POWER oF AN HoNEeT MAN. What the Late David A. Wells Did fev
 His Country.

.
 When, at the close of the. civil war. It was announced that the national debt was three billion dollars, everybody was staggered at the mere thought or the burden.
 Brick Pomeroy, then at the head of an influential democratic paper, open ly advocated repudiation, while the Cincinnati Enquirer and Qther infiuen- way to meet the difficulty was to issue to the holders of government obliga- tions greenbacks to the full amount of their claims. irredeemable in gold. when they were worn out the debt would be paid.
 In the midst of this confusion a school teacher named David A. Wells, ~Our Strength and Our Burden dem- onstrating that the natural resources of the United States were of incon- ceivable richness and that there were precious metals enough in one range of mountains in Colorado to pay the entire national debt. That pamphlet saved the nation from possible dishon- or.-The Oklahoman.
 ssB. H. A" sent the above to The Bull 1etin as a matter of local interest, ac- companied with the following letter:
 ..The item brings to my mind an i'm cident which occurred sometime ago During the gubernatorfal campaign oi Governor Coffin I took that genetlemar doing called his attention to the resi- dence of David A. Wells.
 MT. Coffin requested that I stop tho

 in spite of MT. Wells being called [ free trader and a democrat. he ma in tained the highest respect for him.
 ''He referred with great feeling t' | the yalue of the pamphlet "Ou 1 Strength and Our Burden" The gov ernment caused it to be printed il Dutch. German and French, and it re

 MT. Moss has been a popular mem Der of his home lodge, has served on the degree staff for 13 years. five years ae vice-grand, and eight years as noble grand, and has been the lodge secre- tary for 8 number of years
 At the district convention in 1909 he was elected provincial deputy grand master, and the efficiency with which he has carried out his duties through out the state during the past year, is proof that he is well qualified for his present high and responsible position.

A FIoatinq Court.

Gov. Clark of Alaska believes in facilitating the course of justice. He has been assigned to duty in a wide territory. characterized by an almost total lack of transportation facilities. The people are scattered. All the equipment of administration is neces- sarily somewhat crude, and the con- ditfons favor slackness of the ordi- nary judicial processes which in a more highly organized community are brought into close relations with the people. Gov. Clark's ideas is to take the law to the settlements instead of making the residents go to the law. He will put the federal court of the territory on a revenue cutter at the beginning of summer and will send it along the entire coast line from Sew ard around to the mouth of the Yukon By this means he will insure the trial during the season of all the cases of lawlessness that have accumulated during the winter. The judge will carry with him on the steamer a depu- torney and a grand and petit jury, dictments and determining guilt. As fast as convictions are found the pris- oners will be cared for by the deputy marshal on board the cutter, which will thus become both floating court house and a movable jail. At the end of the season this combination palace of justice and penitentiary will move back south and discharge it's human cargo at some central point of deten- tion.-Washington Star.

Is pr. Cook 2 Eaker?

Knowing these things, does it not
 behoove people who prize truth, justice
 and the spirit of fair play to go a
 little slow in their judgments? Is Dr.
 Cook a falzer? I answer, there is not
 a particle of evidence to show that
 he is. And therefore we have no right
 to condemn him.
 Wendell Phillips and Horace Greeley were both good men, but what they
 thought and said about Abraham Lin coin is too sickening to print. To
 make it brief they both called Lin coin all the names and a few more that so many people are now apply ing to Dr. Cook.
 The people who lavished on Dr. Cook their roses, were after him with cockle-b immediately after the Danish commission issued their yer dict of Mot Proven Yet this verdict should have been anticipated, since it was the only pos sible verdict that could be given. Our Copenhagen friends were very remiss in not knowing, and plainly stating, that no man can ever go to the North Pole and prove it accord ing to the accepted rules of what con- stitutes legal evidence.
 Evidence to be irrefutable must be corrobOrated by disinterested witness es- Theological evidence, of course, is something else.
 Peary had a chance to take white man with him. Instead he chose a negro who had no knowledge of nav igation nor any sense of the value of scientific data.
 There is no reason to suppose that Peary has been to the Pole beyond his own statements and the records which he personally prepared. And all experts now agree that records can be faked. All photographs taken above eighty degrees are very much alike. Peary's records are better prepared than Cooks. But does this prove that Peary went to the pole and Cook didn't?
 Not at all; it simply proves that Peary is more Sskilful in conoS7R ing q record and thu question Of Rhich man could travel farther is left un- touched.-The Era
