Fla gler bay. We explored a new pass
4 over Schley land and came down or
| the Pacific waters at Big Ford. In Sc.
we're storms and low temperature we
suffered here severely. Two or out
dogs were frozen and men Ielt tne
pains Of severe frost torture. put nov ,
as we advanced the temperature Tel
still lower-to SO degrees below zero.
Here, beyond the haunts OF man,
we experienced the joys of zero's low
est There was no wind; the air was
dry: the land was tinted IN delicate
shades; the sky burned with golden
sunbursts. We moved in game trails,
lived on the fat Of the land ana
camped in palaces Of ice.
were invading new Eden of animal
delight. From the hills there came
the dog brothers. call Of the wolf.
Over little hummocks scores OF little
fluffy arctic hare bounded like rubber
balls In other places the blue and
the white fox were hiding. Before US
or behind us was the polar bear.
Either in the chase OF US or we Were
in the chase of it. The running battle
was ever interesting. Thus we moved
in game trails, in hunting spirits with
prineval delights to the end OF
known lands
Then the battle tactics changed. IN
a month we had covered 400 miles:
had transported our supplies to- the
shores Of the polar sea: had lined up
to the edge of the very battlefield
the wild polar sea upon which our
warfare with famine and frost was to
test our fitness as polar victors. The
pole was $50 miles beyond. That pole
was ours as we now looked over seas
of blue mystery to our destination.
Party is Reduced to Three.
"On March IS. with four men and
forty-six dogs, began this transbor-
cal dash. The others were sent back.
At the end Of three days we had ad-
herring pack. Again the party was
divided In line with the law Of the
survival of the flttest
"Ahweloh and Etukisberk, two boys
OF 20, were selected as my sole COM
panions. Twenty-six Of the best dogs
were spanned to two tough hickory
sleds. We carried dried food and
camp equipment for eighty days. With
this force and outfit we must win or
lose In the polar race.
Conditions Improve Near Pole.
ION April ] we started off to force
the last 800 miles to the pole. The ice
improved; the barometer rose
and remained steady, and the wind
came from the west The drift was
east, over smoother ice, and still bet
ter progress was possible. Between
the S7th and ssth parallels we cross
ed what seemed like land ice and be-
yond the Ice spread out In smooth
planes over which long daily marches
were possible.
Daily progress was carefully
checked and tabulteed by various OBJ
and now as we neared the
earth's axis our position was noted
by the rising sun. At least we reached
a spot where the sun at midday and at
was of about the same
height. We were at a place on NOV
ing seas Of ice when our shadows
were the same length for each hour
Of the twenty-four. The observations
gave latitude 80 degrees. On that
spot, on April Fl, 1908, we raised the
stars and stripes and claimed the first
of the pole.
1--WE found no footprints there.
1.-TWO days were spent at the pole
to measure the altitude of the sun
every six hours, and then we started
for the long return march"

Welcome to Oscar Underwood.

The presence of Oscar Underwood
has given fresh impetus to the Dem
ocratic Campaign. As Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means. and as
q leader IN the great fight for tariff
reform, he has been received by his
fellow Democrats in a manner befit-
ting his station and ability. Mr..
Underwood has not come to this State
to interfere in our home affairs, or to
tell US how to conduct our govern
ment, or what policies are the wisest
to pursue. He very properly leave
these vexed questions to the candi-
dates, sswhc, if elected, will be fable to
carry out the reforms promised by
their platforms.
No man in this country is better
capacitated to bring home to the
people the facts that lie at the base of
the great contset which was waged at
the last Congress, and which will con-
tinue to be waged for the enfranchise-
ment Of the people from the slavery of
a protective tariff. He is not only
great party leader but he is mure than
that. great patriot, who has boldly
stood for what he believes is right.
1t is proper that Mr.. Underwood
should come to Kentucky at this time
to cor suit with his fellow democrats
and to urge npon them the Importance
of this years contest, and its influence
upon the Presidential Campaign of
nGXt year, when the Democracy will
have its first real opportunity in many
years to win a national victory. Born
in Kentucky and educated here ne has
been made TO understand that he is one
IF US; that his visits is sort Of home
coming that recalls old memories and
cid friendships; that his advice in this
crisis is needed; and that his masterful
discussion of national policies has not
only added TO the peoples store of
knowledge, but has given them a ibet.
ter appreciation of the difficulties out
of which such leaders as himself and
Champ Clark have led Us.
Mr.. Underwood's speeches have
done a world of good. He has earned
the gratitude of every Democrat in
Kentucky. No man has a brighter
future than he, and it may soon come
to pass that his promotion will meas
ure up to his desserts, which are of the
highest.

O'Rear's Family Rides on Rail-
road Passes.

Proof of Judge O'Rear's inconsistent
cy and insincerity is being furnished in
heaping measure as the campaign pro-
ceeds. 1t is easy to take up every po-
sition he has assumed and show by the
record that his private views and acts
are at variance with his public protes-
tations.
The very latest evidence against him
on this score is in the matter of free
passes, and has been produced by the
Lexington Herald. In a spec CHI accept
ing the Republican nomins ton, he re-
ferred to the Constitutional provision
against the use Of free passes by pub
lie officials, and he pledged himself, if
elected Governor, to see that a law
was placed upon the Statute book en-
forcing that section. Since his nomi-
nation. ne has frequently condemned
the railroads for issuing such passes.
and public men for accepting them,
and has pointed to it as fruitful source
of corruption.
On the very day that Judge O'Rear
arose in the State Convention and cor
demned the use of free passes. his
family rode from Frankfort to Louis
vile on passes issued by a railroad.
and it is fair to presume that thew
could not, and would net have accept
ed these favors from the railroad With
out the knowledge and consent of Judge
O'Rear.
1t is just as culpable for the family
of the Judge of the Court of Appeals
to tide on free passes as it would be
for that official himself to receive such
favors, and it violates the spirit if not
the letter of the Constitution when he
permits them to put him in that en-
barrassing position.
This charge was openly made by the
Lexington Herald, and it has been sub
Stimulated By others. So far Judge
O'Rear has not made any explanation
of how it happened that he could be so
bitterly opposed to the railroads giving
free passes to public officials when his
own family profits by the practice.
In his speech at Bowling Green on
Monday, Judge O'Rear condemned the
ralrIoads. because, as he charged, they
have for many years secured con; rol of
the Legislative Committee. If this is
true.it is most reprehensible. and calls
for the severest condemnation but so
long as Judge O'Rear's family cen
tlnues to be the guest Of the railroads
in their journeyings about the State,
this criticism will be received with
suspicion and with doutas to his co.,
sistency and sincerity.
