Items Gathered in From Far and Near

The South Pole. From the Springfield Union. Several causes combine to give ant

arctic exploration an interest to Amer

icans that it has not received forrat-r-

ly. I tie plan of the National Geo

graphic society and the Peary Arctic Club to fit out an expedition to race

against Capt. Scott of England for the

discovery of the south pole has been

met with a display of good feeling from

the other side of the Atlantic. Thers is apparently no disposition to regard the proposed American expedition as an intrusion upon a field of exploration that rightfully belongs to the English,

as some have maintained. It is recognized that the Americans, in approaching the pole from the opposite direction going from Cape Horn over a

route that is to a large extent untried

would be at a disadvantage. If it

could gain the coveted point in ad

vane oi uie Kngush expedition it

would deserve the triumph that would

mark such an achievement.

Cleveland's Railway Question. From the New York Tribune. The people and the street railwav

of Cleveland have become tired of

fighting. The people following, un til recently, Tom Johnson, were for j

o-eent fare. The street railways de

clared seven tickets for a quarter to

be the best they could do. The tw

parties to the controversy have com

promised on the basis of giving the

It-cent fare a trial and going then t the seven tickets for 'J." cents, if th

It-cent fare proves impracticable. The

It-cent fare has already received on

trial under what was virtually the man

pagemcnt of Mayor Johnson himself

ana tailed. 1 here is not much Hope

of its success this time. The high

rate, seven tickets for a quarter, w

probably pay in Cleveland for the

street railway companies, which shou

certainly know what financial retur are to be expected from the rate, ha

for several years been ready to accept

it. ,

ill

Keep Red Cross Stamp Alive. From the New York Sun.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp has

proved a great success thus far. As an agent of charity it has transferred thousands of dollars from the pockets of the benevolent to a charitable and philanthropic use in the prevention and cure of tuberculous disease. This method of collecting money for great charities, however. Is threatened with two dangers. Interest in the Ited Cross stamp is liable to decrease, as people become familiar with the same thing, season after season, and it loses its novelty. This is one danger. The other grows out of the ill advised attempts to make use of similar nonofficial stamps for advertising purposes. Thus we have before us a large blue stamp bearing the portrait and name of William J. Bryan, which was used during the last campaign of the great commoner, and a smaller gray stamp employed by a corporation which, publishes law books.

Call for Playgrounds. From the San Francisco Chronicle. The march of the 4,tRK school children of Stockton to emphasize the need of children's playgrounds ought to have its intended effect in awakening public interest there in the subect. A good many unthinking persons probably look on the playground movement as a sort of "frill" of modern education. It is not that at all. but only a tardy recognition of the rights of the child to a place for outdoor recreation as a means to health.

Little February. From the Buffalo News. The shortest month lias the most birthday holidays.

Bricks and Mortar. Two Irishmen were arguing who was the cleverer. "Well," said Pat, "I'll bet you can't tell me what keeps bricks together." "Shnre, said Mike. "It's mortar. "No." said Pat; "you are wrong; that keeps them apart."

MASONIC CALENDAR.

THE UNSEEN GOVERNMENT AND YOU Here is a question that has been bothering all the people in the United States who do their own thinking: What part does the voter play in the scheme of government? This is a question which is not to be answered by turning to school histories, nor by examining the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Speak truth within yourself, you who read this, and tell yourself what is in our heart. For it is only by this method that you, or we, will arrive at the fact of the matter. No writer for the press of the present time hopes so foolish a thing as that pretense of doing the thinking of his readers. His business is to furnish them something to think about. So we again suggest that you think on just how much you a unit of society, yes and your friends and their friends, all the rest of us, have to do with our own government?

Think for a moment on the party. Some of us have voted the straight ticket always. Some of us have availed ourselves of the advantages of the Australian ballot. But whether you are a voter of the straight ballot or a man who scratches his ticket, we wish to tail your attention to two curious things. When Speaker Cannon was in peril (due to the wrath of the people who had been backing up Roosevelt in his fight for honest legislation) the Democratic representatives from the city of New York came to his rescue. When in response to the wishes of the great mass of Americans a pledge was made for the revision of the tariff, what happened. Sundry Democrats in congress helped to place on the statute book the legislation which we now have. The pledge was that of both the great parties. The members of the party in power who voted against the measure because it was not a fulfilment of pledges made by the party, the presidential nominee and their own pledges to their constituents were called traitors to the party and disowned.

