Wants Peary's Proofs.

There is an awful scrap on Just now
over the proofs of Peary's trip to the
North Pole. There have been a half
dozen bills introduced in Congress. all
having for their purpose the recogni-
tion in some way of Peary's discovery.
but none have been passed. The House
Committee on Naval Affairs positively
refuses to advance Peary to the rank
and grade of Eear-Admiral with ade-
quate pay, because it considers that
this would be rank injustice to the
men who have served 20, 80 and 40
years in the Navy and have received no
recognition at all. They say that Peary
was acting on his own responsibility,
was never under orders from the Navy,
and that what he has done has in no
way added to his knowledge of naval
affairs.
But this is not the worst of it. Repre-
sentative Macon, who is one of the Ma
val Affairs Committee, says that there
is very serious doubt in his mind as to
whether Peary ever got there at all.
He says his story is very much more in
credible in it's details than the story
Cook told He says a great many Arc
tic explorers of the world have de-
clared that to make above 10 miles a
day in Arctic regions would tax the
strength and endurance to the limit.
and yet Mr.. Peary records that he went
20 or 80 miles day. Mr.. Macon saws
that he wants the Peary proofs submit
ted to Congress, and that they must be
submitted before Congress will turn its
hand over for Mr.. Pearys assistance
either one way or another.
The National Geographic Society is
the only so-called scientific society that
has up to now had sight of the Peary
records, and 1t expresses itself very
much surprised that Congress insists
upon having these records. DIR. Sam
ueI S. Gannett, of the Geological Sur
vey. saya that he is very much sur
prised that the Naval Committee in the
House should demand Peary's proofs
as they wouldn't know what to do with
them after they got them. Dr. Ganncti
then proceeds to explain that Civil En-
gineer Peary has practically bankrupt
ed himself in his various expeditions tc
the pole, altho he has been getting from
$4,000 to $1,000 year from the Gov
ernment right straight along, simply
| for permitting his name to remain or
the list Of Civil Engineers, aitho he
has not done any work for tiie Navy
for the past Is years. and that it is
necessary for him to recoup himself ii
some way, and the only way he has oi
doing this is by lecturing and printing
his North Pole experiences in a book
He has already sold his stories and his
book, and it would be bad faith to his
publisher to place the material before
the Congressional Committee, as II
would print the records as q public
document.

No Army, No Navy.

I'VE have no Army said Col. N G.
Simmons. formerly Of the United States
Army. That is certainly a very strong
criticism. but Col Simmons makes it
even worse. He adds:
We have positively no system of de-
Tense. All of the great foreign powers
exist simply and solely on their ability
to mobilize great armies of 1000 or
100000 men in a week; that is the pat
ent OF their existence. 1t is incontro-
Vertibly true that We could not mobilize
such an army in a whole year. Popu-
lar anG constitutional inhibitiops will
forever prevent the maintenance by
this country of a large standing army,
and none is necessary.
Even the most military of Nations"
continued Col. Simmons, does not
maintain the enormous force that it
can move in a week: the. simple poten-
tiality of moving such g force keeps the
worlds peace; but the powers have ad-
mirable systems for utilizing the re-
source of their population, and we have
not the glimmer Of such a system. We
utterly fail to discriminate between re-
source and power.
What could happen in year once
Germany or Japan or England had es-
tablished bases ON our shores is appal-
ling, and impossible of simple conjec-
ture. In the East Germafiy could forti-
fy and defend New York almost beyond
hope of recovery. recapture Washing
ton, Philadelphia, and the coast de-
fenses would certainly fall. leaving the
Navy without a base and helpless.

pier. once lodged there, the dislodg-
ment of the Japanese would be as abb
strusc military problem as ever con-
fronted the mind of a genius with a
xerxesian host at his command. We
have a respectable Navy, but the task
of policing a territorial grand division,
maintaining an arbitrary policy against
the world. giving timbre to the pre-
dominant voice of the East and preserv-
ing our National integrity is a fairly
large one for so small weapon"

