The determination to investigate the
charges against Secretary of the In
terror Ballinger is what ought to have
been set on foot some time ago. If
the difficulty between Ballinger and
Pinchot is merely personal tilt the
country has a right to know it. If,
on the other hand, the Secretary of
the Interior has been guilty of con
duct to say the least questionable this
also ought to be known. In these days
of newspaper activity publicity is a
great factor in driving fraud and graft
from under cover. Let the light be
turned on every questionable trans.
action no matter whom it strikes. The
public service will be materially i'm
proved when it becomes known that
not only search-light is to be turn
ed On but that probe is to be utilized
also. Publicity IS the greatest enemy

The data submitted by DR.. Cook to
the University of Copenhagen to sub.
stantiate his claims as the discoverer
of the north pole has been pronounced
insufficient and at present DR.. Cook
seems to be discredited. The Inter.
Ocean has no doubt but what Cook
did just what he claims to have done
but the great trouble with Cook was
that lie did not think that he would
be pursued by most desperate gang
when he returned home and evidently
labored under the impression that any
reasonable presentation of his claims
would be accepted. For this reason
he failed to make the necessary en-.
tries upon his diary during the long
wearisome journey A thousand little
details absolutely essential to sustain
his claims in view of the fierce opposi
ton waged against him could easily
have been overlooked in the eagerness
and exposure Of that memorable jour
ney to the apex of the earth. The fac
that he was willing to submit his
proofs, imperfect as they may have
been, to the learned men of the grea1
University of Copenhagen, indicates
to us that he believes thoroughly in
the success of his venture. That the
poor fellow is not in an insane asylum
/: is surprising after the ordeal through
viii b he has been called to pass. We
believe that if health is spared hin

An employees pension system, to
take care of superannuated or in
capacitated employees, which was
inaugurated January l., by the Rock
Island & Pacific railroad, bids fair to
be a milestone in pensioning of en-
ployes According to notice sent out
by President H. U. Nudge, the COM
pany hopes Ito build up a feeling of
permanency in. employment, an en-
larged interest in the company's well
fare and q desire to remain in and
devote their best efforts to the COM
pany's service" The expensetfof the
pension department, including the
money for the payment Of pensions,
will be paid out of the general revenu-
es of the company and charged to
operating expenses. The department
will be administered by a board of
five persons, appointed by the railroad
and subject to the president. Every
employe who shall devote all his time
to the service of the road, comes with
in the provisions of the pension sys-
tenn. In brief, the system provides.
That all officers and employees shall
be retired on pension when they at
tain the age Of seventy years; that
locomotive engineers and firemen, con-
ductors, fagmen and brakemen, train
baggagemen, yard masters, switchmen,
roadmatsers, bridge foremen and sec
ton foremen may be retired when
they are sixty-five years old; that
every one so retired who has been
twenty years in the service Of the
road shall be pensioned; that officers
and employees who have been twenty
five years or more in the service and
who have become permanently lin
capacitated, may be retired and pen
stoned, regardless of age The pen
/ sion will be computed on the basis of
one per cent for each year of the
average regular monthly pay for: the
last ten years of employment An EN-
ploye in the service for 40 years,
whose average monthly salary for the
last ten years amounted to SIS, will be
paid 40 per cent of s75 per month, Of
1870. The lowest pension shall be $40
Iper month and the highest $3.50.
