DIR. COOK COMES nAc<. AGAIN.


Or. Frederick a. Cook. tho Orieinal
Discoverer OF tho North Pole, has writ
ten letter to Congressman Roberts. 3,
member Of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs. protesting that he does
not oppose any honors that Congress
may have for Commander Peary who
reached tho Pole after Dr. Cook had
found 1t, but that he wishes to protest
against the inaccuracy OF the work
OF II. c. Mitchell and c. II. Duvan. Of
the Coast Gcodetic Survey, upon whose
calculations the House Committee is
said TO have based It's findings DR..
Cook says that in attempting 10 prove
that Commander Peary was within one
and one sixth miles OF the Pole. thcse
experts stopped" to unscientific
methods: that they did not make ade-
quate allowance for refraction; that
with the bull's-eyc lantern as the sun
and nolasscs as tho horizon, with the
light striking tho surface at less than
seven degrees, rs MIR Pearys sun did.
1t will be found that the suns image
is an oblons streak OF Fight with i'll
defined edges. Such an image cannot
be recorded on q sextant with sufficient
accuracy e make 1t Of any use as an
observation"
This appears TO be scientific view
Of the question and should give pause
to Congress III the determination OF the
rewards that should so to Commander
Peary.
We are 50 much impressed Win The

the Committee call DR. Cook before ii

When we ventured to compare Gov
ernor Wilson's public utterances with
those of two of Americas greatest
sons, we had in mind not only the
forecful clarity Of the English that he
uses, the utter lack of ambiguity OF
equivocation, the far-sighted, tolerant
treatment of all opponents and the
earnest patriotism so evident in speech
utterly devoid of oratorical trickery
We noted also the frequent Instructive
lapSing from dignif1ed discussion into
homely metaphor and telling epigram.
AS a final sidelight upon the char
acter and courage and purposes of the
man who within a year has moved
from scholastic seclusion into the po-
sition of one of the foremost public
men of the time, we think the fact
that the following verses by Edward
Rowland Sill is the favorite poem of
Cover nor Wilson. is significant to all
who are watching his career:
Opportunity.
This I beheld or dreamed it in q
There spread cloud Of dust along the
And underneath the cloud. or in it
ragged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and
swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. a
princes banner
Wavered, then staggered backward
hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battles edge
And thought, Had sword of keener
steel
That blue blade that the kings son
bears-but this
Blunt thing!" he snapped and flung it
from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the
field.
Then came the kings son-wounded,
breasted
And weaponless-and saw the broken
sword,
Hit buried in the dry and trodden
sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with
battle shout
Lifted afresh, he hewed the enemy
down.
And saved a great cause that heroic
day.
