The Royal Geographical society has taken notice of Peary. The debate Is adjourned until about 1915. ! Prof. Parker declares that Dr. Cook did not ascend Mount McKlnley. No body accused him of It but himself. 1 Figures of the New England wheat crop are being received. Hold your breath until the market recovers Its equilibrium. Gary has used up $60,000,000 and la going to invest $40,000,000 more. And we once thought that we had, seen boom towns. ' New York la to have a grand parade for the Hudson-Fulton celebration, but it will not have the novelty of Bozeman's sweet-pea festival. Captions critics said that General Corbln was only an office general. A good office general may be worth a dot en generala of fall maneuvers. ! Conservation of energy and the re form of the currency are on the pro gram for the session of congress. Washington will have a quiet winter. The gallant ship, Roosevelt, carried 228 dogs and ten children. Strange how the customs of the furthest north agree with those of the sultriest south. Owners of corn and cotton are in no hurry to sell. When the days are cold and hungry the price will suit the sell ers and Europe will bring forth the money. Charleston says that Atlanta has a man who once received a letter from Dr. Cook, and doubtless it was before he learned that Cook was a Tammany democrat. When you speak of Mr. Harrlman it la the thing to mention his wizardry. Otherwise people will fall into the mis take of supposing that you were not acquainted. I . Looking at the census of religions, everybody says that women are the strength of churches. Not a man has had an outbreak of anger over the base insinuation. All of us thought that the Saratoga conference was out to rejuvenate the democratic party. It is disappointing to see that what it was hunting was only Flngy Conner. If Patten has become a bear on the strength of the spring wheat reports, let him have his little game. The winter wheat would in two days break any corner built on spring wheat. Geologists Insist that Alaska was once tropical. If It should change back before th trust gets out its coal we shall have a good place for the summer capital, without asking the president to move his Issues. Society news has it that more wed dings will be celebrated this fall than In any season sine th panic. In spit of th well fixed rule that love finds its highest joy to breakfast food and darned stockings. Good times and marriages will go together. 1 . . .J Lord Rosebery will do to bet on.

The attitude of Intelligent people toward the announcement of the North Pole discovery Is deserving of attention In Its contrast with th atti tude of the world In times past toward previous great scientific achievements. As already emphasized by The Bee, doubtless there are still skeptics who would deny the very existence of a North Pole, and others who, admit ting Its existence, would deny the pos sibility of human visitation. Yet the general disposition Is to accept the fact of the discovery by one or the other claimant, or both, and, while ac cording them full credit for daring and endurance, to take It as a matter of course that rhe pole would have been brought within human vision sooner or later as a consequence of fne advance of our scientific knowledge and the perfection of our means of fa cilitating travel and resisting the hard ships of exposure to the elements. In a word, the civilized world of today 4s ready to give credence to an achieve ment of science which previous ages would have pronounced forthwith to be absolutely Incredible. Writing long before the Christian era, Herodotus gives an account of a sailor's expedition that rounded the South African cape, but the feat was regarded as so preposterous that It was not until the fifteenth century that It was repeated and established aa a geographical possibility. When the Norsemen made the voyage to North America, more than 400 years before Columbus, their account was not be lieved until corroborated by thnse who came after, and even Columbus died before the story of hjs weird adven ture was accepted and before he, him self, realized the magnitude of his dis covery. .It remained for the tast century to take the word, "Unexplored," oft of large areas of the map, and It has re mained for this twentieth century to complete man's knowledge of the re motest and most Inaccessible corners of the earth. If It should be an nounced some day by some astronomer that he had succeeded In signaling to people dwelling on the planet Mars there would be a demand for proof, but the announcement would not be half so startling as that of Galileo that "the earth revolves," upsetting all their established tradition and re ligion. Credibility and Incredibility are relative to the age. With the pro gressing conquest of nature and the spread of Intelligence .and education, what was incredible becomes credible, and what was long denied becomes ad mitted faot. No Danger from the Newcomers. In the current number of the Out look ..John Mitchell has an article arguing for further and much more stringent restriction of immigration by increasing the head tax to $10, re quiring each Immigrant to bring with him not less than $25 in addition to the amount needed to pay his trans portation to his ultimate point of destination and making prerequisite ability to read a section of our con stitution either in our