SUBSCRIPTION---$5.0 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE VISIT YOUR SCHOOLS. The schools of Bemidji will open next Monday for another school year; and it might not be out of place to urge parents and others to take a more active interest in matters connected with the education of their children. You hear a great deal about your schools, talk much about them, think some about them, and perad- venture wonder not a little more about them than if they were in China. How many heads business men, men of minds, ever cross the threashold of the school room? How many ever offer a word of encouragement to teacher or scholar, and let them know, by your presence, at least occasionally, in the school room, that you are an interested party, really desirous that they should prosper, and that you have their best welfare at heart? How many have personally recog- nized the head of the school, he who has the training of the mind and the building of and establishing the character of your boy or girl? How many have kindly counseled and advised with him, showing that you are with him in the great work, wishing him well, and cheering with a “God speed”? How few can answer in the affirm- ative; and yet you often hear of the school and feel that it is not what it should be, and what you wish it was. Will it help it to be constantly finding fault, continually growling and denouncing it with almost every breath? and wken some trivial or even grave mistake is made, will it better matters to pompously parade the same before the public? Things are not often just what we would like to have them,and surround- ing circumstances not always as we mayimagine or hear they are,and very often, if we knew the exact condi- tion and state of affairs, our minds and opinions would be the reverse to what they were without a knowledge of the facts. Now, this is merely offered asa hint, and while we presume many will read it, it is hoped some will think about it, and at least a few be induced to act upon it and visit our schools at least occasionally dur- ing the coming school year. of families, “BOB” DUNN IS A BIG FACTOR. The Minneapolis Tribune says of Robert C. Dunn: “Robert C. Dunn of Princeton is a funnel shaped cloud on the Re- publican political horizon. It is generally accepted that Mr. Dunn is feeling out the situation. He is on hand and made significant remarks at the opening of the legislative re- union at the State Fair grounds. Whether Mr. Dunn will openly get into tbe race is a problem to which Mr. Dunn is not willing to give the answer. “It is known that Mr. Dunn be- lieves he could draw from the Demo- cratic vote and regards this as an asset, In his speech at the fair grounds he went on record in favor of the income tax, a -one mill levy for roads and bridges and for re- apportionment. Just at present little of nothing is being heard of Ripley Brower and no one seems to know whether heis even consider- ing a candidacy.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA.

COOK London Chronicle Continues Attack on Explorer. London, Sept. 1 .—The Paris edition of a New York newspaper contains an advertisement asking offers for Dr. Cook’s manuscript for exclusive pub- lication and stating that 100,000 words are ready, with ample illustrative pho- tographs. The London Chronicle says: “This volume, we venture to think, should it ever appear, will be num- bered among the curiosities of litera- ture and will find a niche in the li- brary of impostors. We can conceive no purpose that it wlll serve. except as an example of the lengths to which a man may be driven by vanity and appetite for spurious fame.” The Chronicle renews its general at- tack on Cook with increased bitterness and concludes: “We now charge Cook with having fabricated all the statements of any significance with which he has sup- ported his claim to have reached the pola We charge him with attempt- ing an imposture upon the world and with the knowledge that he could long sustain the pretense.” WOULD ARBITRATE COOK-PEARY GLAIMS Goast and Geodetic Survey Of- fers to Declde Dispute. ‘Washington, Sept. 1 .—The coast and geodetic survey will undertake to arbitrate the Peary-Cook North pole eontroversy, providing - Dr. Cook re- quests that it should do so. In view of the fact that Peary has been operatiug under the direotion of the survey it will become the duty of that institution to compute his notes without request from any one and Act- ing Superintendent Perkins said that if Cook should so desire the survey ‘would go over Cook’s papers also. “It is a delicate matter,” saild Mr. Perkins, “to decide the claims in such an important case, but our men are scientists and would be impartial, not to say cold blooded, in such an inves- tigation as it would be necessary to make in arriving at the comparative merits of the claims of the two men. Moreover, I belleve that any conclu- sion arrived at by the survey would be accepted as controlling.” BEARS MESSAGE FROM KAISER Admiral von Koester to Sail for New York Sept. 12. Berlin, Sept. 1 .~—Admiral von Koes- ter will sail for New York Sept. 12 on board the steamer Bluecher. He is the imperial delegate to the Hudson- Fulton celebration and will take com- mand of the German squadron at New ADMIRAL VON KOESTER. York. The embassy has arranged that the courtesy of the port be ex- tended to the admiral on his arrival. It is understood that he is the bearer of a cordial message from Bmperor ‘William to President Taft. COUNTRY POET A MILLIONAIRE 8ize of His Estate a Surprise to Neighbors, New York, Sept. 1:—That Blood- good Cutter, farmer poet, possessed a fortune of nearly $1,000,000 became known when the attorney for the ex- ecutor of his estate filed his account- ing with" the surrogate of Nassau county at Mineola. Mr. Cutter left $900,662.95. The will makes the Bible society of Man- hattan the chlef beneficiary, about $665,000 going to that organization. Mr. Cutter lived at Little Necl, L. I. He was a noted flgure at county fairs and always bobbed up with poetry praising pumpkins and cab- bages. He dressed queerly and no one suspected that he was a millionaire. subscribers to “come in” and pay up on subscription.

