One of the paintings was of a cariboupin valley at sunrise and the other was of a moose standing with head erect in all the glory Of the seI- ting sun.

LISTENING ON THE WIRE,

great Yenial sin of the farming dis

never forgiven. They listen on the

they would rather admit it than have
the pleasure taken away from them.
All this came out when the tele-
phone company offered to give Byron
an up-to-date system, with individual
service, a no increase in cost. To
the amazement of the public utilities

the apparent boon. Questioned, they

CRITICS OF EXPLORATION

The National Geographic Society
is to be congratulated on the clever
ness with which it has defended the
Claims of the Roosevelt party to hav-
ing discovered a new river in Brazil.
The, society's bulletin on the subject
announces it's purpose and readiness
to accept, prima facie, whatever
statement is made on behalf of the
Roosevelt expedition; points out that
Colonel Roosevelt is skilled and eX-
perienced explorer. thoroughly ia
miliar with the best methods of do
ing such work, and employing al
ways the most scientific methods.
So far, so good. But the best
thing in the statement is the allu-
sion to the fact that those British
armchair explorers who are just
now pointing out why Roosevelt can
not possibly he right, represent the
same view that was taken years ago
by the same authorities when an
American explorer came home from
long and tortuous voyage in the
far South and announced that there
was an Antarctic continent. That
was quite too much for the serious
consideration of the hothousc eX-
plorers of Great Britain. The very
idea that a whole continent could
have been tucked away in a corner
of the world, and concealed from
Englishmen, only to be discovered by
an American! 1t was quite too pre-
posterous. There was no such con-
tinent, and the American who
thought he had found it had bats in
his upper story, or else was joshing
the world!
Yet the Antarctic continent is now
established net only as a fact, but
as 8 bigger body of land than was at
Grst supposed. 1t has been explored
in fragmentary fashion by various
British and other travellers, the South
Pole has been located not very far
from its center, and a large incre-
ment of glory has been claimed-say
nothing of territorial rights-for the
Britishers who took the trouble to
prove that the geographical authori-
ties were mistaken.
Colonel Roosevelt's river cannot be
permitted to be wiped off the map by
the dictuIn of the same scientists
who couldn't see a whole continent
after it had been pointed out to
them.

decade been trying to secure consent
from Congress to reorganlze Its
property's finances as Hartman and
his associates reorganized the Alton
railroad; that is, to hoist the capital
iAation high enough to absorb all the
earnings.
We must decline to accept the
judgment of M. Reside concerning
the safe models for conduct of public
utilities. He is a very amiable and
engaging gentleman, who makes the
plausible best of a poor case, but he
is arguing against all the tendencies
of the times. and against the con-
cluded opinions of this community.

PASS THESE MEASURES!

There may be some excellent rea-
sons for hurrying the adjournment
Of Congress, but none of them is good
enough to justify ending the session
before the conservation measures
now reported from the House Public
Lands Committee shall have passed.
With all Difference to pet features of
the Administration program, the
opinion is ventured that more people
are concerned in behalf of these con-
servation bills than in behalf of
trades commission and antitrust
acts.
For a decade or thereabouts these
.,roblems of dealing with the public
,ands, both in the States and in
.ilaska, have been before Congress
md the country. They have been
considered from every angle. There
is no need for longer delay. Secre-
t7ry Lane has given his approval to
a series of measures for control of
water powers, Alaskan lands, and
other details of public land admin
lstraticn. There is every reason for
confidence that the measures are safe
md desirable. They have been re-
ported from the House committee.
Frc Western States and the great
Northwestern territory need to have
their opportunity of progress and
development restored to them, and
these measures will do very much
toward restoring it.
President Wilson has indicated
hat he would be glad to see these
bills become laws at the current ses-
lion, but it is not understood that
ne includes them in the program on
which he insists. Probably they will
rot be passed unless they are brought
within the irreducible minimum of
"rpcutive demands. There is enough
md violent opposition to prevent
their passage unless the whole power
Of the Administration is placed be-
lind them. Every consideration of
i:c real public interest of the great
West demands that this be done.

ARGENTINE MEATS
QUALITY.

Congressman Haugen has been
making soma inquiries as to the act
ual quality of Argentine beef when
brought into our markets, compared
to the standard American product.
He doesn't feel at all certain that the
American corn-finished steer is Sc
cure against the possible competition
of the Argentine brute. He has been
selling some mid Western cattle Of
bis own production in the Chicago
market, in competition with Argen-
tire meat, and is not cheered by the
showing. He told the story in re-
cent Congressional Record.
The first carload of Argentine
dressed beef reached Chicago in
March, and the commission dealers
at that market reported that it was
above expectations, comparing favor
ably with steers selling here from So
to SS.40."
A week after that report was
made, Mr.. Haugen had his own Iowa
cattle, finished on corn for six
months, sent to Chicago. They sold
some at 81 and some at S7.40; that
is, 81 per hundred. weight below the
calculated value of the Argentine
meat of the week bsfores
A few months ago it was promised
that Argentine meat might sell oc-
casionally in cities along the Allan
tic coast, but OF course could not go
inland ard compete in the great
markets. Now we learn that it has
gone to Chicago and sold on terms
that suggest strong doubt whether
American meat has any advantage
at all. 1t looks like carrying Goals
TO Newcastle; but if the Goals sell
profitably, even in Newcastle, the
importations doubtless will continue.
