by simple, human dash what elaborate,
scientific expeditions had repeatedly
failed TO do. Probably he SAW that
Peary had practically been forced to
the same plan. Both relied for success
OF assistance from the small tribe of
Far-North Eskimos. Both set scIenti-
fic equipment aside for the sake of
results. though in unequal degree. Both
refused TO rely on the personal stamina
of any OF their own race. but them
selves for the final dash. Both took
new chances on having their word dis
puted. Peary added to this plan the as
surance OF his reputation and a relay
system which would bear out his word
up to the SSth degree and permit somc
scientific observations without too great
delay
Cook. II seems. relied on finding spe-
cial advantages in Sverdrup's route, oil
living as an Eskimo and on being ono
year ahead. Humanity speaking. his
plan WAS the more daring OF the two.

whether he lived UP TO 1t. II he did.

That DR.. Cook reached the North
Pole. or thought he did but was in
capable OF keeping records that would
bear a scientific scrutiny. was suggest
ed long ago In these columns as pos
sible solution of the Cook puzzle. Mr..
KI'arup takes the same view.
Mr. Token Worm. OF THE New York
Review" asserts that, in his opinion.
Bradley and Cook made up the story
between them for the money they could
make out OF it. Bradley. he says, who
furnished the money for the expedi-
tion, Is interested in gambling dens in
Alaska and owns q little Monte Carlo
in Florida He saw, Mr. Worm says.
a chance of making money in the North
Pole game. and he was right, for In a
few months they raked in $50. .000
Bradley and Cook, he adds, had not
calculated on the return OF Peary so
soon. That spoiled their plans.
We give both these opinions for what
they are worth. Until further devcl-
opments there is no harm in taking
the more charitable view OF the case.
But. whatever the facts may be. Dem
mark has no cause for being ashamed
of the recognition of Cook, on his ar
rival there. 1t is not customary, in the
civilized world, to regard scientists and
explorers as guilty of falsehood until
they have proved their innocence, The
Danish reception of Cook was a tribute.
not to the man, but to achievement
claimd by him in the world of endeavor
and daring, and the manner in which
they did recognize such achievement
was a credit to them.

GETTING TOGETHER

Many misunderstanding between in
dividuals and between parties would be
prevented if people would only get to-
gether and talk matters over calmly and
in friendly spirit. II is the remaining
apart that does the mischief, because it
engenders suspicion and wrong views.
There is wonderful clarifying and
smoothing power in the sitting side by
side in spirit of fairness and with the
one desire of reaching the truth and cul-
tivating friendly relations. This ia where
boards of conciliation, commissions and
interviews, official or unofficial, have their
value.
But this getting together is useful not
only when discordance OF views exists,
but also in getting people of similar
opinions to work as one body for the
turtherance of some good object. The
progress of many cities is retarded not so
much from diversity OF views and absepce
OF spirit of accord, as from the fact that
their citizens do not get together and
cooperate. A single individual, however
good his project and however pure his
motive, may accomplish little standing
alone, but the combination of a number
OF individuals animated by the same pur-
pose can oftentimes achieve wonders in
the business, social, esthetic
and moral welfare OF the place in which
they live. One person is but one, but
let him join with another and the power
is more than doubled. It is said that
one and one make two, but in numerals
they often stand for eleven and that is
generally the ratio of influence when
they get together and work.

COMPROMISE ON WEATHER
GIVES NEWARK CLEAR DAY.

After considerable influence had been
brought to bear upon the weather man
he decided to side-track the promised
blizzard and to hold over the all-round
nasty weather that they were prepared
to turn loose today. A compromise was
effected early this morning whereby
Newark was to receive a stiff cold wave
in place of the scheduled storm an
nounced yesterday.
In consideration of this change New
ark people are to refrain from knock
ing the weather sharps for the balance
of the winter.
That being settled, patriotic citizens
turned their attention to rearranging
the city's decorations. But, alas! a
smart wind that tossed the gay bunting
In wild confusion made this difficult.
Professor Wiener, of the High School
weather bureau. announces that the
cold wave will continue tonight and
will keep everyone moving. 1t won't be
as bad as the one two weeks ago, but
it will be enough to attract attention.
Anyone who expects to be out late to-
night is advised to so as warmly clad
as possible.
A stiff northwest wind will make
things still more uncomfortable, while
the thermometer, which at noon regis
tered 80 degrees, will keep right on
going down.
