Before the National Geographic So
Getty takes action on the proposal that
fl cooperate with the Peary Arctic CLUB
in crga nizinc an expedition 30 the
Antarctic regions it will undoubtedly
consider several questions. One Is. Who
shall lead the party: Cor>"lander PearT

favors Of the government in the last
twenty-five years that & request for an
other leave Of absence. SO that he might
engage in further exploration, would be
lndecorOus, not 10 say presumng.
Besides. so different are the conditions
in the extreme north and south that
methods employed in the one region are
not altogether suited TO the other. Sir
Ernest Sbackleton, following sugses-
fion made by Evelyn Baldwin, used 81
l,erian ponies, instead of dogs, TO draw
his eiedges. because for the weight Of
food consumed the ponies developed
more power than the dogs. Still another
agency for transportation over the Ant
arctic continent, the ice automobile. is
also likely 10 prove valuable in the quest
af the South Pole No loubt men can
10. found who Nvould willingly 'ake
charge Of the expedite but unless
some one should appear who by expert
ence in the Southern Hemisphere and
otherwise is eminently qualified for the
task il would be folly TO undertake il.

IN THE CAUSE OF PEACE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The day Of national conflicts and
the barbarity of war is ending. The dawn
of peace is approaching. This does not
mean that there may be no further wars;
it means merely that forces are now evolV-
ing that will finally put an end to war.
AS the latest step in this direction, Secre-
tary of State Philander c. Knox has ad-
dressed a circular note to the great powers,
suggesting to them an agreement to estao-
lish a court of arbitraI justice. This is
great stride forward.
The peace question is one of the most
vital questions of the day. Preparedness
for war is affecting as never before the
finances of the great nations The annual
expenditures for navy and army purposes
have been steadily increasing. William T.
Stead says that the expenditures OF Eng
land for 1910 for naval purposes alone VIII
exceed 00000.00o, and that if England
maintains the two-power standard her ex-
pendtturcs must exceed 500. 900, for the
reason that Germany purposes to expend
on her navy in 1910 S16o, oo0,G00.
Why this mad race for new battleships?
It is because England is in dread OF a
great conflict with Germany. Germany is
stirred to the core. Her shipyards are
working day and night building battleships
and torpedo destroyers. Some of the other
nations of Europe are approaching bank
ruptcy to keep up this race Of naval con-
struction. Russia is building a new navy
while millions of her people are suffering
for want of food Even Austria purposes
to build a powerful fleet. Why all this?
Because of the lack of intelligent direction
and the lack of confidence OF one govern
ment in another.
This can all be avoided. How? BY the
governments arriving at an understanding.
This understanding can be easily reached
by the appointment of Theodore Roosevelt
as a delegate 70 The Hague and by au-
thorizing him as a peace commissioner to
confer in an informal way with the rulers
OF Germany. England, France, Russia and
Japan on the subject of disarmament and
the proceedings TO be taken to promote the
worlds peace.
Andrew Carnegie has taken an active
interest in this cause. He advocates tie
appointment of Theodore Roosevelt for
this mission. He has expressed his deter
mination to help. Money will be needed
to achieve results, but the money will be
forthcoming for this purpose.
The peace of the world can be settled by
Emperor William, King Edward, the Car
of Russia, the President of France the
Emperor of Japan and the President of the
United States. There is no greater work
for President Taft, Theodore Roosevelt,
Andrew Carnegie and the others named
than this. ". B.

VIII the public tamely submit to suffer

very intrusion OF the monster into our

commonplace. But denOminate the con-

The Ballinger investigation has pro
ceeded far enough 10 enable the public
10 form a definite conception of Mr..
CLAWS. The very fact that Mr.. Ballinger
has not been represented by counsel
has given the public a more unobstruct-
ed view Of the man whom Mr.. Wicker
sham. the Attorney General. called
''megalomaniac'' and whom Mr. PinchOt
warmly indorsed as Gne of the stouteSt
defenders of the public interest. Mr..
CLAWS was permitted TO tell his story
in his own way. and incidentally TO
throw a food of light upon the workings
Of bis own mind
We have no disposition to pronounce
judgment on the merits of this contro-
yersy. regarding which so little eTidence
has been as vet produced But Mr..
CLAWS evidently belongs TO the type Of
man which attaches great Importance 20
trifles = curious Illustration Of his
tendency to find mysterious significance
il the most Insignificant condolences
appeared in his reluctance TO mention
the name of town in Alaska that was
referred TO in his testimony. After some
hesitation he gave its name as Mel
SON. the name also Of the Senator who
IS presiding al the Ballinger inquiry. He
appeared to regard this coincidence as
embarrassing,
Another Illustration Of his capacity 30
Judge evidence was the seriousness he
attached to a land lobbyists boast that
the failure of eX-Secretary Garfield to
be retained in the present Cabinet was
due to the influence of the Alaskan
claimants. 4 person of ordinary sagac-
ity would have dismissed this assertion
as on 4 par with hundreds Of assertions
that are invariably heard in regard to
the mutations of politics. Not so Mr.
CLAWS. He is pr0digiouSly impressed.
He reduces the statement TO the form
of an affidavit at the earliest possible
moment and rusbes copy of 1t TO Mr.
Pinchot. Another copy he intended for
the President himself.
Mr.. CLAWS ma. have hit upon the
truth about the great Conspiracy on
whose trail he camped so vigilantly, but
if he has done 50 it was through an IN
eIring imagination, not through the eX-
ercise of common sense.

THE FARMERS SIDE.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The problem of the high ,cost of
living has been the cause of a great de,t
OF agitation and discussion for the last
two months, and movements have snrrns,
up urging that an exhaustive investiga
ton be made in an effort to ascertain tbe
causes
1t requires but very little investigation
to find the principal causes One is he
cause there are too many consumers for
the number of producers, and that the law
of supply and demand holds good: and
another very important one is the great
scarcity OF farm laborers all over the
country. The farms in the State of New
York could easily produce double the
precent yield if enough competent helm
could be secured to do the necessary work
for any reasonable price.
Farm life and Dor will not be ba1a =,
favor until the farmer receives enough for
his produce to make a fair return on his
investment In farm and equipment and
good compensation for his labor as is
received in the various other industries. In
that case country life would be more ar
tractive TO the farmers sons and DAUGHTERS
who now flock to the cities
The people can buy -four, sugar tea
coffee, rice, beans, onions, potatoes and
many other articles of food at the present
time at no higher price than the average
for the last fifteen years, while the wage
for labor of all kinds has been increased
from so to 100 per cent in the same time
which much more than offsets the increased
cost of meat butter. cheese. eggs, etc.
None of the speakers or publications.
has had one word to say about the great
increase IN the cost of labor in the past
fifteen years In all he industries and
activities of the people. which adds very
materially - the cost of all the products
of labor. So long as men can live and
work in citle, eight or nine hours a dav
and receive much more wages than anv
farmer afford 10 pay at the present
prices for his produce. farm laborers will
be scarce and foCd may continue To ad-
vance in price.
The farmer, cannot do his work on any
eight-hour basis. nc must work from
twelve TO fourteen hours day for eight
months of the year. and ten hours for the
remainder. and then may see his crops
ruined by unfavora5le weather. Farm
ing Is thu most risky business on the list of
industries. JOHN NJ KENNEDY.
