minds. and especially so since Com
mander Peary does not wait to reach
the United States before branding
Dr. Cook as a fa,iir, asserting that
ne is trying to hand the people q gold
Drlck. Considering the fact that it
VIII be a difficult matter for Peary
to produce his proof, which he 81
glibly asserts he has, it strikes us
that under the circumstances both
he and Cook were after the pole and
that Cook claims to be ahead of him
a year, there will be not a few people
who will set down his hasty accuse
tons to chagrin and jealousy. If he
really has proofs he would have acted
with more judgment if he had waited
until he reached the shores of this
country and then submitted his proofs
that d~isinterested parties might de-
clare DR.. Cook a fraud, if such he be.
AS for us, we see no reason at pres
ent why we should not believe Dr..
Cook equally with Commander Peary.

DISCOVERY OF NORTH POLE.

A few days after the announce
ment by DR.. Cook of his discovery of
the north. pole, Commander Robert E..
Peary sem a sensational dispatch out
Of the frozen regions Of the north:
II have nailed the Stars and Stripes
to the north pole" Later informa-
tiOn was given that he had reached
the poleain April, 1909, a year after
DIR. Cook claims to have found the
pole. DR.. Cooks statement was re-
ceiyed with belief by some and dis
belief by others. Peary's statement
seems to be generally accepted as a
fact. The difference between the two
men, which may possibly account for
the larger credence being accorded
the naval officer, is that one is well
known, while the other was practical
ly obscure. The friends of DR.. Cook
declare him to be a trustworthy gen.
tleman, for which reason the general
public should give him every oppor-
tnnity to lay his records before COM
petent authorities before permitting
any doubt of his claim to enter their
