ENGLISH JEALOUSY.

It is an interesting fact, but not surprising, that the editors of English newspapers have stood practically alone in expressing doubts of Dr. Cooks statement that he reached the pole. It may be that Dr. Cook is a faker. but his story has been accepted by sub stantially all the scientists of the world-outside of England And the papers of all nations except England have agreed that Dr. Cook is en- titled to credence until his story is disproved English incredulity in this instance is no doubt founded on the well-grouDded English belief that little that is creditable can come out of America. As to Dr. Cook, the English papers sneeringly character ize it as decidedly American"
 A prominent American, then in England, very patty stated the situa- tion the other day as he was leaving for home. Jealousy seems to be at the bottom of much of the British comment on Dr. Cooks claim, as well as on many other things American" said he. And if Dr. Cook were an

A WASTE OF LIFE.

It is estimated that the annual economic waste in the city of New York from preventable disease is s4o,- 0O0.0O0. This estimate is based on the record of sickness and death from preventable diseases for a period of four years, loss in dollars being fig ured on the actuarial computation of the prospect of life and earnings fur nished by state and insurance statis- ticians. Contingent losses of suffering in families are not figured into this estimate. Money spent in preventive effort, providing pure air and clear light and healthful surroundings for tenement dwellers, is the best con- servation policy that the cities of the country can enter on. It is worth dol lars to save the trees, and it is worth dollars to save men, women and chill dren.

PEARY AND COOK.

And now the question is: Are we to see repetition of the Sampson Schley controversy in the rivalry be- tween Commander Peary and pr. Cook?
 That Peary and Cook are not friends is generally understood A winter in the arctic is trying on the best of tempers, and every expedition in search of the pole in former years has been fruitful of feuds among the members. It seems that Commander Peary and Dr. Cook returned from a joint expedition with bad opinions of each other. due to the biting things each had said in the long winter of their exile in the northern wastes These differences were accentuated when valuable fox skins, cached on later expedition by Dr. Cook, after ward disappeared-taken by Peary and marketed in New York, is the charge.
 Thus the situation is ripe for a pretty quarrel between Peary and Cook-provided Peary returns with a statement that he was unable to find the tube which Cook says he left at the pole with flag inside There is little likelihood that anybody will doubt Peary's statement that he reached the pole. His abundant preparation and equipment prepared the world for news of his success. Moreover. cOrroboration by white witnesses can leave practically no room for doubt on the part of fair minded people. The controversy. therefore, will hinge on the question whether Cook reached the pole.
 Cooks own statement that possibly his location of the pole-the spot where he left the flag-may be a half mile from the real pole, discioses the possibility that Peary, reaching the pole, failed to find trace of the
 'h NiSiIdtiol. beSlueS, the Ice drift may have carried the Cook ex- hibit a considerable distance from the pole. Altogether. if Peary is captious. having failed to find proof that Cook was at the pole, he may cast such doubts upon the accuracy of Cooks statement that an interminable con troversy, in which the whole civilized world will hurry to take sides, will ensue.
 But it will be well to remember the remark made by a Vienna scientist the other day. which was to the er- feet that Cooks success made it probable that we should soon hear that Peary. also, had succeeded; for. as he pointed out, Cook chose the route that Peary had decided upon. and if Cook found it feasible with his scant preparation Peary no doubt also found it feasible. And the same logic would lead us to conclude that if Peary found a practicable route and reached the pole, Cook probably reached the pole by the same route.
 And it is to be hoped that both of the intrepid explorers will remember what Schley said of Santiago: There is glory enough for all"

GREAT PREPARATION FOR
COMING OF WASHINGTON

The large attendance of the persons
invited to assist in the arrangements
for making Booker T. Washington lee
tlre a success, and the enthusiasm
shown by those who spoke made me-
morable the meeting of the Y. NJ. {.
B. last Sunday afternoon at Campbell
Church. 1t is seldom that Negroes OF
National note come so far West, and
the return of Prof Washington, after
ten years absence, is treat for Colo
rado. In view of the prominence OF
the lecturer the reception to be ac-
corded him is important. And the
outcome of the preparations is al
ready forecasted by the zeal OF the
local committee. The Sunday after
noon meeting was very gratifying, and
on Wednesday night, when the sub
committee met further consider
plans, it was found that several very
substantial orders for seats were al
ready received. The coming OF Mr..
Washington is being eagerly waited
for by the educators of the city, the
thousand teachers have taken official
cognizance of his visit.
The committee wishes to announce
that the Peoples Tabernacle at 10th
and Lawrence streets, has seats num-
bered and divided into sections, all
seats being reserved. These seats
will be on sale in the Knight-Camp-
bell Music Store, Jones barber shop
at 1922 18th street, at the white Y. M.
C. A. and will be in the hands of four
individuals, who will offer them for
sale at the churches Sunday. In addi-
ton, to prevent the terrible crowding
that would result should all who at
tend try to purchase on the evening of
the lecture, they will be sold during
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-10-23

the afternoon fthat day at the Peo-
pies Tabernacle. Reservations in
large lots are already being made by
the white people of the city, and some
are coming in from outside the city.
All in all, the interest up to this time
Is so great as TO make it plain that
this lecture will overshadow anything
of the kind ever here. Up to this time
the hour of arrival or the other ar.
rangements for Mr. Washington's stay
cannot be told, but word is expected
from him soon that will make it pos.
sible for us to give the details of his
stay.
The fact that the net proceeds of
the lecture are going for the forma-
tion of Y. NJ. c. A. here is telling
among the friends of that work. These
persons are marveling that the price
of admission has been placed so low
as soc and 75c. They are reminded
by the committee, however, that Mr.
Washington's coming is to better the
cause of the race as well as to make
money. Therefore, the greatest pos
sible number of those who need the
encouragement of his precepts and ex
ample will mean the greatest possible
good for the race in Colorado
The Statesman wishes to make the
observation that the early sale of
seats to whites makes 1t imperative
for our people that they do not delay
thier purchases. It would be but
repetition of what has happened in
other cities for him to speak to an
audience largely white through the
failure of our people to seek to pur
chase until seats are nearly exhaust.

