Will SEEK

CAPTAIN BARTLETT and HARRY
WHITNEY HOPE TO DUPLj-
CATE PEARY'S FEAT
Will START NEXT .|fALL

New York, Dec. 12.-"I have nailed
the Stars and Stripes to the NORA
Pole" with those words Pearly thrilled
the world somewhat over a year ago
Now two other Americans come for
ward with the statement: We will nal
the Stars and Stripes to the South
Pole.'"
This is the first announcement
made through the New York Times,
that an American expedition, headed
by Captain Robert A. Bartlett and
Harry Whitney, will set out for tAe
Antarctic regions in a race against
the Scott-English expedition, which
has already started.
From men such as these two are,
the words are no empty neglible boast
They know the frozen polar regions
as well as any two alive, excepting
Peary himself. One of them has
himself been within five days march
of the North Pole; for the past de-
cade or SO he has been almost con-
stantly in the regions where ice and
snow never melt.
Both Experienced Men.
The other, born to wealth amply
sufficient to buy for him every lux
ury, has preferred over and over again
to swathe himself in furs and plunge
into the freezing arctic night, at the
sacrifice of every comfort and the
imminent risk of death.

call him by real name of Robert K.
Bart1ett-commande Pearys ship.

including the one when the indefita-
bic explorer finally reached his far
northern goal.
Harry Whitney, the rich New Haven
sportsman, leaped suddenly into the
Inow glaring limelight last fall, as the
supposed guardian of DR.. Cooks cele-
ibrated records"
The American expedition for the
discovery of the South Pole will sail
from it's native country early next fall
Its financing will be by private indi
vidua1s.
Only the other day Whitney and
Bartlett got back from a hunting trir
to the polar regions, which took Ut
all last summer. That was the Raniey
Whitney expedition, on which Whitne,
was associated with Paul J. Rainey
another rich man who heeds the cal
of the land of ice. Captain Bob
was skipper of the Boethic, on which
the two made their trip.
Impatient For The Start.
Whitney and Bartlett have long re
volved in their minds the scheme o
trying to conquer the South Pole fo
the greater glory of the Stars an
Stripes. They have read all there i
to read about explorations in the Ant

down to those of Captain Scott an

powers. The great bodybuilding race

ditioLs That such a belief is preva

from letter written by prominent

largest cities of the state:
Il know from nv own experience,
that when coming to Mississippi ten
years ago to locate | was made to be-
ljeve that | was coming to state OF

toes and malaria -
Another gentleman of this state
writes to the same eject:
Il have travel-I all over Illinois,
Mi souri, and Kansas. this summer,
and have seized every opportunity to
praise Mississippi and to urge its ad-
vantages as a home for agricultural
lists. In reply everywhere people say
that mississippi is too unhealthful

tiers you have land for. -
The association realizes that such
false impressions stand directly IN the
way of securing immigration, and that
snch Impressions must be removed
The state has never kept any vital
statistics, nor have more than few
of the cities and towns, hence, at pres
ent there are no reliable figures with
which to refute such statements or to
substantiate the claim that among the
white people of all sections of the
state the health conditions and mortali
~ will compare most favorably with
those of any section of the country.
The Mississippi Land and Develop.
ment Association, in order to secure
accurate statistics. will ask for the
co. operation of health officers in each
city and county of the state, all of
whom are appointed by law, and it is
intended to ask boards of supervisors
and city councils to make the keeping
of vital statistics one of their duties.
It is believed that in this way the
necessary information can be obtained,
and that thereby the health conditions
of the state may be shown in most
favorable manner.

Let us hope the transient bitterness it
occasioned will pass also.
Legally, Mr.. Wickresham holds, Vir-
ginia is within her rights in selecting
General Lee as one of her two repre-
sentatives, SINCE the enabling statue
specified nothing whatever in the way
of restrictions.
But il is on the ethical side that bis
views gauge the matter from new
viewpoint that must appeal to the ap
proval as we'll as the patriotism of
the people alike of north and south.
Iii it was the genius and devotion of
Lee that shed most luster upon Confed
crate arms and that was the foremost
factor in keeping the Stars and Bars
flying in the face OF overwhelming
odds, it was likewise the beautiful
resignation of Lee that pointed an ex-
ample by word and deed. to north
and so1th when Appomattox wrote its
fatefui meaning and ne retired to an
all too brief career of constructive USE
fulness.
That is the solid foundation upon
which Attorney General Wickersham
rears his unusual ethical argument.
That the county as o whole should
cheerfUllg agree TO the placing of q
memorial to the Confederate chisftain
in the hall of its national capitol is,
he says. final evidence both of forgive
ness and of reconciliation; that Vir-
g!nia should wish to place snch me.
