The first part of Dr. Cook's story of his dash to the North Pole, for whose publication in Norwich The Bulletin ‘has acquired from the New York Her- ald the exclusive right, will be printed 4n The Bulletin Thursday —morning. The narrative will be published in\four installments on alternate days. The whole story, giving the full de- tails of Dr. Cook's daring exploit, is about 25,000 words long, and is pro- tected by copyright. It is a thrilling history of an achievement which has commanded the attention and interest of the reading people of all nations. HAY FEVER SHACKLED. At last the victims of the flying ragweed and goldenrod pollen in New England have found relief from this malady and_they will no more have to go to th& mountains. or to sea to effect a curef ‘or to sub-arctic regions One of the most emi- J to gain relief. nent physicians of Norwich, who is a great sufferer from this malady, 1is awake fto the fact past theories with reference to this disease have been false, that the pol len does not enter the body through the nostrils, but that it enters the eyes and In solution passes through the tear ducts into the nostrils, set- ting up symptoms like a severe cold in the head; and he Is wearing gog- gles resembling those of an automo- bile driver, which are so close fitting that the ragweed pollen is kept out of his eves, and he says, with befitting Kiee, that he can go into a ragweed patch and stir up the pollen without the least trouble to himself. This must be & great pleasure to him, as it is a great economy to others, for he will no longer tell patients to take a sea voyage for a cure, to'be told, as onc physiclan was Dy the sufferer: “I've Just come in from sea, that's where ) ®ot it!” or to go to the mountains wihere the low temperature and night frosts make endurable conditions for the aflicted. Now he will smilingly say, Get a pair of High Price's Hay Fever Shackling Spectacles, and the price will be as nothing compared to Swhat has been. He will then tell what his fee is, and in his happiness the patlent will not mind If it is a little higher than formerly, since the imp of misery may be shut out without flee- ing into cold atmospheres and close hotels many miles from home. HUGHES FOR DIRECT PRIMARIES Governor Hughes of New York be- Jeves in the people and their man- gement of public affairs. He be- eves the cure for stumbling democra- is more democracy. As the late eonard Bacon once sald to a citizen Who feared the people would make istakes: “Let them make mistakes, ey learn /from experience, and no @hne is wmore competent to correct the Euuk of the voters than the voters emselves In his address at the Oneida county Mir last week, Governor Hughes said: “We must look to the nominating zchinery as well as the election ma- thinery. “The people do noc intend to let any Tolerie or clique take away the rights %:hich belong to the many. ‘e greatest security we can have e the intelligent display of public epinion. “You can wrust public «opinfon bet- ter than you can trust some man who sniffs at the idea that people can man- ege public aftairs. The way to get a representative leg- tslawure is to make the nominations come directly from the party voters. Political leaders should stand before the people resting on the suffrage of the people. “It 18 best to recognize party organ {zation, but at the same time it shouid be held strictly agcountatle to the members of the party. “Why should plurality vote at the primarles be more feared than at the election 7" This is well put. It wipes out all political bugbears and drives all polit- fcal bogies out of the gam The New Haven Leader calls' Com- it as the Pole is all water and of the “high seas, he handed over to the gov- ernment simply a figure of speech! | It this discovery of the North pote is no more of a myth than Banta The national convention of the Let- ter Carriers’ association at St. Paul was a well directed as well as rather enjoyable affair. The convention tran- saqted much business of importance. One of the chiet subjects of discus- sion was the pension superannuation: 1t was decided to_co-operate with the other groups of clvil service employes in an effort to secure somte such sys- tem. A committee was appointed to confer with similar committces of oth- er bodies for the purpose of deciding upon a suitable plan. The convention showed most favor for the extended leave of absence plan, but decided not to indorse any specific system. but to leave the Proposed conference free to decide upon the plan deemed best. In the matter of readjustment of the rates In the life insurance department it was decided to take no action un- til the report of an-actuary appointed to look Into the subject had been re- celved. The national sick benefit as- sociation voted to increase its bene- fits from $8 a week for 20 weeks to $9 a week for 26 weeks. The merit system, which was estab- lished when the new system of in- creased pay went into effect, also came up for discussion. Although the general features of the system were indorsed, it was voted to lay before the postoffice department representa- tions on some of the minor particalars in which the system was not Dleasing. The letter carriers of America are ar active force and they kmow what they want and how they want it. They had a delightful time, and voted next year to meet at Rochester, N. Y. WHY ? The Springfield = Republican makes a thorough review of the case against Dr. Cook and answers in detail each of the specifications. It does not, however, explain one thing that counts seriously with doubters of his claim—namely, why he spent ' 18 months somewhere after finding the pole before reporting it to the world, when, naturally, a man proud of his achlevement would have made every ‘ort to make his report as soon as possible,—Waterbury American. The difference in the equipment and temperament of the men answers for this very well. Dr. Cook had no steam- vessel at his command to bring him home; then he appears to lack the sensational qualities of Peary. He is not blackening the repute of his broth- er in the name of fame, and since he thought Fate had swallowed up Dr. Cook he seized his belongings. The difference in the style and character of the two men is clearly shown in thefr difference in time in heralding to the world that “I am it EDITORIAL NOTES. The feats of Curtiss abroad show that the Americans are going to show the Europeans how to fly and fly high. If indications show anything it is that the Eskimos are not in' the near future to be regarded as reliable con- trabands. Mr. Harriman did not have his two- million abode quite done, but now he sleeps in lilies, Man's dreams are often disturbed. There is plenty of room for life in- surance agents, for of the insurable in this country only about one-eighth have taken out policies. S s ng herself Nature is arr in her reds, vellows and russets, and in a few weeks New England's hills will be enhaloed with beauty. The closing resorts of New Eng- land tell us that the summer of 1909 has played its engagements if it did close without an encore. As neither Peary nor Cook have showed symptoms of simplified spell- ing the American board cannot get in- to this Palar controvers Portland the other day received 20,- 000 live lobsters in two hours, which makes it the great New England de- pot for these crustaceans. The seventeen-year locusts always pave a flaming red W on their backs, and this is why the superstitious think their appearance stands for War. 1t Cook had brought the North pole home with him, as Peary says he I« doing, where would Peary now be?

