AT THE SOUTH POLE.

So it seems that it one of the race Of Vk-
ings after ALL who first to reach the South Pole
Out of the confusion of early information incident to
the first arrival Of Roald Amundsen, at Tasmania
comes at last the definite statement that the Norwe
gian himself claims the honor Of having reached the
southern apex of the world on the 18th Of last
December.
No satisfactory explanation is forthcoming yet
as to how the rumor first gained currency that he
merely the messenger of SCOTS success, and the
world is busy specializing, first whether the English
has also reached the pole and if so, is there to
be anything like repetition of the Cook-Peary con-
troversy.
This in itself would be extremely unfortunate,
and yet if both successful in reaching the pole,
the possibility of utilizing whatever resources may
lie there will be made more apparent by the ease Of
access There is a reasonable certainty that the eX-
petitions will bear scientific fruit, and it is not i'm
probable that, with further advance of science, the
mineral deposits, such may be expected to exist
at the South Pole, will one day prove of commercial
value
Immediate interest centers on the glory Of
the achievement however and the general public
is keen to know whether Amundsen is to go down in
history with double fame, if he must share the
later achievement with the hardy English sailor who
has already accomplished much in Antarctic dis
coVery.

READY FOR A TROUGH HOUSE."

Seven thousand Republicans, in the Fifth Con-
gressona district of Missouri, yesterday voted at
primary election They were provided with ballots
on which to indicate their Presidential preferences
and by a terrific majority declared for Roosevelt
Fifteen to one in favor Of the former President is
the reported ratio
On the same day, the Republican machine of Ala
bama held its State convention and selected dele
gates to the same convention.
The Alabama machine is composed almost abso
lutey of Federal ofceholders. Of course it selected
Taft delegation.
Observe, now, the attitude of the Taft manage
ment toward these two conventions.
The Alabama convention is hailed as a great vic
tory for the Administration. Another State joins
the Taft forces"
But the Fifth Missouri primary is denounced as
Illegal" and the Taft people announce that they
will hold rump convention, independent Of the pri-
mary and its instructions, and name a delegation
which will contest for the seats.
Alabama's ofticehoding ogarchy is legal, regular
and praseworthy!
Mssouri's thousands of Republican voters, who
hold orderly primary and vote their sentiments,
are Illegal"
That is the game the Republican party must buck
reactonaries.
1t is the same everywhere. In an Illinois case,
where Presidential preference primary was ar
ranged for under order of judge the Taft people
denounced as unauthorized and threaten in juno
ton proceedings.
A delightful performance, truly, for the gang
that is assuming divine commission to save our
courts!
1t is the avowed intention of the Taft outfit to
steam-roller and rough-house itself into control, by
whatever procedure may be necessary. The limit
has been taken off, There will be hesitation at
nothing. The poor old Republican party is to be
assassnated the convention else asphyxiated at
the polls. That is the choice the Taft machine is
permitting to it.
1t is good thing to have such particularly rank
performance as this denial of the Fifth Missouri pri
mary for it will inevitably rouse resentment that must
weaken the Taft people in the national committee
When it comes to stealing delegates in Northern dis
trcts that represent real Republican constituencies
there will be revolt The rough-house game is one
that cannot be carried too far.

WHAT'S IN AN EGG?

Five billion seven hundred mon That's the
addition to. the population in your body when
you take your morning egg at breakfast, if
it happens to be in the condition Of one that was
found in ST. Louis the other day. when the inspector
seized containing twenty dozen or more of the
same. He wanted to find out exactly how many
bacteria there in the eggs, and he got expert
tc work it out, leaving off the decmals. The above
is the result for egg Anybody who likes that
kind of thing figure out how many there were in
that case. 1t looks rather bad, doesn't it, for egg
consumers?
But cheer up there about five billion others
specially organized to take of and duly eat up
these five billion, that when the cruel war is over
you remain just about where you we're, except that
you out the 60 cents per dozen, or whatever it
was you paid for the eggs There a time when
shuddered at these millions of microbes closing in
upon us, but it is gone. The only thing that we
really fear is that time these opposing armies
will fraternze and then the thing will be over. In
fact, our doctor confdentiay advises us that plain
stomach ache is merely just this fraternzing of the
opposing bacterial armies. 1t helps little to know
just that much anyhow.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:

dislike to argue Gods word. but it is

to get behind him.
WhOsOevCr. therefore. shall confess me be
fore men, him will ] confess also before my
Father. which is in Heaven. But whatsoever
shall deny me before men, him will | also
deny before my Father which Is in Heaven.
Just such men as these our Heavenly
Father said in the latter days would
appear, walking in the lust of the flesh
and the imagination or their evil hearts.
They arc the instrument of Satan try