language or his own language. It goes without saying that if this proposed program had heretofore been enforced for any length of time the progress of this country would have been seriously retarded, and it would never have enjoyed the growth of wealth and population which it has experienced. Mr. Mitchell concedes that such restrictions In the past would have been the height of ab surdity, but argues that we have now reached a point where we must fence out further immigration as a matter of self-protection to those who are al ready here. . He seems, however, to forget that this identical plea has been repeatedly made every little while for the last thirty or forty years, and that every successive wave of Immigration has raised the same dire predictions of ominous portent Where Mr. Mitchell and other ad vocates of exclusion fall short Is in taking surface indications without looking behind them. He makes much of ' the fact that immigration has reached 1,000,000 a year and pro fesses to fear that we will be unable to amalgamate such a large mass of foreigners or find profitable employ ment "for th 1,000,000 newcomers a year in addition to the natural in crease of our own population." In another passage he deplores the fact that too many of these immigrants come here as "birds of passage," send their savings home and go back as soon as they have acquired enough to live there comfortably. When he talks about finding employment for the "newcomers" Mr. Mitchell plainly falls to take into account th 200,000 or 300,000 that go back. He fails to take Into account the natural death rate among the "newcomers," which Is larger than that of our own popu lation, and be further falls to take Into account the large proportion of the "newcomers" who are women and children provided for by the bread winners and all who are not seeking employment In competition with our own wage-earnera. Mr. Mitchell makes much also of the large proportion of unskilled la borers among the aliens admitted to this country and the small number of skilled workmen, in consequence of which the "newcomers" must accept the first job and "at any wages of fered." It is true that th immi grants supply most of our unskilled labor, but that has never been a seri ous menac to our own wage-workers. Of the native-born American stock, th only class to which the country can look for unskilled labor la th negro la th south, md, except for th "newcomer much of tfcJa labgr would not be done. On the other side, the higher paid labor of the skilled workman depends largely upon the work of the unskilled laborer for example, the demand for locomotives made in factories employing top-priced experts must wait on the supply of common labor to lay or renew the tracks on which the locomotives are to run. The "newcomers," perform ing the more menial and lower paid work, unquestionably raise the level of skilled labor as well as the wages It commands. Neither Is it true that the Immigrant takes the first Job "at any wages offered." The compensa tion unskilled labor has been stead ily increasing and Is higher right here today thaa it ever was anywhere be fore. Ab a matter of fact. It Is no harder for us now with our 80,000,000 of people to absorb the "newcomers," numbering 1,000,000 a year, than it was fifty years ago, when the number seldom reached over 100,000. We are better prepared now with our per fected public school system and other facilities for Inculcating American cit izenship to take care of 1,000,000 "newcomers" a year and make their children true Americans than we ever were before. It Is perfectly' proper to shut out the vicious and the crim inal, the defectives and the paupers, but there Is no real danger now in ex tending the hand of welcome to able bodied, ambitious "newcomers" seek ing to better their condition by cast ing their fortunes with us any more than there was twenty-five years ago. The Tribute of the Market. Few men reach such eminence in the -world of finance as to command on their reath a tribute of the mar ket. Seldom does a man occupy a position In the realm of industry that his personality becomes more than a matter of local moment and his yield ing up the ghost more than a passing Incident in the steady onward march of human activity. The tribute of the market to the death of Mr. Harrlman is one of th most noteworthy features of the end ing of his remarkable career. This tribute is not to be found in a panic or in a wild demonstration of specula tion, but in the cognizance taken by the stock exchange quotations of the loosing of a master band. The mar ket did not wait to pay tribute until the death tidings had been trans mitted, -but it took notice of the first Information that the great financier was possessed by a malady that was sure to impair his continued useful ness and force his speedy retirement. If it did not quickly result fatally. The death of Mr. Harrlman was dis counted for days and weeks, and his associates seized time by the forelock to take every precaution against any disturbance that his death might cre ate. Had Mr. Harrlman died sud denly, without premonition, the tribute of the market might have been more spectacular, but it would have been no more a recognition of the potent force a single individual could exert than it was. The market will, of course, adjust Itself quickly to new conditions, and