This is a matter to give pause to every self respecting man.

What is the party after all? You will reply, perhaps, that it is a means of expression of the people. But you who think will not answer so glibly. Is it after all? WHEN THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT, THE PARTY MUST BE AN EXPRESSION OF THEIR WISHES. IF NOT, WE HAD BETTER ADMIT, RIGHT NOW THAT WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR GOVERNMENT AND STOP TALKING ABOUT REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. Be honest, isn't that so? Figure it out. Are the people so helpless, so ignorant, so feeble that they are not capable of shaping the destinies of this nation. And the nation is only you all of you.

If you will admit for one moment that someone else is doing your thinking for you you will not be flattered in your own estimation. Yet every time that you allow the Speaker of the House of Representatives to tell you what the party is, every time that you allow yourself to be tricked into believing that the tariff has nothing to do with high prices and low wages, every time that you believe that laws aimed at the special privilege of large corporations should "not be passed because those interests are so powerful that they may precipitate a panic you are not doing your own thinking. Instead of a mind you have an intellect. The panic of 1907 the three of them, showed something. It was the wireless message for the people's ear that if Roosevelt insisted on the Square Deal that those interests which do not want a square deal would fight and fight YOU. When such a time come it means that the people of this country should be glad instead of hopeless though they walk the streets with no roof to house them. Because in that minute you have found the Unseen Government and what its power is. You know WHO is running things and how you can FIGHT IT. Speak truth to yourself. , Is it not a fact that it is you who are in unrest? And why? Is it not because you doubt the part you play in the government of yourself? The phrase may strike you as harsh as incendiary or as too quiet a statement of the mere outside of the case. George Washington was a rebel. Big business of those days called him an undesirable incendiary. When it became all too apparent that he and his fellow citizens were being exploited for the merchants of Big Business in London, he did not shrink from the issue.

This is no issue of arms. But the fight is with us still. When the time has come that. Senator Beveridge can be attacked bv men like Watson and Hemeiiway, the emissaries of the Unseen Government of this country attacked in the dark under the cover of the Republican party When the time has come that following the wishes of the people is held to disqualify a man for office, in the United States Senate Isn't it time to do your own thinking? Are you to be told by some paid agent of the Lobby what you are to think and what the party is? YOU are the party. And if you do not use your right it will be taken away from you to be used against you. Speak truth to yourself. Are these "lies and deceit?'

LATE HOURS PUNISH i THE FAT FOLKS It is the wisdom of ancient days that the fatter you become the quicker you weary. One sits out more dances than formerly, the flesh arrows weaker after 1 :. a. m.. in exact ratio to the lengthening of the waist measure. Kat is robbing: you of fun. jurt at a time when you have the leisure and the cash for it. You may reduce that fatty overplus, and so revive your flagging energies, if you will, in the simplest way. You can take off a pound of it a day, if you wish, without causing- weakness, or wrinkles, or calling upon exorcism; or dieting for help. For years fashionable fat people have been using the famous Marmola Prescription. a oz. Marmola. oz. Fl. Kx. Caseara Aromatic, 'i'i oz. Penpermmt Water. Now thes- SHine proportions have been combined, most elegantlv. into a tablet, the M. rm'tla prescript ion Tablet.

The Gray Day.

The sky of gray that hangs aloft

Is but an empty canvas where

Ere long the sun with colors soft

Again shall trace his picture fair.

The lonely sullen hours we know.

That seem so void of hope and cheer, re backgrounds over which shall glow

The pleasures that we hold most! dear. ;

The Timid Recitationist. "The boy who stood on the burning deck was a brave lad. "Yes." replied the school teacher; "he doesn't appear to have been nearly so scared as some of the boys who have since been called on to recite about him."
