Job, xxi, 33. FARRELL'S MARK AS SALESMAN Dlsttngulhsed Characteristic Of The New Head Ot S. Steei. fHolland," in Philadelphia Ledger. In the choice of James A.

Farrell as the successor of William. E. Corey as president Of the United States Steel Corporation are to be discovered commercial reasons which may become' of 'vital consequence in the international trade of the United States. One of the most striking features of our international, commerce for the year 1910 was the rapid advance in tbe export of manufactured products as distinguished from the necessities of life, like food and cotton. When the official figures are published it will probably be leurned that tbe money value of these manufactured exports was approximately equai to.

or even exceeded, the money value of our exports of food and cotton. Ten years ago a prediction that by the year 1910 tbe United States would have matched 'its exports of food products and cotton by its manufactured exports, would have been spoken of as a reckless prediction. Y'et today some very important factors have made this phenomenon possible. It was. of course, to be expected that In part high prices and in part greatly increased demands at home for food products would compel a reduc- Hon of our exports of these commodities.

But it was not expected that what we have lost in this commerce could be made good by the increase in our export of manufactured commodities. In this new export record the energy and peculiar ability as a great salesman which Mr. Farrell has revealed is one of the most important factors. To be a great salesman is to be a natural born diplomatist. A.

T. Stewart used to say that much higher ability is necessary for the marketing of commodities than for the manufacture of them or for tbe financing of a great business undertaking. The United States is beginning to educate young men who have natural ability for becoming great salesmen. The older generation educated themselves. In no feature of his later career has John W.

Gates shown himself superior to tbe ability he revealed as a master salesman in his younger'days. He was one of the ablest of American salesmen. William Clark matched the brilliant salesmen of Great Britain at the time the Australian Government was to award the contract for the equipment of its great arsenal. In South America some of the ablest of our salesmen are now busily occupied pursuing their persuasion which characterize the ablest diplomats. It has been as a masterly salesman and as a teacher and of subordinate salesmen that Mr.

Farrell has demonstrated his pre-eminent capacity to the executive authorities of the United States Steel Corporation. To be a salesman of this kind entails profound knowledge of the markets of the world, of the politics prevailing in various nations and of the personalities in authority in those nations This knowledge is at Mr. Farrell's instant command. There is probably iu New Y'ork today no one in business life who has at his tongue's end knowledge so far-reaching and accurate of commercial, industrial and political conditions in other nations as that which Mr. Farrell pos sesses.

How many more furnaces and plants of the United States Steel Corporation would have been shut down or put upon half time than was the case last year had it not been for Mr. Far successful approach to the foreign markets, the officers of this corporation may be able to teli. How much of our exports of manufactured products to for eign nations represents products of the United States yteel Corporation the books of that corporation may show. It is known, however, in a geueral way that, no small part of last year's exports of manufactured products represents the selling ability of Mr. Farrell arftl his subordinates in the foreign markets.

The clods of the valley aresweet to those Who have dreamed the dream of the country rose. They turn from the streets, with their stress and strife, To the quiet vales of the simple life, JThe streams and the hills and the birds a-wing In the beautiful woods of the far-on spring. The clods of the valley are sweet, are sweet, Are sweet for the hearts, ah me, That want to go down from the roaring street To the vales of the dreams of glee When temples have toppled and towns are dead, There Tl still be the clods of the valley to tread, When towers are in dust and the cities have gone, The clods in the valley will lead us to dawn, -And the hills will be singing, the trees will be there To shelter worn spirits from ache and from care. The clods of the valley shall glow, shall glow With the bloom, and the seed shall arise. And the world shall be sweet as a dream long ago Of the warm summer wind in the skies I know how their sweetness shall come unto him Whose eyes for the valleys are hungered and dim I know how the clods shall be stars in his path To lead him down there from the cities of wrath, To lead him from struggle and strife and unrest To the clods of the valley, the green valley's breast.

The clods of the valley, so gentle, so fair, Those green miles of peace with the blooms of the way, Like a vision of isles in the seas of blue air And a song in the fields like the loved song of May! The "clods of the valley, oh, over his head They will bloom with the roses that make them their bed We shall come to them after the task and the toil, We shall come to the vales, of the sweet bloomy soil, And our feet shall be bathed in the dews of the night As we alk the sweet dream of the valleys of light. The clods of the valley are sweet, are sweet, And their peace it is wronderf ul, fine, Where, instead of the rip and the roar of the street, There's a well-by the door, and a vine BUSICK.

