MEANS COOKS EXIT
Comment Of the Globe on BarrIrs
Testimony About Explorer

Comment Of the Globe on BarriII's
Testimony About Explorer
Commenting editorially on the affi-
davit of Edward N. Barrill, which it
published yesterday afternoon the
Globe says:
Smashed is Dr. Cook by the sworn
narrative of Edward ~ Barrill, Cooks
sole companion during the period that
Cook travelled in imagination to the
top of Mt Mckinley
Barrill, not realizing the gravity of
the offense, consented to keeping sill
ent about the Mount Mckinley fraud
A guide doesn't deem it his business
to contradict a fisherman as to the
number of fish caught. But the mat
ter took on another aspect when
Cook came out of the north with his
cock and bull story concerning the
discovery of the pole
The similarities between the Mount
Mckinley hoax and the north pole
hoax are readily observable, in one
case as in the other there was a dis
sipation of the party and a reduction
of the number of witnesses. In both
there was a careful preparation of
fabricated record. Both narratives
were garnished by recitals of tremen-
dous difficulties overcome by miracu-
GUS escapes. Measurably successful
in fooling the world concerning one
mental journey, one can understand
why the other was projected, and
why an objective was selected whose
pretended attainment would fructify
into a fortune from lecture receipts.
Even now doubtless an irrepress-
ible minority will persist in believing
Cook, but as for nearly 200 years
there has been an irrepressible min
ority that denies virtue to vaccination.
But to those of sanity the Mount Nc
Kinley revelation means the exit of
Cook, the intrepid explorer, and the
entry of Cook one who has chosen
a queer road to immortality.
