FOR THE SAKE OK ADVEXTl'RE.
Report has it, says the Portland
Evening Telegram of Sept. ISth.,
that at au early date a party of
Englishmen will equip another expe
dition for the Antarctic region of
eternal ice, with the purpose of
making more exteusive and thorough
exploration o£ that frigid corner of
the world than has yet been made.
This is interesting as a news item,
but it is apt to suggest the in
quiry—why?.
Both Poles have been discover
ed, and the mystery that in many
minds surrounded them before they
were discovered is found to be no
mystery at all. The science of ge
ography has gained somewhat, tho
to no practical effect so far as the
layman can discern; and consider
able exploration literature of a
more or less interesting character
is given to the world. So far as the
world itself is concerned these rep.
resent substantially the gain from
Polar explorations.
The lure of the unknown has al
ways been a powerful and compel
ling motive with mankind. It
brought Columbus to the West In
dies, Balboa to the Pacific and
Cortez to Mexico. It has been !n a
measure the prophet of Western and
the later African civilization. But
until now there was something to
it beside the spirit of adventure.
Thert was the dream and even the
substantial hope of rich/as of con
quest a»d acquired domain. Greed
vanity, ambition were all to be
gratified, and in the gratification
of thes« new worlds were discovered
and a new civilization born. Ad
venture was an incident, the es
sential spice to all these other
achievements.
But with th« world's usable ter
ritory discovered, surrounded, map
ped, made known, with only lifeless
expanse of ice left as the unknown,
the love of adventure must stand
sponsor for the sacrifices to be
made in future explorations. The
world may become rational enough
by and by to question if the game
is worth the candle.
It takes a splendid type of man
hood successfully to brave the suf
fering, the privation and the hazard
of a polar expedition. It requires a
high order of executive abliity to
plan and conduct such enterprise;
a«d the chances are many that
'hese may go for naughtt. But if
success is the result, what's the
gain compared with what manhood
anil activity could achieve in mapy
other and more useful directions?
When we consider the matter in
real rational mood, the verdict must
be—it's a waste of good material.
Women Are Best Fitted For Homemaking
By Dr. SIMON BARUCH, Professor of Hydrotherapy, Columbia University
I WOULD not say that genius is a masucline .quality, for woman has
shown the GENIUS FOR CIVILIZATION, for home building,
and I believe that there is nothing that man can do that would equal
the IMPORTANCE OF HOMEMAKING, of civilization. Without
tiiat what would we have amounted to? Emerson said, "The influence
of pood women is the test of civilization."
But whenever woman deviates from her finest feminine qualities she
LOSES THE REAL TOWER that enabled her to bring about civili
zation.
WHEN HER FEMININE QUALITIES ARE MERGED INTO MASCU
I IMP QUALITIES SHE FAILS TO ACCOMPLISH IMPORTANT WORK.
Peace Maintained by Governments
By ELIHU ROOT, United States Senator From New York
WE hear much of peace todav, but let me tell von the peace of the
world is MAINTAINED'BY THE GREAT GOVERNMENTS
OF THE WORLD. . v
IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS, BUT THE PEOPLES, FROM
WHOM THE DANGER OF WAR COMES TODAY AND WILL ALWAYS
COME SO LONG AS THEY FAIL TO EXERCISE PROPER SELF RE
STRAINT AND THE COURTESY THAT THE PEACE OF THE WORLD
DEMANDS.
We in America must learn that we CANNOT CONTINUE A
POLICY OF TRACE WITH INSULT We must learn civility. We
must learn that when an American sovereign speaks of the affairs of a
foreign nation he mnst observe those rules.of courtesy by which alone
the nonce of the world can he maintained. >