In theory the Mayor la the central power to keep all the departments under a common "Control. But in practice it has been impossible, because the Mayor is not an engineer and if be were, be has neither time nor opportunity to direct various great worts of Construction. The Charter Commission of 1909 drafted a new charter which was generally approved, but was not enacted into law. Crosby suggests the appointment by the Mayor of a subcommittee of representative civil engineers to study those portions of the proposed new" Charter which relate to the engineering and construction work of the city, wth a view to devising some plan to avoid the manifest imperfection of the present complicated and expensive system or lack of system. JUSTICE FOR MIDSHIPMEN.

Tbe House of Representatives has several times passed a bill to commission midshipmen as ensigns In the navy upon graduation at th'e This measure has been favored by three secretaries of the navyand by experienced naval officers. Heretofore it bas been killed In the Senate. Now Senator John Walter Smith, of Maryland, a member of the Naval Committee and Senator from the State In- which the Naval Academy is situated, is taking a decided interest in the bill and is urging its passage. The enactment of such a law is a matter of simple justice. The course at the Naval Academy is a difficult and scientific one, and only, those who have some special aptness for the work can hope to get a diploma.

After four years of ar duous study the midshipman graduates at Annapolis, and then goes aboard ship to do the work of a junior officer, without the rank or pay of the officer and with no provision for his retirement and future care If he should be disabled in the discharge of his duty. He must ocsupy this anomalous and altogether uodei irable position for two long years, and then, if he passes the final examination, he gets his commission as ensign. Senator Smith's present efforts will receive the approval of all friends of the navy and of men who prefer justice to Injustice THE LADY GOVERNOR OF JERSEY Our compliments to Governoress Ida Phillips, of New Jersey. It will be a new sensation for that old State to have a lady Governor, even if it is for only twelve hours. It will be something to remember.

This event cannot be counted among the triumphs of woman suffrage, for the lady was not elected Governor, was not a candidate against Dr. Woodrow Wilson, and has never even voted. It is a question whether she ever wants to vote. She owes her opportunity to become acting Governor to an oversight of the. men who framed the State Constitution.

That man-made instrument provides that the term of the outgoing Governor shall, end at midnight, while the term of the Governor does not begin until be is inaugurated at noon the following day. Meanwhile there is no one to run the State's affairs except the private secretary to the Governor, who in this instance is Miss Phillips. They say she 's strikingly pretty, bright as a button, and knows more about running a State than does the average raw recruit of a Governor. It is fortunate for New Jersey that In this emergency it has a citlzeness who will grace the Governor's chair for one historic day and welcome Dr. W'oodrow Wilson to the place.

mm MISS OCTAVIA W. BATES. With the death of Miss Octavia Williams Bates there has passed away a distinguished citizen and a gentle stranger who has made for several years her borne in Baltimore. She was a woman who represented in ber life and thought the highest type of Christian and progressive womanhood. A bachelor of arts and of law, Miss Bates devoted her talents, her wealth and her strength to thg service of womanhood.

She was a member of the executive committee of the great International Council of Women held in London in 1899, where from Occident aud Orient the womanhood of the world assembled. In France at tbe last expositlou she again represented American women's organizations, and it was as a passing stranger, to address tbe International Convention of Secretaries of the King's Daughters in 1899, that she came to Baltimore. According to her own statement, the refined social atmosphere of the city and tbe warm-hearted hospitality of its people appealed to her so strongly that she resolved to make, and did make, Baltimore her permanent home and Baltimore's people ber people. The city has sustained a very real loss in ber death, and ber passing is mourned by many who loved her. TO GATHER THE WORLD'S A- A'lES IJV HAMPTON ROADS.

The proposal that the navies of the world be gathered in Hampton Roads, with the battleships of the United States, to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal ill meet with universal, approval. No matter where the exposition of 1915 is held, this naval review, coupled with a great national demonstration at the nation's capital, should open the celebration of that event. The advocates of New Orleans as well aa the champions of Sau Francisco will indorse the idea of the naval rendezvous in Hampton Roads. The measure introduced by Senator Swanson is framed as an amendment to any exposition bill that may be passed, and will provide for this gathering of the world's warships in Virginia waters. As neighbor, ally and next friend of Virginia, Maryland will join heartily in support of this project, and will contribute in every possible way to the success of the occasion.

