MUST KEEP IT
UP, SAYS NANSEN
He Declares Norwegians Best Fitted For
Polar Exploration =
Work.

Christiania, March ls.--The king and
queen, cabinet ministers, diplomatic
corps and a representative gathering of
citizens were present at the Geographic
cal societys meeting when Dr. hansen
delivered lecture on polar exploration
in general and Amundsens achievement
i'll particular.
Commenting on the long struggle to
attain the south pole, Nansen paid a
warm tribute to Capt. Cook and Capt
Ross. He continued;
Their feats have been brilliantly fol-
lowed up by Capt. Scott and Sir Err
nest Shaekleton, whose discoveries great
~ contributed to Amundsen's success
Still, the Amundsen expedition was
largely founded on Norwegian expert
ence. The art and science Of polar ex-
ploration have been highly developed
by the Norwegians, and their methods
have been adopted by all other coun-
tries, but Norwegians are better fitted
to apply them in practice, because they
spring from Norwegian polar experience.
Therefore we must continue these cx-
plorations. We should not do what 9TH
ers can do better but should concentrate
our facilities on doing what we can do
better than Others"

SENATE DISCUSSES PENSIONS.
Senator Kern of Indiana Advocates the
Sherwood Dollar-a-Day Bill.

Washington, ID. c., March lS.-The
Sherwood dollar-a-day pension bill was
Saturday the subject of debate in the
Senate. Senator Kern of Indiana and
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
chairman of the pension committee. oc-
cupied most of the time. Senator lIoke
Smith of Georgia and Senator Curtis OF
Kansas engaged in colloquy concerning
the administration of the pension bureau
aud the reduction of pensions during Mr.
Smiths administration as secretary OF
the interior under President Cleveland.
Mr.. Kern's speech was an eloquent
plea for liberal pensions for the old sol
diers. whom. he said, all parties and fac
tions in Indiana favored taking care Of.
He said his platform contained plank
declaring for generous pension legisla-
ton. The Sherwood bill in its original
form. he said. would obviate for all time
the necessity for special pension legis-
lation and would simplify the admins
tration of the pension bureau.
Measured by its dealings with other
creditors, this government has utterly
failed to carry out the plain provisions
Of its contract with the soldiers of the
Civil war" said Senator Kern.
Senator McCumber thought Senator
Kern had done an injustice in intimating
that the government has been niggardly
in allowing pensions.

Health Questions and Politics.

An interesting phase of the education
of the public in health matters is the
attitude of the newspapers, which are
constantly giving more and more intel
ligent discussion to health questions. A
hopeful feature of this discussion is the
tendency to demand of public officials,
local. state and national, support of
public health movements In a recent
editorial in a Chicago newspapers con-
corning aldermanic primaries, the atti-
tude of prospective aldermen concern
ing health matters is placed first in the
discussion of the qualifications of an
alderman. IL is said: "A bad alder
man may do YOU more harm than bad
president: if your child dies because he
has blocked n milk ordinance; if your
family sickens in an epidemic which an
health inspection has made
possible; if you wear your life out with
had transportation, bad air, bad hous-
ing. This is followed by

Insomnia and Tobacco.

The dominant characteristic Of to-
hacco is the fact that it heightens blood
pressure. The irritant action by which
it does this sometimes leads to still
more harmful results. Its second action
is narcotic. it lessons the connection
between nerve center and the outside
world. These two actions account for
All the good and all the bad effects OF
tobacco. As narcotic, it temporarily

a well known law of medicine that all
the drugs which in the beginning lessen

smoking finally causes apprehension, by

Tennessee Supreme Court Upholds Law
Prohibiting Manufacture.

Nashville, Tenn, March lS.-The Ten
nessee supreme court Saturday held that

intoxicating liquors within the state, en-
acted in 1909, is constitutional,
The case was that of Lem Motlow.
proprietor of Jack Daniel whiskey, who
operated great distillery in Moore
county. Under the affirmation Of the
verdict Of the lower court, Motlow, a
man of great wealth, is sentenced to
pay a fine and serve six months in the
Moore county workhouse. Motlow
averred that he had the right to make
whskey in Tennessee to be shipped into
other states.
Justice NJ NJ. Neil gave the opinion,
which was dissented from by Justice
Grafton Green. The case is the Gus.
come of the fight between prohibitions
lists and those opposed to prohibition in
which Senator i. w. Carmack was slain
and which has resulted in a division of
the Democratic party and the election
of a Republican governor.
Motlow, appealing the case from the
Moore county circuit court, set up that
the law is void under both the state
and federal constitutions Justice Green.
dissenting, declared the manufacturers
law makes an arbitrary and therefore

police powers.
