WOULD ARB|TRATE
COOK-PEARY CLAIMS
Coast and GeodetiC Survey Of
ters to Decide Dispute.

Washington, Sept. The coast
and geodetic survey will undertake to
arbitrate the Peary-Cook North pole
controversy, providing DR.. Cook re.
quests that it should do so.
In view of the fact that Peary has
been operating under the direction of
the survey it will become the duty of
that institution to compute his notes
without request from any one and Act
ing Superintendent Perkins said that
if Cook should so desire the survey
would go over Cooks papers also.
1T is delicate NATTER" said Mr..
Perkins, ito decide the claims in such
an important case, but our men are
scientists and would be impartial, not
to say cold blooded, in such an inves-
tigation as it would be necessary to
make in arriving at the comparative
merits of the claims of the two men.
Moreover, I believe that any conclu-
sion arrived at by the survey would
be accepted as controlling"

VISIT YOUR SCHOOLS.

The schools of Bemidji will open
next Monday for another school
year; and it might not be out of
place to urge parents and others to
take a more active interest in matters
connected with the education of
their children.
You hear a great deal about your
schools, talk much about them,
think some about them, and perad-
venture wonder not a little more
about them than if they were in
China.
How many heads of families,
business men, men of minds, ever
cross the Threshold of the school
room? How many ever offer word
of encouragement to teacher or
scholar, and let them know, by your
presence, at least occasionally, in
the school room, that you are an
interested party, really DESTROYS that
they should prosper, and that you
have their best welfare at heart?
How many have personally recog-
nized the head of the school, he who
has the training of the mind and
the building of and establishing the
character of your boy or girl?
How many have kindly counseled
and advised with him, showing that
you are with him in the great work,
wishing him we'll, and cheering with
God speed"?
How few can answer in the affirm.
alive; and yet you often hear of the
school and feel that it is not what it
should be, and what you wish it
was.
Will it help it to be constantly
finding fault, continually growing
and denouncing it with almost every
breath? and when some trivial or
even grave mistake is made, will it
better matters to pompously parade
the same before the public?
Things are not often just what we
would like to have them, and surround
ing circumstances not always as we
mayimagine or hear they are, and very
often, if we knew the exact condi-
ton and state of affairs, our minds
and opinions would be the reverse to
what they were without a knowledge
of the facts.
Now, this is merely offered as a
hint, and while we presume many
will read it, it is hoped some will
think about it, and at least few
be induced to act upon it and visit
our schools at least occasionally dur
ing the coming school year.

IS MAKING
SLOW PROGRESS
Explorer Still Out Of Touch
With the World.
DIR. COOK GIVEN DEGREE

Remains at Copenhagen the Center Of
Marked Attention, but With Dimin-
ishing Prestige Owing to the Cloud
Everlasting His Glory Since Peary's
Dramatic chalIenge-His Two Eskl-
mos Now a Vital Factor in the
Controversy. .5.- ~
New York, Sept. Il.-Commander
Peary is still at Battle Harbor. He is
making slow progress southwark to-
ward North Sydney, N. S., from
whence he will proceed to American
ports. No further word has come
from him to any quarter concerning
the momentous controversy which has
aroused Europe and America by his
challenge of Cooks claim. ~,
DR.. Cook is still at Copenhagen, the
center of marked attention from dig
nitaries of the official and scientific
world, but with diminishing prestige,
owing to the cloud overcasting his
glory since Peary's announcement and
his dramatic challenge of Cooks ex-
plot.
What the corroborative data is on
which the two explorers base their
positions is still withheld-from Cook
because of his determination to bide
his own time in presenting his evil
dence and from Peary because he is
still beyond the range of ready COM
munication and of detailed knowledge
Of the various claims and conflicts.
Foreign Comment Against Cook.
Foreign comment, as expressed by
the London and other metropolitan
journals, while still highly wrought
with mingled enthusiasm and doubt,
Is beginning to be tinged with flip
pancy and ScOrn. The trend of this
foreign comment appears to be against
Cook, the prevailing view being that
Judgment goes against him by default
in nonpresentation of his corrobora-
tive evidence. On the other hand his
champions insist that all this will be
forthcoming in due course and at the
proper time.
Concerning Peary the foreign atti-
tude appears to be one of accepting
without question his announcement Of
reaching the pole, although there is
still a reserve of judgment on his &C.
cusation as to Cooks claim of having
reached there also.
The two Eskimos who accompanied
Cook have now become vital factor
in the controversy and in anticipation
Of the issues involved DR.. Cook has
announced that he will equip an ex-
petition to Greenland at his own ex.
pense to find those men and bring
them to civilization to record their
testimony.

