If we count the era of North Polar exploration from llenrlk Hudson, In 1607, there have been four centuries of continuous search for the "end of the world," or the pole. Until well Into the nineteenth century nearly all J the exploring was done for commercial reasons by sailors or fishermen. The world became deeply concerned in the search for Sir John Franklin, and aft erward in fixing certain scientific facts. John Rofs, In 1818, and William Parry, in 1819, mad extensive coast discoveries. Sir John Franklin set out In 1845 with two ships and 129 men. They wintered at Beechy Island. In September, 1846, his ships were beset with Ice near King William Land. The only record shows that the ehips were abandoned in April, 1848. Franklin and twenty-three others having pre viously died. The interest of the world was aroused by the search for Frank" lln. John Ross, James Ross, Stewart and Kennedy were among the early adventurers. Coillnson, In 1850, car ried the exploration further and picked up some relics of Franklin. By sledge, In 1854, McClure made the northwest passage. Lady Franklin sent McClin tock, in 1859, and found the story of Franklin's fate. Dr. Kane's American expedition started In 1853, and re turned in 1855. Dr. Hayes, In 1861, reached Cape Goode. In the Polaris, 1871, Dr. Hall reached the furthest northern point up to that time and charted Grlnnell Land, beyond the 83d parallel. Hall died, but several of his men were rescued. Lieutenant A. W. Greely, from 1881 to 1883, made many valuable discov eries of fertile land and new plants. De Long sailed In the. Jfeannatt in 1879. With G. W. Melville he explored the region, but died. Melville re turned. Nansen made the passage by the Nova Zembla route In 1888. Peary's attempts extended from 188( to 1902, and he is now returning from his still later effort. Wellman's work Is well known to .the public, as are Amundsen's travels and the sad fate of Andre in a balloon. There are bold men'B names In the list of Inquirers between Sir John Franklin and Dr. Cook, who at last Is said to have lo cated the pole. The hardships have grown less severe with experience and modern Improvements, but to the last It has been a history of daring and suffering. For years paBt there has been little or nothing to discover. Everything had been learned by other means. The great secret, now barren of important results, has been solved and the romance of Arctic discovery Is at an end. Bellinger's Public Life. Many of the newspaper correspond ents who are spending their time at Beverly write of Secretary Balllnger as If he were a new Bight for the president to witness and a novice in the land and cognate affairs of the Interior -depart ment. The truth is that 'he "fa 'better acquainted with the president than were some of the other secretaries called Into the cabinet, and has a spe cial qualification of familiarity with the public land branch of the depart ment. From March, 1907, he -was commissioner of the general land of flee under Garfield, and obviously had the approval of President Roosevelt and not the disapproval of Mr. Taft, then the secretary of war. Secretary Balllnger may be a wise man or a shallow one, but at least he was well known to Roosevelt and Taft and to a great array of other distin guished men close to both of them. He had been a superior court ' Judge and mayor of 8eattle. It is to be presumed that his fellow-citizens thought well of him as a lawyer and member of the community. He had been a district at torney In Illinois when a young man. It would not have been easy at the time of his appointment to Belect a man of larger experience, or1 one, un less some of Roosevelt's cabinet were to be reappointed, mora thoroughly tested. He was far from being a novice and as far from being unknown. Pres ident Taft knew pretty well the cal iber of the man last March, It, -was a busy summer for the president, but he must have had a notion of what was doing in the Department of the In terior. If there la disagreement when Mr. Balllnger meets his chief there w ill be no shock of astonishment over his position on any question dealtng'wlth the public lands. A Police Problem. The request of the police board that the council authorize an additional ap propriation to make possible a tempo rary increase of the police force calls attention to one serious feature of our police problem due to the limited funds available for police purposes. . The last legislature, without increas ing the immediate resources of the po lice department, raised the pay of the officers so as to take up in salaries for the existing force all the money In the police fund and even more. As a con sequence, in order to avoid the other wise imperative necessity of a reduc tion of the force, the police were com pelled to, agree to forego the salary increase until next year, and even next year the police fund will have no sur plus for increasing the force after the Increase In pay of the present members is provided for. The question, there fore, becomes a very practical one of taking care of temporary emergencies by temporary measures. It Is not so much the regulation of street traffic to prevent automobile accidents that is most urgent, although that Is by no means to be overlooked, but the general policing of the city, and particularly of the down-town