DR.. Cook in Disgrace.

The board Of governors Of the Explorers'
club met in New York city Friday in
executive session, and, standing in 81
lence, voted with bowed heads that DR..
Frederick A. Cook be dropped from the
rolls OF the club for frauds practiced on
its members and on the public.
Coming upon the heels Of the crushing
verdict lately rendered by the University
Of Copehagen, the action the Explorers'
club il the result Of independent investi-
tions which in no way touch upon the
polar controversy, and the weight Of its
disapproval thus becomes cumulative.
Preliminary to its vote OF expulsion the
board met to pass upon the report Of its
committee which has been investigating
the validity Of DR.. Cooks assertion that
he reached the summit Of Mt. Mckinley.
This committee, In concluding an exhaus-
tive report, recommended that "Dr.
Cooks claim that he ascended the summit
OF Mt. Mckinley in 1908 be rejected BY the
ExpIorers' club ~ unworthy Of credence".

The only thing charged against the
republican party, and wrong charge
at that, is the high prices. But it is
found that even higher prices prevail
in England and France and Germany,
with tie difference that over there
the people simply have to 60 without,
while here nearly everyone has the
means to live comfortably and well.
Prices in themselves are not the re-
suit of republicanism, but having the
price is, and that is why the people
sustain the republican party and will
continue to do 30.