It will be remerabsredthat Mr. Peary
had been. presented $4,000 while in
New York, but that very evening, with
out having cashed the check, he turned
| it over to the Antarctic, Exploring So
ciety for their particular benefit. The
| Committee on Naval Affairs in the
House believes that as Mr.. Peary was
using Government money ana Govern
ment time the expenses he had should
| be put to the Government account rath-
er than in Mr.. Peary's private pocket
book.
While very few people have ever de-
MED a belief in Peary's reaching the
pole. there are mighty few people that
don't have a crouch against him for
the nasty way in which he acted when
he came back. He called DR.. Cook a
gold brick and acted altogether in so
ungentlemanly Il way, made so many
caustic criticisms OF all other explorers,
was so ungenerous in his treatment of
Dr. Cook in not bringing his things
down with him and all that sort of
thing that 1t made the people instinc-
lively turn to the little Doctor. who was
at least a gentleman and who never
once was betrayed into saying unkind
and ungenerous things. Mr.. Peary by
his own confession wanted to hog the
whole thing" as he would not permit
even his devoted Capt. Bartlett TO fin
ish the trip with him, but owned up
that he desired to be the only white
man to reach the pole, and go stopped
Capt. Bartlett a day or two before the
pole was reached, and took with him
only Mat Henson, the negro And now
Henson is furious with Peary, says he
is selfish to the hearts core, ana wants
10 hog all the honors." Henson wants
it remembered that he got there, too,
and says that Peary says forget it."
Then, the abominable way in which
Peary mutilated the Flag for the pur-
pose of exploiting his egotism has turn
ed all the patriotic and loyal people of
the country against him. The idea of
shipping pieces out of the Flag and
strewing them along the ice fields of
the North makes a fellow wonder what
sort of an American citizen he may be,
anyhow. As matter of fact. the whole
Pealy business leaves a bad taste in
ones mouth, and while we none of us
think of denying to him the honor of in
part discovering the North Pole, we are
all the time wishing he hadn't, because
he has been so beastly mean about the
whole business. One thing is sure, the
Committee on Naval Affairs is not go
ing to recognize Mr.. Peary in any way,
shape or form. They think that the
glory of his possible discovery is
dimmed and clouded by his personal
actions.

There should be some great plan
drawn up for the construction of roads
In the United States under a single har-
monious system. The roads of Ala
bama should ht into those of the ad-
3oining States in every direction"
Mr. Payne, Of New York, the Repub-

plan to build roads all over the United
stetes was comparable only to the Ala

He said it would bankrupt the United

COOKING VEGETABLES

With such a wealth OF vegetables
as the season affords what housekeep-
er with any initiative does not like to
experiment? 1t is not advisable to
train our families to eat vegetables
always cooked in the same way, SO
that when Susie goes to visit Aunt
Jennie in town she cannot eat seal
loped potatoes because mamma al
ways mashes them," and the gooo
husband when he is away from nome
cannot enjoy a baked STUFFED onion
because at home he has been taught
to eat them boiled. Sometimes, OF
course, it happens that papa" and
Susie like the foreign better than the
home method of cooking and wonder
why mother always prepares things
in the same way. When the odor OF
onions is waited on the air, such
family, scenting them from afar, never
wonder whether they are going to be
baked, fried or scalloped, for they
know they will be Just boiled" Two

hold affairs and they are trying to
see how many different and practical
ways they can find to cook the vari-
Gus articles in their larder, and they
are finding cooking an interesting and
pleasant task. If you try vegetables
one month and learn all you can about
them, how to cook them, and what
vegetables are best for certain condi-
tions, ETC., it will be not only an inter-
esting study but one well worth while
Many families pay altogether too
much attention to eating, their idea
of food being simply to please the
palate. The housekeeper seems con-
tent to cook anything that is filling,
regardless of the value of the food as
a nourishment for the body.
