PLAIN DUTY IN THE COOK CASE.

The case of DR.. Cook and his claims rs an
explorer has now reached new phase. y
charge of the gravest kind is made against him,
not by a more or less exasperated rival at long
range on the dubious hearsay word of savages
but on the sworn testimony of an American
citizen who was in his employ and who was his
companion on his former notable exploit. The
charge is that DR. Cook did not go to the top
of Mount Mckinley, as he claims to have done;
that he did not get within some miles of the
summit, and that to bolster up his pretensons
he faIslfied diary records and took fake"
photograph. 1t may be added that there have
hitherto been various expressions of doubt as
to the truth of Dr. Cooks story about the ascent
Of that mountain but this is the first time that
an explicit and a responsible denial of it has
been made
1t must be obvious to DIR. Cook and his friends
that such an accusation cannot be ignored, nor
can explicit Reputation and disproof of it be
postponed moment longer than is necessary,
without the creation of deplorable impression
upon the public mind. In the matter of the
North Pole there has already been delay, with
an air of jaunty and complacent indifference,
amazing to the public and disquietng to those
who wish to see DR.. Cook fully indicated. A
similar attitude toward this latest accusation,
while DR.. Cook is diligently pocketing box office
receipts and accepting hOnors of all kinds, would
be embarrassing to his friends. compromising
TO him and humiliating TO the American nation
The truth about the Mount Mckinley episode
is. happily. more easily and promptly suscep-
tible of demonstration than that of the North
Pole expedition. Dr. Cook says that he left
records at the top of the mountain. If so, they
are there now, and can be found by the next
explorer who goes there. If it is humanity pos
sible somebody ought to go there at the earliest
possible opportunity. Dr. Cook himself ought
to be eager to lead a party to the spot. If that
is not done then the man who makes this grave
charge should be eager to lead a party to that
easy halfway resting place at which the al
legged fake" photograph was taken. For either
party at this stage of the to falter or delay
to make good either the claims of great achieve
ment or the charges of almost incOnceivable
turptitude would be nothing short of scandal
GUS Men of honor not to say of common hon
eSty. surely cannot call each other liars and
impOstors, or suffer themselves to be thus
called, and then do nothing more about it.

JUDGE HANFoRD TAKES EXCEPTION.


Judge C. H. Hanford. of Seattle, takes e1cep-
ton, in a communication which appears else
where in this issue. 10 certain comments OF
The Tribune on public utterance in which he
attacked the conservation Of natural resources
policy; but even in this communication he
seems 10 pursue the very course criticised. to
ignore the fundamentals while he condemns
certain details of method.
Judge Hanford's statement. for instance. that
mo person can go upon the land within a for
lest reservation and cut log for
cabin or A stick 10 make his coffee boil with
.1out liability TO prosecution for trespass.' con
veys wrong and unfair impression No
PERSON can go upon forest reservation and cut
any timber without permit but the forest
regulations expressly provide that permits shall
bc issued for the free of timber and stone
20 'b0na fdc settlers. for minerals and for
''frewood fencing building mining. prospect
ling and other domestic purposes may be
needed by such persons for such purposes.
They also enumerate a long list Of especial
uses' for which permits may Ice granted. The
necessity for requiring persons who would 90
rpoI the national reservations 10 secure per-
NIT before they cut timber. etc. is so obviously
necessary to prevent abuses that il hardly seems
50 call for defence
u is difficult 10 amy very material diff
ference between the platform Of the Conserva
ton congress in lis reference TO water power.
and the utterance Of the President and IT,. pc
sti0n taken 10y The Tribune except that Mr..
Taft suggests shorter term leases. No one OF
these would suspend the development of the
water power. Judge Hanford said in the
speech with which took issue. NJ Taft
expresses the opinion that short term leases
would not interfere with such Development The
Tribune suggested long term leases. but no one
desires 10 suspend development, as Judge Han
ford first declared.
The essential and fundamental principle Of
me conservation policy is found in the declara-
don of she Conservation Congress that 1.-The
waters belong 10 the people" and that neither
state nor federal government should ALLEVIATE
s.water power by granting franchises in per-
spetuity." That principle Judge Hanford com
pleteiy ignored in the speech we criticised and
he makes no reference TO il now. And yet il
seems obvious that such water power becomes
valuable only as the people settle in its yicln-
ify and thus make market for il, and that.
therefore. some provision by which sucn value
as the people haTe created shall be reserved for
the people is equitable and proper

lected under the existing tariff law
have averaged 300 million dollars per
annum during the past three years
the largest sum being in the fiscal

amounted to 329 million dollars. In

The share which the customs duties
have borne in producing the reven-

of internal revenue was established

being in round terms 3S million dol

NOT the COOLEST APRIL

Mr. Chapel, who superintends the
Des Moines weather bureau, informs
THE Register and Leader that April
averaged lower in temperature two
Years ago than during the present sea
|son. Two years ago there was warm.
Ter weather in March. The impression
THAT April has been an unusually cold
month is due to the continued chilly
weather throughout both March and
April.
But taking March and April together
there have been colder springs. Ex-
sctly ten years ago in 1899, the mean
for the two months was
3S.S as against 1874 for the present
year. In 1881 the temperature for the
two months was 1856, an average of
nearly three degrees lower than for
the past two months.
( Mi. Chapel has prepared a table
giving the mean temperature for
March and April of every year since
1879, period or thirty years. 1t is
worthy of preservation, as a basis of
comparison for other cold spring
months:
