THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 1909
Good afternoon, Mr. Treasurer C6nkling, arc you willing yet to
accept the principle that in spending public money you ought to buy
supplies as cheaply as you can? You haven't been spending public
money long, but it oughtn't to take long to learn so simple and plain
a lesson as that.
Perhaps the wave of -Territorial economy doesn't count between
friends.
THE NORTH POLE AT LAST.
The discovery of the North Pole, or rather the reaching it, if final
reports confirm the cables of today and yesterday, is a fact that will
mark a date in history as long as our civilization lasts, and preserve
the name of Dr. Cook with it. It has been a long contest of endurance,
foresight, and luck, with little material advantage to be won for the
human race by success, but long lasting fame for the winner. It has
made many a thrilling story of battle with the elements, and the final
success of Dr. Cook in reaching the spot so long inaccessible will prob
ably not end it all. Just as it is a prideful boast to have mastered the
Jungfrau, it will come to be a boast of those able to do it that they
have stood at the Pole. If Dr. Cook has really stood there, he has
shattered some dreams, among those capable of having their dreams
shattered, which is by no means all of the human race. Such Mor
n Ons, "for example, as have thought that the North Pole was a park
habited by the Lost Tribes, are not likely to have, their dream disturbed
bv any such proposition as a scientific report of what is really at the
Fole. Dr. Cook has .perhaps prevented another generation from get
ting the same dream, but if anyone thinks he can disturb it in this, he
does not appreciate how' faith, once wedded fast, to some fond fiction
"hugs it to the last."
Perhaps the South Pole will now get more attention. Lt. Shackle
ton has' just returned after getting nearer than any predecessor.
In this region, our own Captain Cook made a start long ago, making
a record that lasted 125 years. But of late the North Pole has been
the great objective, lt is possible, even likely, that Lieutenant Peary
has reached it, making two American expeditions successful in t"c
same year, in the great contest of the nations. It will be remembered
that but a few' weeks, ago Peary's friends expressed the opinion, judg
ing from his known movements up to the time he disappeared in the
wastes of snow from which Dr. Cook has just emerged, that he had
nached'the Pole. What would be his emotions on finding there, the
traces Dr. Cook may have tried to leave of the Stars and Stripes Peary
wanted so much to raise first on the long-sought spot?
EXHIBITS A SUCCESS.
Clement G. Smith, of Benson, Smith
& Company, who returned a few days
ago from tho Coast, brings an Interest
ing story concerning tho exhibit or

our ex.queen:s BIRTHDAY.
The seventieth birthday of Ex-Queen Liliuokalani today sees a party
of American Congressmen gather at her home, many years ago so
aptly name as Washington" place, to accept her invitation and visit as
her guests the home she has so long occupied. The Queen has long
ojoyed a growing popularity and respect among all classes of the
people of Hawaii. All the world knows of the dissentjpns of a decade
ago and beyond that. There were in those days; among her own peo
ple, those who did not follow her as their head. Now they all look up
to and respect and love her, and all like to show it. Among the whites
too there were people on both sides. But now that the contest is over,
all look with the deepest and most kindly sympathy and good will on
the lady whom the community honors today. It is perhaps rather a
striking fact that the one of the men who led in te events of '93, even
1.: her prosecution, was recently her attorney inka legal matter.
The hula literature which flooded the Mainland for years has given
n any Americans an impression hard to remove, that Hawaii is a semi
savage land, and a few surviving ignoramuses still incline to picture
and describe the islands. accordingly. The members of Congress who
paid their compliments and respects to the former Queen today met a
lady of high culture and education, an authoress and composer, some
of whose works arc in no danger of dying, and as to themore recent
stages of her life, one who has filled a position of uncommon difficulty,
with splendid tact and discretion. The community wishes her many
more such receptions as that of today.
The treasury seems to need a bigger calibre man. Being criticized
by The Star for' directing the Registrar to abandon a plan to buy sup
plies from the lowest bidder. Treasurer Conkling withheld an opinion
of the Attorney General he was asked by the Attorney General to
transmit to The Star, for a week, and then transmitted it with a let
tei of insulting sarcasm. the opinion happens to state very definitely
that the Registrar has a legal right to call for bids, which may or may
not account for the Treasurer's delay in obliging the Attorney General
by forwarding it. Since then, this large-minded Treasurer has been
aisgracing his office by some petty outside campaigning against The
Star. - The community .smiled indulgently when the name of Conkling
was given out for Treasurer, and those wflb remembered that it was a
position Samuel M. Damon once cave his time to, could not avoid
misgivings.
