rHE Nol1trH POLE. AGAIN.

commander Peary's leave of absence
has expiredsand he has been ordered to
ro 't 4" to q post of duty. He has had
q long vacation, extending over period
OF five years. Some Of his friends, 1t
is reported, thought that the Navy De-
partment would not insist upon his re-
turn to active duty. but that he would
be given all the time he wished to pre-
pare his record OF his dash to the
pole" (laughter) and to deliver lee
lures throughout the country. But In
his, leisure moments, and II he is like
the other officers in the Navy Depart
ment, he will have good many
leisure moments from time to
time, in which he Will be able
to prepare his records and par
ticularly with the assistance of the
fine report Of DR.. Cook, giving an ac-
count Of the real dash to the pole.
Now comes a New Naval History, a
Complete, View OF the British Marine,''
first published in 1857, and now digged
up by some Old .bookworm, in which
this statement occurs:
In the year u 800 1t Is recorded that "a
friar of oxford called Nicholas de
Lima, OF Lynn, being good astrono-
mer, went, in company with others, to
the most northern island, and thence
Travelled alone, and that he went to the
North Pole, by means of his skill in
magic or the black art; but this magic
or black art may probably have been
nothing more than a knowledge OF the
magnetic needle or5compass, found oft
about sixty years before, though not
In common use until many years after
So 1t appears, after all, that the honor
Of standing at the top OF the continent
really belongs to a Catholic friar, who
beat both DR.. Cook and Commander
Peary to the North Pole by something
like 54S years. After ALL we do not
appear to be the most adventuresome
people that the world has known, but
the only original discoverer of the Pole
in modern times, at least SO far as we
have any means of knowing. is DR..
Frederick a. Cook, of Calicoon Depot,
New York State. Probably Commander
Peary might borrow the old British
book and get some suggestions out of
lit as to the best way ofreaching the
Pole

! The price OF coffee has risen d per
cent. during the last twosyears.
5 In 1905 the worlds production OF this
fragrant bean was so great that its
price fellito 3sas cents the pound. It ID
now II cents the pound. The leap up
ward which this necessity of life to
many people has made Is indeed i'm
portant. VI
THIS increase in the price OF coftee
is due not to the action OF individuals
but to the power OF a single govern
iment. q
Sac Paulo,a State In Brazil, produces
aboutsas much coffee as the South does
OF cotton When coffee dropped to
.s1s cents in 1906. the situation IN sac
Paulo was about like that in the South
when cotton sold at cents.
The situation was desperate, Indi.
sviduals could do nothing. The state
felt that 1t must intervene to protect
the commercial integrity OF its citizens.
It did so. For four years the State
has been backing and boosting the cof-
fee industry with all: Its might. 1t
has been very successful in It's efforts.
The government Of Sac Paulo bought
up coffee at q nigh price. In effect, 1t
prohibited its sale at a lower price to
others by Imposing tax on such sales.
II placed also a heavy tax on the plant
ing of coffee trees.

Johp Edward Maxwell, of Norfolk,
has taken what they call in North Carr
olina the "britches holt" on the Col
onei. Noting the fact, as reported,
that +. w. Whitridgc, receiver of the
Third Avenue Railroad Company, has
written an open letter urging the vot-
#ers Of Westchester county to vote for
the Colonel's candidate for Governor OF
New York, Mr.. Maxwell says In com

ment OF strength possessed by Colonel
Roosevelt wllicl, perhaps has not been

seems that the receivers are going to
vote for his nominee, and It perhaps
must be inferred that those who hope
to be made receivers also will vote for
one whoSis expected to carry out his
policies.
Now II all the receivers appointed

a LIEF For a LIFE.

on Tuesday morning, last week, at
half-past 10 o'clock, the trial OF DR..
Crippen began. at half-past.s2 o'clock
on Saturday the evidence was all In,
the trial closed, the verdict Of the jury
rendered, the sentence OF the court pro-
nounced. In four days one Of the most
important criminal cases, involving
many interesting questions, had been
disposed of, and we are told now that
the hangman Will have the gallows
ready for the execution Of crippen on
the 9Th OF November.
In hearing this case the court proved
the splendid superiority OF English
methods in the disposition OF criminal
prosecutions over those that are fol-
lowed in the United States. The court
did not permit any fooling with the
course OF justice. All subtleties We're
pushed aside, the experts were con-
founded, and justice Will be done.
IL Crippen had been tried In the
convicted. That he should be con-
vIcted and hanged, there does not ap-
pear to be the least doubt in any hon-
est mind. They do great many things
lin England far bet tier. than we do them
in this country. The Old Moralities
which require an eye for an eye. a
tooth for q tooth, a life for life, is
far better, II crime is to be punished
and justice is to be dealt out with
an impartial hand, than the delays of
the law in our own much Wanted
country.
