GOOD OLD FRANZ"

There something touching about the affec-
tionate manner in which Raold Amundsen broke
away in the midst of his description Of his diScov-
cry of the South Pole, to praise the ship in which
he had weathered so many gales and had finally rid
den to triumph. "Farthest North farthest South
Good old Franz" he said.
Byron, lover of the sea, long ago compared the
vessel in which he sailed as "a steed which knows
its rider" and, indeed, there is some such feeling
associated with the faithful companion of ones voy-
age. But in the of Amundsen this feeling must
have been greatly intensified by reason Of the un-
usual perls he had shared with Good old Franz"
Those have been no holiday junkets to the mag
netc pole the North and to the apex Of the world
on the South. The peculiar construction and adapta-
bility of the Fran has been measurable factor in
the success of the great explorers enterprises.
The CONSERVATION which seized upon him when,
on one occasion he missed his vessel must have been
more than compensated when he realized short
time later that the catan had sailed farther south,
in the process Of shifting the base of operations 1t
had nosed its way into waters where never keel or
PROV had been before. Its hulk and sails became
visualzed before his minds eye the features of
friend and companion whose name would be linked
in history with his own. 1t would rank in the annals
of the future along with the Half Moon, with the
Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria Unconscious
y he threw about it all the warmth of personal af-
feCtion such would be all the stronger amidst the
isolation of barren fields of snow.
The very exclamation does credit to the kindli-
of his heart and illustrates that the brav-
est are the tendeTest, the loving the daring"
The general public in the midst of its admiration
for the explorers great achievement will "ause long
enough to echo his own tribute, Good old Franz"

WOULD HAVE JAILED US
IN PURITAN TIMES
To the Editor OF THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
When Frank James was confined in
jail In Kansas City on a charge of
highway robbery. Robert Ingcrsoll
came to that city to lecture. Being
interviewed, Frank said: "Ingersoll Is
worse than a murderer. and should be
in prison" In an article in Bronson
Magazine, as late as 1876. Darwin,
Huxley, Spencer, and Tyndall were re-
ferred to as worse than horse
thieves" 1t Is easy to see that all
that such people need is power to
carry out their ideas of the penalties
that should attach to such moral tur
pituda. In bygonc days it was in
ccrporatCd into law, and the editor
of The Times. IL he had lived in Puri-
taniC days, would be lingering in jail

The rock bed Of immortality is
the assumption of infalIibility.
This is the false parent of
all the others. a companion to this
is the reason paralyZing and immoral
doctrine that to doubt is to be damn
ed. One writer explains the existence
of skepticism by the tcXt: God shall
send them strong delusion that they
may believe a lie and be damned"
a God who deceives and lies and
hardcns the heart of people to punish

SENATOR WORKS GOOD FIGHT.

The people of the District of Columbia owe a
large debt to Senator Works of California for the in
telligent persistent fight he has made get good
public utilities measure adopted.
Some of the things which Senator Works de-
Veloped, in the course of his two-dayS exposition,
we're nothing short of amazing He forced the admis-
sion, for instance, that whereas the bill before the
Senate supposed to have the approval of the
District Commissioners, it was in fact not the bill
they had approved; it not the bill the
Corporation Counsel had drafted approved; it
was, instead bill that had received the approval Of
public service corporation authorities. He made
very clear that the measure had been loaded up with
okers instead of effective regulatve provisons and
in the end, aided by men like Hoke Smith, Bristow,
Cummins and others, he forced the bill to be taken
back to committee.
1t is not necessary at this time to discuss respon-
sibility for the development of such parliamentary
situation as Senator Works exposed 1t was not credit
able to the management of the bill 1t to be hoped
and most earnestly, that a sincere effort will be
made to get measure drafted and passed. that will
stand the tests of examination by people who want
heal honest, useful regulation.
! There have been fears, among some of the
earnest supporters of such legislation that if this
bill is treated as it deserves, Senator Gallinger
chairman of the committee in charge Of it, will give
up in disgust, and that there will be no legislation
at this session
So far that is concerned it may be said
that legislation at all would be preferable to such
a bill as the which the traction magnates ap
proved and which the Senate has been asked to pass
1t is not improbable that Senator Gallnger would
be quite satisfied to have legislation, if the alter
native must be real effective, useful legislation
But in the present state of public opinion
in New Hampshire the Senator hardly
afford to take the responsibility for preventing al
legislation People up there are taking more inter
est in District of Columbia affairs than they former
y did. They are watching just such matters as this
public utilities bill, and noting the record which
their senior Senator makes on them.
1t would be a national misfortune if Congress;
The Washington times., 1912-03-10

should pass model public utilities bl-for that
is what it would be called-that would betray real
regulation. 1t is not that Washington is especially
entitled TO better piece of legislation than other
communities; but Congress ought not to pass a
bogus measure that could be pressed upon legsla-
lures and municipal assemblies as model when in
fact it was the very reverse.
Senator Works has done splendid piece of
business for the country we'll for the District
Let him now persist; let him insist that the legsla
ton shall be brought before the Senate once more
and that it be passed in the best possible form.

EARLY MARRIAGES.

Dr. Boos' statement that marriage should come
earlier in the life of young men revives an old ques-
ton, but one of never-ending importance. Marriage
in these days is more than the settlement of per-
sonal question. 1t is social question that is being
settled by young people when they found home. 1t
is an economic question which they are facing, with
out doubt. DR.. Boos thinks young men should be
aided by the state to marry. This is but one more
burden of the many which many persons are ready
to shoulder upon the state, and, perhaps, if things
continue they seem to be moving, this may become
inevitable
Breakfasts for school children are already here.
state-aided marriage to bring into the world public
fed school children would seem to pretty thoroughly
demoralize marriage as a home-making institution.
Meanwhile what becomes of the independence, the
joy of achievement, the sef-denia the mutual bur-
denbearing which have been the joy of home-making
in the past? Marriage undoubtedly should come
early in the lives of young men and women And
it should be entered upon ntelligently possible
But begun with state aid it looks very much like a
ravesty upon the real thing.

In reply to the letter signed Irish

substance of things hoped for, the basis
of things not seen" Naturally, faith IN
things not seen exists in most of our
minds in very small quantities. But our
Heavenly Father wants his children to
trust him implicitly. and hence this
trust has to be cultivated. But we are
