COMMANDER PEARY VERSUS DR.
COOK.

While Commander Peary has been
swift to denounce Doctor Cook as d
faker-and Peary's friend Bridgman
has charged Cook with appropriating
Peary's stores-the world is taking
sides with reference to who really dis
covered the PoIe--if it has been dis
covered at all.
The controversy which Command r
Peary seems to have voluntarily
brought on involves several very pc
ruliar features-all of which are in
tsresting. For example:
Pearys friends claim that DR. Cook
could not have reached the Pole by
following the course which he claims
he did-and Peary himself declares
that the Eskimos on whom DR.. Cook
relied for assistance have assured
Peary that DR.. Cook did not go out
of sight of land.
Scientists. however in reading
Peary's description of his progress to
the Pole, find that is comedies with
many of the statements of DR. Cook,
and therefor Peary himself is becom-
ing a witness in behalf of DR.. Cooks
own statements.
According to Peary's statement
published on September 9th, he de-
clares that he took to the sledges on
February Is of the, present year,
reaching Cape Columbia on March list
and crossed the seth Parallel of
North Latitude on March %, and the
top of the earth on April 6.
Thus, in the short period interven-
ing between February 15-when
Peary left his winter quarters-and
April following-or exactly so days
-Peary reached the North Pole
Here, then, is a fiat contradiction
of the argument that Cook could not
have reached the Pole in the time he
states he did, after leaving winter
quarters in the winter OF 19OS-for
Peary covered the same distance much
quicker.
Again, Peary complains that "Dr

THE INCOME TAX AND HIGH
TARIFF.

We would like to say word or two
about the income tax and the tariff.
If you will read the utterances of
President Taft in his speech of Tues
day you will note that he claims to
have opposed the income tax because
it would raise more money for gov
ernmental purposes than the govern
ment required if the protective policy
were continued, and he adds signifi-
cantly, the republican party is
pledged to the protective policy"
In other words. the president places
the policy of the republican party
above the welfare of the common
people.
Looking at the thing in another
light, President Taft proves by his
own words that parties and their pol
icies which are supposed to be tools
through which the people of this
country are to be benefited have
made the people the victims of the
very instruments which were created
for their coed.
For is it not being proved every
day that the only ones to be benefited
by high tariff are the monied in
terests, the monopolies such as the
Sugar Trust, the Standard Oil Trust
and the Steel Trust? Have we not
always found that where these inter-
ests caused one dollar to be dis
tributed in wages. they put four dol
lars into their own pockets? And
mind you, this was not accom- 'ished
solely because the mon at the head
of these institutions had more brains
ln,. h.n so
they evaded certain laws and took
advantage of such institutions as a
high tariff and railroad rebates. They
tilched over half of their fortunes
from the rank and file because of the
subserviency of just such officials as
President TAFT is proving himself
to be.
Again it is proved beyond question
or cavil that the high tariff is raising
the cost of living; that the common
people are paying the bills and bear
ing the burdens. If another means of
raising money for governmental pur-
poses exists which viii better distrib-
ute the burden of taxation as the
president admits, why is it not the
duty of men in public Office sworn to
serve the whole people, to adopt that
course and abandon policies that are
clearly antiquated? Why, we ask,
should it be the office of the repub-
lican party to keep the majority of
our people in bondage while the mill
lionaire parasites of the country sap
out their life blood?
Is there any reason why the repub-
lican party should cling to time
worn nrinriple inst for the sake nf
tradition? There Is not. hTere can
be no more Justification for IL than
there is for farmer who insists on
driving the old family mare whose
usefulness passed away ten years ago.
With just this qualification, there is
some reason for the love and tradition

