THE PEARY SYSTEM OF POLAR
WORK

In the June Hampton's Peary gets
down to the meat of his story of his
Discovery of the North Pole," and
in the course of the article makes plain
to the reader why his W expedition
was successful, and why no other ex
lpedition, especially a "sorting party
could hope to accomplish the work.
Peary makes 10 mention of DR.. Cook.
but his statement of the reasons for
his success make plain the only basis
on which an expedition could be sue
~cessful. Peary says:
"Fortitude and endurance alone are
not enough in themselves to carry a
man to the north pole. Only with
years of experience in travelling those
regions, only with the aid of a large
party also experienced in that char
acter of work, only with the knowledge
of Arctic detail and the equipment
necessary to prepare himself and his
party for any and every emergency, is
it possible for a man to reach that
long-sought goal and return.
1.-THE reason of our success was a
carefully planned system, mathemati-
cally demonstrated Everything that
could be controlled was controlled, and
the indeterminate factors-storms,
open leads and accidents to men, dogs
and sledges-were taken into consid
Grafton in the percentage of probabili-
ties and provided for as far as possible.
Sledges would break and dogs would
fall by the way, of course, but we
could generally make one sledge out
of two broken mes, and the gradual
depletion of our dogs was involved in
our calculations.

TIE MAJESTY OF DEATH.

In the course of the beautiful SER
vices over the body of the late Mrs.
James II. Anderson, in the Unitarian
church yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Rowena Morse made use of the ex-
preston the majesty of DEATH In
stantly the mind of the writer recall
ed the fact that the gifted Sam M.
Clark had written an article on the
subject many years ago. Search
through the files of The Gate
City disclosed the fact that
the. article appeared in this
paper III January. 1893 and was in
spired by the funeral of Professor
Jameson. The funeral was held en-
Friday and on the following Sunday
morning Mr.. Clark said in these
columns:
'Tis noticeable thing how majestic
the dead are. We sat in the West
minister Presbyterian church Friday
and all about us we saw those who
had buried their dead. For it is as
the German Jean Paul said no one
is SO unhappy as not to have smiled
and no ore so happy as not to have
wept. We saw here wife that had
buried her husband; there daughter
that had buried mother: near by a
white-haired man who had buried a
daughter cut of his heart as it were.
All had their dead and their mem
cries kept vigils then as the dead face
lay there under the black drapery of
the casket. Each put his own dead
there and that was the face each
saw. And the amazing thing is what
majesty death puts upon them SO
that they appear greater than we
have ever seen them, and we humble
ourselves before them with a new and
sudden awe What large theology
God makes when He sends death to
write His greeting! "He giveth His
Beloved sleep And always before
each has closed his eyes in his own
sleep: the sleep of the night. But
this is Gods sleep: there is no mis-
taking it: and He puts the seal of His
own majesty on it, 1t makes no diff
ference what faith or church or nc
faith or no church it was death
writes the same majesty of God upon
every face of every dead that He
takes unto His sleep.

The Case Of Rothert.

Des Moincs Capital We do not be-
lieve the people of the state who take
anv interest in the matter at all will
look with approval upon the move
ment to GUST Superintendent H. w.
Rothert from the head of the school
for the deaf at Council Bluffs. Mr..
Rothert has devoted twenty-tbree
years OF his life to the work in which
ne is now engaged and this we be-
Iieve is the first time that the issue
of incompetency has been raised. We
fear that other motives are inspiring
the movement TO dispense with the
services OF faithful public servant.
We realize that there is quite a dis
position just now to push gray hairs
into the background. and while we
are glad to see the young mon and
women come 10 the front we submit
that. II Is mature judgment and ex-
rerience which is needed in the heads
OF our state institutions rather than
those positions should be converted
into experimental stations for the
mere training of youth.

No tariff problem to attack,
No gowns that button up the back
No end-seat hogs with manners rude,
No monkeying with the price of food,
No ice-bills, no cold storage eggs,
No bunco steerers and no yeggs,
No trolley cars with clang and whir,

BANKS ARE MAKING MONEY.

