DR.. COOK COMES BACK.
The Explorer Again Asserts That He
Reached the Pole.

New York, JAN. 27.-After an interval
OF silence DR.. Frederick A. Cook took
the lecture platform and told the Ger
man-American Pioneer club, of Har-
lem that. he was more positive than
even that he reached the North Pole.
Within his own bosom, he said, there
was the satisfying thump of success,
won at great cost" but at the same
time, the geographical proof that any
one man, himself or Commander Peary,
stood at the exact pole, could never be
laid before the "arm chair geograph-
ers."
The whole matter was still in doubt.
the doctor insisted, except for his be-
lief that he had as good a right to
claim the pole as Peary who, for the
first time. he accused, in company with
Peary's friends. of forcing by an or
ganized effort, a campaign to discredit
my achievement"
Hitherto the doctor had never uues-
toned that Peary reached the pole.
Now he asks: rs there any one sure
shoulder upon which we can hang the
mantle of polar conquest?"
Specifically attacking the accuracy of
Peary's records, the doctor said they
were in no better shape than his own.

LET'S DOWN THE BARS.
Proposed Reciprocity Arrangement
With Canada Is a Liberal One.

Washington, Jan. 27-Within less
than 10 months after the initiation by
President Taft of negotiations with the
Canadian government, there has been
laid simultaneously before the Ameri-
can congress at Washington and the
Canadian parliament at Ottawa a
reciprocity arrangement, which, If ap-
proved by the legislative branches If
the two governments. will do much, IN
the OPT ion of the negotiators, to en-
large and liberalize the trade between
the United States and Canada.
The arrangements do not take the
form of treaty and considerable time
will be saved in the consummation Of
the agreement, which can be made eff
fective by simple majority vote in
esch of the two legislatures

Knox appeared to have been to procure

a number of American products con-
sumed in Canada. Prominent among
these is bituminous coal. which is now
exported to Canada to the value of sew
eral million dollars annually. There is
also much better opening for Ameri-
can farm machinery and implements.
No less than 81 per cent of the Cana.
dian goods imported into the United
States will be benefited by considerable
reductions Of duties. The intention OF
the commissioners to remove all duties
on printing paper and wood pulp was
effected so far as the Dominion govern
ment could do it outside the limitation
existing in the laws of the Canadian
provincial governments imposing ex-
port duty on wood cut on crown lands
in Canada, but the American duty will
liz only on the comparatively small
proportion of Canadian pulp or wood
cut on such crown lands.
The agreement, to become effective,
must be shaped as a law amendatory
of the existing tariff acts in the United
States and in Canada, and 1t will re-
quire sharp work to accomplish this, SO
far as congress is concerned, in the
brief period of time remaining of the
present session

Mankato. Kan. Jan. 27.-It developed
today that the shooting Thursday of
Mr. and Mrs W. A. Bales, living on
White Rock creek, near here, by Harve
Adleigh, their friend for years, prob
ably was the result OF fit of insanity
Wadleigh had brooded over many
trivial things in several months past
and had shown signs of insanity. An
affliction of the eyes as we'll as in
creased business cares have caused
him much worry.

has accumulated a good sized fortune
in a few years. He is a prominent cat
tleman and deals extensively in real
estate, owning some of the best land on
the White Rock. He offered no resist
ance to the sheriff and is now In the

M NEAL The man,
New Candidate for Mayor Being
Entered in Race.
He Is Reluctant But Will Prob
ably Submit.
Tom A. McNeal for mayor.

-OiAA a. 4AC4NO04 LUZ lAdJO1.
If enough influence is brought to
bear Tom McNeal, state printer, will be
the next mayor of Topeka. The law
and order people of the city have been
sending committee after committee to
wait upon Mr.. McNea1 and it is under
stood that every effort will be made to
bring him into the mayoralty race.
Petitions are being circulated for Mr..
McNeal and the interested people of
the city are signing them.
1t was thought for some time that
John Schenck, until few weeks ago
county attorney, would be the candi-
date for the place. Before the John
Schenck boom, Tom McNeal was men
toned but at that time he refused flat
ly to have anything to do with it. Now
John Schenck claims he cannot afford
to give up his law practice and the
supporters have knocked on the Nc
Neal door again.
This time the waiting populace IS
listening with its ears to the cracks.
hoping that Tom McNeal will give an
answering knoek-and let them in.
And 1t is practically assured that
he will come out in a few days to run
as the law and order man against
Mayor Billiard, who is supported by
the so called t'wet'' element in To-
peka.
With Tom McNeal in the race, the
fight for mayor in Topeka this spring
will be the fiercest in years.
There will be four men in the race
Mayor Billiard, Colonel J.. W. f.
Hughes, Samuel Lux and Tom Nc
Neal
Samuel E. Lux has given his state
ment on the liquor question-he has
come out squarely for the anti-liquor
crowd. Colonel Hughes says he is
running for the enforcement of the
laws and says nothing about the pro-
hibition matter.
Despite the strict laws regarding
prohibition, the ''wet'' and "dry"
side to the coming campaign is a par
amount issue-an issue that can't be
lodged.
If Topeka is to have at the head of
its government man who believes
that prohibition, the absence of sa-
looms, is one of its greatest assets, no
man would be more representative of
the city than Tom McNeal He has
sane, level-headed way of looking
at things, saying things and doing
things that would make him in many
respects an ideal executive of the cap
ital city. He is popular, well known,
and widely respected for character
and ability.

How to Prevent Panics

Edward B, Vreeland in Leslies.
 It is now the opinion, not only of students of finance here and abroad. but of intelligent people generally, that money panics in the United States have been due entirely to defective bank ing and currency system. and that We shall continue to suffer from these de- structive business convulsions until our banking and currency system is placed upon sound and modern basis.
 Until the panic of 1907 the mass of our people believed that our. banking and currency system was well adapted to the business needs of the. country. The great panics of preceding years were attributed by the people to other reasons. but in 1907 we had no excuse for panic except lack of stability in our system and a lack of confidence by the people, and particularly by the bankers themselves. in our system. There was no prospective change in our tariff laws, the gold standard had been fixed in the statutes and the financial act of 1900 made It the duty of the sec retary of the treasury to maintain it.. The silver purchasing act had long been repealed It was time of great prosperity. The railroads were over whelmed with freight, factories were filled with orders and our people were fully employed at high wages. To most of our people the panic of 1907 came like a bolt out of clear sky, with all of its familiar features of runs upon banks, closing of factories, idle fregh. cars, calling of loans, securities thrown upon the market. and millions of people deprived of work; it Is needless to in- quire as to the particular events which precpitated this condition.
 We may admit that there had been oyer-expansion of business, but should our monetary system not be such as to give warning to the people through rising interest rates?
