FOR THE SOUTH POLE.

Peary has proved his sincerity in
the quest for extreme latItudes. by
turning over the complimentary award
OF $4,000 made to him by the Civic
Forum and a number of other citizens
to form the nucleus for a fund for an
American expedition to reach the
South Pole. Had he not been sincerely
devoted to the cause of exploration he
would have kept the money and rested
upon the laurels already won.
There will be a scramble for the
South Pole, IL reports are correct. The
National Geographical Society is con-
sldering proposition to unite with
the Peary club for the promotion OF an
Antarctic expedition. The club pro-

REFERENDUM FER ON SALOONS.
Boston Herald.

That moro than seventy-four thou
sand voters OF Chicago have petitioned
for referendum on local option as q
method OF dealing with the saloon at
the April election In that mixed racial
religious and social center, IS surpris-
ing, in view of the city's past SEEM
ing devotion to a philosophy OF life far
removed from Puritanlsm. But such
is the fact, and 1t shows that there, as
elsewhere in the Middle West and
South, sentiment hostile to the retail
liquor trade as ordinarily conducted is
rising and will not down. II this To-
cal option measure recognizes ward
option, then some sections OF the city
that, when autonomous, excluded tho
saloon are likely now to vote for ex-
clusion: but that the city as a whole
will vote "No-license" is not at all
probable.

Are some of the officials of the 90

inborlng under strange Illusions? AT

made ready for the presentation of
this extraordinary drama Mr.. John
Mason, who is playing the leading
role, is known to be one of the best
artists in the acting world of today,
and it is a rare treat for the people
of Bryan TO see him tonight at the
Colonial. Bryan has long needed an
amusement house such as the Col

extra pains to secure attractions that
will please.
The advance sale of tickets today
was large and includes several the

of the season is expected by the man

said: Each year every local paper
gives from s1Ou to $4,000 in free lines
for the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other agency
can or will do this. The local editor,
in proportion to his means, does more
for his town than any other ten men,
and in fairness, man with man, ne
ought to be supported, not because