dls trlct, during the next two or three months, when Omaha will be entertain tug large numbers of out-of-town vis Itors In attendance upon the big Eagles convention, the Ak-Sar-Hen festivities, the Corn show and the holiday shop ping season. One of the duties devolv ing upon the city, acting as a host. Is to provide ample police protection, and the knowledge of police conditions travels fast among the "gentry" who are likely to have business with the police. The good effects of a big con vention, which we exerted much effort to get, and for which we are spending thousands of dollars to entertain, can be easily destroyed by Inadequate po lice protection. And, still, under the existing conditions the only way out seems to be to put on special policemen temporarily, If the money Is forthcom ing, and to utilize the specials for pa trol duty in the outskirts while bring ing the seasoned regulars on to the firing line down town. This police problem Is a very essen tia! part of the arrangements which we cannot afford to neglect. Care of Consumptives. Officials who are In touch with health records agree that the duration of human life In this country has been notably extended within the last twenty years. Some assign as the main cause the better care of Infants. Others mention the more wholesome food, the dryer atmosphere, the freer circulation of air in houses and the discoveries of medical science. Some of the au thorities say that the Incomparably better care of persons threatened with phthisis has operated to distinctly pro long the average duration of human life and very much prolong the aver age period of useful activity. Dr. Wil liams, phyelcian to the king of Eng land, has just published a lecture in which he treats the proper system of caring for tuberculous persons, from the standpoint of guarding against danger and at the same time not vex ing and harassing the unfortunates by cutting them off from other human beings and reducing them to the con dition of' the leper of old. He says that there are many young men and women In the Incipient stages of the disease who carry with them no danger, who can efficiently perform the usual occupations f life with safety to all concerned, especially if they have been In a sanitarium and under stand the rules of hygienic life. It would mean cruel misfortune to them if they were driven from making a liv ing or from homes where they are use ful, harmless and comfortable. From the lecture of Dr. Williams It Is to be Inferred that the marriage of a tuberculous person ought to be dis couraged, though all Infection can be avoided by thorough execution" of the well known precautionary measures. Contrary to ,the current belief, in halation by the air passages la not the most common cause of infection. The leBson which must be taught; not only In sanatorlums, but in all homes, is the curative and preventive value of sunlight, freely moving pure air, steril ization of sputum, good digestion and nutritious food. As a coldly scientific proposition, assuming as trained men do that nearly all consumption Is cur able, ignorance or carelessness of sim ple rules costs millions of dollars a, year to the public In every state. As this public loss, added to private dis tress, Is learned more positively by the masses of people, the problem on which Dr. Williams dwells, the care of per sons known to be tuberculous, will be come a painful, costly and trouble some problem. To protect rigidly the V. n 1 . U M 1 . . ... . ucaniiy o.uu yt noi inrnct unnecessary hardships on the diseased involves dif ficulties for public health officials and for those privately responsible for members of a family. Sanatorlums multiply everywhere, and what the In mates may or may not do in their in tercourse with friends and relative will become perplexing in execution. It Is far more perplexing than the gov ernment of a hospital, because a large proportion of the patients have little outward signs of pathological trouble. Knowledge has been a blessing In the case of consumption, but it has in creased the proportion of the problem ror public regulation and private pre vision. The Park board Is asking the coun cil to submit a bond proposition for another $100,000. The Park board has had one or more bond propositions before the people at every election for the last several years. Without en tering into the merits of the present requisition, it seems to us that the different departments of city govern ment in charge of work for which bonds are likely to be called for should get together on some general financial program rather than continue each for itself asking as often as possible for as much as it thinks it can get. The weak spot in our municipal gov- ernment Is the lack of responsibility and authority over the finances. The democratic World-Herald puts in a good word for two of the three democratic nominees for supreme Judge, but ignores the third with a dense silence. And the editor of the World-Herald Is running for office on the same ticket with these Illustrious aspirants Is a platform bindine? la a candidate under soy moral obliga tion to support the nominees associ ated with him on the same ticket? If he does not support his associates, are they under any moral obligation to support him? Apropos of the announced intention of "Jim" Hill to quicken