Cook made a sneak into the north
with no pretense that he was trying
to reach the North Pole and, learning
from the Eskimos the course which
Peary had pursued on his last jour-
ney into the Arctic regions, was able
to take advantage of a great deal of
hard work which Peary had already
performed.
But this is another admission that
DIR. Cook accomplished just what he
says he did-for IL he did not reach
Peary care about information which
Cook obtained from the Eskimos and
the advantages gained from Peary's
last dash into the North?
The pertinent question is-"Did DR..
Cook reach the Pole ?"-and not the
methods which he adopted to accom-
plish that result.
Without regard to the merits of the
case in behalf of either man-it looks
as If DR.. Cook has assumed a very
much more dignified course touching
this matter than that which has char
acterized Commander Peary.
DR.. Cook says that IF Commander
Peary says he has reached the North
Pole, it is undoubtedly true that he
has done So
This compares most favorably with
the adverse criticism which Peary
makes of DR.. Cook-though, OF course,
one must remember the great disap-
pointment under which Peary labored
when he found that his claim of or
iginal discovery had already been

fine. In fact, IL could not be collected
because of a technical error in the
commitment papers. But this error
could be corrected il the government
so desired
But Burton was as poor as the
proverbiaI church mouse at that time.
He had talked himself into several for
tunes and had lost them all His trial
in the courts for the violation of the
federal statute that prohibited Unit
ed States senator practicing before a
federal department cost him a lot of
money.
But since last fall Burton has been
getting rich again. 1t is said that he is
now accommodating his fourth fortune.
Burton had a number of comparatively
rich Kansas friends who knew of his
financial condition. Some of these
friends took him on some Texas land
deals, and according to the best infor-
nation Burton stands to profit close to
100000 within the next year or two
through these land speculations.
One Deal Nets Him $4,000.
During the early summer Burton
closed up a land deal that netted him
$4,000 clear profit. With half doz-
en- wealthy Kansans he has purchased
the az" ranch near San Antonio, Tex.
This ranch contains 100000 acres of as
rich soil as can be found in Texas. 1t
was owned by Col. Ike Pryor, who
still retains an interest in the company
that has purchased the property. The
Southern Pacific railroad runs through
the land and a townsite has been laid
out along the line.
The property cost 100000. There
are 5000 acres of producing pecan
trees on the property, which is now
being cut into small farms. Immigra-
ton is setting in rapidly toward Texas
and these farms are being sold. The
men who bought the ranch expect to
double their money in one year and
have more than half the ranch left.
According to close friends Burton
will receive 100000 and possibly
more from his share of the deal.
Government Investigating Reports.
The government has been hearing
about these deals and that Burton is
becoming wealthy. Officials of the de-
partment of justice have been in To-
peka and Abilene recently investigat-
ing these reports and an effort is to be
made shortly to secure an order from
the United States courts at st. Louis
to collect the $4,000 fine which was
assessed against Burton and never
paid.
1t is the intention of the government
officials to ask the court to c-"rect the
error in the final commitment papers
a.. ~
and make it possible to collect the
fine and the costs.
There are many persons who were
in favor of leniency in the matter of
the fine so long as Burton had no
money, but now that he is prosperous
they would like to see him pay up if
by doing so he is not once more driven
to the financial wall.

TAFT STANDS PAT.