the lost influence of the dead will be merged In the unceasing struggles of the living. And yet the record will remain as the market measure of the financial value Of. the man. The Next Hapsburg Beign. With the exception of the present kaiser, the house of Hapsburg contains the most Interesting personalities in the royal families of Europe. It can not be long before the aged Emperor Franz Joseph joins the number of the august dead in his family and leaves the multiple cares of the empire to his successor. It was once predicted that the dis sonant elements of the dual monarchy could not be held together to the end ofthe present emperor's life of pri vate Iohs and grief. To the disap pointment of the ill-wishers of the status quo in Austria-Hungary, the prospect now entertained by Europe Is that th empire will be solidified and strengthened at the opening of an other Hapsburg reign. The change has come to pass because the Arch duke Franz Ferdinand, who became the heir at the death of his father, brother of the emperor, has turned out a man of strong character and, by re port, of great abilities. English-reading people have known little of the heir to the dual mon archy. , For various reasons of per sonal and imperial prudence, he has kept in the background, or been kept there. In the matterbf his marriage he took the bit in bis teeth, opposed the emperor and had his way. His wife was a Hungarian or Magyar no blewoman, who to the present Is mor ganatic in Austria, but possessed of all rights by the action of Parliament in Hungary. The future emperor Is un derstood to be preparing to obtain full rights of queenshlp for her when he ascends the throne. To this end he expects the assistance of the Vat ican, for he Is a strong churchman, highly favored by the political advis ers of the pope. He has made himself strong with the army by taking an in terest In desired reforms and making one of his own men chief of staff. An article In the National Review, which was first to acquaint the American and English public with th personal qual ities of the next emperor, says that all his relationships Indicates that he wishes to lustd the conservative, if not th ultra-conservative, forces of the empire, even to th extent 'of offending Hungary. In foreign affairs th archduke is supposed to dislike th German em peror and to be well disposed toward Great Britain and France. That feel ing. wUl not lleelf control the foreign policy of Vienna, but may be expected to hav its effect, though an American reader would not rely implicitly on the perfect Impartiality of the National Review when Anglo-German relations sre touched. Americans are not closely Informed on the men and measures of conti nental politics, but cannot avoid a live curiosity about the soon-to-be em peror, his personal qualities and the probable tendency of his policies. If an American were forced to calculate the future of the empire under the new monarch he would be disposed to think that, instead of success for a new and strong spirit as the European chancellories hope, the disruption which has been the nightmare of the present emperor's life might be the outcome. A strong-willed reactionary, devoted to the church and aflre with militarism, would be exactly the man, under some circumstances, to precipi tate an explosion. To Give Wisely. It may be taken for granted that somewhere there is full information about what became of Andrew Car negie's loan fund to Scottish stu dents, after a number of university men and literary papers charged the Ironmaster with weakening the self respect of graduates and lowering the standard of Scottish character. If he was affected or influenced by the charge few Americans have heard of the result. An American weekly, de voted chiefly to financial matters, raises the same question. What can a rich man do with a large amount of money without inflicting a great deal of harm? The vicious element in all public philanthropy is that you debilitate and not benefit when you do that for a man which he should do for himself. If any man will look back on his own experience he will see how little real good is done by lending money to the improvident. There are men of real public Bplrlt who believe that injury is done to character by the founding of libraries and colleges. These men hold that the easy abundance of modern foundations has plainly 'lessened the amount and worth of "single-hearted scholarship." It is not a subject to be settled with a quick dogma. Few men would throw an obstacle In the way of a gift for beneficent purposes. Yet there Is a line beyond which philanthropy Is not alway best for the recipients a line of doubt as to whether a well-intentioned gift does mora harm than good. The Saratoga Conference. After a debate, the principal fea ture of which was to develop an Irreconcilable difference of Tlew over the income tax, the Saratoga confer ence adopted a platitudinous plat form and presented to the country nothing of high moment. No issue Is raised looking toward the next presi dential election. The government is left In the hands of the republican party. No organization of a real op position party is outlined. Most of the declarations are perfunctory and inapplicable repetitions of old demo cratic platforms. As of old, we read of strict economy in government ex penditures. No note is taken of the fact that