Explorer BQldWif1 Is
 Not q Doubling Thomas
BY EVELYN BRI GGs BALDWIN, Who Has Participated In Voyages to the Arctic.

New York, September 4-(Special.) )-Dr. Cooks own words afford sufficient expla- nation of his success in planting the Stars and Stripes at the north pole.
 "It was merely an Arctic excursion, ' said he, 'but as I found conditions flaw orable I continued on my way to the pole.'
 Of the first importance in an analysis of Just what these conditions were one must give attention to the expert ser vices of the faithful Esquimaux who ac- companied him to the pinnacle of fame. Had you been one of his companions on April 21, 1908, and the other, we would be entitled to our just share of praise for the work accomplished. It required the consummate skill of the Esquimaux to handle the dogs and to repair broken sledges and to negotiate the ice fields over which the party was able to travel unhindered by terrific gales and conse- quent disruptions of the Ice pack. Sledge Journeys of greater length and at great CT hazard have been accomplished by Peary and others and 1t should, therefor cause no particular surprise that Dr. Cook, aided by most favorable conditions, should have arrived at the long-coveted goal.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION IN OHIO
FINANCE CHARTS
 ARE VALUABLE

Washington. September 4-(Special.)- One of the most valuable documents on finance issued by the government has been compiled by the National Monetary commission for use in framing the cur rency legislation which is promised during the present Congress. The document com prises a series of charts, deliberately pre- rared, showing with mathematical pre- cision almost every phase of the financial situation, not only in the United States, but in foreign countries. By means of lines these charts tell accurately the value of government bonds In all countries from the time of their issuance until the prt sent year.
 They give the exact account of cur rency in circulation in all countries and recite the financial history of almost every important country, so that 1t can be reviewed at a glance Only 30 copies of the document have as yet been print ed. One of these copies has been present. cd to MT. Norton assistant secretary of the treasury, who regards the work as one Of the most important contributions to currency literature which he has seen. A large part of the credit for 1t Is given to MT. Andrews, director of the mint, under whose guidance 1t has been pre- rared It Is the first tangible work done by tkt monetary commission and illus trates the care and scientific methods which that body Is pursuing in its study of the currency question.

acquired while physician to one of the Peary expeditions; the discovery of isl- ands and abundance of game to the west ward of Grinnell Land by Captain Sver- drop in 19O0-02; the discovery of new land to the northward of these islands by Peary on his last expedition. and the ''farthest north" ST degrees, IT minutes, gave to Dr. Cook trail which was not difficult to follow--indeed his line of march parallels and crosses that of Peary on his last sledge trip in most interesting manner, both explorers rely ing upon the technique" of the natives and their dogs in the real work in the same field.
 Cook appears also to have been fav- ored by unusually low temperatures dur ing midwinter which rendered the Ice foes over which he travelled the ensuring spring more solid and in addition to this a comparatively smooth surface seems to have prevailed during the quick trip to and from the pole. In addition to the two islands which he discovered on his way northward the Ice foes may have rested upon shoals and given the party a stationary as well as a level surface upon which to travel. The scientific de- tails of the expedition will be awaited with interest.

All HONOR 10 AMERICA
President Puts Decided Seal of Ap- provaI Upon Discovery as An nounced By pr. Cook in
 Hearty Manner.
BY WILLIAM ROSTER.

Beverly. Mass, September 4.-(Special)-
 As head of the nation, President Taft
 put the seal of approval on the achieve
 ment of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, discoverer
 of the north pole. In a 50-word dis
 patch the President heartily icongratu-
 lated Dr. Cook, thereby attesting before
 all the world his faith In the report which
 the explorer brings back from the frozen
 north
 The Presidents dispatch to Cook was
 sent in reply to one received this after
 noon from the Arctic hero, officially and
 formally reporting to the President his
 success.
 Dr. Cooks message which was for
 warded from Washington, was as fol-
 lows:
 "Copenhagen, September 4. 1909.
 "The President, the White House, Wash
 ington.
 q have the honor to report to the chief
 magistrate of the United States that I have returned, having reached the north pole FREDERICK A. COOK To this the President replied: Beverly, Mass, September 4, 1909. Frederick A. Cook, Copenhagen, Den mark Your dispatch received. Your report that you have reached the north pole calls for my heartiest congratulations and stirs the pride of all Americans that this feat, that has so long baffled the civilized world, has been accomplished | by the intelligent energy and wonderful endurance of fellow countryman. "w. H. TAFT" Dr. Cooks dispatch was received short ly before o'clock and was immediately carried out to the President, who en- Enthusiastically read 1t aloud to the family circle. There is reason to believe that other messages of a private character were received at about the same time. probably from Minister Egan at Copen- hagen, clinching the claim of Dr. Cook to have reached the pole It was evident here that the President had been waiting definite and confirmatory details of Dr. Cooks achievement because of the wide spread effect that a congratulatory dis patch from MT. Taft would have. The fact that the President las sent his congratulations is regarded here as meaning that Dr. Cook has convinced Minister Egan beyond doubt of his right to the worldwide honor that he claims.
 It is impossible just now for the Pres ident to say what share he will take in the reception that Is to be accorded pr. Cook upon his return to America. Within 10 days the President will depart on his tour of the west and south. He will ,a t~oo olr ir1t aaf until NnVamba There was a suggestion here today, how ever, that some sort of national well come might be rendered Dr. Cook in Washington, during the coming winter, in which the President would gladly par ticipate.
