS not yet through consorting with
mountebanks. near statesmen, and dema-
gogues. That Is the plain. unvarnished
truth Of the situation. Mr.. Percy Is ac-
cepted as representative Of a conserva-
tive. progressive. safe Democracy: Mr..
Vardaman has existed so far on his abiI-
ity 70 array white against black IN his
State. backed up by an occasional on
slaught on the railroads and the corpo-
rate interests
In the present Democratic crisis ma
tionally, it is well, perhaps. that the
Democracy Of Mississippi be called upon
