the clouds are hanging low,
When the crowds in town are lacking
and the sales are coming slow;
Don't cuss the weather prophets or
wrath unseemly show
There's a better day coming, and 1t
could be worse, you know.
Don't get angry when you hear your
neighbours cash drawer ring;
Just put aside your prejudice and act
like a king.
And when there are no profits, make
believe you5re coming dough
You could be losing money, which
would be worse, you know.
When you are broke completely and
your bank account is gone;
When you've spent your last tack and
your last assets In pawn,
Just get into the field and get yourself
pillow and hoe
Take up the white mans burden-it
could be worse, you know
And when you have succeeded and
your starry crown you wear,
With angels playing round you and
glory everywhere; (
Look DER the walls of Jasper, see the
place where some folks 60
Then lay back and take 1t easy, for
1t could be worse, you know.

too much exertion to waste, and with
the same amount Of mental and physi-

the exact poise. and then be right.
He is of the worker type Of man. When

BALTIMORE ACTIVE
In CAPITALS CAUSE
Working Hard to Bring the
Canal Celebration Here.

Baltimore is working tooth and nail,
commercially and politically. with Wash
ington in the effort to have Congress
make an appropriation for a celebration
ir the National Capital of the opening
Of the Panama Canal.
Baltimore's trade and civic bodies have
assured the District workers that they
will help in any way possible. They
will be represented and will take an
active part next Wednesday when the
Senate committee which is handling the
matter of canal celebrations will give a
complete hearing on Washington's bid
The committee was to have gone into
the matter yesterday, but Senator Ray
ner and other members could not attend
because Of pressing engagements. and
the postponement until next Wednesday
was decided upon.
Chairman Henry s. F. Macfarland, Of
the joint committee of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce and Board of
Trade, said yesterday he expected Balti-
more to stand behind Washington in all
of the Capitals requests in connection
with the celebration, and that he be-
leved the idea would be adopted by the
Senate.

Capt. Baldwin pointed out marked SIM
ilaritieS between the accounts of the doc
tor and the commander in regard to polar
discoveries in high latitudes, and assert
ed that Cook must have obtained his in
formation from personal investigation,
or that Peary followed Cook in writing
as well as travelling. He said Peary's
records were not clear.
He also declared that if Harry Payne
Whitney, the New Haven sportsman
would come out in the open and tell all
he knew about what DR.. Cook left in
Etah there might be disclosed a startling
story. He said Capt Bartlett, Of Peary S
ship, the Roosevelt. had told him per-
sonally that DR.. Cook did have a sex
tant of some sort at Etah. Capt Baldwin
could not understand why Commander
Peary refused to bring back DR.. Cooks
documents and instruments from Etah,
and stated that this matter would neces-
state investigation.
Capt. Baldwin said the criticism that
the doctors story read like a rewrite
from Sverdrup was neither fair play nor
square deal. He characterized it as an
armchair comment.
In conclusion, the captain said he did
earnestly hope that the American Con-
gress would be extremely cautious in the
matter of distributing nautical honors
connected with the mailing Of the flag to
the pole. He said nothing about DR..
Cooks reported climb to the top of
Mount Mckinley. which has been de-
nounced as even a more unjustifable
claim to exploring honors than the north
pole feat.

John Mitchell. former president Of the
United Mine Workers, and member of
the National Civic Federation, to-day
receives the good wishes Of thousands of
his admirers, it being his forty-second
birthday.
Mr. Mitchell has crowded into his life
much useful and beneficial work, and
boldly stands out as a splendid specimen
of American manhood.
He was born in Braidwood, Will Coun-
ty, ILL.,. where he also went to school.
Becoming interested in the labor ques-
ton at an early age. he studied law for
one year, and read on economic questions.
and gathered information on questions OF
organization, &C., by connection with
organized labor from his sixteenth year.
AS a boy of thirteen he worked in the
coal mines, and three years late- joined
the knights Of Labor.
Directed Miners' Strikes.
He rapidly rose in the labor organiza-
ton. where his worth and genius were
at once recognized. He has been nation
al president of the United Mine Workers
for five consecutive terms. and directed
strikes of anthracite mine workers in
1900 and 1902

CAPT. BALDWIN BOOSTS
COOK AND RAPS PEARY
Arctic Explorer Maintains Brooklyn Mkman Beat
Commander to Pole and Has Been
Victim of Well-laid Plot

The sad. embittered lives of those prom
inent figures on the reception committees
that welcomed DIR. Frederick a. Cook to
various large cities and profitable au-
diences because he had said he was the
original. blown in the bottle discoverer
of the north pole, took a more cheerful
view of the situation yesterday after
Caro- Evelyn Briggs Baldwin had come
out with a boost for Cook and an infer
entfal. not to say direct, knock for Com
mander Robert Z. Peary.
Capt Baldwin is an arctic explorer on
his own account, having been in the game
some twenty years. and having figured
as leader of the Baldwin n-Ziegler expedi-
ton of 190l-02. 1t was obvious that he
did not think whole lot of Commander
Peary, with whom he served on one cx-
pedftion, and he was perfectly firm in
maintaining that DR.. Cook beat Peary to
the pole. He also thought that the doctor
was a victim of a deep laid plot in the
matter of Dunkel and Loose, the men
who claimed to have prepared the data
on which the doctor paved his claim to
the pole and lecture profits
Truth in .Confession.~
Capt. Baldwin said that DR.. Cooks S
confession which is being played up in
a magazine at this time was not a con-
fession, but that the doctor was telling
the truth in reiterating statements about
how he got to the pole, or thereabouts.
and f1ourished on diet of gumdrops.
