Mother's Love
A young married woman said to her
mother-in-law; "Mother, I wonder if
you love your son, George, as well as
I love him for a husband? It seems
impossible-"
The woman replied: "Well, Alice,
let me tell you the difference in your
affection for George. You love him
because he loves you and is really lov
able and kind and affectionate, and his
thoughtful attentions anticipate all
your wants. But let him cease to be
loving and affectionate, and become
cold and iudifferent, ueglectiug you and
becoming even abusive and violent,
and let him throw away his manhood
and go into the mire of immorality
and drunkenness. Then I should not
be surprised to see you cease loving
Georgo and see you sue for divorce,
but George might neglect and treat me
unkiudly, assault me with violence and
stagger into the gutter. Nevertheless,
before binding up these wounds, I
would help him up and wipe the slime
from his cheek and kiss him, and put
my arms around him and what others
might say or think of him, I would
still love him and caress him as my
darling son, That, Alice, is perhaps
the difference between your love and
mine for George." Exchange.
POLAR VENTURERS OF PAST.
Wlllougliby, Froblsher, Davis, Hudson,
Franklin, Nansen, Abruzl, Cto.
Tho host previous record to Dr.
Cook's reported thin! triumph was
that of Peary, who on April 20. 1000,
reached tho latitude of 87 degrees 0
minutes north of Greenland. Previous
to that time tho Duke of the Abruzzl's
expedition held tbo record of latitude
80 degrees 34 minutes, which was
reached on April 26, 1000, north of
Franz Josef Land. Nnnscn's record
was 80 degrees 11 minutes, mnde on
April 7, 1805.
The search for the polo uob been a
quest which has drawn adventurous
men Into tho nretlc regions for cen
turies. The Norsemen were probably
the first Europeans to visit Greenland.
Sir Hugh Wlllougliby sailed In 1553
"for the search nnd discovery of
northern parts of the world." He
discovered Nova Zcmbla, but starved
with most of his men In Lnpland on
his return voyngc. Froblsher In 1570
and Davis In 1585 made voyages to
Greenland nnd tho north coast of
America, nenry Hudson In 1007
reached latitude 73 degrees on the
eastern coast of Greenland and added
to the knowledge of Spltzbergen,
which wns discovered by Wlllcni Ba
rents In 1500.
In 1707 Captain Glllls made a voy
age far to the eastward nlong the
northern shore of Greenland nnd saw
high land, which has since been
Glllls Lund. In Intltude 80 degrees.
Captain Scoresby. In command of a
whaler, succeeded In advancing his
ship, the Resolution, as far north as
latitude 81 degrees 12 minutes 42 sec
onds In 1S00. This record was not ex
ceeded until Lleutennnt Robert Peary
reached latitude 82 degrees 45 minutes
In tin attempted dash for tho polo from
tho northern const of Spltzbergen.
Tho III fated expedition of the Eng
lish admiral Sir .John Franklin sailed
on Mny 10. 1845, nnd consisted of two
ships, the Erebus nnd Terror, with
crows of 131 ofllcers nnd men. The
ships were Inst seen In Buflln bay on
July 20 In latitude 74 degrees 48 min
utes. No great tinxlety wns felt until
1818, but In thnt nnd succeeding years
expedition after expedition wns dis
patched In quest of the missing ex
plorer nnd his men. Bet ween 1818 and
1S54 nbout llfteen expeditions set out
from England nnd America In the hope
of rescuing Franklin. Various traces of
the missing ships nnd crows were dis
covered through Eskimos, nnd In 1850
throe sledging pnrtles from Sir Leo
pold McCIIntock's relief expedition dis
covered nil nlong the west nnd Routh
const of King William's Island re
mains of articles nnd skeletons, which
told the tale of disaster. A record was
discovered In n enlrn at Point Vic
tory, which briefly told tho history of
tho expedition up to April 23. 1S48.
The record tells tho tale of Franklin's
death nnd the beginning of the end for
the-survivors nnd stated that twenty
four men had nlrendy died.
This Is nil that Is l;now.n of the.ato
of Franklin nnd his men. The entas
trophe which overtook him led to 7.000
miles of coast line bclug discovered.
Tho Interest aroused In America In the
senrch led to the expeditions of Do
Haven nnd Grlfllth In 1S50 nnd of Dr.
Kane In 1853. Following these were
the Amerlcnn expeditions of Dr. nnyes
nnd of nail. In 1871 Hall reached 82
degrees 10 minutes In the Polaris.
Probably the most spectacular at
tempt to discover the pole was that of
the 111 fated Andree. who set out In n
balloon nnd has never sluco been heard
of.

The Monkey Versus the Rose.
