him the pole should be, he plant
ed a flag in the ice as a matter Of
sentiment, left some records and
started south. Peary arrived a
year later, going by a different
route. In the meantime any re.
cords left by Cook would have
been carried by the drift for hun
dreds Of miles, and would have
been forever lost.
To learn on his return that his
success had been preceded by that
of another man would naturally be
a great disappointment to Peary.
But he is entitled, neverthe less, to
the hearty welcome that awaits
him, and the glory of his achieve
ment is not at all dimmed by the
success of another. Peary has de-
voted the best years of his life to
northern exploration. The search

mission and Of his ambition on.

has been,a patient and painstak-

owes him a deep debt for the vast

northern regions, their people,

and air currents, and for astromi-,
cal and meteorological knowledge,

announcement would have aroused

announcement would have aroused
the world to such a pitch of en-
thusiasm as has seldom been
known. Coming as it did, after
the announcement of DR.. Cooks
success, it was startling, but the
attention that had been given to
d.. Cook had forestalled the Peary
announcement, and to some extent
had destroyed its force says the
Grand Forks Herald. It has been
evident for years that one of these
days some explorer would reach
the pole. Year after year expedi-
tions have set out, and one after
another they have come nearer and
nearer to success. Peary has held
the honor of reaching the farthest
north, until the journey of Cook,
and he and others had come SO
near the goal that it was newt
able the men should continue the
attempt until success crowned
their efforts. The world would
have received the announcement
of the success of Perry without in
credulity, but with wonder and adj
miration. The news of the sue
cess of Dr.. Cook caused surprise
because in spite of his years of ex-
perience as an explorer he is little
known to the general public. The
fact, if it is a fact, that within a
year two men, working separately,
and entirely out of touch with
each other, should have reached
the goal SO many men have during
many centuries tried in vain to
reach ia SO remarkable as to be
almost Incredible. And yet there
is nothing impossible about it.
Where one man can go another
may find his way.
The fact that Peary found no
trace of Cook on the long tramp
to the pole proves nothing and
means nothing. It would have
been miraculous had a trace, been.
found. The journey after the last
settlement of natives was left was
one of some 500 miles on foot,
most Of it across fields Of ice, drift
ing, opening into channels and
closing again, grinding and crush
ing under the res%istless force Of
tides and currents. Over such q
field Cook started a year ago last
