Clyde Fitch.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
In the death of Clyde Fitch a merica
loses one of her most prolific and en-
tertaining playwriters. Even his
most ardent admirers cannot claim
for the works of Fitch lasting fame.
Few if any of the fifty or more plays
he produced will live longer than his
generation.
True to his mission, to entertain,
to please, Fitch filled niche in Amer;-
can literary life which cannot be cas-
lily supplied. Endowed with a wonder
fnl knowledge of human nature, he
succeeded where many failed in con-
forming his writings to the tune of
popular taste. His record is unique.
More than once he has had five or six
of his plays running simultaneously.
Fitch never probed; few profound
truths were given expression in his
writings; he was never deep; he chose
rather to tickle the fances of his aud
ience with pleasure excursions over
the surface. never calling upon them
for mental effort. He never sermon
lied. He amused. His characters
were not mysterious persOnages.
They were real human-the kind that
all of us meet in everyday life His
plays throbbed with human interest;
his characters cOnversed in entertain
ing fashion, and throughout there
WAS a happy strain of subtle wit
which rendered the whole engaging.
The person desiring to pass an even
ing pleasantly found in the Fitch"
play the goal of his desires. Perhaps
beau Brummel" was the best of his
series, and large credit for the decided
popularity of this play was due to
Mansfield, for whom the play was
written. Perhaps the most sordid OF
the lot was the ''Blue Mouse" as
| staged, and even this, while undoubt-
edly risgue, was hailed with approval
the country over by the theatre go.
ing public Ii Fitch's standards were
low they were not more so than the
tastes of the public, for, above al
modern play-wrights, his productions
were always popular. His mission
was not to elevate, so much as to en-
tertain, and if it ends with his death
! it was we'll fulfilled.

DR.. Cook Misquoted.
Atlanta Journal.


An interview appeared in the Jour
nal Of last Thursday with Weather
Observer Won Herman, in which he
discussed the public reports that DR..
Cook claimed to have encountered q
temperature of eighty-three degrees
below zero, centigrade, on his way to
the North Pole
1t was pointed out in the interview
in question that eighty-three degrees,
centigrade, would be equivalent to
one hundred and seventeen degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit standard
thermometer with which the general
public in this country is familiar, and
it was also pointed out thar this was
far colder temperature than any hu-
man being had ever been able to en-
dure before Indeed. it was degree
OF cold never before heard of as a
meteorological condition, and was
well calculated to throw doubt and
discredit upon the claims of DR.. Cook.
In justice to the Brooklyn physi-
clan + appears to have been mis-
repl led on this question by press
dispa-~.Ies sent from the other side,
it should be stated that when he ap-
peared to receive honorary degree
from one OF the leading institutions
of Copenhagen he made a speech in
which he distinctly stated that the
temperature he encountered was
eighty-three degrees below zero,
Fnrenheit, which is the standard to
which we are accustomed.
1t was a degree of cold, severe
enough, of course, but by no means
remarkable in that latitude, and but
little, if any. greater than many
Northern explorers have encountered.
In spite of DR.. Cooks frequent cor
rections this misrepresentation has
gone around the world and frequent
lv bobs up as an argument on the
part OF those who are disposed to
question his discovery of the pole.
1t is a matter Of simple justice that
this misimpression, at least, should
be corrected.

Depending on Egingwah.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
When Dr. Cook stated in Copen-
hagen that the only persons who ac-
companied him to the North Pole
were two Eskimos. those who doubted
the truth of his report declared that
no dependence could beplaced on the
Eskimos, and that DR.. Cook was II
faker They declared, when Peary
reported he had reached the North
Pole, that it would be found that
Peary was accompanied by scientists
and other experts whose testimony
whould settle the matter. After it
was learned that 10 white man was
with Peary, it was reported that he
was accompanied by a negro and an
Eskimo. 1t now turns out that
nobody was with him there except an
Eskimo by the name of Egingwah.
So Peary's whole claim, outside his
own statement rests with one Eski-
mo. Cooks claim will be established
by the mouth of two witnesses, both
EskimOs.

They Laud Hartman After He is
Dead.
Salisbury Post.

Salisbury Post.
A significant fact connected with
the death of f. III. Hartman is the
practical unanimity with which the
press lauds his achievements and the
absence OF any harsh criticism of the
man or his methods. The fact is sig
nificant because it has not been so
very long since that the muckrakers
were busy with Harriman's name
and reputation and he was held up as
a type of all that is debasing in the
mad scramble for wealth and power.
1t is very tue that all the methods
employed by Hartman did not COM
mend themselves to right-thinking
men. The charge of ingratitude pre-
ferred by one of his earliest helpers
and staunchest friends whom he
brushed aside wasnever quite cleared
up, but with all this it was never
proved that Hartman was any worse
than his critics, if the fact that all his
operations were coldblooded be put
aside. Controlled almost if not al
together by self-interest, he accom-
plished wonderful things for the whole
nation and now that he is dead the
nation paws him lust tribute.