Louisville Post the jieigist or tub sWxmn. -Tbat is a significant allegory we find In the Blbleot a man and a woman driven from their paradise and finding their way back toJC' burred by a flaming sword. It is figurative of ideas that from time Immemorial bare been deep-rooted in tbe human consciousness. is there a mythology or a creed that "does not speak of an age when men lived" In peace and happiness, unmarrcd by grief -or death? Where is there a people tbat has not hoped for a return of this golden ae of an age hen human Ills shall -be unknown? Men have always been dreaming of a paradise and, like Adam and Eve, have clearly seen it only behind them.

And If they took definite steps to realize this dream of theirs, they, again like Adam and Eve, found their way leading only to tbe whirling sword. The world's religions, those various guides to a better and higher life, have led to one gateway, though coming from different directions the gateway of tbe sword. Especially is this tbe eminence of the three historical faiths. Judaism, however pure and untainted in it3 later development, had its beginning as a corporate faith in violence. For proof read the Biblical account of the conquest of Canaan and tbe establishment of the Kingdom.

With the Mohammedan the cry ever was the Koran and the sword. The faithful who died on the field of battle died with the assurance that they ould receive the greatest reward. And as to the Cross, the merest acquaintance with its hihtory reveals it not alone as a symbol of sublime truths but also as a badge of war and conquest. All these have had the same object in common a better, a higher life; and all have used the same means of attaining it. The sword has had complete pud uninterrupted sway as a means of entering a better life.

In tbe annals of history it is the one key tf paradise that has been common, to all men. What has the world gained by it? One thing is clear: Men have not been made better by violence. With all my love for the early scenes in the-life of tbe Jews as a people, I turn with horror from those times when our aucestors believed that they had the divine right not only to kill their enemies but also the wives and children of their enemies, even totheir cattle. We owe much to the followers of Mohammed, it is true. Through them the world received the philosophy of the ancients and through them we have secured two distinct branches of mathematics, besides many contributions to the science of language.

But beyond these which, by the way, did not come to us except when Mohammedan rule for the time being put away the sword beyond these what was the direct effect of tbe Mohammedan faith that established itself by conquest? Nothing Lift an increase in the sum total of human misery. And as for the Church, hen it clothed itself with militant powers, forgetful of the sublime doctrines of Its projectors, who can estimate the full measure of agony it brought upon tbe world? Whatever benefit it gave to the world came only when it cast away the sword end put on the garbs of peace. Except for a glimmering light here and there shining in the closet of some hiding and hounded thinker, Europe for nearly one thousand years was in mental darkness, and it was precisely during those thousand years that the sway of the sword was most absolute. This shou'd be sufficient proof that the gates of Heaven are not to be taken by storm. It should convince; everyone that it the sword has reigned supreme it is now time that it should be dethroned.

Material force has failed to make the world better. On the contrary, whatever improvement has come to us has proceeded always from man's higher nature. The men who brandished the -sword received the glory, but it was the men who had visions of truth who made the real gala for the world. It is as the prophet puts tt, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." Tbe men ho could think, not those who could fight, were the men who brought blessings upon the human race. Weigh Aristotle on one scale and A'cxander on the other, and see to horn civilization is more indebted.

Or, If that is too far off in antiquity to make a profitable comparison, place all the noted military and naval heroes of the last hundred years On the one side and the great moralists, scientists and other men of thought on the other, and see from which side the world has received the greater and more lasting benefits. What distinguishes our modern world is the almost universal recognition of the authority of the moral law. Who gave it to the world people distinguished for its victories on tbe field of battle, or for its numerous martial heroes, or for its orld-wide conquests? Was it preached by men who walked the high places of tbe earth or who received universal homage? Far from it. The moral law tbat is the glory of our modern life was promulgated by a people who in ancient times never as much as enjoyed a little'briof authority iu the great councils of tbe nations, by a people who when possessed of a little power only abused it, by a people who realized their real destiny only iu preaching the message of peace these last twenty centuries that they have teen scattered over the whole world. Not the sword but truth shall reign.

Men arc beginning to realize now that a way to a better and higher human life lies not through war but through peace. Every religion, every denomination, clearly sees now the errors of the past and preaches and prays for universal peace. Thank God, the reigu of the sword is almost past. C. A.

RUBENSTJ5IN, Rabbi, liar Sinai Temple. SEED OP C'O-OllDISATIONIN CITY "WORK. The interview with Mr. W. W.

