Capt. Amundsen commented on
the existence of and sud
den mountain storms that sweep
around the Antarctic rags, and said
it was possible Scott was caught in
one of these. Amundsen's party was
often greatly alarmed by these sud
den changes in the elements, par
ticularly when crossing Devils Bend,
which then vas a great sheet of ice
that sounded hollow under the feet.
Amundsen sent men ahead to test this
ice. When the temperature fell rapid

In an attempt to drive Diaz from his
hold on the citadel, 800 Rurales made
an attack. Diaz turned the machine
guns on the approaching force, killing
thirty of them. They then r~etreated.
Diaz's inactivity has been criticised,
but it is believed that he refrained
from a further attack on the palace,
fearing that much innocent blood
would be shed.
Several committees carrying white
flags visited Diaz. It is supposed that
they represented several different

Much interest is being taken in
Trenton in the news that comes from
Passaic. Brigadier General Bird w.
Spencer, Inspector-Genera of rife
practice of New Jersey and former
mayor of Passaic, reused the ire Of
Mayor George N. Seger and the other
four city commissioners because of his
statement at the suffrage rally in the
Montauk Theatre recently to the eff
feet that if women had the vote the;
brewers would not control the policy
of the Passaic city administration.
Mayor Seger occupied a box at the
meeting. He took up the statement
at once and sent an identical letter
to each of the commissioners. There
is no disposition on the part of any
one" he explained in it, "to dictate
The policies of my department, and /.
would be interested to know whether
such influences are at work in the
department over which you preside"
The responses of the commissioners
all brought forth denials of the
charges. ]. Hosey Osborn, director of
revenue and finance, submitted a state
ment in which he showed that the rev.
enues from the liquor interests during
the time the commission had been in
office have greatly Increased both

More judges Needed.

The Legislature has before it a prop
osition to add another ce-Chancellor
to the Court of Chancery to help con-
duct the business of the Equity Court
with the promptness and thoroughness
which is required. Presumably, the
suggestion will be adopted. The pres
ent judges in Chancery are occupied
constantly, and there are occasional
delays due to their inability to meet
the steadily increasing demands upon
their attention. The Chancery Court
should always be on tap, ready to meet
every emergency. The additional
cost means a saving; every judge
earns his pay.

Senator Thornton is credited as
having said that President Wilson
knows little of sugar protection and
that what little he knows is second
hand information. In discussing the
Presidents attitude toward free SUI
gar, Senator Thornton said that Mr..
Wilson at first was satisfied that
free sugar in three years would not
destroy the Louisiana industry, be-
cause the planters would be able to
make methods of production more
efficient. Senator Thornton said if
the President knew of anything that
he would make sugar production
more efficient he (the senator from
Louisiana) would like very much to
know what that method was"
But when the three-year clause
was rejected by the Louisiana sugar
interests, all that was left to be done
was to urge the progress of free su-
gar, without the three years limit.
1t would now seem that an effort is
being directed to resuscitate the
three years limit which may be ac-
Ceptable for the sake of harmony,
provided Senator Thornton and Sen
asor Ransdell will vote with the
Democrats instead of with the Re-
publicans.

The LOBBYISTS at Washington.

When President Wilson denounced
the presence at Washington OF the
venal and vicious lobbyists, he pro-
yOked the risibles of the individuals
at whom this verbal indictment was
directed. 1t would seem that Presl-
dent Wilson was better informed
than his critics believed and as re-
suit there has been unmasked CO.
terie of representative and hire
lings of corporations and of indus
tries which are inimical to revis-
ion of the tariff downward.
Of the most jealous are the sugar
interests, who would not scrupie to
overWhelm President Wilson's ad-
ministration with humiliation and
ultimate defeat if they could attain
their selfish greed.
D.. There are lobbyists and lobbyists,
but these fellows, the hirelings OF
special interests, should have nc
countenance in Washington. Indeed
they should be booted out whenever
they venture their presence within
the walls of the United States Sen
ate. The lobbyists in any guise or
for whatever purpose designed
should not be tolerated since he is
at best meddler, an interloper, and
reflects discredit of the congress

with the sole aim of influencing him
to some scheme in which he is in
terested or of which he is the hire
ling.
. The congressman or the senator
who may be susceptible to the sug-
Sestion or to the advice volunteered
by the lobbyists as to his duty, is
unworthy of his trust and he should
resign and retire to his home.
In the progress of the develop
ment of the schemes of the lobbyists
there has been evidenced a scheme,
which is neither new nor original,
whereby congressman and senator's
are flooded with literature. syndi-
Gated, as being protests from farm
