he did get to the pole. and that Ad-

good financial returns, no doubt, from
this essay.
Doctor Cook is at once a monument
to individual enterprise in the realm
Of public entertainment and to popu-
lar credulity. There win always be
q certain number of people who viii
believe that he is the real discoyerer
Of the pole and he will be able TO
draw something from their pockets by
exhibition of his claim. His credit
cannot be very heavy, but, perhaps,
there will remain enough in the dregs
of his story, whichever way he may
elect to tell it with the changing sea
sons, to keep him in support for the

due that much in tribute to his mag
nation and imperturbability The

There is no denying the ingenuity
and enterprise of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook. If he couldn't reach the pole
he is determined to reach the pocket
of the public He got away with a
good many dollars on his first story
Of how he got to the ''boreal center. .
After his claims to serious considera-
ton as great discoverer had drain
ed out. he turned around and sold a
series of articles to a magazine in
which he admitted that he was not at
all certain that he had reached the
pole. That made a good sensation
and brought in a lively sum of money
The doctor has Topped again. He says
now that he did get to the pole, and
that he never admitted that he did
not. He claims that the magazine
which published his story garbled and
changed his writing to make it ap-
pear that he had confessed to being
a fake. So he will now proceed upon
a new course of articles to prove that

UNJUsTLY calTIcIsINe WILSON.

There is an element throughout the
country which ii. very unjust to the
New Jersey governor because he is in
thorough accord with the progressive
ideas Of the democratic party. These
people continue to harp about his
change of heart, yet these same peo-
pie daily attempt to change the opin-
ion Of the public mind.
Some years ago, when Woodrow
Wilson was a college president, he
wrote some articles on political econ
omy in which he said that the initia-
tive and the referendum were not
practicable, and, because he has
changed their opinions-attempt to
prejudice the people against the New
Jersey man because he has found that
he was wrong and has had the man
hood to admit it.
Times change and so do men
change. Environment has a great
deal to do with mankind and If any
one happens to conscientiously be on
the wrong side he should be commend.
ed when he finds himself wrong and
gets into the place where he belongs
and with the people with whom he is
in thorough accord.
There are some men who have been
right all of their lives. There are
some who realize their mistake later
in life and make amends and then
there are those who never get right
and do not give a person the priyi-
lege Of thinking like they please.
1t is ones privilege to object to the
things advocated by Governor Wilson,
and no doubt there are thousands who
oppose him conscientiously, but those
who accuse him Of inslncerlty because
he happens to be in harmony with
present day politics should remem-
Der that the wise man changes his
mind and that a fool never does.
While The News may not think Gov
ernor Wilson the most available man
for the democratic nomination next
year, it does believe him to be a
great man and a real statesman. He
has done much for democracy and
democrats should find other occupa-
lions rather than passing structures
upon man who has done much for
the party.

THE FARMER AND THE COST OF
LIVING.

The problem OF the high cost Of
living is one that is worrying the per
pie Of every section OF the United
States as well as those Of foreign
countries. The problem must be
solved at an early time or it is hard
TO calculate the result.
The trusts and the combines to
make prices higher are to be handled
for It is a fact that they are dolag
their share to become rich from the
necessities Of life which are used by
everyone every day but there is an
other cause which makes the cost Of
living higher and it is this cause
which enables the combines to take
the advantage Of the ultimate con-
sumner. We refer to the increasing
population without an increase in the
supply
George 2. Roberts, director Of the
United States mint. in a recent inter
view. cited the fact that the cen
sus shows the population Of the coun-
try increased p per cent. between
1900 and 1910, while the farm land
area increased only AZ per cent. This
fact points indisputably to higher liv-
ing cost, but it is of the most fax
reaching importance 1t reaches TO
the whole economic and industrial sit
uation in the United States,
1t may be readily seen that there
is reason for the cost of living becom-
ing higher because there are more
people to consume and the source
from which comes the necessities Of
life is not increasing with the popu.
lation.
These facts are given to show the
opportunity which awaits those per-
sons who will take time by the fore
lock and invest in Georgia farm lands.
If the price of foodstuffs is to con-
tinually become higher than the Flor
ida farmers will reap the benefit
The Georgia farmer cannot see
anything in front of him but prosper
ity. 1t has been learned that in
Georgia there is not alone one
money" crop but that two, three or
sometimes four of these money crops
may be made on the same tract of
ground
There are few better investments
than money invested in farm, lands Of
Georgia and then money invested to
cultivate them. Stock raising and
truck growing will make big returns
and the climatic conditions make
health here the best in the world.
Georgia farmers are not trying to
make the cost of living higher, but
they will to a large extent reap the
benefit from it.