But as he watched her he came to the con- cluslon that it was not such a bore, atter all, this idea of tying up wed- ding cake in boxes, when he saw the best man peer info the half-lighted corner of the plazza and then retire. “There is one thing I‘forgot” she] ‘was saying. “You must destroy each slip as it is drawn out, and only the lasc one ig read.” “Humph! Rather strict, isn’t it? It would give a fellow some satisfaction to know whom he had escaped. “Oh! but the charm won't work un- less you do!

Happy thought for today: The man who has been suddenly called on to prove his statements is always thereafter a little more careful about what he says. is from Commander Peary that It we have learned of “my Eskimos,” “our Pole,” and “my fame!” He will learn something from the American people later on. ‘Without the experience and the ad- vice of the Eskimos how far north could these valiant white men have gone? The Eskimo ‘names belong in the book as much as the Pole.

The License Agitation. There is every prospect of a lively license campaign this fall at the little town elections. It will be remembered that the last legislature passed a law providing that there shall be no vote on this question unless the petition for such vote is signed by ten per cent. of the registered voters. This wise and conservative provision cuts off mere agitational voting. It has been the custom, or at least It has been charged,that it was a custom, to start a vote on license for the sake of keeping up the interest, even when there was general indifference in the matter. It kept tife liquor men on the defensive and kept the femperance people arpused. That was the argu- ment. The new law cuts off that form of political diversion. It means busi- ness. If ten per cent. of the voters want the license situation changed, then there is evidence of considerable interest and the voting is not a mere whim or game of keep-them-awake. That is the condition this year, and it is interesting to note that the towns where petitions are circulating seem to be genuinely in earnest. The pres- ent licanse situation is that of the 168 towns 97 stand for no-license and 71 stand for license. At the last elections 77 towns voted on the question and of these 53 voted for license and 24 for no-license. It is interesting to nete Individuality Is What Counts In Photography.