New York state and New York City are the most extravagant commonwealth and community in the country. There might be an Issue in the plank demanding that there should be no taxation of' corporations except by the states, "where their creation and 1 regulation should re main." That attack on the Roose velt and Taft policies is the view of some democrats when they talk the language of 1830, but would not last a week in a campaign. It would be flimflam to call it an issue. "No interference with the personal liberty of any citizen except such as Is essential to secure the equal rights of all the citizens." It would take a long debate to evoke the meaning of that declaration. It may be one of those sacred Jeffersonlan principles that adorn every democratic Bpeech, but never get Into an executive action. It may refer to suffrage In the south. It may be a protest against county option and prohibition. It may be a principle of Jurisprudence that every party 'approves. It may be intended merely to sound well. A number of the planks refer to New York states affairs. The aban donment of the Philippines was de bated to a finish in 1900, when, for a change, it was the paramount national Issue. Men who voted fpr the first time In 1904 were dimly aware that there had ever been such a question. Even the peace societies of New Eng land have laid it aside and the Fili pinos reserve it for their locally pa triotic occasions. When they talk heart to heart they prefer the protec tion of Americas armies and navies. Taking the Saratoga conference In detail or as a whole, for what It says or for what it insinuates, there is no emergence of a vigorous national party. What of its declarations mean anything are moralities to which nobody objects. It may be Important for what It omits. At any rate, it Is far away from bad currency, Gomper ism, public ownership of railways, guaranteed banks and the initiative and referendum. It asks for direct election of United States senators, a preference, but not an issue, and more like a timely thought, wise or not, than most of the other declarations. The Income tax plank resulted from a debate in which it was plain that the more powerful element proposed to antagonize th amendment, though it agreed outwardly to approve th prin ciple. Th pocXarenc must b m sal dls- E ppointment to its promoters. Even Its enemies expected a vigorous ex pression of opinion and a sharp di vergence from the weak thinking of recent New York democrats. It turns out nearly nothing and looks more like one side of a local New York factional fight than anything else. There Is some frowning because the centennary of Raphael Semmes, com mander of the Alabama, Is one of th yesr's events. Turning all the rebels out of southern celebrations woulU drive Major Hemphill out of a demo cratic convention and leave one grand Nebraska leader destitute of half his Joy on earth. In the interest of fair play and edu catipnal reform It has been suggested that every foot ball game be followed with a spelling match in the evening. Add the old college Bong, "I Was See ing Nellie Home." Social and Intel lectual training will then be as good as It was when our grandfathers were at It. Of Mr. Harrlman It Is recorded that men In hlB workshops called him their best friend, that he fought against death without a murmur and that all the properties Intrusted to him are left In good and prosperous condition. Is not that an epitaph to honor any business man? The 14-inch rifle that uses 800 pounds of powder at a discharge ought to be presented to the German warship that could not get out of the river where It was built. The kalBer would be grateful for suoh an easy way to Improve his budget. Mars is coming close to the earth. We can see water and oxygen In the Martian atmosphere. How exhilarating and exciting. Cook, Peary, Shackle- ton and Bleriot can get the send-off on equal terms. We bet that Cook gets back first, anyhow. Among the words that last and burn are those of Bishop Candler to college men to the effect that there Is no good work In stable fat.

This Justlc holds that dlreotor should direct, and that they are legally, as well, aa morally, culpable If they do not The idea that director must earn their salaries Is a new, not to say unpleasant, doctrine in the financial world. Ownership of the .North role. Springfield Republican. When th question of ownership of the American side of the North pole comes Into serious agitation, If It ever does, we shall probably find Great Britain pointing to the treaty of 1818 with tba United State. That treaty granted to Inhabitant of the United States th liberty, In common with th subjects of Great Britain, to take fish "and also on th coast, bays, harbors and creeks from Mount Joly on the southern coast of Labrador, to and through the k'.ralt of Bell Isle and thence north wardly Indefinitely along the coast." 'Northwardly indefinitely" would carry on to the pole and stop the,re, since to prooead further would Involve a southerly direction. Pointing to this provision the British might say that their claim In North America were her mad to Include all land and shores to the pole not other wise appropriated, and that th United State conceded th am.

Can keep my own away from me. -JOHN BURROUGHS, IMPORTED and AMERICAN MINERAL WATERS. Obtained a direct shipment from th springs a importer.
