Credible and Incredible.
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

Add the old college Bong, "I Was See

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?

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

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

'Northwardly indefinitely" would carry

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

why. Naturally, the women of th congre
gatlon look upon the deacon as a mean,
crusty old lot.
Charleston New and Courier: Tth west

short sermon. Of course it was on Sun
day. This may not ba sensational, but it

Baltimore American: A minister In New
Tork say that th clas hatred between
capital and labor must end. The only
trouble about this allrulstlo program Is
that as yet neither labor nor capital seems
to appreciate the pressing necessity.
Chicago Record-Herald: - The St. Louis
priest who wants to give to each married
woman a vot for every daughter she has
and to every married man a vote for each
of his son is not likely to arouse much en
thusiasm In the more fashionable districts
of our great cities..
Cleveland Plain Dealer: An eastern
clergyman recently appeared in his pulpit
arrayed In white flannel. This may be a
hard knock for tradition, but It doesn't
appear that the pastor' comforting assur-

ACCENTING FEATURE of the new Melville Clark SOLO APOLLO. It ac
tually EMPHASIZES THE MELODY without Impairing the symmetry and
power of the ACCOMPANIMENT. It expresses the intent of the composer

brilliant effect, every Intricate passage. It -Is the only Player Piano In the
world that accents as the greatest pianists do when playing a composition.

WAITING.
Kerens, I fold my hands and wait.
Nor care for wind, or tide or sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate.
For lo! my own shall come to ma.
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avail this eauer pacet
I stand amid th eternal ways, -
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day.
The friends I seek are seeking me
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny. ( .
What matter If I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart ahail reap where It has sown.
And garner up its fruit of tear.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height,
So flow tn good with equal law
Unto th soul of pur delight
The stars com nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the ea:
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high.
Can keep my own away from me.