Alfred Frumpton. V, R. I. B. A., a
well known Londoner, has written an
open letter, lu which he says;
"Tho time has arrived when the
royal botanic gardens and zoological
gurdens should be amalgamated.
"The zoological gardens should be
Increased In area to receive the bo tan
Ic gardens. It would be a great public
benefit to hnve the gardens of the
flora aud fauna side by side.
"A monkey Is n much greater' attrac

Abolition of tho Rum Power.
A series of hcart-to-hcart talks on the
above named subject by Prof. J. L. Mc
Brien, ex-state superintendent of public
instruction of Nebraska:
TALK SEVEN
To let the saloon do business longer in
this great state of ours is cruelty unspeak
able and outrage infinite. And bv what
method do we propose to abolish it? By
the voice of the people, which is the voice
of God. Let God and the people rule in
Nebraska, and let the saloon be annihilat
ed, blotted out, now nnd forever.
Our fathers, who framed the government
under which we live, declared that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, The great Web
ster thundered in the United States Senate
in his memorable reply to Robert Y.
Hayno that this is the people's govern
ment, made for the people, and answer
able to the people. The immortal Lincoln
preached on the bloody battlefield of
Gettysburg in the presence of our patriotic
living and heroic dead, that this is a gov
ernment of the people, by the people, and
for the people.
And now, if this is the people's govern
ment, if it actually belongs to them, and if
they have full authority over all questions
arising under it, let mo ask the brewers
and the saloon-keepers and those who may
differ from us on the method of dealing
with the liquor traffic, why should the
people be denied the right and the privi
lege of voting on this great question in
1911, under a law to be passed by the next
legislature? And if this is the people's
government, made by them, made for
them, and answerable to them, why should
the brewers and saloon-keepers oppose a
fair opportunity being afforded the people
to vote upon the question of state-wide
prohibition in 1913 and national prohibi
tion in 1916?
And if this is the people's government
of all the people, by Till the people, and
for all the people why not let women
vote on all questions of government?
doubt most of you saw that cartoon which
was run in the papers some months past,
A woman, a child, a ballot box, an officer
of the law, and a hoodlum. This woman
was evidently a widow. With one hand
she was leading her child and in the other
hand she carried a satchel on which was
written, "Property and Taxes." She was
on her way to the ballot box, for she had
been taught when a pupil in the public
schools that our revolutionary fathers de
clared that, "Taxation without represen
tation is tyranny," There is a little gal
lantry and spirit of fair-dealing left in the
hoodlum, and his sense of justice is about
to force him to give way and let the woman
vote; but the policeman steps in and shouts
with all the authority of the law: "Wo
man, thou shalt not vote. Begone from
this sacred shrine, the ballot box. It is
for men only!" O Consistency, thou art a
jewel! A name to conjure with!
The legislature of 191 1 should enfran
chise woman in Nebraska, or else dis
franchise the hoodlum
National Convention at Omaha
The program committee for the National
W. C. T. U, convention, which will con
vene in Omaha, Oct. 22-47, 's verV fortun
ate in securing several fine speakers for
the occasion.
The annual sermon has always been a
very important feature of the National
convention, and it is with great pleasure
that we announce that Mrs. Mary Harris
Armor, president of the Georgia W. C. T.
U., wilpreach Sunday afternoon, Many
people of the stata had the privilege of
hearing Mrs, Armor speak when she was
in the state last year and know of her rare
ability as an inspiring woman on the plat
form. One of the distinguished guests of the
convention will be Ex-Governor Glenn of
North Carolina, who will speak Sunday
evening.
Another will be Dr. Janey of Balti more
Md., who is prominently identified with
the Vigilance Society of that city,
Miss Ellen M. Stone, whose captivity in
Bulgaria is still fresh in the minds of all,
will be in attendance and will not fail to
interest everyone in her story,
Other well known W. C. T. U. workers
will be present and partipipate in the pro
gram. Tho L. T. L's. will give a demonstra
tion one evening representing the different
countries in which there are organizations
of the W. C. T. U. This will be a novel
and interesting entertainment.
The local chairman of the demonstra
tion committee, Mrs. Clara E, Burbank,
is also planning for a big parade of the
school children. They will march through
I the principal streets down town Friday,
carrying Hags and banners and singing
temperance songs. This may be made an
automobile parade as many automobile
owners have offered the use of their ma
chines for the purpose.
Owing to the intense heat and the ab
sence from the city of many of the active
workers on the Omaha committe, the
campaign for funds has been at a stand
still, but with the cooler weather of
September the work of raising the balance
will be pushed with new energy.
Headquarters for Nebraska women will
be the Y. M. C. A. building from now to
close of the convention.
