Bartlett and Amundsen Par

Summer of 1877
REAR ADMIRAL PEARY
GREATLY INTERESTED
It Is Understood That 100000 Has
Been Raised for the American Expedi-
tion-Both Explorers Will Have New
Ships for Their Ventures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Ar
rangemants for the American Polar ex-
petition to be headed by Capt. Robert
\. Bartlett, Peary' 5 navigator, on his
dash to the North Pole have progressed
to the point where the expedition, which
is to be similar to another to be led by
Capt. ROAD Amundsen, discoverer of
the South Pole, may get away next
summer.
Rear Admiral Peary, who returned
yesterday from New York, where he
conferred with Amundsen and Bartlett,
understands that sufficient money has
been subscribed privately to carry
through the expedition, which probably
will cost about 100000. Amundsen 5
expedition is being organized III Nor
way and will cost about as much.
Both will be prepared to stay on the
Ice from three to five years to make d
scientific study of physical condition,
in the central polar regions. Starting
from different points, the expeditions
intend to drift across the North Polar
ocean and possibly may meet or pass.
Both explorers will have new Ship
| built expressly for their work-Amund

Nothing equals an aureole of
beautiful hair as a frame for a
pretty face Without back ground
of nice hair really pretty face
frequently becomes plain but, with
it, unattractive features assume
life and beauty.
Every woman can increase her
natural charm by using Newbro's
Herpicide. Herpicide makes hair
beautiful. Dandruff saps the vi
tality of the hair. Herpicide applied
intelligently and regularly, checks
this destruction of hair life and
prevents the hair from falling out,
giving it snap and luster, soft
silky fiuffiness which can be ac-
quired in no other way.
Applications may be obtained at the
best barber shops and hair dressing
par!ors.
1t IS guaranteed by The herpicide Co.
Sold everywhere.

Scarcity of Stove Wood.

Stove wood is a scarcer article here
abouts than II has been at any time in
the past several years. Dry hard wood
is practically out of the market. due
to the fact that very little was cut last
winter, owing to the scarcity and high
price of labor. \ few years ago there
were many choppers in this locality
but at the present time there are very
few available and these obtain $1.75
and $500 per cord for chopping.

the National Geographic society. Both
will use airplanes and have the &C
tive cooperation of the Aero Club of
America in forming their equipment
of airplanes and aviators.
Bartlett s American expedition will
enter the Polar ocean by way of Be
ring Straits. Amundsen will enter by
the route north of Norway and the
Karaza.
Arrangements will be made for CO.
ordination of the scientific observa-
tons of the two expeditions. With the
aid of their aviation equipment they
may be able to complete the geographi-
cal reconnaissance of the entire North
Polar ocean and it is possible
that in the event Of the crushing of
either one of the ships by the ice the
airplanes may be instrumental III en-
abling one crew to reach the other
ship by establishing direct communica-
tlon and carrying supplies.
| Admiral Peary said he considered the
/ expeditions were under the command
! of two of the most famous and expert
enced of living Polar navigators and
presented possibilities of great scientif-
ic Importance.
If the work of the airplanes is salts
factory it would make possible the cir

Bartlett returns successful from thi,

We have repeatedly referred to the
nuisance caused by the use of the
muller cut-out on automobiles on our
streets and importuned Town Council
TO prohibit the use Of same on the
streets Of Smyrna under penalty Of the
law. Some members. we are glad to
say, have been considering such move
but so far no ordinance has been PASS
ed. The Philadelphia Record in dis.
cussing the recent new traffic ordin-
ance in that city. says with charac-
terstic emphasis: Prohibition of the
muller cut-out ought also to be en-
forced There is no reason why a
motorist. taking the light grades
characteristic Of Philadelphia streets,
should imagine that he ia at the
throttle Of a locomotive pulling train
Of cars out Of Broai Street terminal
and rip the arr with his engines ehug.
regardless Of the peace of the neigh
borhood Cutting out the muller is
a nuisance that never is necessary in
this city. an4 ought to be penalized.
The ordinance, if enforced to the let.
ter, will in r. sense handicap sane
automobile riding. and the reckless
driver needs restraint of drastic
sort. -

Union Agitation Blazes Path
Through Injunction Jungle
Judge Dickson of St. Paul, Refused Enjon Striking
Building Trades Craftsmen.

St Paul, Minn.-Judge Dickson, of
fused to enjoin striking building crafts
devoid of specific facts and consists so
of no force as evidence upon which to
base the temporary injunction"
Attorney Walter G.. Merritt, of the
American Anti Boycott association, was
commander-in in-chief of the employers
known non-union advocate was the usu-
business, unlawful conspiracy, boycott
ting, etc, etc.
The court refused to be trapped by
phrasings that have so often proved ef-
fective with judges more interested in
protecting a dollar than human right.
None of the acts with which the de-
PENDANTS are charged in the volumnous
complaint are unlawful" said the court.
ANY man may refuse to work for or
deal with another man, handle his prod
ucts, or work with his tools for any rea-
son sufficient unto himself; and what he
can do in this respect individually he
can do collectively by agreement with
others and through federated agency"
This sentiment has been persistently
urged by organized labor and has been
placed in the labor sections of the Clay
ton law by the United States congress.
In answering the ants claim that Or
ganized labor is an unlawful conspir-
acy in restraint of trade and competi-
ton in violation of the penal statutes of
Minnesota" the court gave Attorney
Merritt a needed lesson in fundamental
law when he said "lf this is so, it is
matter for the attorney general to take
up on behalf of the State"
Unlawful conspiracy, like fraudulent
intent is a psychological fact, a state
of mind, and its existence can only be
shown by the overt facts, acts and con
duct of the alleged conspirators The
ultimate fact of conspiracy is always a
conclusion and, therefore, to enable a
court to determine whether or not gen
eral charge of conspiracy is true the
overt facts, acts and conduct from which
the pleader's conclusion is deduced must
be alleged. There are no specific facts
alleged in this complaint, and, therefore,
it is Of no force as evidence on which TO
base a temporary injunction and cannot
be considered as basis of the instant
motion.

the claim that union men will be coerced

RESULT OF EUROPEAN WAR.

Manchester, England.-In an article
on the work that confronts trade union
ism and especially trade union eXecu-
tives, at the close of the present war,
the Typographical Circular, official pa
per of the Typographical association,
says:
"The labor market has been thrown
into a state OF pi,' and all the special
iZed lines have been overturned and in
termingled that one does not know
where the skilled mechanic ends and
the unskilled laborer begins. Semi
skilled and .dilution have been added
to the industrial vocabulary, collective
bargaining has been suspended, the de-
fensive strike and sympathetic lockout
forbidden, relaxation of trade union
rules enforced factory acts hung up,
female engineers tolerated, government
control OF workshops accepted, profits
restricted and machinery and tools
scrapped as of no present use. Such is
the jumble-hive set up to replace the
old one capsized.'
The Typographical Circular is far
from being discouraged however, at the
complete overthrow of old practices, as
the following indicates:
But with a conciliatory basis OF ac-
tion, and a patient mood on the part OF
workmen and executives, all will go well
in the end, though gradual and slow must
be the process. 1t should not be forgot
ten that the present era of push is not
wealth-producing one, but one set up
for the purpose OF forging weapons to
destroy wealth; and when the time OF
wealth-producing industry returns TO
supplant the present artificial era OF
wealth destruction, executives will, If
they are Of tactful and conciliatory cal
ibre, considerably Tighten the task they
will be called upon to undertake in their
/ endeavor to secure for the union its
former status