Crosby, the chief engineer of the State Roads Coni-miseion, which was published in The Sun last Sunday, opens up a subject which should attract public attention. It describes or refers to a defect in our city government that calls aloud for a remedy. By general consent It. was agreed before the last session of the General Assembly that the pres ent City Charter enacted in 1898 requires many amendments and changes which have been suggested by experience or a change in conditions. The fire of 1901 started the city upon various constructive works which have required the expenditure of millions of money, and millions are jet to bo expended In unfinished work.

In addition to these extraordinary works of public Improvement there is the regular work of construction under tbe charge of varices engineering departments. There is the work of paving the streets, of extending and maintaining the water service, of street improvements in the Annex and so on. The trouble comes, as Mr. Crosby points out, and as The Sun ha3 never ceased to point out, from a lack of co-ordination among the various departments. Some of them overlap and the various agencies frequently work at tross purposes.

This is not only irritating, but it is expensive. The construction work of tbe city involves tbe expenditure of nearly one-half of the city'revenues, and there is room for large economies. In the past the city government has greatly resembled that of the ancient heptarchy in England, and there are wheels within wheels. The street paving, instead of bejng under a single head, Is done by several distinct agencies, one having no relations with tbe other, while the city is paying for several organizations when one w-ould be more efficient. One department of tbe city builds a bridgethe North avenue bridge, for example and after it is done the Water Department comes along and spends a small fortune to dig through tbe arches to lay water mains.

The water engineer had not noticed the building of that magnificent until it was I competed, Many of the smooth pave- and addresses as evidence of good faith, but the names will not be made public without the consent of the contributors. Anonymous communicationa are never published. Work Of The State Roads Commission On Harford Road Commended By One Who Ues The Thorooglifare. Messrs. Editors: I have noticed recently numerous unfavorable criticisms in the local papers of the character jnd progress of the work being done by the State Roads Commission on the Harford road.

These criticisms have also been accompanied with reproductions of photographs which are far from showing the true conditions. The average person who read those articles and saw those pictures would naturally form a most unfavorable opinion of the State Roads Commission and its methods. As a daily user of this road and one who can express an unbiased opinion. I wish to state that the actual conditions on Harford road are far from bad in fact, the construction is advancing rapidly, and the contractor is to be congratulated in his perseverance In working during the bad weather, he having lost but five days since November 1. The road is not impassable, although mud in several places is a few Inches deeper than construction began in August.

To avoid the complaint of the fastidious driver the road.engm.ee. has gone so far as to get permission from the Baltimore City Water Department to use the Lake Montebello drive, thus avoiding all mud and making the approach to the city but a few hundred feet longer. What more can the public ask? If, in a public movement of this kind, everybody would help Instead of hinder the cause, tilings would move along more smoothly. If all the work under tbe supervision of the State Roads Commission is being conducted as well and as systematically as the construction on the Harford road, it Is not to bg reprimanded, but congratulated.

Harford, Jan. 13. "Oakland Democrat" Adds Ills Indorsement To The Proposition To Nominate Mr. Nnmsen For Mayor Messrs. Editors: I want to beg leave to write a few lines in reference to the candidacy of Mr.

George M. Nunisen, whose name has been mentioned In connection with the next Mayoralty of the city of Baltimore. I have been a reader of your valuable paper for fully 40 years, and am glad that you give the friends of the various candidates the opportunity to express their preference through your columns. I am glad to note that so many people are favorable to the nomination of Mr. Numsen.

The people of the State, as well as of the city, have had the opportunity to know the record of Mr. Numsen as a public official. He has shown himself to be a man of ability, faithful in all of his public duties, sober and sane, and no one has ever dared to point the finger of suspicion toward him as a public man. I don't think that the good old city of Baltimore could select a man to fill the executive chair who would be more acceptable than Mr. Numsen.

The county Democrats will say, Give us Numsen for Mayor and then we are reasonably sure of electing the next Governor, who, we hope, will fill the chair as ably and as efficiently as the present Governor has done. County Democrat. Oakland, Jan. 13. The Case Stated For The Woman Suffrage 1st a.