the run on his lines, there is not a railroad be tween Omaha and Chicago that cannot easily make the distance in twelve hours for which it has been using four teen and a half hours. The Omaha Chicago run used to be made in twelve hours and, with :iie improved roadbed, better locomotives and higher grade equipment of more recent years, can easily be restored. Immortalism Is the new name. If Bishop Fallows ran cage a live one or put out a guess on the currency bill we shall have something to talk about. But these things are hot In fashion until the furnaces are lighted and the summer resorts closed. For the pres ent the base ball leagues occupy the hours left over after the crop report and the stock market are studied. According to the state treasurer's report out of a balance of $778,000 he Is carrying $178,000 as cash or caBh Items, being nearly 25 per cent of the total. It goes without saying that this money Is not being kept in the safe, but is on deposit somewhere, In some form. Why not list the cus todians of the cash along with other depositories? After traveling all over the north west, Governor Johnson Is confident that all the democrats and all the re publicans are disgruntled with the tariff. The condition ought to make the debate on the principle of protec tion too easy to be worth while. Yet the votes will tell as usual. It Is a thing of many facets, this tariff ques tion. The County attorney has discovered that under the law, as revised by the late democratic legislature, election officers In Omaha are to get $5 a day, while election officers In South Omaha are entitled to $6 a day. Why there should be any difference In favor of South Omaha election officers, In the matter of pay, awaits explanation. The suggestion is offered that no one be allowed to run an automobile un less he la fully competent to do so. That Is the present theory, but In prac tice the only test we have of compe tency Is the coroner's inquest on the accident after it has happened. Civil service examinations for would-be au tomobile drivers Is the thing. Mrs. Belmont could promote the cause of woman's independence by at tending the Cheyenne reservation opening. Every deserted wife and every woman who is the breadwinner of the family may get a homestead free. There ought to be more evi dence there than at Newport on the wherein and the why. J. J. Hill Is no chicken. Without any talk he shortens the schedule to Denver and brings San Francisco eight or ten hours nearer. And all the time he Is building new depots. E. H. Harriman and John D. Rocke feller are wonderful men, but there are others In the. railroad business. Some of bur Retail liquor dealers seem to think th,at the druggists get more privileges " proportionately for their $10 permit' than they do for their $1,000 license. It is up to the police commission to act as a board of equalization. . The state committees of the various political parties have been invited by the management -' to establish head quarters at the State fair. Care should be taken not to locate the cider press too near the prohibition rendezvous. Governor Shallenberger has been back from . Puget sound now long enough to get his bearings, but still no call for that extra session of the legis lature demanded by the democratic state platform. What about It? Bl'TCHERY CALLED SPORT. Aatamoblle Speed Mania Most Be Cheeked. New York World. The Indianapolis auto races cost the first day four lives, the third day three lives. Others may be added from the list of In jured. The dally general average of deaths on the road is meanwhile kept up. So hazardous an occupation as ballooning and aeroplane Invention has been by compari son with automoblllng singularly free from fatal accident. The submarine boat In the navies of the world has no such ghastly record, even in proportion to the number using it, as the fast auto. A post In a powder mill is safer. Tet the automobile should be a benefi cent Invention. Properly used, It la safer than a horse-drawn vehicle. It can be guided more accurately and stopped more quickly. It knows neither frltfht nor fa tigue. Of proper weight and speed and when unprovided with spikes or chains, It does not destroy the roads. For trucking, for use as a farm wagon, for omnibui work and as a pleasure vehicle the auto mobile should be Invaluable. Such use of it already is made; but tbe speed-maniacs who destroy the roads, who try to kill bridge-tenders and policemen and who do in so many cases kill them selves and others have badly hurt a great industry. Neither on track nor road has the high-power auto any legitimate func tion. It la an express engine running wild, without guiding rails, protected crossings or safety signals a mina unuimnauie. l'rudent men who use autos for pleasure or business are at the mercy or tlio maniacs. The simplest plan of preventing auto- speedlng is to permit no auto within the state, on track or road, which is structur ally capable of exceeding the speed limit. If this or other effective steps were taken, if careless driving were effectively pun ished, if manufacturers were to devote to making autotng safe and pleasant the en ergy they now expend on making It fast. hazardous and hideous, the business would prosper as it has never yet done and the auto be hailed as a blessing and nut a scourge.

