The Journal publishes a dispatch

Greenland, declares that Cook once
made the following statement.

The Journal also declare that DR..
Cooks lecture made bad impression

himself has been disillusioned.
The Petit Parisien says the world
will acclaim Peary the heal conqueror

appropriate to himself the honor

Speaking to the Associated Press,
DR.. Cook said:
Il am perfectly willing to put my
records before the American coast
and geodetic survey to be compared
with those of Commander Peary, but
| do not see why | should be asked
for such a comparison first"
Asked if he had any message for
the public. Cook replied
Don't you think that would be
rather presumptious? All l want is
to get home to my wife and child
rem and TO finish my work.

AGAINST COOK IN PARIS.
Drift of Sentiment That Explorer Will
Have Difficulty in Proving Claim
over Peary.

Paris,-The press of Paris contin-
ues to be absorbed in the rival claims
of DR.. Cook and Commander Perry to
the discovery of the North Pole, and
there is a noticeable drift of opinion
that DR.. Cook will have difficulty in
proving the validity of his claim in
the face of the success of an expert
enced explorer like Peary.
Practically al the newspapers agree
that DR.. Cook has passed into the
background since Peary entered upon
the scene, and some of them declare
that Pearys appearance will doubt
ed more than ever.

in this State is to be temporary un-
less the voters in the 81 wet counties
that are to hold local option elections
on Tuesday, August 18th, declare for
perpetual dryness.
Due to the strategy OF the prohi-

and nothing to lose in the approach

"half and half" 21 counties being
already in the prohibition camp and
exactly the same number being OFF,
cially engaged in the sale of intoxf-
cants under what Is known as the
county dispensary system. The law
enacted at the last session of the
Legislature took no account OF the
territory already dry, providing only
for elections In the wet counties to
determine whether they should re-
main wet or join their sisters of the
white ribbon camp. Further, that
the folk in the dispensary counties
might have a taste Of prohibition be-
fore despositing their ballots, the
prohibitionists had it provided that
all dispensaries shall close two weeks
before the elections and remain clos
ed until the result of the elections Is
known.

ed an opinion to the effect that the
result of the elections would not be

the State Board of Canvassers, which
means that county grog shops will
be closed for at least a month. AS
Governor Ansel has concurred in the
opinion it stands and any attempt to
open any dispensary before the vote is
officially declared would unquestion-
ably mean the dismissal from office