Messrs. Editors: The letter of "Another Member of tbe Organized Opposition'' fa The Sun of January 10 illustrates quite well the point at which the suffragists are driving. Assuming that be is a sincere and honest doubter, with no "ax to grind" by the defeat of woman suffrage, he thinks he is expressing his own opinion when he bunches women altogether in one class and labels them foolish, and irresponsible. As a matter of fact, be is, unconsciously, merely voicing the popular idea which has been promulgated by centuries of sex subordination. Women themselves have become so accustomed to this situation that they are inclined to place a low estimate on thei own merits and of their sex.

It Is only the high-grade individual who is able to rise above the dictates of a well-grounded prejudice. It is easy enough to follow in the beaten track of custom, but it takes a superior intelligence and initiative carve out a iew and better way. The anti-suffragist says Women are ignorant and unfit let them remain so. Or, those of them who go in for "civic education" propose no definite and feasible plan by which the education thus attained is to be applied to matters of government. Tbe suffragist says Woman is a rational, intelligent being, capable of tbe highest cultivation.

That her brain Ssnot inferior to man's is proved by the fact that Colleges are graduating as many females as males, and In these colleges women pursue the same course of study as men. We believe that enlightenment is better than ignorance, and that women, having gained that enlightenment, it is' tije part of wisdom for her to apply it in a direct manner to public affairs which affect her so closely rather than to be forced to depend upon an indifferent proxy.

CANNON MEETS MAY IRWIN It Costs Him Nothing, The Actress Assures Him. Washington Dispatch in the New York "Uncle Joe" Cannon, of spare frame aud grizzled mien, met Miss May Irwin, of rotund form and infectious" smile, today in the Speaker's office.

I don't have to pay anything." "It costs you nothing." said Miss Irwin. "But, Mr. Speaker, I've heard that you are something of a comedian yourself and I have often wanted to meet you, too."

1911 FIFTY-SIX PAGES. THIS LUADEUSHIP OP THE DAD, M'iL'UGD TO THE BENCH. The people of Baltimore are deeply interested In muiotalnlng the (standard of the bench. Over and over again It baa been demonstrated Jn this city tbat a large number of voters do not consider party at nil In choosing between nominees for tbe Judiciary. It Is this nice discrimination and popular Interest that baa prevented tbe bench from deteriorating.

It Is Increasingly difficult to Induce lawyers of the best type to abnndon a good practice for an 111 paid judicial office. And the primary system, Ahieh lis theoretically sound and which works well ith regard to almost all other oftk-cs, unfortunately does not tend to at tract aspirants of tbe best grade. It is none too early to give thoughtful and serious attention to the Judicial sltua tlon that will present Itself at the election iiejt fall. Already Ihcre ia disquieting talk of candidates in the primary that smacks of politics and private ambition and that, if successful, would weaken the bench. One of tbe possibilities that are referred to In the props is the retirement of Judge Henry Ntockbridge, whose term expires this year.

Judge Stockbrldge has served for fifteen years and has made an excellent record. Me ought to be returned without question. Ills miomlnutlon and election without contest urc Justified by both, precedent and merit. In thus indorsing the practice of re-electing a good Judge The Sun does not by any means Imply that because a man has occupied a place on tbe bencb he ought to bo returned as a matter of course. On the contrary, the rule of re-electing tbe good Judge would fall into disrepute If the poor Judge got the benefit of it.

Nothing could worse than permanently to encumber the bench with nil the poor material that found its way there. Tbe thing that is needed, especially since Judicial offices liave been brought under the primary system, is enlightened and cour-ngeoua leadership from the bur. Instead of individual lawyers yielding to the importunities of the candidate who happens to presenthls petition, tbeyshould get together aa a body and take such action as will command the respect and invite the eo-opera-t 1on of the lay community. While Individual lawyers may be beguiled Into weak compliance with the dictates of personal and I'Heudly interest, wa believe that the bar, acting as a whole, would approach a matter of such Importance with character and dignity. A strong leadership of this kind would go far toward removing a menace 1 bat Is apparent to every thoughtful citizen.

in DKMOC11ATIC ATII- Every Democratic leader in the United States was cordially invited to attend the celebration in Baltimore next Tuesday. The same invitation was extended to the Hon. William J. Bryan tbat was given Gov. ludson Harmon, Hon.

Champ Clark and Hon. Joseph W. Bailey, and there is no MUestion tbat If be bad done us the honor of accepting the eloquent Nebraskan would have received a cordial end enthusiastic welcome. No mau has more admirers in Maryland thau Dr. Woodrow Wilson, and it Is cause for regret tbat he is to be Inaugurated Governor or New Jersey on the cry khuh! day that the Baltimore celebration Is to be held.

