COOK VERSUS PEARY.
The controversy between the two
self-announced discoverers of the
North Pole, has become very bitter,
and Is bringing out the human make
up of these candidates for the
crown of fame. Dr. Cook so far
has shown better taste than Peary
by being willing to submit his
claims to the highest court of au
thority on this question of nrtlc ex
ploration while Peary has very ar
rogantly made assertions which
would lead the public to believe that
the North Pole had been established
by the Maker of the Universe for
the express purpose of having him
discover It, and that Dr. Cook con
Bequently could not have got there
ahead of him, and if by accident he
had the fact should be blotted out,

our allegiance to the main issue
the annihilation of the liquor traf

lack of law enforcement, not only
In our own county, but elsewhere,
and the growing indifference to
Sabbath desecration; the evasion of
the law on the part of the dealers
in the deadly cigarette and the lacK
of chivalry on the part of tobacco
users.

with those fearless agitators In fer
reting out the system of the White
Slave Traffic and in trying to break
down the false modesty which has
kept this giant evil so long hidden
from the public.

the death of our county official,
Judge George Purdy, we, as a coun

to our State Executive against ap
pointing a judge who will be un
willing to listen to our remonstran
ces as they may come before him
from time to time.
Resolved, That we hail as a good
omen the fact that President Taft
has turned his glass down and de
clared himself a total abstainer and
furthermore that the discoverer of
the North Pole, Dr. Cook, refused
to accept the tendering of beer, af
firming that it had never been car
ried northward.
Resolved, That we do rejoice in
the rapid strides that have been
made along the lines of prohibition
elsewhere and that we will not cease
working until the liquor trillic with
all its kindred evils shall be placed
under the ban of the law.
Resolved, That we double our ef
forts in securing the passing of an
good measures touching the home.
Resolved, That we tender our
thanks to Miss Phelps for her ex
cellent suggestions for furthering
the press work of our county and
also to the pastor, Rev. Boyce, for
supplementing her remarks in so
kindly a manner.

sider it our duty to become sub
scribers to our National and State
papers, using them as sharp-edged
tools with which to do good and
efficient work.
Resolved, That our tender sym
pathy goes to those who are mourn
ing the loss of their loved ones, and
to those who are mourning the loss
of ther loved ones, and prayerfully
recommend them to Him who "tem
pereth the wind to the shorn lamb."
