A Scientists View of jThe PearyCook Case

From the first The Journal has heldthat it Is only reasonable to believethat both Cook and Peary reached-the pole Of course the former willgo down In history as the discovererfor ha reached his goal a year ahead-of the latter but Peary Is entitled tohonor for his pluck and persistency-and final attainment of the object forwhich he has striven for years

We are happy to be confirmed Inour estimate of the case by so high-an authority as the eminent astrono ¬

mer Professor Samuel Phelps Lelandwho says In the October number ofThe Florida Review-

At length after the struggle ofalmost a century and a half and theexpenditure of vast fortunes and the

e many lives the north poleof the earth has been reached Prac¬

tically the results of the discoveryare valueless A paragraph or twomust be added to our geographies-and a stroke or two more must bemade with the stylus of the map-maker The measureless ice fieldshave been explored a little furtherthan bfore That is all

Two rival explorers are seeking toestablish priority in reaching thepole No doubt can reasonably exist

+ that both men have been there andthat Dr Cook and Commander Pearyare entitled to equal praise Anycontroversy about their respectiveclaims is childish

The question Is often asked Lowcan the exact point where the linesof latitude meet be determined Is itdifficult By no means An astrono-mer

¬

with proper knowledge of mathe ¬

matics and with a sextant and amercurial horizon with which to se ¬

cure a level would find little difficultyin doing it The observations to beexact must be based upon the appalent eleation of the sun above thelion on plane To secure this the ob-

server¬

would be obliged to remainthere 24 hours or more

If the sun did not give him aid thedirection of the Polar Star wouldguide him closely to the pole Withthe wellknown variations of that startaken into account the star should-be in the zenith directly above theobserver This could be easily de ¬

termined-The daily logbook of the explorer

would be conclusive evidence to ascientific man that the author hadreached the point claimed Could notthis logbook be fabricated Noteasily To do that would require athorough knowledge of astronomyAnd a fabricated logbook would beso free from errors as to excite sus¬

picion The real logbook recordingactual daily observations made fre¬

quently under unfavorable conditions-and faulty but corrected by the nextdays or the next weeks observationsraaffo under better conditions Is verysatisfying and could hardly be manu¬

factured so as to deceive a scientific-man A skilled physician can easilydetect a simulated spasm

Professor Lelands paper is briefbut presents the whole matter In anutshell And it is a pity that Pearythrough his high handed insultingbehavior toward Cook has alienatedfrom him many who would otherwisehave accorded him his full measure-of admiration but who now areprejudiced against him and moved by-

a spirit of vindictiveness-Cook on the contrary has acted

the gentleman throughout His calmassurance speaks volumes in his fa ¬

vor as well as does his refusal toenter into a wordy controversy al¬

though egged on by a quasi scientificbody the Peary Arctic Club He knowsjust what Professor Phelps has de-

clared¬

that tho distinguished body ofscientists in Denmark who willscrutinize his calculations and reportwill ferret out and expose any attempt-at fraud just as easily as the skilledphysician would detect a simulatedspasm

BOOST BOOM BUILI> THATSAL-

LIs This Another 1I

Victim of Pessimism-It is with joy we note that The

Lakeland News favors a state board-of trade It is with grief that wecontemplate the apparent hopeless-ness

¬

of Editor Hetherington with re-gard to its organization and success ¬

ful operation From a recent edi ¬

tion of the paper we clipped the fol ¬

lowing-We do not wish to be put down as

opposing a state board of tradefarfrom it Such a body properly or¬

ganized and vigorously conductedcould be of vast benefit to the stateIntlie great work of development thatthe next decade will witness Wemerely pointed out that efforts alongthis line heretofore have not accompllihed < any brilliant success Per¬

7

haps such lessons may be drawn fromprevious failures as will insure betterluck next time It is a facta lamentable deplorable fact but a factneverthelessthat if one desires tofind a real goodanddead organization-for exhibition or ornamental purposes-he has only to Journey to the nearesttown of from one to ten thousandpopulation and inquire for the board-of trade And the same conditionsprobably will produce like resultswith respect to a statewide organiza-tion

If this condition exists as TheNews declares and we believe itspeaks with reasonit only empha¬

sizes what we have maintained thedaily and weekly press the mostpowerful vitalizer in the state shouldstir up these business centers with ahot rod and drive away the apathywhich destroys their usefulness And-

so far as a state board of trade Isconcerned this same press so manymembers of which have expressedthemselves as favorable to such anorganization should keep the mattereternally before the people shouldpoint out Its necessity as a factor inthe states development should moldpublic opinion In this direction untilsuccess shall have crowned theeffort

The Journal Is glad to feel thatpessimism has no part in its makeup-and throws no wet blanket to chilland smother its endeavor It cannotunderstand how the blight can haveentered the sanctums of any of thebold progressive men who edit thenewspapers of Florida Never saydie should be our motto brethren-

It is one which when adhered to intho past has turned many a defeatInto a victory and may still be reliedupon to overcome every obstacle-even one so ponderous and inert asthe commercial bodies of Florida ac¬

The Best Food for Workers

The best food for those who workwith hand or brain is never highpriced

The best example of this Is found InQuaker Oats It stands at the topamong foods that supply nourishment-and vigor without taxing the diges ¬

This great food value and low costmake it an ideal food for families whowant to get the greatest good fromwhat they eat

Laborers factory or farm hands fedplentifully on Quaker Oats will workbetter and with less fatigue than Iffed on almost any other kind of foodAll of these facts were proved andvery interesting information abouthuman foods were gathered by Pro ¬

COOKS PHOTOGRAPHER SAYSTHE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE

The affidavits of Barrill Miller andothers were sworn to In the office ofJames M Ashton an attorney of Tacoma who was retained by certaininterests in New York said to be thePeary Arctic Club to investigate thealleged ascent of the great Alaskanpeak by Dr Cook

COOK SAYS HE CANEASILY PROVE STATEMENTS

Philadelphia Oct 14Dr Cook wasasked for a reply to the Barrill aff-idavit

¬

but said he would not discuss-it until Barrill comes East He saidit was by an oversight that Barrlllwas not paid In full for his services-of the Mount McKinley climb but hedoes not think that oversight wouldmake Barrill vindictive Cook saidhe could easily prove he had been tothe summit ot Mount McKinley

Until I know of the conditionsunder which the affidavit was made Iwill make no specific reply My ac ¬

If an expedition of experienced-men will follow my route and go tothe top of Mount McKinley they willfind there the records I deposited-

Cook said lie expected soon to com ¬