This alone will prevent his attending. Nearly all the other great leaders of the party will be present, and it will be a notable gathering of strong, able and patriotic men vho will assemble here. Tbe suggestlou that the Baltimore celebration is In tbe Interest of any one element of the party or that it will "btart a hoom" for any particular candidate for President is eutircly erroneous. It would be too absurd to call for denial, bad not some persons of the opposition seen in the circulation of the report a possible opportunity to create a Utile dissension In the Democratic ranks. This effort of Republicans will defeat itself.

The party today la united and harmonious, the ranks are lomcd up, every element is in line, and the gathering in this city will emphasize not only the fact tbat there are no longer any "factions" but that tbe Democracy is moving forward as a united and enthusiastic whole. The public meetiug at the Lyric on Tuesday afternoon will bring together on one platform representatives of the West, the South, tbe North, tbe East orators aod moving forward together for the tood of the parly and the country- No itken of Baltimore, no visitor who appreciates oratory or Is interested in the affairs of his couutry, can afford to miss that meeting. It will be open to all, without fees or cards of admission a great democratic gathering tbat will demonstrate the interest of citizens In the movement to make ihts once more "a government of tbe peo-p'e, by the people, and for the people." 9 i MEMPHIS tllALLBSGll TO A HEAVYWEIGHT. Memphis is like a game rooster it does not besltate to tackle anything, no matter bat its weight or size. It asks no handl-'p, but pulls pff itn coat and goes right up against the heavyweight cities without a tremor.

While Baltimore neglected to gather in ita suburbs and never worried about population figures until Cleveland surprised us by slipping ahead into sixth place, it is mil the sixth city in actual size, and bids lair to remain do for a good many years to come. Its ad-vantages are numerous nnd plainly apparent. Tbe proposition of Memphis to engage in joint debate as to the merits and advantages of the twp cities does not arpeal particularly to Baltimore. It Is rot used to wrangling or disputation, and modesty Is such a long-standing virtue here that it has become almost a fault. Baltimore has Its own problems to solve, ud at the present time is very busy solving them.

Mumpbls has the spirit tbat makes a iltv grnat. It has been tried by disaster nod ewept by pestilence. It has been rough the fiery furnace, as Baltimore, has, bus arisen from misfortune stronger ed greater than ever. Ditflcultles have only served to arouse its- fightnig spirit, have stimulated its enterprise until It bos become one of the largest, wealthiest and most promising cities intheSouth. He hope tbat Memphis has for Baltimore ihKjgme kindly feeling that Baltimore baa CALLS PEARY "WORST FAKER" Arkansas Congressman Declares He Will -Denounce Explorer.

From the Philadelphia Ledger. Peary is a "faker of the worst sort, and his hoax is worse than Cook's," according to Congressman K. B. Macon, of Helena, who arrived in this city, in company with his wife, his daughter. Miss Mary Macon, and Miss Edna Eldcree, for the launching of the now dreadnought Arkansas at the yard of the New York Ship-Imilding Company.

Camden. At the Bellevue-Stratford Mr. MacOn spoke on a variety of subjects. Referring to fhe North Pole diseuKsiou and tbe relative merits of those claiming to have discovered it. he said further V.

"I am going to denounce "Peary on the floor of the House when the Naval Appropriation bill comes up for discussion. I will be supported by Congressman Roberts, of Massachusetts, and others. "I understand that a few- days ago four of the committee of seven to whom the matter was referred were In favor of allowing Peary to retire on full pay and of giving him the honor of finding the Pole. They made up their minds to it beforehand, just tbe same as the members of tb Geographical Society made up theirs before Pcarr had furnished one iota of proof. "There Is not one scintilla of evidence to show that Peary found the Pole.

He admits that no scientist, no geologist, no explorer could take his figures and go find the Pole now. He admits that the Pole 's as lost as it was before his alleged discovery. The man is a palpable fraud. There is not the lightest particle of truth in his statements. "Cook's account of bis discovery, so called, appeared before Peary's.

The latter corroborates Cook In many ways in regard to conditions about the Pole and so forth. I thiuk he simply used Cook's story to fill up the gaps in his own. "The American people, when they ojiuo to analyze the situation, will rottdily see that Peary is not sincere. If Congress does pass the bill, as they apparently in tend to do, they will, do so in tbe face of cue of tbe most gigantic frauds ever per petrated. "I intend to go after blm, and to do It with all my power." ONLY EIGHT MAJORITY Change Of Five Would Give Demo crats Control Of Senate.