Why He Lost His Friends.

The Orphans Friend
He was always wounding their feel
ings, making remarks at their ex-
pense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner, cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the door of his
heart wide open to people, or took
them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive
assistance from them, but always
too busy or too stingy to assist them
in their time of need.
He regarded friendship as luxury
to be enjoyed, instead of an oppor-
tunity for service.
He never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very foundation
stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth while to
spend time in keeping up his friend
ships.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiments alone:
that there must be service to nour-
ish it.
He did not know the value of
thoughtfulness in little things.

Things Joe King Thinks.
Durham Herald.

Durham Herald.
The pity of it is that they did not
hunt for the pole in pairs.
1t may not be pellagra hut that
name will suit it just as good ssany.
Some of them now seem to be glad
that Peary was not born in North
Carolina.
Pearv cannot believe Cook and yet
he expects US to believe him without
| any more evidence.
We would have taken more stock
in the claims of Peary if he had not
shown his sore spot.
Ii we have to take the unsupported
word of either of them we, will take
our chances on Cook.
When the doctor does not know
what it is the easiest way out OF it is
to pronounce it pellagra.
1t is perhaps fortunate for Peary
that he is not where he can see what
the papers are saying about it.
But il we had no trusts and no cor
porations some of the politicians
would find their occupation gone.
If his other charges fall Peary can
| set up the claim that if Cook found
the pole he had no right to do it.
The more offices the Democrats
take from the Redublicans the harder
they fight among themselves for the
| few that are left.
AS soon as we broach cheaper
| freight rates the railroads go to
talking about something that we
know nothing about.
Durham is in good way to get
good road connections with Granville
and Wake counties even if she never
gets an automobile highway.
Admitting that Peary reached the
pole, he shows up to be a smaller
man than even his enemies would
have credited him with being.
Hartman seems to have been a
pretty decent sort Of a fellow for a
millionaire, but many of Us never
found it out until after his death.
But wouldn't we have a nice set of
Federal officials if those who are rec
commended by the party leaders
were always successful in landing?
This thing of paying higher freight
rates than other States would not be
so bad if the railroads would give
something like reasonable excuse
for it.
There are whole lot ofpeople who
are not Democrats who do not want
to See the State turned over to the
Republican party as it is at present
constituted.
| Notwithstanding that it is hardly
considered respectable to be rich,
when n town or community wishes to
put its best foot forward the rich are
usually willing to do their part.
What North Carolina towns want
to. know is why they have to pay
more for hauling freight the same
distance han towns in other States
have to pay, and the question is
simple
| We have never favored the idea OF
holding special terms of court to try
any certain criminal for the reason
| that if he had money to fight the case
it would be Of no use and if he did
not have the money the courts would
get through with him in due time.

The National for September.

The glow of the Golden West per-
meates the September issue of the Ma
tional. The editor, Joe Chapple, takes
his gold-tipped pen in hand and starts off
through the yellow fields OF the country,
and describes graphically the wonderful
development he finds everywhere in evi-
dence.
The cover page shows striking view
OF the Seattle Exposition, with Mount
Rainier in the distance; in the background
is the glow of the sun, radiating beams
that suggest the optimistic and irrespres-
sible spirit of the West Not only the
rich harvests of the land are indicated,
but the bravest of ideas exhibited in the
Alaska Iukon-P Pacific Exposition, and
gathered by the editor all along his West
ward route. The readers of the National
appear to feel that If they cannot go to
all the expositions and travel over the
country in person, the best thing is to
have their editor 60 and tell them what
he Sees
The conclusion of the article on .'Glori-
Gus Old Georgia" is in this issue, and con-
tains Garnault Agassiz's remark able
story OF the hydro-electric power devel-
opment of the South, being the most
complete and attractive description of
the electric power situation that has ap-
peared for some time.
The harvest spirit animates all the
stories and the whole magazine breathes
peace and plenty.
Affairs at Washington readable

il new land could have been discOv-
cred in latitude 81, longitude SO. In
reply he shrugged his shoulders and
said it was quitepossible that an un-
known continent existed further

covered by himself on previous trips

datiOns were OF the finest and best
She had been thoroughly efficient Of
fetal; she needed the place. Congress-
man Grant had her ousted last week
and had one of his political henchmen
appointed, to fulfill Il campaign
pledge. Few Republicans in or out
of the Tenth district will approve of
this particular case, and it appears
to have aroused so much Indignation
even among Republicans that Grants
chances for reelection must inevita-
bly, be weakened. The leaders of his
party in the Tenth had no idea he
would be elected last fall, or they
would never have suffered him to be
nominated Meanwhile the widow,
victim of politics, must cast about

A force OF more than fifty hands is
