Cook OF Peary

To the Bditor Of the Evening Star:
The rather tardy admission Of Dr..
Cook that fe IS beginning to doubt
that he reached the North Pole is,
perhaps, sufficient ground for touch
ing on a discussion that has for a long
time been barred.
Eliminating for the moment the
question az to whether DR.. Cook really
accomplished all that he originally
clsirned, and passing over the present
alleged confession Of his failure, one
IS justified in asking IL Commander
Peary did any better. The opinion
prevails in many minds that Peary did
not reach the pole, and that if his data
had been submitted to the same jury
as was that Of Dr.. Cook it might have
been shown that complete proof Of his
discovery was lacking.
In any event, Peary's cast was con-
sidered by a body that was decidedly
friendly, and, it is said, prejudged in
his favor before the investigation be-
gar. This MAJ or may not be the
fact, but It permits OF no denial that
he was IN trial before friends and fell
low-oficers in the service. and the pub
lie mind was IN a receptive mood for
complete v~indication Of Peary's claims.
Perhaps in the light Of moro mature
thought and cooler Judgment the proofs
Of Commander Peary would not sur
vive rigid examination, and a closer
scrutiny Of the facts might reveal that
tho pole Is still unconquered and the
top OF the earth" still an unknown
factor IN tho annals OF exploration.

Tragedy seems to stalk the amateur
hunter, but the result Of this grim
chase is seldom as pitiful as in the
most recent case recorded. "A Philadel-
pnian killed his brother while attempt

wounded bull moose. One OF the shots
intended for the infuriated animal
struck and killed the young man.
There would seem to be an impression
in this country that big game hunting

mastered with a little practise. Each

such an Impression false. In the hands

A large number OF distinguished

Mark Twain in life paid tribute to the
memory OF the great philosopher and
hurnorist last night IN Carnegie Hall.
It is said that the spirit OF the func-
tion was Just what Mark Twain would
have had St could he have been pres

evening. Storle, old and new about
the humorist were told. And yet, while
tears were banished from the voices Of
the speakers and tho eyes Of their
hearers, they must have been near the

After all. IL we but knew it, every
thing has its legitimate use. While
the exact status OF the appendix, the
housefiy and the white elephant have
not been determined, they doubtless
serve some useful purpose. Heretofore
we had imagined that the bad ege
might be employed solely as a medium
OF criticism for bad ~actors-hardly a
legitimate f~unction-but it seems we
were mistaken. In the course Of the
report OF no less O person than the
commissioner OF accounts OF New York
occurs the following sentence: Mil

NEW PHARMACY LAW
Necessary, Commissioner Says, for the
Protection of the Public.

State Pharmacy Commissioner J. A.
Leverty of Bridgeport was asked the
other day what he thought of the crit
icism of the state pharmacy laws pass
ed by the last general assembly. The
board of which Mr.. Leverty is a mem
Der is supposed to enforce the new
laws which he has studied thoroughly.
Mr.. IeVerty said:
''One would think from agitation
and publicity given to the new phar-
macy laws by the public press that
the pharmacists of the state We're
coming under the provisions of phar-
macy law for the first time. Chapter
216 of the Public Acts referred to as
being unconstitutional is not a new
section of the law. This has been a
part Of the pharmacy law since its in
ception Nor is that section calling
for, the constant attendance of a Ii
censed pharmacist new The present
law. 1t has simply been clarified and
the status of assistant pharmacist
created.
"a strict adherence to the law on
the statute book of 1908 was more OPP
pressive and burdensome than the
present law as under its provisions
the constant attendance of a licensed
pharmacist was required
TN an article recently published the
claim is made that the pharmacists
who got their legislation through the
general assembly should be severely
condemned. If this is true then 80
state deserve condemnation. The phar-
macy laws were reconstructed by
pharmacists for pharmacists and SUBJ
mitted to all interested in the matter
for acceptance or rejection
I'VE question the right of anyone
to say that any law pertaining to the
health and safety of any community
is unjust or burdensome. or that those
responsible for any law which affords
added protection to health and safety
should be condemned.
Second only in Importance to the
correct diagnosis of a patients all
ment is the properly compounded pre-
Scription. Can anyone question the
necessity of a law which gives protec-
ton to the, physician and patient alike
in requiring that at least a preIimi-
nary knowledge of drugs and medi-
cines, their nature and effect. be de-
manded of the persons in whose hands
a prescription is placed TO be com
pounded?''