From the Washington Post.) Five deaths in the Senate since the ad journment of the last session bas directed attention to tbe fact that Republican con trol of the Senate throughout the Sixty- second Congress bangs upon a slender thread. A deadlock in one or two Legis latures and a couple of deaths among Sena tors known to be in rather feeble health would result in the retirement of Republicans from power. The Senate today consists of 92 members, of whom 59 are Republicans and 33 Demo crats, a Republican majority of '2-. in the Sixty-second Congress tbe Democrats will make a net gain of 9, electing men of that party from tbe following States now represented by Republicans Indiana, Nebraska. Montana, New York.

New Jersey, Ohio. Maine, Missouri and West Virginia, two being chosen by tbe Legislature of tbe latter State. From North Dakota a Re publican will be sent in the place of the Democrat now serving under appointment of a Democratic Governor. This Demo cratic gain of 9 reduces tbe Republican ma jority to 8. A change of five Senators would give the Democrats control.

The Laziest People. From the Tirnea of Malar- There Is no doubt tbat the Malay is one of the laziest people in tbe world. Except rare cases they will not take the trouble to learn when they are yoqng, and afterward, if they have learned, they will not exert themselves to apply their knowledge to any object which requires a sustained effort. That they possess energy is known to any one who has Been Malays engaged in any enterprise which savors of sport. They do not mind the trouble if there is only some risk and excitement In the work.

A Hint To "Will Makers. From the Philadelphia EeconJ.) Mrs. Cyrus Brouse. of Northumberland. Dauphin county, divided a plot of ground 240 feet square among her four sons.

The plot was- divided into four equal parts and the location of each designated on slips of paper which strings were attached. The sons are Reuben and Frank, of Northumberland, and Thomas and Earl, of Sunbury, and each drew a slip designating his share. All are satisfied, and two contemplate building on their properties in the spring. DIED. BATEMAN.

The dispatch from Chicago saying that secret agents of the Government are seeking to learn whether or not American firms are behind some of the revolutions In Latin-America is more or less funny.

The American Government has for some years appeared to take a great deal of interest in Latin-American The gunboat Hornet, which sailed for Honduras recently, was supposed to be watched by officials of this Govrenment. Every one acquainted with events suspected the gunboat was bound for Honduras to assist in a forthcoming revolution. Manuel Bonilla and Gen. Lee Christmas and others were in New Orleans holding daily conferences with revolutionists and arranging for tbe revolution. If the Government wished to prevent that revolution it might have done so with ease.

Under the law it is illegal for an armed force to be organized iu this country to move against a friendly power. Y'et the armed force was organized and it did move against a friendly power. A few weeks ago Dr. Francisco I. Ma-dero, of In San Antonio.

Day after day he sat on the front porch" of the Hutchins Hotel in conference with men whose feelings toward the present government of Mexico were well known. Revolutionary agents purchased nearly 30-30 rifles for sale in San Antonio. Rifles of this pattern were purchased in other towns of Southwest Texas. Finally Dr. Madero and a few companions departed by night with arms and crossed the border into Mexico.

It was generally suspected that Dr. Madero came to Texas to organize a revolution. Where the money for that revolution came from is no secret. Tbe Madero family of Mexico is wealthy. Tbat organization could have been broken up.

but it was not broken up. In all probability the greater part of the population of the United States doesn't care whether it was broken up or not. These Latin-American revolutions are not matters of deep concern to the mass of the people of this country. But for the Government to be continually announcing tbat it is keeping closely in touch with everything that is being done for it to announce that every suspected movement against a Latin-American Government is being watched, and then for every movement organized on American soil to proceed to successful termination In battles on Latin-American soil Is ridiculous. Bird Slaughter In The South.

FTOm the PbiladelpMa Ledger. At this time of the year, when the southward migration to the orange groves and shelving beaches of Florida Bhows signs of becoming fairly general among those who can enviably afford it, it is well to direct the attention of bird-lovers to tbe perennial "massacre of th innocents" that is taking place In Florida, which will presently result in the virtual extermination of the snowy heron and the egret. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has just issued a bulletin in its effort to arouse public opinion to the end that vigorous prohibitive punitive measures may put a stop to the wanton destruction of these beautiful birds for the sake of their plumage. As long as there is a demand in Northern markets for these plumes, which are worn by the birds at nesting time, the everglade hunter will forget every consideration of commria humanity in his search for the snowy adornmenl of tbe bonnet of the woman of fashion. It is said that the hunters, Instead of using rifles, prefer to entrap their victims and pluck thera alive, in order not to run the risk of injuring the feathers.

