North Pole Secret.
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

enough to get his bearings, but still no
call for that extra session of the legis

Bl'TCHERY CALLED SPORT.

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.

NONPARTISAN NULLIFICATION.
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.
With gold upcaugHt across the red.
And here and there, with sighs and calls.
Among the hills an echo rings..
Rpmotely as the water fall
And down the meadow softly sings.
A wind noes by; the air Is stirred
With secret whispers far and nearj
Another token Just a word
Had made the rose's meaning clear.
I see; the fields; I catch the scent
Of odors from the fresh split wood,
Where bearded moss and stains are blen
With autumn rains, and all la good.
An air arising turns and lifts
The fallen leaves where they had lain
Iteneath the trees, then weHkly shifts
And Blowly settles back again.
While with far shouts, now homeward
bound.
Across the fields the reapers go'
And with the darkness closing round.
The lilies of the twilight blow.
If you or come member of your family
were taken suddenly to-night with Diar

or Cholera Infantum, would you be pre

THOUSANDS upon thousands of
jicople- young, middle afcd and
old are sulfering front soma
one or more of the symptoms produced
by some stage of the. malady known
as "flat-foot," or broken-clown arch, as
it in fretiuently called.
The early stages of "flat-foot" are
usually th numt painful. At this time
very little, if any deformity or change
of the foot's outline can bo observed,
consequently the pains are attributed
to other causes frequently to rheuma
tism. The rheumatlc-like pains may
bo in the feet, calves of legs, knees,
hips, liiult, and sometimes there is a
dull pain In the back of the neck.
Other symptoms are swollen, painful
toes, enlarged great toe Joints, pain In
the heel, bunions, cramps in the feet,
toes drawn up or down, weak ankles
and a generally "used-up" feeling at
the end of the day.
Come to our Htore and let us demon
