SCOTT VS.. AMUNDSEN.

From the New York Times
We have gathered together" Scott
said on the eve of the British antarc-
tic expedition, "a set of men who WIN
represent the hardihood and the energy
of our race"
In sheer daring and accomplishment
these men equaled the Norsemen, and
their pathetic death testffies that they
had won their way through greater
hardships. Amundsen's dash to and
from the POLE was made for. the most
part under ideal conditions of weather
and travel Our sleds forged ahead
to perfection" he says: "the weather
was beautiful; we daily covered seven
teen miles" Besides. he had Eskimo
dogs and skis. Scott's motor sleds and
ponies were of no avail on his South
ern trip, and the scurvy that seized
upon Lieut.. Evans, who led his last
supporting partN may. have weakened
the leader and his comrades as they
dragged their packs over a rougher
trail in the rigors of an advancing
season. They suffered, and they sue
cumbed.
Bat they also bore on this latest Of
great explorations the best brains and
instruments for their purpose of the
age. Conceivably, the feat Amundsen
accomplished his Viking ancestors
might have done, for his dash pole
ward and back represented mainly the
physical stamina and simple craft of .
hardy race. In DIR. Wilson, who
reached the pole with Scott and died
with him. to these sturdy primitive
qualities were added the great author
ity Of science, and his case was typical
of the formidable body of biologists,
engineers. biologists, artists. bacteri-
ologists. chemists. meteorologists. and
biologists whom Capt Scott took with
him to make his expedition bear the
greatest possible scientific harvest"
The fruits of this carefully planned
and most complete expedition of mod
ern times are saved 20 the world. The
names of the brave leaders are imper-
ishable.

MUCH BUSINESS
BY LEGISLATURE
Brewers Divorced From the
Saloon Traffic by
Close Vote.
MONEY FOR PORTAGE LEvEE
Some Think the Ringing
Bill an Entering Wedge
on Tax Question.

By vote of 53 to A the assembly
on Wednesday voted that brewers
could not own saloons, licenses, fix

Colu mbia counties.
Captain j. p. Drew, Isaac Fort and

vides all ex penses Of those who fought
in the decisive battle of the Civil War
be paid while attending the anniver-
sary celebration next year. The bill
calls for an appropriation of $4,000.
The governor will sign the measure.
Most of the argument against the
bill to exempt the Ringiings and other
shows from the income tax on busi-
ness done outside of the state, was that
it was an entering wedge for other
lines of business to ask the same favor.
1t was shown that the license fees of
the show while on the road run TO
$4,000 month besides the taxes ON
the property at Baraboo. In the de-
bate Assemblyman Gulickson said
that the circus property represents
some $50, 900 and their net earnings
$150,0O0 which is la per cent as he