The banks of Iowa have undivided
profits to the amount of $685..
526.37. according to an abstract of
the recent banking reports which has
been compiled by Chief Clerk G. B.
Ellis of the state banking depart
ment. This is an Increase in the un-
divided profits of s975,54095 over the
report of February 16. These undivid-
ed profits are distributed SO as to
show s3,72S,371.05 in the savings
banks and s2,910,155.32 in the state
banks and trust companies.
There are 663 savings banks in
the state and dividing the total un-
divided profits among them shows
that every savings bank in the state
has an average of $5,623.49 in undi
vided profits. This is taken by the
state banking officials to indicate
that every savings bank in the state
is enjoying an unusual degree of
prosperity. The most encouraging
feature of this situation, according
to the banking officials, is that it
leaves plenty of money with which
to move the crops. This will do
away. they say, with the necessity of
sending east for money for the pur-
pose.

TIE RECENT IOWA CONVENTION.
Former Resident Of tho State Con.
trasts Conditions With Those
of Former Times


To the Editor of The Gate City,
| have read with much interest your
editorials together with what the
press of Iowa is saying with -efer-
ence to the way your Iowa Republic
can convention was loTded over by
Senator Cummins. And as an Iowa
soldier, | have now for forty-three
years pointed to Iowa as the banner
Republican state sending more OF
her population into the war than
any other state in the union, and the
honor OF. her glorious achievements,
with, and at the cost of the blood of
her best citizenship: and that the
Republican party should have taught,
reared up and educated politically
a youth that in his young manhood
would be so ungrateful toward his
political parentage, am unable to
understand. Is it possible that he is
the divinely appointed Moses to lead
the Republicans Of Iowa out of the
wilderness. with his born poetic har-
mony,' that, harmony that can't be
created?
The prosperity of Iowa and of the
Republican party has for the last
forty years been kept in harmony by
their wise and statesman like lead
ers Senators Allison, Wilson and
Gear, with their Jealous and patriotic
followers; ever ready and willing to
abide by such legislation as a ma
jority of the Republican party might
think would rebound to the good of
the greatest number.
From his speech as the temporary
chairman / see that he will here.
after be opposed to a general revis
ion of our tariff system but take it up
by piecemeal. or some new way Oh!
how much like him. just change
that he might suggest!
When that day comes if it ever
should, mark my words it will be the
beginning of the disruption of this
union of ours into antagonistic sec
tions. The interests of the east ane
the west, and the south are SO varied
in their commercial and agricultural
resources it would lead to this result
And yet this very difference wheI
united make us a prosperous nation
and woe be to the man, or set of mel
that would make it otherwise.
Respectfully,

NeuIjucnt NEWSPAPERS.

Des Moines Tribune: Complaint
comes from every commission city
that the new councilmen are keeping
things secret.
Thus The Keokuk Gate City says:
About the only serious fault to be
found with the new city officials under
the commission plan is their policy
OF keeping the public in the dark con-
corning their transactions. The may
or. 1t will be recalled, announced
this policy in his inaugural address
and it has been persisted in ever
since
When the Evening Tribune insisted
on telling just what was going on in
the Des Moines council chamber. it
was ridiculed by many. 1t was charg-
ed with bringing the Des Moines plan
into disrepute.
It begins now to appear that the
Evening Tribune was pursuing the
only policy that would keep the Des
Moines plan on straight.
There is no such thing as pophlar
government without full publicity.
The people must be informed in order
to act intelligently. Without public,
ity all concentrated power tends to-
wards oligarcby, to quote from Leon
ard Brown.
1t is nm to the newspapers. What
are they doing that they permit any.
thing to be secret?
Newspapers are the organs of pub
licity. They are negligent in their
chief duty when public business is
done under cover.
The Keokuk Gate City should en-
liven the situation little by giving
the council members turn.
