Philadelphia. Ian To Congressman
+. T. Macon of Arkansas. who was
here saturday to attend the launching
of the hattIeslip Arkansas at Camden,
y. J.. took another wiaek 1T Captain
Koi,ert r. Pcary. the Arctic explorer.
The congressman declared that he
will carry his opposition t. tie bill
making peary u rear admiral and IN
ereasing his Lay to tie floor of the
House.
1t &aS d ramp meeting of I'll"
House committee on naval affairs de
clared Congressman Macon. that Not-
ed t. advance Peary to the rank of
rear admiral and Ray him SS00h a year
for lis alleged exploit in discovering

the honor and higher pay tor Peary. In
other words. but nine of the ~ i1em
bers Soted "a nut th. stamp Of reeog-
nition upGn reary'S exploit.
Congressman Roberts of Massachu-
sctts was the ole member of the House
committee present who voted against the
proposition and he will join with me i'll
continuing opposition upon the floor Of
the House wien the bill comes up for
consideration and passage.
"Peary. In my judgment. is a preten-
tous fraud. and there, is no reason why
Congress should place the stamp of legit-
iluacy upon his fake discovery. Peary
admitted before the committee, under
cross-exan.ination that his compass was
pointing toward the magnetic pole. which

cation of the North pole. He also admit
ted that he took no longitudinal observa-
tions during the last go miles Of his jour
ncy.
Il have received thousands of letters
protesting against putting the stamp of
congressional approval on Peary. More
than 800 of these came from Pennsylva-
MIA. only 4 few letters favor the meas
ure. It's curious that these Pennsylvania
congressman Should So So against the
wishes of their constituents.
1t appears to me that if Peary really
discovered the pole he could afford to rest
Oh his laurels and let time prove his
claim. That he is trying so hard to get
the backing of Congress proves to me
that he didn't locate the pole and so
wants the stamp of official approval to
bolster up his contention
Cooks account or his discovery, so
called appeared before Peary's The lat
ter corroborated Cook in many ways in
regard to conditions about the pole and
SO forth I think he simply used Cook s
story to fill the gaps in his own"
There is no reason why Congress
should place the stamp of legitimacy
upon his alleged discover. Peary ad-
mitted before the committee that his
| compass was Iointins toward the mag
netic pole which is 100 miles away
from the supposed location of the
North pole. He also admitted that he
took no longitudinal observations dur
ing the last 800 miles of his journey.
Congressman Macon also paid his COM
plments to Congressman Hobson of San
tiago harbor fame He declared that
Hobson ought to be ashamed of hin.seit
for going about the country asserting
that Japan with its 100000 of under
sized people could thrash the United
States with its 90OO0,000.

II have had it happen to

people who are not worthy to
button up their shoes, and who

President Taft is strong
enough in his criticism. They
are "small- headed men not
worthy to button up the shoes"
of those whom they blackball,
and "who have no standing ex-
cept in clubs" Suggestion of
proper action to be taken in
