It, is lmpOSSlble not to sympathize with Lieutenant Peary and his two com- paniOns in the suffering and privation which they expel-isnced in endeavorins to reach the elusive object known as the North Pole. It is impossible also to re- frain from feelings of admiration for the intrepidity, fortitude hndpersisten-' cy which they displayed in the face of extremitieswhich seemed almost hope- less. The tile which they bring home from the desolation of the Arctic ice fields is a most pathetic one, and that I they survived the terrible ordeal which they underwent seems like a miracle. A The fact that the Perry expeditidn has practically ended in absolute fail- ure, however, is not an unmixed evil. Undoubtedly these men deserved a better return for their daring and , labors. No one desired to see them bullied in their heroic and unselfish ef- forts to penetrate to the North Pole after they had set out on their mission, and there will be no rej oicing over their failure to accomplish the purpose they had in hand. Nor is their failurea cause for chagrin and humiliation on their part... Other men equally Draw: and equally disinterested have met the same experience on the same errands and it would have, been astonishing if Lieutenant Peary and his comrades had succeeded where they did not. I But if the failure of the Peary eXpedi- tion serves to discourage further quests of its kind it will have accomplished one good purpose. . The discovery of the North Pole would not add one iota . to the comfort and happiness of tl e human'race, and what the character of that object or point maybe is-chiefly a matter of idle curiosxtii'. 'Too 7 many useful lives have already been lo.~.t in trying to run down this: secret, and it ’is high time that the foolish chase was abandoned by sensible men. It is to be hoped m» anwhile that the'experience of the Peary party will be earnestly pondered by the reckless European adventurer who is now preparing to “reach” the North Pole by baloon. The People and the Bosses. Dr. Parkhurst recently wrote ,a letter from Swuzerlnud, in which he look oc- casion to exoress Inis gratification over the defeat of Senator Coggshall. in the and Republican primary convention, his hop: that Lexiw would sharevthe same fate. In tnisconnection the rev- crened gentleman remarked that “it would be a healthy customif, at the end ofa representative’s term, the incum- bent was summoned before a mass-meet,- ing of his constitutcnts and required to rendei a public account of his steward- ship.” Something of this kind, 116 add- ed, is in vogue 111 parts of Scotland The "Raleigh News and Observer says that this custom formerly prevailed in North Carolina, which drew many 0 the best of ltd early settlers from Scul- land, and that it has served the purpose 'wilLbe up on is a line and costs amounting to a con-,_ of informing the people of the acts of the Legislature'at a time when newspa- pers were not common, whileE-it also af- forded an opportunity for a his 11’s con- Ititutents to question him about any dereliction of duty. ’Noting these ex— IpreSsions the New York Evening PoSt says: ”Such a practice was appropriate tca period when the people picked out members of the Legislature, but has naturally died out under modern condi- tions of choice. ~ The lawmakers, how-. ever, have not ceased to render any ac- count Iof their stewardship. On the Contrary, they report with great fre- quency during the session to their act~ ual constituents—Ilka bosses who give them their places’ A mass meeting of the State Senat 1r’ s constituents to hear him “render a pub- lic account of his stewardship” might not do any particular harm, butit would be an unprofitable use of his constitu- ents’ time. In these days every intelli- gent citizen can find out, day by day, just what his Senator or his Assembly- man or any other public servant is do- ing. more- than fills the place of such 11 meeting as Dr. Park- hurst suggests. As the Raleigh paper remarks, that plan obtained in North Carolina when newspapers were not common. It was superseded by the press. Not- only do Ilhe daily papers report what public servants are doing, but they hold them to a strict accounta- bility. The press took Coggeshall in hand and promptly laid him oiit. The Evening Post’s notion that the people no longer “pick out members of the legislature” is a bit of Mugwumpian bile. The bosses are uoImore powerful now than they were in the first half of the century, do they use their power now with half the self-confident l‘he one-man The press 1101‘ assurance of old times. power has become obsolete in the old meaning of the term.
