THE SOUTH POLE TRAGEDY
Cnptain'Scott And I'artj' Reach
Pole Hut l'erish In Return
London. Feb. 10. Captain
Robert Falcon Scott and four of
his comrades are dead victims
of the frozen south.
They reached the south pole
" January 18, 1912. and then per
ished miserably in a driving
blizzard on the journey back.
After attaining the pole they
faced about for the return to
civilization. For four months
thev struggled to get ., back to
"One Ton Depot," which they
had established 150 miles north
of the ultimate south.
But one by one they died on
the way. Seaman Evans died
from concussion of the brain on
February 17. Captain Oates
died from exposure on March 17.
Captain Scott, Lieutenant Bow
ers and Dr. Wilson died from
exposure and starvation during
a blizzard about March 29.
The whole world mourns the
loss of these heroic victims of
the terrors of the antarctic. One
consolation is that before they
died they achieved their aim.
, News of the tragedy comes
from the Torra Nova which ar
rived at Christ Church, New
Zealand, today, with the remain
der of the ill-fated expedition
under command of Lieutenant
Evans.
Captain Scott's party found
Ca Raold Amundsen's tents
and records at the south pole.

OUR JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
(By Special Correspondent)
Jefferson City, Feb. 8. Mis
souri men will be given an oppor
tunity to extend the ballot to
women at the next general elec
tion. The constitutional amend
ment to that effect has been re
ported favorably in both houses
and the sentiment is practically
unanimous in favor of its passage.
Woman suffrage is in the air and
the men will have to meet the
issue at the polls. Dr. Anna
Shaw of New York made the
leading argumeht before the
House for the submission of the
question.
The county unit bill will pass
the House. The tight over en
grossment of the measure dem
onstated that fact conclusively.
Just what kind of treatment the
bill will receive in the Senate re
mains to be seen. This Is not a
party question, but simply a
moral issue.
The House and Senate have
both gotten down to hard work.
Two sessions are held daily and
soon night sessions will be in or
der. The legislation the General
Assembly will enact is now being
formulated in committees. Many
of the most important bills will
be reported out this week and in
a short time the people will know
just what new laws will be writ
ten on the statute books. The
personnel of each House is above
the average and the General As
sembly is making a reputation as
a working body. It is thought
that an .adjournment will be
reached within the seventy full
pay days.
The Republican press is mak
ing a big howl because of the
number of clerks on the payroll
of. the House. It is true that
there are more clerks this year
than two years ago, simply be
cause there are more Democratic
members. In the 46th General
Assembly there, were eighty two
Democratic members of the
House, while in the 47th General
Assembly there are one hundred
and twelve Democratic members
of the House. With each Demo
cratic member having one clerk,
this explains an increase of thirty
clerks. But the Republicans
have no "big noise" coming.
When they controlled the 45th
General Assembly they had 111
more clerks on the pay roll in the
House than has the present
House. If it is claimed that the
4oth was a revision session" and
more clerks were needed, the
answer is that the House did not
revise the statutes, but let all
the work of revision out to a spe
cial committee at a cost of ap
proximately $50,000 to the tax
payers. So any way you take it
a Democratic administration is
about twice as economical as a
Republican administration.