The bleeding birds are then thrown heartlessly into the swamp, to fall a prey to water rats an snakes, or to the foxes and wildcats which, in their hungry expectancy, follow In the trail of the bird- bun ter. Efficiency Under Merit System. From the Chicago News. Civil service laws in former years were looked upon primarily as devices for se curing the elimination of political influ ence in the making of appointments to and removals from the publie serrlce1. The entrance examination the't was the principal feature in the minds of civil service advocates To a.

large degree the general public is still dominated by the idea that herein lies the chief value of the merit system. Progressive advocates of the civil service reform principle now have advanced far beyond that position. To their minds protection of the entrance to the Bervlce, though of great Importance, Is secondary to the development of efficiency in the service. People Are Watching. From the Memphis News-Scimitar.

Congressmen will be more careful than usual; the people are looking. DESECRATION OF MT. VERNON A Shrine In War Times, It Is Now Menaced By Penal Colony. From the New York Sun. There is to fear that unless public sentiment makes itself felt vigorously and without delay tbe plan to establish in the neighborhood of Mount Vernon, the home of Washington, a reformatory for criminals of the District of Columbia will be carried out.

The District Commissioners, who have tbe matter in charge, seem to bo insensible to tbe impropriety of such a course. Ground in other parts of Virginia has been offered them, but so far without changing their purpose. One of tbe Commissioners has said that the site was chosen "after a great deal of deliberation." We should say that it had been chosen with lack of deliberation, and w-e are reminded of tbe respectful attitude reverential ia really the proper word of the opposing armies during the Civil WTar toward Mount Vernon. Three years before it began the home of Washington had been conveyed in trust to an association of ladies, who were to maintain and preserve it as a shrine for the American people. All through the great conflict the soldiers of the two armies met there in its pauses friends.

A feeble old man was the caretaker of the estate, and he never had occasion to complain of depredations, or even of trespass, although other parts of Virginia were laid waste by the invaders. Mount Vernon, under the spell of Washington's name, remained a shrine in war as it had been in peace. Yet 43 years afterward we find the Commissioners of the District of Columbia proposing to build a system of prisons almost within sight of historic and hitherto treasured Mount Vernon aud inclined to. turn a deaf ear to remonstrance. The power to go on with this work of profanation is vested in these officers of tbe national Government, and.

apparently, it will be exercised unless Congress in-tci venes. We can understand why all Virginia is excited about the matter. The tomb and home of Washington are more sacred to her people, if such a' thing be possible, than to the people of other States. Virginians with one accord declined to consider tbe burial of Washington in a stately vault at the national capital, and so the associations of Mount Vernon are incalculably precious to them. We believe that when the people of the United States outside of Virginia learn what the Commissioners of the District of Columbia propose to do they will make their resentment known in terms equally emphatic and lose no time In instructing their representatives to compel the selection of another site for the reformatory.

Senatorial Elections. From Puck. The cause of popular election of Senators ought to receive a decided boost from the doings of the Empire State Just now. After all the hurrahing about Democracy triumphant, the revolt of the people against the bosses, and so forth, it is a trifle sad, this sight of a Democratic Senator being picked "by the most approved Republican methods. It should remind us once again that bosses are all alike, no matter on which side politically they may happen to be.

They grow on tbe same family tree. Rrmhiican or Democrat. If your interest is lukew arm in the popular vote agitation, a glance at tbe choosing of Depew's successor should make it hot. The Bishop And Cardinal. From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

William Faret, the Episcopal Bishop of Maryland, is very ill at bis home In Baltimore. Cardinal Gibbons, tbe highest dignitary of tbe Roman Catholic Church in this country, called on the Bishop Tuesday to sympathize with him in his distress and to wish for his recovery. "The church of which he is one of the beads," said the Cardinal, "should feel proud of him." The Cardinal and the Bishop have been friends for many years. In spite of what some of the doctors say, we are all much nearer together than we are willing to admit. Modern System In Kentucky.