The Minneapolis Tribune says of
Robert c. Dunn:
Robert c.. Dunn of Princeton is
a funnel shaped cloud on the Re-
publican political horizon. 1t is
generally accepted that Mr.. Dunn is
feeling out the situation. He is on
hand and made significant remarks
at the opening of the legislative re-
union at the State Fair grounds.
Whether Mr.. Dunn will openly get
into the race is a problem to which
Mr.. Dunn is not willing to give the
answer.
1t is known that Mr.. Dunn be-
lieves he could draw from the Demo-
cratic vote and regards this as an
asset. In his speech at the fair
grounds he went on record in favor
of the income tax, a one mill levy
for roads and bridges and for re-
apportionment. Just at present
little of nothing is being heard of
Ripley Brewer and no one seems to
know whether he is even consider
ing a candidacy"

BITTER AGAINST DR.. COOK.

London Chronicle Continues Attack on
Explorer.
London, Sept. Il The Paris edition
of a New York newspaper contains an
advertisement asking offers for DR..
Cooks manuscript for exclusive pub
LEGATION and stating that 100000 words
are ready, with ample illustrative pho
tographs. The London Chronicle says:
.'This volume, we venture to think,
should it ever appear, will be num-
bered among the curiosities of litera-
ture and will find niche in the IL
brary of impostors. We can conceive
no purpose that it will serve. except
as an example of the lengths to which
a man may be driven by vanity and
appetite Tor spurious fame"
The Chronicle renews it's general at
tack on Cook with increased bitterness
and concludes:
1--WE now charge Cook with having
fabricated all the statements of any
significance with which he has sup
ported his claim to have reached the
pole We charge him with attempt,
ing an imposture upon the world and
with the knowledge that he could long
sustain the pretense."

DEGREE CONFERRED on COOK
Explorer Honored by University OF
Copenhagen.

Copenhagen.
Copenhagen, Sept. 1 The degree
of doctor honoris causa was conferred
upon Dr. Frederick A. Cook by the
University Of Copenhagen in the pres
ence of the crown prince of Denmark
and distinguished gathering.
Professor Torp, rector Of the uni
versity, in presenting the diploma to
DR.. Cook, spoke of the admiration his
achievement had aroused in the uni
versity and declared that the news
that another famous explorer had
solved the same problem could in no
way detract from the honor due DR..
Cook.
In expressing his thanks DR.. Cook
said he accepted the honor as testi-
mony. of the genuineness of his jour-
ney. He promised to send the uni
versity his complete records and he
repeated that it was his intention to
dispatch a ship to Greenland at his
own expense to bring down the two
Eskimos who accompanied him on his
expedition.
The ceremony occurred in the great
hall of the university in the presence
of a company numbering 1000 per-
sons, including a number of scientists.
When Professor Torp handed the
parchment to DR.. Cook the explorer
arose to reply, but he was unable to
speak for five minutes on account of

NOW BARRED
RULE ADOPTED In REGARD TO
THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
Senator Owen Fails to Have Dla-
gram Inserted With Speech-To
Be Printed as Public Document.

The Congressional Record is no longer
an illustrated sheet II has never been
very profusely decorated with pictures.
but occasionally a wideawake senator or
an active representative has succeeded
in having printed some article carrying
illustrations. Even that limited privilege
has been withdrawn.
When the step was taker no one knows,
but Senator Owen of Oklahoma made the
discovery. 1t came yesterday at the close
of the speech of Senator Bristow on the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill.
Mr. Owen then sought to have inserted
in the Record an illustration of the scale
by which the sugar trust. as alleged sue
ceeds in underweighing sugar for the
purpose of evading the payment ofsduty.
Mr.. Owen stated that he had asked TO
have this illustration inserted In the
Record when he recently spoke on that
subject and was surprised to find that the
right was denied him. He wanted. he
said. to make public record of the 'prac-
tice.
Senators smoot and Gallinger then ex-
planned for the first time that the COM
mittee on printing. of which they are
members, had abolished the practice OF
publishing illustrations in the Record
After some discussion it was agreed that
there would be no objection to having
the speech Of the senator from Oklahoma
and the accompanying illustrations pub
lished as a pubic document, and this
course was decided upon.
