FAIR AND KIND.

One of the most encouraging signs of
the times is the fair and kind manner
in which the Wilson administration is
treated by Republican newspapers
generally An able article recently
published in The Marinette Eagle Star
is alike creditable to that good news.
paper and to the profession of journal
ism, Here is one paragraph from the
article referred to:
THE Wilson family is brave and
natural enough to continue to consider
life in the White house, as 1t has been
to them in the home Of the college
town and later at the Governors man
sion in New Jersey, worth too much to
be vulgar and cheap and frivolous
They know by experience that the only
life worth living is one that is devoted
to human welfare and that cares fol
the things of culture and spiritual
worth"

of no scientific value. according to Sir
Ray Lancaster.
"There is no living thing on the ant

the seals and the penguins and few
other birds found on and near the
coast line and Il minute insect like the
so called glacier flea. together with a
few animalcuIes living in pools formed

Sir Ray. as director of the Natural

antarctic birds. etc. brought back
from the south polar continent by Cap

cry. and he has had official first hand
information as to the results of all the
explorations in that part of the globe.
Flowers would grow at the south
pole in summer If it We're not for the
mountains there. according to Profess
sor Lancaster. 1t is these mountains
that make the south pole so cold. The
south polar area is an elevated noun

dotted with brilliantly rolorcd flowers

distant from the north pole. In the
arctic region are seals. white bears

many small mammals and birds which
stray from the neighbOring continental

including towering plants. which find

From the very beginning of life on
the earth, it is asserted. the south pole
has been an uninhabted region. No
animals ever lived there. The deepest
digging will disclose no bones of ex-
tinct creatures. The antarctic CONT

whole earth where silence and mystery
have existed from the first. 1t is re-

when most i'll advised in their action
