The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-09-25

To face 40 newspaper men chOck full
ef questions is something of an ordeal.
DR.. Cook went through the ordeal and
came out, il appears, with flying colors.
Newspaper men are not scientists,
though no doubt among the 40 were
some versed in Arctic exploration and
informed in astronomy. 1t is quite
likely that some of them qualified by
calling on scientific acquaintance be-
fore they interviewed DIR. Cook A few
of the questions asked would indicate
this. Not ali of the newspaper men
were Cook partisans. The New York
newspapers are divided on the con-
troversy. Doubtlessly numerous ques-
tons We're asked with a view to catch
ing DR.. Cook. 1t apepars that the
answers he gave were consistent They
were straightforward and prompt He
had his case well in hand
An interview of q similar nature was
gwen by DR. Cook to newspaper men
IN Copenhagen, among whom were no.
ted correspondents, representing pa
pers of other countries. 1t will be
remembered that the Copenhagen in
terview favOrably impressed the rep
resentatives of the press.
Newspaper men are generally from
Missouri" They meet all sorts of per-
sons and hear all sorts of claims. They
desire the facts and a good many OF
them are clever in detecting misrepre-
sentation. They have way of asking
questions that expose falsehOod Their
abilities in this line are similar to the
abilities of lawyers.
DR.. Cook did not refuse to answer
except when the answer might have
been construed as an attack on ePary
If DR.. Cook is an impostOr. he is one
Of the cleverest that ever lived.
Time has served to strengthen the
public faith in Cook. But it has mo-
destroyed faith in Peary. The publ,
believes that both Cook and Peary
reached the pole and the probability i:
that the records TO be furnished by

DOOM OF RACE.

A hundred years of civilization has
had very little effect on the American
Indian who is still more attracted to
the spectacular side of life than to
the practical The annual hunt is in
response to the call of the wild and
the occasional war dance and parade
causes more enthusiasm than the field
of industry with it's lure of wealth and
competence. The vices of the white
man have been more alluring than his
virtues to the red skin brother and
his education has been apt along lines
that lead to degeneration The result
is decrepitude and decay. The physi-
cal proWess of the Indian was the re-
suit of the mental alertness that was
forced upon him in the struggle for eX-
istence. the warfare of the survival of
the fitteSt. When the Indians became
wards of the nation and were made de-
pendent. lethergy and inactivity soon
Slapped the physical as well as the
mental vigor and the ultimate doom
of the race was written.

SORA WAS BEING USED AS PA.
troll BOAT AGAINST PIRATES
IN SOUTHERN GROUP

MANILA, Sept. 25.-Official dis
patches received from southern ports
state that it is rumored there that the
revenue cutter Sora has been cap
tured by Moro pirates and the crew
murdered. No details of the capture
are known and tn authorities have
been unable to secure confirmation of
the rumor, although dispatches have
been sent to all adjacent points.
The SOra was used as a patrol boat
against the Moro pirates of the south
ern archipelago in the general cam
paign against smuggling inaugurated
by the insulaf government a short
time ago: 1t was commanded by Cap
tain z. A. McGerty and carried a crew
of fourteen, all Filipinos.
The cutter left the town OF Balabac

miles south of Palanan, carrying j. L.

Here's something else for people to
think about.
We are coming to understand that
not only should our bridges be beauti.
full, but our public buildings must be
beautiful, our river banks must be
beautiful, the homes of the poor as
well as those of the rich must be beau
tiful and being beautiful. will be such
as the poor as we'll as the rich can
live in safely, profitably. wisely says
President Flavel s. Luther Jr., of
Trinity college.
AS we clean and beautify and make
splendid the cities and the towns in
which we live. as we tie them together
into more and more efficient corporate
units struggling for the common well
fare of us all. we shall find that the
unlovely things in human nature, in
our own nature. the dishonesties, the
foulness, the dishOnors that have held
back 50 long and so terribly the prog
ress of mankind. will be more and more
impossible.

spiritually beautiful also

Hitchcock's activity in the post
office department is being directed to-
ward a reorganization looking to the
cutting of much red tape and the get
ting down to "a business basis. Eco
nomic administration has been display
ed in more ways than one in the pres

all departments to pool their buying
of supplies to take advantage of the

tity Postmaster Hitchcock has an
nounced his determination of cutting
down the deficit in his department.
without effecting the efficiency of the
service nor of curtailing it in any par
ticular and there is reason to believe
that he will do it. Public administra-

ord worthy of achieving.

CANALS AND POLAR CAPS
ON MARS DISAPPEARING

observation was made of Mars tonight
by the astronomers at Mount Wilson
or Mount Lowe. Prof Hale and his
assistants at Mount Wilson were bus
lily engaged with other work and clouds
and rain prevented Prof, Larkin from
making observations at Mount Lowe.
Prof Larkin said, however, that he
had engaged in making observations
of Mars for q week or more with graf
flying results. The mountains of Mars
now appear to be very prominent and
the lines or canals as they are called,
are gradually disappearing. The snow
at the polar extremity has vanished.
Prof. Larkin said the present view of
Mars was the best he had ever had.

Night Turned to Day.

The Hudson Frilon commission has
planned to turn night into dav iu,ing
the first eighr tlivs Of tn. cclcbra-
ton. Even consel vative estimates put
the number OF lights to Be use, in
for lighting the streets at between
100000 and 100000 incandescents,
1000 arc lights, 5000 flare ares, one
battery of four searchlights of 100000
candlepoWer each, and another bat
terry of II searchlights. with an aggre-
gate of 100000 candle power. making
a final total of approximately 26,260,-
900 candlepower
Some volume may be gained of the
streets while the celebration is in
progress when it is understood that
these estimates do not include the
hundreds of thousands of separate
lights which the variou selectric
| lighting, display advertising and other
firms have contracted for. All this
is. of course, for this city alone. not
taking into account the lights along
the New Jersey shore and other plac-
es adjacent to the city but just out
side the corporation limits.
The preparations for the policing of
the crowds during the parades Of the
/; Hudson Fulton celebration are very
elaborate
There are police signal stations with
direct connection with police head
quarters. There are stations in all,
covering the distance from Staten Is
land to Spuyten Duyvil creek. and
there are Is field hospitals with am
balances on the piers and near the
water as possible in case of accident
afoat as well as ashore
The harbor squad will look after
things afloat and will have jurisdic
ton over all craft except government
vessels and foreign men Of war. There !
are IA police boats with the Patrol
as the flagship. 1t will be easy to
locate the police boats, for they will
fly the flag of the Red Cross society. !
In addition each police boat will car
ry an officer of the revenue cutter
service so that there will be no dis |
pute of police authority. At reserve
stations ashore there are 500 police
men and automobiles for their trans /
portation should hurry call be sent
out
For the land parades of the follow |
ing days the plans are equally COM
prehensive There will be no post in |
the greater city without it's regular
police protection during any hour of
will be a full platoon on duty in each !
station house. This will be accom- |
plished by assigning to patrol duty

who are on a hunger strike.
The women resisted the eff