President Taft has begun his defense
Of the new tariff law. He caused it to
be announced several days ago that he
would stand pat and he is keeping
his promise. From the administration
point of view this is the only policy
that is tenable. The bill will go down
In history as the work of his admins
tration and it is an inhuman parent
that scorns his child.
But it is doubtful if President Taft's
Senunciation of the insurgents" will
add to his popularity. He can hardly
Justify such a denunciation on the
plea that party government is neces-
sary, for all will agree that, while
parties must exist to perpetuate our
republican form of government, there
is no necessity for the members to
submit meekly to the dictation of even
a majority of the leaders when the
few seek to compel the rest to wear a
yoke that is fast becoming irksome.
The so-called insurgents" stand for
an idea and their rebellion embodies
a countrywide movement. This move
ment was started during the Roosevelt
administration; in fact, ex-Presdent
Roosevelt himself is the incarnation
of the insurgent idea. 1t represents
the will of the PEOPLE as opposed to
the INTERESTS. AND WHEN THE
INSURGENTS REBELLED AGAINST
THE PROPOSED TARIFF BILL,
THEY REBELLED AGAINST A
CONDITION IN WHICH THE IN
TEREsTs SOUGHT TO ENTRENCH
THEMSELVES AT THE EXPENSE
Il.
The members of the Republican
party in congress, aside from the
handful of insurgents, STOOD FOR
THIS DOMINATION. SUBMITTED
MEEkLY TO THIS DICTATION OF
THE MONIED POWERS AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE PEOPLE. And
when President Taft seeks to justify
the republican party as whole and
when he criticizes the so-called in
surgents, saying that they have ruled
themselves out of the party, HE JUS
TITLES A CONDITION WHICH
FATTENS THE WALLET OF THE
RICH MAN AND IMPOVERISHES
THE POOR MAN.
1t is not necessary to go over the
tariff schedules again in detail to
prove this position. The struggles
waged by the plucky insurgents
against powerful odds in their effort
to dislodge the Titanic grasp of the
corporate representatives led by Sem
ator Aldrich, is too recent history to
be forgotten so soon. And while the
Insurgents battled, President Taft
played golf. Then he awoke one fine
day and demanded that the confer
ences lower four schedules in the bill.
But it was almost too late, the mis-
chief had been accomplished. Tenta-
tive victory lay with the regulars"
ii is true, but the insurgents died game
and the struggle that they waged to
lower the cost of living for the poor
OF this country added a luster to their
name that will not be forgotten.
1t is well that President Taft is be-
ginning this early on his trip to eX-
plain the tariff bill. But it will not
make any difference how long he re-
mains in the office. HE WILL NOT
HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO CON-
VINCE THE COMMON PEOPLE OF
AMERICA THAT THE INSURGENTS
WE'RE WRONG AND THAT HE WAS
RIGHT.

BALLINGER SUSTAINED

The official acts, attitudes and in
clinations of Secretary Ballinger, of
the department of the interior, have
been formally approved by President
Taft The president has made it plain
that Mr. Ballinger, in the presidents
opinion, has done no wrong, and, that
Mr.. Ballinger, may be properly aveng-
ed, the president has ordered that Mr..
CLAWS be dismissed from the govern
ment service. For Mr.. Ballinger and
his friends, all this is cause for con-
graduation as far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough.
The pertinent question at this mo-
ment is: What becomes of Clifford
Pinchot? President Taft may dismiss
with the greatest official ease Mr.. Gla-
Wis, who, despite his undoubted abili-
ties, is nothing more than minor
government employee of the class
whose numbers run into hundreds. He
Is an easy victim to sacrifice and his
dismissal requires no political courage
But with Mr.. Pinchot the reverse ap-
plies in every particular. The people
of the United States have long known
of the admiration. professional and
personal. which President Roosevelt
expressed for Mr.. Pinchot when he
was in office.
The Pinchot policies were the Roo
sevelt policies in all matters of conser-
walton. and so il has come that in the
eyes of the public Mr. Pinchot stands
for that course of action which would
have been followed by Mr.. Roosevelt
had he continued in office. Today Mr.
Pinchot stands as the representative
of Mr.. Roosevelt, the man who made
President Taft, and TO whose policies
MIR. Taft gave voluntary and unsolicit-
ed allegiance in the dark hours of his
campaign.
Ii would seem that the stand Presi-
dent Taft has taken leaves no alter
native for Mr.. Pinchot except to ten
der his resignatio as chief forester
and until he does SO Mr.. Ballinger's
victory is not complete. As long as Mr.
PinchOt remains i'm Office there will be
well defined suspicion that Mr. Bal
linger has only saved his face" On
the other hand. Mr.. Pinchot's retire
ment will be proof positive that the
Roosevelt policies no longer obtain In
the White House as far as conseryn-
ton is concerned.