Fremont Tribune: Now comes Mr. fcul llvan with frank acknowledgment that It Is his purpose to assist In the attack upon the law. lie says he will Join In behalf f another corporation he represents and that he will do his best to upset the law Is to be admitted, if he Is credited with common honesty and loyalty to his client. While we have hitherto stated Mr. Sulli van can not be said to be a corporation baiter and is not much of a progressive In that sense, but rather leans toward corporation practice In the law. It must be admitted he has shown uncommon cour age for a candidate in freely admitting that he has been caught with corporation goods on his person. Geneva Signal: Now comes Judge J. J. Sullivan, formerly of Columbus but now of corporation ridden Omaha, and brings suit in the Lancaster county district court to have declared unconstitutional the stale occupation tax law on corporations passed by the leglsluturo last winter. That legis lature must have been a mongrel body In deed. Nearly all of its acts of Importance have already been declared Illegal by aome court, but Judge Sullivan, the particular pride of democracy and its one hope on the state ticket, was not expected to Join in the general raid on the work of the only democratic legislature the state ever had. Let us pray to be delivered from Its repetition, lis 8 o'clock closing law seems to be the only one of Importance that is likely to hold water, not to mention any thing stronger. Fremont Herald (dem.); Last week we were told by Lincoln newspapers that Judge John J. Sullivan would attack the King corporation law, as passed by the last legislature, Now It Is stated that the case has been commenced in the dis trict court of Lancaster county, and that Judge Sullivan does not appear for the plaintiff In the action. The statement that he was hired by a Corporation was so qualified as to leave little room for doubt that he was to lead In an altac ou the law passed by the democratic leg islature. Dependency can usually be placed on the Lincoln newspapers for truth tell ing, but this was apparently a political trick tending to discredit Judge .Sullivan In the eyes of the people. Wo are very glad that Judge Sullivan's skhts are cleated, and that he had no intention of fighting the law which his party had bo faithfully worked for enactment. The Lincoln newspapers owe an apology to Judge Sullivan and the democratic press. Newman Grove Reporter: It is hard luck to worry out an editorial this hot weather and then have to sidetrack it. But It happened. The editorial was headed "A Non-partisan Judiciary." It said of Judge Sullivan that, In legal ability and other quHliricatlons for a place on the su preme bench of the state, he stood head and shoulders above any other of the nominees. It went on to intimate that we wanted a non-partisan ticket and that Sul livan was the best name to put at the head of the list. Then tile news came that Judge Sullivan had been retained to at tack the constitutionality of the law, pasred last winter, putting a tax on cor porations. Nice tiling to spring at such a lime. Isn't it. Of course no outsider can muster the science of legal ethics. They may be able to show that It is perfectly right fur a great lawyer, who Is a candi date for supreme Judge, to accept a le talnlng fee to try to prove to the supreme court, to which he hopes soon to belong, that an Important law is not valid. But how about the other side, the men or the corporations who paid the fee; what were they after? They set a trap and sprung It Well, how about It? Judge Sullivan may extricate himself. The nights are growing longer and there Is plenty of time to think. But an article on a non-pan t.-tun Judiciary will be filed away, on the hook, for future reference. MOBE JIM JAMS. Kearney Democrat: Mayor J. C. Dahl nan of Omaha has announced his candi dacy for governor. Now load your guns and begin firing. St. Paul Republican: If you think that James C. Dahlrean of Omaha will not be a candidate for governor on the democratic ticket next year you have another guess coming. Ills newspaper support will be rather slltn, consisting of the Columbus Telegram, the Omaha World-Herald and the personal and religious organ of Wlll-Be-Senator Soreusen of Omaha, The Ex aminer. Leigh World: Mayor Jim Dahlman of Omaha has formally declared himself as a candidate for governor on a platform that will declare for "home rule" and "personal liberty." The perfecting of a rtate-wtde organization In support of Dahl man's candidacy, Independent of the regu lar par'y committees, has been going on for some time and there Is liable to be a srlli in democratic circles. Waterloo Gaiette: The cowboy mayor of Omaha Is attracting more attention than usually falls to the lot of mankind and he seems to thrive ur.der it. That Dahlman will be democratic candidate for governor next year seems more or less certain (as politics goes) at this time, and Governor Shallenberger will be In the race for sena tor. Perhaps It has not occurred to either of them that Nebraska Is normally a re publican state and they may both lose out when the votes are counted. O'Neill Frontier: Mayor Dahlman of Omaha Is setting his stakes to run for governor next year as a whisky democrat. He is doing a little advance work in the way of Chautauqua debating of the pro hibition question, being avowedly and In sistently opposed to further restrictions of the liquor trade. lie Is not without a sub stantial following and his nomination next year would be no surprise. One thing about the Omaha mayor that is admirable is his absolute candor. People are not left I ft the dark as to "where he is at." Greeley Leader-Independont : If It should become the duty of democrats to make a choice of candidates for governor between Mryor Dahlman and Governor Shallen berger, wisdom would easily dlstate the selection of the latter. Dahln-sn doubtless has his good qualities, but he is not the stripe of man to merit gubernatorial honor. Dahlman is obsessed with his "personal liberty" idea, which, as he in terprets it, means antagonism to all recent liquor regulation, and Nchraskans will hatdly giv him their approvnl on that position.

A VISION IN SEPTEMBER. William Griffith in Hampton' Magaitna. Today, as by a mtiKlc wand, A breese Is wafted from the yeara Of lottK ago and from beyond The city as It disappears. On far horizons softly lean The hills HgaitiKt the coming nlgh And mantled with a russet green The orchards gather Into sight; Aa through the apples, hlnh and low, In ruddy colors deeply spread From core to rind, the Sim melts slow.
