Liquor Men In Politics.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Apropcs OF the many recent charges as
to the '1iquor interests" controlling, or
endeavoring to control, politics in
Nebraska, the following from a recent
editorial in Henry Watterson's Louis
vile Courier-Journal may prove of in
terest
THE statement of Mr.. Bryan that
the liquor interests are engaged in
an organized attempt to secure political
control of the State falls TO the ground
when we reflect that the liquor inter-
ests have no concern or concert of ac-
ton in politics except that which re-
lates to their own business; that
they go their ways like other men
upon general issues, and that If they
got political possession of the State
they would not know what to do with
1T after they had secured themselves
against confiscation."
The above is just as true in New Jer-
sey as it Is in Nebraska. Stop threat
ening the business of the law-abiding
liquor man; stop forcing him into poll
tics in defense of his living by agitat-
ing local option" and prohibition"
and see how very soon the liquor men
as a class would drop politics. Believe
their own business than bother with
politics, If only they were permitted
to do so. w. L. G.

Inv for BalIoonists.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The fall TO death of a young Newark
aviator at Asbury Park yesterday from
height of 5000 feet was witnessed by
thousands of men, women and children
and must have been horrifying sight.
We have laws in this country to punish
persons who attempt to commit suicide,
to prohibit prize-fights, and cranks are
bowling for legal prohibition of moving
picture exhibitions of the Johnson
Jeffries fight though men and women
who have seen the pictures in New
York and coney Island say they are
clly shadows and-there is nothing
harmful in them.
Why should not the aviator cranks be
prevented by law from risking their
lives in the sight of thousands of men,
women and children? A Spanish bull
fight would not be tolerated in this
country because man is occasionally
gored TO death by the bull he has liz
furiated to kill it, but thousands who
saw one young aeronaut mangled by a
fall Thursday witnessed the fall to
death of the Newark boy yesterday
The youngster got IS for making the
ascent and paid the penalty Of his fool
hardness with his life. / read this
morning that John Mack, manager of
the balloon and the trapeze acts high
In the air, called himself murderer
for letting the young man go up on the
trapeze What are the men who man
age these aviation exhibitions and en-
courage men to risk their lives for
money and applause? The police will
arrest persons who they are told in
tend to commit suicide, Why don't
they keep boys from going up in bal
loon flights? w. II. q.

warming in Accident.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The deplorable accident at Asbury
Park yesterday in which young man
lost his life while attempting to perform
trick with which he was not familiar
is but another proof that exhibitions of
this kind should be regulated by the
authorities and persons who are not
expert In such things should not be
permitted to risk life and limb merely
to provide a form of questionable
amusement.
The accident of yesterday is but one
of several Of a similar nature that have
marked the efforts of balioonists in this
section to perform stunts that do not
advance the cause Of science or accom-
plish any other praiseworthy purpose.
Unless a person is qualified both by
experience and knowledge of the sub
ject to attempt the feats that seem TO
be the leading feature of balloon as
tensions there should be determined
effort to prevent noviees from entering
such exhibitions.
The fact, as reported in the papers,
that the young man was to receive only
S. for his effort does not mitigate the
circumstances. SANITY IN SPORT.

The situation arising from the coinci-

a local manufacturing company and a
large sum of money week ago was
made intensely dramatic by the dis
covery yesterday of two-thirds of the
money. This money was found by the
wife of the missing man in pocket OF
one of his old coats which was hanging
in a closet at home. Investigation had
failed to turn up anything unworthy
in the character and habits of the
cashier and the discovery of the money
was accepted by his employers as final
and positive proof of his innocence.

good reputation, the result is always

had read in the papers how Peary
discovered the north pole, so thought
/ would try to ge there. 1t was hard
to find sailors. but after hard work
managed to secure some. When every
thing was ready we sailed from one of
the docks in San Francisco. and up the
coast to Alaska. Here we stopped to
get some extra provisions and other
articles.
A few days later we were on our
journey again. It kept getting colder
on thick furs. We kept on sailing
northward and at last the ship got
locked in the ice; so, in order to reach
the north pole. we had to use sleds
the rest of the way. We had the
sleds on the ship but not the dogs.
Therefore. we looked around for some
Eskimo huts or igloos. They are made
of big blocks OF ice and snow. There is
a long, low passageway through which
you must crawl on your hands and
knees to get into the house. Inside
there is large lamp, which Is used for
both cooking and heating. This lamp
burns oil from seals and fsh. A hole
is cut in the top of the hut to let
out the smoke. The Eskimos are very
dirty and wear furs from the seal,
polar bear and other animals. How
ever, from these people we secured
dogs and started once more.
We travelled for days. but could see
nothing but snow and ice. Finally, one
day as l was looking up in the sky,
/ noticed we were directly under the
north star, and that meant we had
found the pole. We planted the Amer
lean flag at this point and in a few days
started for home.
on our way we met two big bears,
which we shot. and saved the skins.
When We reached the ship we found
II had gotten out of the ice, so we
soon started sOuthward and landed in
San Francisco safely and In due time.

A DREADFUL EXPERIENCE
DORNIN ROBERTS,
Modesto, Cal. Modesto Grammar school,,
Seventh Grade. Age, IA Years


We were all ready to start out for
Greenland. Every one of the Eskimos.
SO In number, were on hand. The
dogs were barking. every body was ex-
cited and there was general jabber-
ing. The Danish people were on the
banks watching our movements.
'All aboard" sang out the captain,
and at last we were on our way.
When we reached Greenland we
dropped anchor for three days because
we had to get more provisions and
fur clothing. Finally we started out
again and all went well for a few
weeks.
Great whales were seen and here and
there were large icebergs. 1t was
getting quite cold and we had to put
on more clothing. We were out OF
sight of land and nothing was to be
seen but numerous icebergs and a few
polar bears For the next five or six
days it was slow travelling, as we were
passing the icebergs. We could go no
farther. so we unloaded the provisions
needed. let the dogs out. hauled down
the sleds and then left the ship.
The next day we hitched the dogs
and took five Eslzimos with us. 1t
was fine riding over the ice. We trav-
eled all that day, but we could find
no game We started back, only to
find we were lost. We kept on until
disheartened. One OF the Eskimos had
killed himself and we only had one
box Of provisions left
At last l plucked up enough courage
and started out again in search OF the
ship. About seven hours later we
found it. but the Eskimos we had left
in charge were gone and all the food
too. We always believed that they
were killed and the food taken.
i got the dogs and the other articles
on board the ship, and with my four
men started back TO Greenland When
our provisions gave out we had TO kill
one OF the dogs and we nearly went
Wild when we saw land.
We came into the harbor and every
one greeted us and asked me TO tell
them about my adventures / asked
them to give me time, as l was lucky
to have saved my life. not mentioning