There are some people in the COM
munity who wish to be thought as
good as any one else, who have done
nothing for the public good. There
is duty that imposes itself upon
every citizen apart from mere being
good and keeping employed. The
vast majority Of people need some
thing outside of themselves to make
their lives what they should be and
this is the duty that is imposed upon
whomsoeyer is able to help, by one of
the earliest moral lessons taught to
man. Out Of the fire and the cloud
God in his own person taught this
when he told Cain that he was his
brothers keeper and exacted from
him punishment for the violation of
this principle.
We have no patience with the goody
goody people who pose as models and
do nothing. All so-called efforts for
general betterment are not what they
should be, but some Of them ring true
and fear Of the spurious ones should
not deter one from taking hold. Bet

We labored to construct observatory which

before the epoch when we would have need of it.

WEEKLY BULLETIN OF TRADE
Every Report Ranges from Moderate
improvement to Extraordinary
Buoyancy in the Country.

New York City.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
"Overshadowing all other develop
ments of the week is the advance in
the Bank of England rate of discount
to 5 per cent. AS the advance to 6
per cent about three years ago was,
as it were, the raising of storm sig
nails, so the present advance is, as is
said by Sir Felix Schuster, a sign of
trade revival.
'In the United States every report
of the week ranges from moderate i'm
provement to extraordinary buoyancy.
The advices from the leading cities
are uniformly favorable, with especi-
ally brilliant reports from the western
centers. AS against these accumu-
lated, and still accommodating, evi-
dences of trade expansion, the two
factors that speak for conservatism
are the advancing prices and the dan
ger that speculation may make such
demands on the money market as pre-
maturely to consume the free capital
of the world required to finance new
era of prosperity"

SIX DEAD; SIX INJURED
OPEN SWITCH CAUSES A FATAL
WRECK ON RAILROAD.
Pennsylvania Passenger and a Freight
Train Collide at ColIinsviIIe, o.
Engines Demolished.

Hamilton, O.-Six persons are dead
and six injured as the result of
collision between a Pennsylvania
passenger and a freight train on an
open switch at Collinsville, 0. The
passenger train, southbound on the
Chicago and Cincinnati division of the
road, was booming through the village
at about 60 miles an hour. The freight
train had taken the siding to let it
pass.
Two blocks west of the station the
rapidly running train struck the open
switch and ran onto the siding. A ter
rife collision resulted, despite the fact
that Engineer Elmer Brown of the
express train threw on the air brakes
at once. His act doubtless saved the
passengers, none of whom was killed.
The collision wrecked both engines,
destroyed many coal cars, and piled
up the mail, express and baggage cars.
The mail clerks who lost their lives
were buried under the wreckage of
their car. The smoker and coach were
prevented from turning over by the
fact that they leaned against Shollen-
barger's grain elevator, adjoining the
siding. All the passengers injured
were in the smoker, and none is seri-
ously hurt
A northbound freight had taken the
siding to allow a passenger train to
pass an hour before the wreck. 1t is
said that when this freight left the
siding some one failed to close the
switch. 1t developed that Station
Agent Wright had been accustomed
to close the switch, but Edward John
son of Seven Mile, o., had taken his
place temporarily and knew little of
his duties.
Villagers and passengers came to
the aid of the injured and put out
fire that started in the wreckage. They
also got the injured and the dead from
under the wreckage before the wreck
ing crew from Richmond. Ind. arrived.

DEATH CONQUERS M'GARREN
Brooklyn Democratic Leader Rose
from Cooper's Apprentice to Be
Power in State Politics.

New York City.-Patrick H. Nc
Carren, state senator and Demo-
cratic leader of Brooklyn, died at st.
GATHERINGS hospital, Brooklyn, never
having completely rallied from the eff
fects of an operation for appendicitis
which was performed on October Is.
Senator McCarren remained fully con-
scious all day and seemed to realize
that he was soon to die. In fact, he
has held the belief for months that he
had not long to live, and said so to
the physicians in consultation over
him.
Gentlemen he said, II know what
you have come here for. There is no
need for consultation. l knew was
dying the day | walked into this hos
pital. l have made a study of my own
case, and I find that my trouble is an
old heart and an old stomach"
Patrick Henry McCarren by trade
cooper, by profession a lawyer and by
vocation politician, was one of the
most picturesque figures in the politi-
cal history of Greater New York. No
leader was ever more roundly con-
demned, yet at the close of the 81
years of his life he probably was the
most strongly entrenched leader in
New York state, and had even welded
some influence in national politics.
Born in East Cambridge, Mass, he
settled in Brooklyn when he was 8
years old and was graduated from the
public schools. He was apprenticed
to cooper when 16, but, having mas
tered his trade, heard the call to some
thing more Intellectual. He took up
the law, and from the law went into
politics.
