DIR. COOK IN corENnAGnN.

Dr. Frederick y. Cook, the Original
Discovercr of the North Pole, reached
Copenhagen yesterday and had u warm
police guard was turned out for his
protection from the highly emotional
Danish people who were disposed TO
crowd upon him. The contrast between
his present visit and his previous ap-
pcarance in that community about two
years ago must have made deep i'm
preston upon the intrepid explorer,
and shown him how uncertain and
evanescent are the honors of this
world.
on April u, 1905, Or. Cook accom-
panied 10y few faithful Eskimo fol-
lowers, after unparalleled sufterings

planted the Nag OF his country at tho

HIRAM JOHNSON ExrLAINs.

q. Hiram Johnson, Governor of Cali
fornia, did not attend the dinner given
to President Taft by the directors of
the Panama Exposition in san Fran
cisco because he feared that somebody
might have said something at the din
ner about the action of the people of
California in voting for the radical
amendment of the State Constitution
at the recent election, sin concurrence
with the Presidents wishes" "Th
the serenity & the occasion might not
be marred, we absented ourselves on
that OCCASION"
1t was just we'll that Governor
Johnson stayed away, probably; but
he should not seek after the event to
blame the President for his own lack
of decency by saying that the Presi-
dent would have wished that some :
body at the banquet" should reflect
upon the people of California for their
action on the constitutional amend
nents. President Taft is not that sort
OF man. First Of all, he is u gentleman,
ana IT Is impossible to think of his
doing or saying anything. or of procur-
Ing anything to be said or done that
would give offence To his hosts. The
fact is. Governor Johnson abused the
courtesy of his Office and the conn
dencc OF his people, who, whatever
their views about direct legislation,
are given to hospltalit,.

present purposes. There arc sis thou
sand voting precincts in Texas. at
each of which there must he three
managers OF election TO make the
election fully represent the will OF
the people. every polling place in the
Site must be opened. When u pri-
mary election was held three years
ago for MISUNDERSTANDING to the Ma
t!onal Convention, there were some
counties In which polls were not OPEN
ed at all, and there was scarcely a
county In the State in which all the
precincts were opened
1t is estimated that it would cost
$4,000 to hold such All election as that
now proposed, and this money must
be contributed either by the candi-
dates or by the people. Tie candi-
dates cannot afford it, and the people
would be foolish to stand il. Nothing
would be gained by 1t: nothing of
benefit to the people has ever been
gained by the primary election any
where. There is already too much
election machinery, too many cleo
lions. too many unworthy and ineffi-
cient men nominated and elected to
Office, and, instead OF increasing the
burdens there should be an effort to
simplify the methods of naming the
candidates and filling the offices, TN

the campaign expenses or candidate

exceed sl0,ooo-s2,5o 500 more than the
salary the successful candidate would

1t is utterly Impossible for the poor
man, whatever his qualifications. to
enter Il race where the law permits
the expenditure of so much money as
that for tho purpose of getting a place
In the public service.
There is no authority for the pro
posed primary election in Texas. and
1t should not bind any one to be gov
erned by It's results. Probably, this
would be the best way of escaping
from the eXactions OF party control
and party tyranny in the political az
fairs of the South; the primary plan.
