DISCOVERED The
SOUTH POLE
Capt. Amundsen's Discov'
cry Not Doubted.

London, March 9.-From King
George, who sent to-day a mes
sage to King Haakon congratulate
ing him on the success OF Capt.
Amun isen In reaching the South
Pole, TO the man on the street, the
British public Is stirred by the
latest news from the Antarctic.
Although England Is still hoping
against hope to-day that Capt.
Scott also succee He'd, everywhere
the fact that Amun 1sen did reach
the pole is accepted without ques-
ton. The naming OF the grelt
Antarctic plateau on which the
pole was located for King Haakon
has aroused an undereurrent OF re
sentiment here, as II Is pointed out
that this same territory was nam
ell after the lane King Edward by
Shackleton, who was the first to
penetrate the Antarctic that far
south.
There is feeling of iisarpoint-
ment in the possibility that Scott
found the Norwegian flag flying
over the southernmost ice II he
lid succeed in reaching the pole,
Explorers AMI Arctic experts, in
discussing the latest news to-day,
are inclined to give Amundsen's
| logs great credit for his successful
trip.
Another circumstance which APP
pears to have favored Amundsen
was the unusually fine weather
con iitions which are reported to
have prevailed last year in the
Antarctic. In Shackleton's lash
for the pole almost continuous bli7
zaris were encountered in the
high attitudes OF the plateau and
the inclement weather con iitions
more than any other one cause
compelled him to turn back wher
so near to success.
The geographical societies show
no disposition to doubt that AmuI
isen really succeeded, and the Brit
ish explorers declare that the re-
suit OF his discoveries will prov,
an extremely important addition t'
, the worlds knowledge of the An
tarctic.
} Amun isen's past record in Arc
tic exploration has been good, an;
his reports have always proved re
liable. The result is that there i
little disposition to question an.
statements he may make in regar
: to his discoveries in the Antarcti
Capt. Scott's lateness in emerg
ing from the Antarctic is gener
, ally attributed to his reported in
, tention OF making extensive ex
: plorations ana scientific observa
, tons whether or not he succee ie
, in attaining the pole. His chic
aim was naturally to reach the pol
but his expe iition was equippe
with all the latest scientific ap
pliances for the making OF com
y plete recor 1s that would be OF pc
!, manent benefit to science. Antars
. tic experts pointed out to-day thi
iespite Amandsen's success wild

REBUkE AT TAFT
Vetoed Farmers Free List Bill
Because He Isn't For
People

Taft represents the trustees and
not the people, said Woodrow Will
son last week in speech at William
Grove. Pa. He said in part:
"The present Democratic Congress
had the old-fashioned idea of gov
eminent. 1t introduced and passed
bill which became known as the
farmers free list bill. That bill put.
many indispensable things on the
free list. Most prominent among
them were agricultural implements,
because the American farmer pays
more for his agricultural implements
than any other farmer in the world,
for the American manufacturers who
make agricultural implements sell
them much cheaper on the other side
of the water.
1t was very natural act on the
part of the Democratic Congress-
therefore, to put agricultural inn
plements on the free list, to put
fence wire also on the free list, and
the bagging and ties which. the South
ern farmer needs and uses for his
cotton. 1t added lumber and laths
and shingles and leather and shoes
and salt and meats, thinking not of
the farmer alone, but all of us who
are struggling to live and pay our
bills. But such changes did not
comport with the ideas and plans of
the trustees, and the Presidentvetoed
the free list. | daresay he was right
from his point of view, for he repre-
sented the trustees and not the peo-
ple."