State Fair an Educator
The board of managers of the state
fair to be held in Lincoln, Sept G to
10, is bending every energy this year,'
as in years past, to make the state fqir
a great educator, a great school where
one can come and learn something
new no matter what his vocation.
That is the great general purpose of
the fair. Aside from that, the man
agers have been paying special atten
tion for several years to an educational
department under the special direction
of State Superintendent Bishop. Last
year they set aside one whole large
building, Education hall. This year
this large building has all been rear
ranged and refitted, making a larger
and better exhibit than ever before.
This year there will be another new
feature along the educational line. It
No;niay be called the enlarged farmer in
stitute idea.
These meetings will be held in the
splendid new auditorium, where 5,000
people can be comfortably seated add
easily hear any speaker on account of
the excellent accoustics.
Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 3 p.m., B. F.
Kingsley, of Hastings will speak ou
"The Draft Horse." There is not a
better posted man on this particular
topic in all the great west. He knows
the horse and he talks about the horse
with genuine horse sense, in a way that
interests all.
Tuesday evening, Sept. 7, Dr. Geo.
E. Condra, at 7:15, will give an illus
trated stereopticon lecture, "Glimpses
of Agricultural Nebraska." Dr. Con
dra is an interesting speaker aud, his
pictures Nebraska made, tell a wonder
ful story.
Wednesday, Sept. 8, at 3 p.m., Prof.
E. V. Hunt of Alliance will speak on
"The Conservation of Our Natural
Resources." Prof. Hunt is a bpleudid
speaker with a great message for'Ne
braska people.
Wednesday evening Dr. Condra will
give another illustrated lecture, Ne
braska's Principal Products."
Thursday, the 9th. at 3 p.m., Prof.
T. G. Holden of Ames, la., will speak.
That is announcement enough, for
when Prof. Holden talks they all want
to hear him. Following .Pxof Holden,
Dr. Clark Bruce will give "an interest
ing address on pute milk. Dr. Condra
will speak again at 7:15, "Conservation
of Nebraska'sgricultural Resources."

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. C Tho county
nttoiney of Platto county has been In
structed to stop tho proceedings
against the Pullman Car company, In
stituted at the request of Railway
Commissioner Cowglll, who was
charged a berth rate from Columbus
to Omaha when ho behoved a seat
rate waa Eufllcient. The reasons for
the request to dismiss given by the
commission was to tho effect that tho
alleged offense had been committed
In Colfax Instead of In Platto county.
As a ."natter of fact, however, upon
looking up their old orders It Is said
the commission discovered that it had
given permission to the Pullman com
pany to do the very thing tho commis
sion complained of. Instead of giving
permission to sell seats at berth rates
over two roada, one from tho east and
one from th6 west, the commission
discovered upon Investigation of Its
work that It had given permission to
charge the berth rate on foutv trains.
Since that episode, however, tho
commission has issued an order that
seats on tho Pullman are free when
ever there are no other seats on the
train. But tho free Pullman passen
ger has to move to the other car
whenever there Is a vacant seat.
Osteopaths' Convention.
Tho state convention of the osteo
paths elected the following ofllcers:
C. K. Strublo of Hastings, president;
Emma Hayes of University Place,
vice president; C. B. Atzen of Omaha,
secretary, and' Lulu B. Cramb of Fair
bury, treasurer. Three members were
nominated for the state board, tho
governor to chooso one from this num
ber to act Jn place of the retiring
member. Those nominated were J.
M. Kllgore of York, C. K. Struble of
Hastings and' B. S. Peterson of Kear
ney. Tho first mnterlal for the construc
tion of the new Burlington shops at
Havcloclt was unloaded. The new
shops will cover sixteen acres; will
cost $1,500,000 when completed and
will require the lnbor of 300 men for
n year nnd a half.
Typhoid at Penitentiary.
At the penitentiary at the present
tlmo there are two cases of typhoid
fever Dr. H.'B. Lowry, prison physi
cian, says there Is no danger of an
epidemic of the disease, as it was not
caused by auy unsanitary conditions
at the prison. Tho water has been
tested and found to be pure and free
from germs. One of the convicts had
been working out on tho farm and
drank some water from a well which
tho doctor believes may have caused
his sickness. The other worked' in the
kitchen and hja disease" is traced to
eating green vegetables.
Northwestern Doea Well.
The aunual report of the Northwest
ern railroad, filed with the state rail
way commission, shows a good' In
crease In the amount of buslnoss done
in the year 1909, compared with the
year 1908-1907, notwithstanding both
passenger and freight rates were re
duced by the legislature of 1907. Op
erating expenses for 1909 were more
than in 1908 and less than Jn 1907 per
mile, but in the aggregate were great
er than for either 1907 or 1908.