PEARY IS MAKING SLOW PROGRESS Explorer Still Out of Touch With the World. DR. COOK GIVEN DEGREE Remains at Copenhagen the Center of Marked Attention, but With Dimin- Ishing Prestige Owing to the Cloud Overcasting Glory Since Peary’s Dramatic Challenge—His Two Eskl- mos Now a Vital Controversy. Factor in the New York, Sept. 1.—Commander Peary is still at Battle Harbor. He is making slow progress southward to- ward North Sydney, N. 8., from whence he will proceed to American ports. No further word has come from him to any quarter concerning the momentous controversy which has aroused Europe and Ameriea by his challenge of Cook’s claim. Dr. Cook is still at Copenhagen, the center of marked attention from dig- nitaries of the official and scientific world, but with diminishing prestige, owing to the cloud overcasting his glory since Peary’s announcement and his dramatic challenge of Cook’s ex- ploit. ‘What the corroborative data is on which the two explorers base their positions is still withheld—from Cook because of his determination to bide his own time in presenting his evi- dence and from Peary because he is still beyond the range of ready com- munication and of detailed knowledge of the various claims and conflicts. Foreign Comment Against Cook. Foreign comment, as expressed by the London and other metropolitan journals, while still highly wrought with mingled enthusiasm and doubt, is beginning to be tinged with flip- pancy and scorn. The trend of this foreign comment appears to be against Cook, the prevailing view being that judgment goes against him by default in nonpresentation of his corrobora- tive evidence. On the other hand his champions insist that all this will be forthcoming in due course and at the proper time. Concerning Peary the foreign atti- tude appears to be one of accepting without question his announcement of reaching the pole, although there is still a reserve of judgment on his ac- cusation as to Cook’s claim of having reached there also. The two Eskimos who accompanied Cook have now become a vital factor in the controversy and in anticipation of the issues involved Dr. Cook has announced that he will equip an ex- pedition to Greenland at his own ex- pense to find those mien and bring them to civilization to record their testimony. DEGREE CONFERRED ON COOK Honored by University of R Copenhagen. Copenhagen, Sept. 1 +—The degree of doctor honoris causa was conferred upon Dr. Frederick A. Cook by the University of Copenhagen in the pres- ence of the crown prince of Denmark Explorer and a distinguished gathering. Professor Torp, rector of the uni- versity, in presenting the diploma to Dr. Cook, spoke of the admiration his achievement hed aroused in the uni- versity and declared that the news that another famous explorer had solved the same problem could in no way detract from the honor due Dr. Cook. Tn expressing his thanks Dr. Cook said he accepted the homor as testi- mony. of the genuineness of his jour- ney. He promised to send the uni- versity his complete records and he repeated that it was his intention to diepatch a ship to Greenland at his own oxpense to bring down the two Hskimos who accompanied him on his expedition. The ceremony occurred in the great hall of the university in the presence of a company numbering 1,200 per- sons, including a number of scientists. ‘When Professor Torp handed the parchment to Dr. Cook the explorer arose to reply, but he was unable to speak for five minutes on account of the continued applause. REPORTS MARVIN'S DEATH Peary Asks That News Be Broken to Mother. Elmira, N. Y., Sept. 1 .—L. C. Be- mont of ITthaca, a member of the Peary rellef expedition of 1901, has received the following message from Commander Robert E. Peary, dated Battle Harbor: “Break news of Marvin's death to his mother immediately, before she sees it in the papers. Drowned April 10 forty-five miles north of Cape Co- lumbia. Groeat loss to me and to the expedition.
