The Incident is Closed
And All Are Happy.

The Lakeland News says: The
editor of The Pensacola Journal, d
kindly and courtly gentleman, whose
chief fault-a lovable faults ex-
traTagance in commendation of his
friends, prints a far too compliment
tary notice OF this paper, which we
would not reproduce for the world.
However, the amiable Miami Metrop-
oils hastens to correct any tendency
towards swell-head that might have
developed, being SO surprised and
amused that anyone could write well
OF US that il copied the paragraph and
placed IL under a discrediting and be-
lifting headline. Il is within the
eternal fitness OF things that the only
newspaper in Florida ever eyidencing
an unkind feeling towards this editor
is that one to which he gave the best
years Of his life without recognition
or reward" ...
Tut, tut. Hetherington, don't take
things so seriously. That weird wish
that Tyler wished to be your linotype
machine was too utterly utter to be
treated seriously. We merely cata-
logued and captioned It properly.
Your place in Florida journalism is
too secure TO mind a small thing like
that. 1t is one of the penalties that
are levied on the great ones of earth

A Report Which Confirms
Ones Faith in Cook.

When one listens TO a story con-
corning some event or performance
over which there hangs a shadow OF
doubt, he is often Influenced pro or
con by some trifiing detail-an inter
jected expression not directly con-
nected with the line of evidence. For
it is often wiser to form a judgment
by reading between the lines of what
may be labored partisan effort to
establish belief than by pinning too
much faith on the lines themselves.
And one of the best pieces of evil
that Cook did reach the pole is an in
cident in the story told by explorer
Knud Rasmussen to the captain of the
Greeland administration steamer God
thaarb, and repeated by this captain,
Schoubye by name, upon his arrival
at Denmark on the 18th of this month.
Rasmussen had gone in search of the
two Eskimos who, Cook declared, &C
companied the explorer to the pole.
The young men had gone too far
north to be reached at this season,
but Rasmussen saw other Eskimos
who had interviewed I-took-a-shoo and
Ah-pe-lah and who declared that the
statements of these men confirmed
Cooks claim.
Now this is the incident to which
We refer as it was given in a special
dispatch to The New Orleans Times
Democrat and as printed in many
other newspapers North and South:
ssThe North Star Bay Eskimos said
that the day before he arrived at the
pole Cook, after making observations
and calculations, fell on the necks of
his companions and laughed and cried
saying: Tomorrow we shall be
thsrei'"
Here is a touch of nature interiected
In this story which, it must be admit
ted, would scarcely have been put
there designedly by these ignorant in
habitants of the arctic regions. 1t
gives a rare color Of truth to the
whole statement, will go far toward
strengthening the faith of those who
have heretofore believed Cooks claim
and should gain for him new ad-
herents.