DEFENSE OF THE ATHEIST

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In the Mail Bag OF the 18th there ap-
pears a letter signed Rachael" which
deserves consideration because OF the
many questions it raises. The central
person of the letter is a precocious boy
who is apparently credited with pos
sessing truth and wisdom in greater
measure than many men and women
even than of his own mother. Pre-.
cocious Tommy, naturally inquisitive,
has heard his father reading the letters
in the Mail Bag upon religious ques-
tions, and being eager to know the
character of atheists asks his pa rents,

PRESENTS HIS REASONS
AGAINST THIRD TERM
To the Editor of THE TIMES.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Colonel Roosevelt is quoted as saying
In Boston that the only objection to q
third term arises out of the prese mt
convention system Of electing delegates.
This Is absurd. The objection to a third
term existed long before there was any
convention system OF nominating for
the Presidency. Colonel Roosevelt hiu-
self Is one of the strongest proofs that
the longer the tenure of enormous
power, the longer the possessor desires
to retain II, and the more strongly he
thinks that nobody else in the land is
qualified to exercise II. That is the
great objection.
His chief argument now seems to he
lhat only consecutive third term ia OBJ
jectionable. THIS is equally absurd. An
ambitious many aiming, consciously CT
unconsciously at lifelong rule might
ccontrtve to put a CHAR warmer in
his place for ono term, while ne plot
ted and fattered the people to return
him to power. Porfirio Dlaz, after his
first term as President Of Mexico, from
| 1871 TO 1870, allowed enc Manuel Con
zslez to be elected President for one
term, uni! 1884, when Diaz was again
elected to the Presidency, and II took
a civil war to pry him loose, nearly
thirty years nftervard. The "Teddy-
islAs' should not be allowed to bring
any similar calamity Upon this country,

WOULDN'T MARRY A JAY.

pretty but unhappy young woman, out in Kan
sas killing time while she waited for her divorce
by reading matrimonial paper in the columns Of
which she found mention of an amiable gentleman
of forty-odd who owned a we'll irrigated farm in
California.
When she wasn't testfying in court in regard to
the al-round cussedness of her liege lord she was
writing mash notes to the gentleman the Pacific
slope, and by the time she free she was ready
to enter into second captivity provided the settle
ment of the property made satisfactory. The
Pacific coast gentleman was anxious to please, and
as an evidence of good faith he contributed large
part of the funds which paid for the DIVORCE footed
the bills for the new rousseau, and agreed that his
future wifes mother should live with them.
Coming to California-on the money he had
sent-she looked him up side and down the
other and then fatty announced that he was such
a Jay" that she wouldn't even walk down the street
with him, much less marry him and try to live hap
PLY ever after on the irrigated farm.
OF course, one reflection suggested by the unto
ward incident is the uncertainty of the matches made
through the medium of the matr lonal paper where
flattering lkeneSses and exalted descriptions lend
but an imperfect view of the real state of the case
Even the autobographies which appear in the Con-
gressional Directory give us but faint glimpse of
the real subjects thereof.
But the more nsistent query would be- What is
jay? Is he sort of good-naured individual who has
no better sense than to believe that lady who would
become engaged to man, whom she had never
seen, before the first divorce cold, the idea
sort of person to become the chaeIaine of a vel
irrigated farm and try lay up meat for the winter
by diligence in the summer? Or did he simply lacE

manicure after the most approved fashion of an
elite Kansas village7
Of course, the lady in question is fond of that
sort Of sentiment which maintains that kind hearts
than coronets," ETC., ct al, ad infnitum.
But when it comes down to brass lacks she is rather
fncal about the limousine and not so strong on the
kindness of heart.
The Californian is temporarily bemoaning the
outlay for the divorce the railroad tickets, and the
trousseau but when he arrives at years of discretion
il he ever does, he will be devouty grateful that he
was able to hold on to the farm, and to realize that
he is only jay and not the permanent disbursng
