HE MOST unfortunate thing about the polar controversy is that friends of Cook are beginning to believe that Peary did not reach the Pole, while friends of the latter are hav- ing doubts whether the former got there. The public abroad are beginning to believe that neither reached the Pole. The Pasquino, of Turin, publishes a remarkable cartoon in which it shows that Peary and Cook did not meet because ther reached the “big nail.” AVID JAMES BURRELL, pastor of the Ma Avenue and Twen- ty-ninth Street, New York City, is said to receive the largest salary paid to any minister in the United State: Inci- dentally, the choir of this church is said to be the best paid of any in the United States. We suppose that these facts are more or less interesting, judging by the amount of newspaper publicity that they have lately been receiving; but much more interesting are these: Dr. Burrell is an ‘* old-fashioned preacher,"’ who preaches an ‘‘ old- fashioned Gospel.’’ The services on Sunday end in this church not with some grand-opera solo, but with a simple song from an “ old- fashioned hymn book."” It coming unexpectedly upon a woman who had been a rosy-cheeked sweetheart of his barefoot days—he had them like any other natu- ral boy—he paused to pay her a little compliment. So simple and yet so frank it was that it was embarrassing neither to the President of the United States nor to the plain wife of a Western rancher. President Taft's career has been one of big tasks—to be more ac- curate, one of big tasks well done. Yet this incident shows that the affairs of state, big as they are and have been, have not been sufficient to blot out those finer and more delicate shadows of youth. In other words—with apologies to some one—"* Big Bill Taft simply * Little Willie Taft” grown tall. Junce: is glad that this is 8o, for little Willie was always such ‘* a tovable chap.’” TRIBUTE is paid in the current issue of Pearson's Magazine to one of the most modest and yet one of the most successful and ‘iginal business men in the United States. We refer to its story, captioned “‘ Making Dreams Come True,"’ by Zach Moore. It tells of the dream C. W. Post had while herding cattle for his health down in the Panhandle of Tex: From the ** stuff that dreams are made of’? has grown Post City. At the time of the dream Mr. Post hadn't more than enough money to buy a mess of bacon and beans; to-day he can—but that is another story. Says Mr. Moore, in concluding his artic Among the rather startlingly successful men of the United States—those whose successes are not of the forum and the ballot—Post stands out in bold relief. And, without infring- ing upon his copyright, it may be added that ‘ There's a reason.’”” 'UDGE, though not inclined to take Life seriously, wants to concur in the following decision about Mr. Bannard: ** Otto H. Bannard is the fusion candidate is quite some years since, with the restlessness of youth, we left the old coun- o _. try church, with its horse y “he next Issue of sheds in the rear and horse ; block in front, and came JUDGE’S EDITORIAL BENCH for mayor of New York. He is a Republican by pro- fession and practice; but never mind that. There is no better man around than Mr. Bannard. If we can elect him mayor we shall to the city toworship; but we are glad to have found in the Marble Collegiate Church a place where the ‘‘ old-fashioned Gospel” iape- will be just an ordinary number of Juncr, but it will contain contributions by the following : have a first-class mayor, and not a mayor for Re- publicans either, buta mayor for all the people of is preached, even though the church has on one side one of New York's most aristocratic hotels and on the other a tall skyscraper. HERE is room for a little sentiment in the life of any man, no matter how great he may become. Somehow, we have even greater admira- tion for President Taft after his speech in the Yakima valley inWashing- ton. He had been speak- ing on the great, burning who tells how ‘Gentle Jane celebrated the Hudson-Fulton celebration. HENRY JAMES who clears up the polar mystery.
