and reserve" the most likely key to the mystery is found.
 This. conclusion is borne out by other facts No dogs had been taken along for drawing the sledges con- taining the supplies. Captain Scott had relied upon strong, picked men for this work, and one of the most pathetic parts of the narrative is the one telling that Seaman Evans, who had been picked for the final dash to the pole because of his extraordinary strength and endurance, was the first to succumb The loss of such a man to the transportation service must have been severely felt Polar dogs. as often proved in Peary's long experience, are tireless and enduring. Employing them would have forced a considerable increase in the bulk of food supply, but faster time would have been made and, in the las: eK- tremity, the dogs themselves could have been eaten. This is one of the saddest stories in all the long sad history Of polar explorations. The glory these men won in getting there would hardly have been lessened in being shared with others who got there few days earlier And that pathetic and repeated note in the diary in which the dying com-. mander wrote his hope that England would not allow their dependent ones to suffer is something more than hope. It is prophecy.

A RECALL FOR PRESIDENTS

In proposing an amendment to the constitution recalling presidents, Sem ator Bristow of Kansas is either a bold. bad man or he is a wag. If a recall had been in operation in 1910 Mir Taft would have been thrust out of office, but probably that would have been to the Kansas senator's liking. Had there been such a prop osition in effect decade and a half ago President Cleveland would have been retired in 1894, and the silver men of both parties would have had revenge upon him for taking hold of a Congress which wanted more sil- yer and compelling it to stop silver purchases of all sorts. Harrison would have been turned out in 1890 for signing the Mckinley tariff, while for one reason or another, or for no reason, Arthur in 1882, Hayes in 1878 and Grant in 1874 would have been forced to walk the plank
 Tt is evident that the people are not enthusiastically in favor of this administration" exclaimed Lincoln to Henry J. Raymond of the New York Times when the returns from the congressional election of 1862 reach ed the White House. His judgment was correct. The Republicans, in deed, retained control of the House

of Representatives, but they lost seats in that body as compared with the election of 1860, while the Demo crats almost doubled their strength in that chamber Many states which Lincoln had carried in 1860, including New York. declared against him in 1862 on governor or other state off cers. It was a blow at the Lincoln administration, recognized as such by Lincoln himself, as we'll as by all the prominent newspapers of the Northern States, Republican and De mocratic Among the press of Rich mond, Charleston and other Confed- crate centers there was rejoicing at the Republican setback. CT FE
 Leaving out all considerations re lating to the bad or the good effects of change of presidents in the case of Taft, Harrison, Arthur, Hayes and Grant, at the dates mentioned, what benefit to the country could have re- suited from the deposition of Cleve- land at the moment when he had won his fight for honest money against an overwhelming majority of his party, and thus helped to place the country's currency on the sound basis which it holds today? How would the cause of liberty and prog ress have been served if the Bristow folly had been in effect in 1862? France, England and the rest of monarchial Europe would have inn mediately recognized the independ
 ence of the Southern States Backed up by Louis Napo1eon's bayonets, Maximilian would have established his empire in Mexico, the Monroe doctrine wuold have been overthrown in many parts of Latin America, Alaska would have remained with Russia, Spain's flag would be flying over Cuba and Porto Rico still, or perhaps England's;, two. or three fec ble and warning nations would be here, and there would be no inde- structible union of indestructible states, with its o6,OOO,OO0 people on the mainland, like that which is with us today. ss-J la,l<sif si-.

SADDEST OF POLAR TRACE
 DIES.

Captain Scott and four of his com
 panions of the English South Pole
 expedition died, on the return trip
 from the pole, within eleven miles
 of one of the supply depots establish
 ed along the route. That distance
 is infinitely greater in polar explo-
 ration than under ordinary conditions. or even under other extraordinary
 conditions imposing great hardships
 and making progress difficulty and
 slow But the picked ren of their
 sort, trained in the work of dealing
 with such situations. inured to hard
 ship and privation, and of proved
 courage and resourcefulness, such a
 distance would not have been insur- mountable except under conditions unforeseen and unprovided for. Cap
 tain Scott, in a diary reported to have been found by the rescue ex- petition when his dead body and those of two of his companions were discovered in a tent, while claiming that his plan of organiza- ton had been fauItless, and attribut- ing the disaster to a series of urtow- ard circumstances, makes the signi- 6cant admission that he had been obliged to start later than I intend ed and obliged the limits of stuff transported to be narrowed
 If this record shall prove to be authentic, we shall be able to under stand why these men died after ac- complaining the object of the expedi- ton in the discovery of the South | Pole, and the discovery, also, that kmundsen, the Norwegian explorer, had been there before them. How | ever bitter this latter discovery must | have been to such men, at the end of such trials, they were not of sort to wilt under disappointment The failure of their food supply is plain ly indicated if this alleged record is to be relied upon, and really, leaving the memorandum entirely out of con sideration, it is not easy to explain their fate in any other way. Itl seems reasonably clear that on reaching the point where the bodies of the commander and his two com panions were found, they were so far exhausted by hunger that they were incapable of undertaking to travel the few miles between them and an abundance The narrative given out as one written by the commanders hand shows him to have been conscious of their inevita- ble fate It attributes the failure in getting back to a series of unIucky events in which unexpected weather conditions played prominent part, but in writing, "We fought these un- toward events with a will, and con quered, but it ate into our provisions

THE ISSUE AT coNsTANTI-
 NOPLE. '- -'-'

On the side of Constantinople the
 war is being waged for the nainten-
 ance of the ascendancy of the Young
 Turks, and not for the retention oi
 Adrianople. The Turkish cabinet
 realizes that Adrianople will be lost
 in any event. but the fight which is
 being made to hold it is for the pur- pose of pillorying the Old Turks, who would have surrendered it sew eral weeks ago, without making a serious attempt to defend it The Young Turks are fighting to show their countrymen that they are bet ter patriots than were the element which they recently overthrow, and thus hope to prolong their supre- macy .-.
 Peace talk is heard from London again, and probably this will mean something just as soon as the ruling faction in Constantinople believes that it can maintain itself if it gives up four-hfths of its territory in Flu rope to the allies. The Old Turks offered to surrender it, and on this account they were assailed by the faction now in the ascendant. This faction has already done enough fighting to show that it is in earnest, and that it will stand out as long as human endurance permits. When it gives up it will merely surrender to the inevitable, It will give way to overwhelming force. as comprised in the armies of the allies. backed up, as the latter are, by the great pow CTS. ...s.
 The unanimity of the concert of the powers in sustaining Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and Greece is the large factor in the Balkan situa- ton. The big nations have brought pressure in several shapes on Turkey to make peace with her enemies by surrendering Adrianople and the oth- CT territory which they demanded. The powers even threatened that if Turkey continued her contumacy it would be in danger of assault in Asia. While the threat of possible men ace fram Asia is vain, and Turkey knows it to be so, the insistence of he powers on the other points is of significance for the Otto nan chiefs. Nobody in Europe says ! good word for them, although Aus ria is anxious that, in the adjust nent, they shall not be treated too
