New York, March.—Virtually pen- niless, broken in health and hopeless, Dr. Frederick A. Cook, according | to word received by his friends, will reach New York. With him will be Mrs. Cook, who, ever since the Doc- tor was discredited, has been taking him almost all over the world, caring for him and trying to nurse him back to health. Dr. William H. Axtell, of Belling: ham, Wash., a personal friend of Dr. Cook’s, received a letter from Mrs. Cook dated Valparaiso, Chilé. Dr. Axtell said: Spends His Money. “Mrs. Cook tells me Cook made considerable money out of his lec- tures, when he first arrived in New York, but that he spent it in defend- ing himself against bitter attacks from his enemies and before the Copen- | hagen decision was made public. | “Cook left New York later to es- |cape contumely, says Mrs. Cook, and to go before the Board of Inquiry at Copenhagen as his own representa- | tive. Then Mrs. Cook followed him, | met him in England, found him a ner- vous wreck and very ill. “She writes that it was her fault that Cook did not appear publicly at the time he unfavorably was reported on. She says she took him to Hol- land, France, Italy and then to Spain, where they embarked for Buenos Ayres. Go Around Horn. “From Buenos Ayres they went around Cape-Horn to Chile, Cook is still very ill and will be in no condi- tion to take up his fight for the hon- ors which he’ still says should have been his.” Just Received A car of Cane Sugar and a car Northern Seed Potatoes, and our prices are as low as the lowest.

Madison, Wis., March.—U nder the heading. ‘The Skirmish in the House,” Senator LaFollette will say editorially in-his magazine issued: “The new committee on rules will have the same power as the old com- mittee on rules, that is, whenever a majority of its members so determine, it is privileged to present for the con- sideration of the House a special rule or motion with respect to some parti- cular bill or proceedings. It has al- ways had that power. The Republi- can majority of this committee on rules will be named by a Republican caucus. The steel trust, the sugar trust, the beef trust, the cotton trust, in short, the system, will control in that caucus by an overwhelming ma- jority. “It dominates both branches of Congress. It speaks through Ald- rich in the Senate and through Can- non in the House. — It will control the new committee on rules. If for diplomatic reasons it places an insur- gent Republican on the committee, it will be strong enough to balance that The Handwriting on the Wall. Is it possible to fool the people of the United States all the time? A wise and patriotic statesman of form- er times said it was possible to fodl all the people some of the time; a part of them all the time; but not all of the people all the times They will no longer be fooled by the Republi- can crowd which has successfully fooled them for so long. The Re- publican party is now hunting fora new issue with which to fool the peo- ple. Its best and most trusted lead- ers have been at work for months searching for an issue to detract the attention of the people from the live and pertinent issue of the day and before their minds and brains in or- der that the party may again succeed at the polls and win the next election. They will do anything to bring about success no matter how they do it, or what are used. They see the hand- writing on the wall—the doom of their party and in desperation they are ready to take hold of any issue that even looks promising to them. They see their own party discredited and disgraced. They see Taft ina hard and fast alliance with Aldrich, Cannon and “The System” at Wash- ington. They see preparations made to force down the people’s throat, al- ready rasped and inflamed by the Al- appointment with a Tammany Demo- crat. The System There Still. “Cannon will not be a member of the committee, but the system will be as potential on that committee as though Cannon were its chairman. Sheltered behind the committee, he will be as effective an instrument for wrong as though he were still its head and front. He may be even more dangerous. His offensive ar- rogance; his coarse personality, will be less conspicuous. i “The effect of this contest in the House has been greatly exaggerated. When the cheering and the excite- ment over the nominal defeat of Can- non and his machine shall be succeed- ed by calm deliberation, the American people will inquire how much has really been won, how far afield the drich tariff, a central bank and feder- al charter for the trusts.—St. Joseph Observer. Not Always “Found Out.” The New York Times recently said: “What does it avail Mr. Taft now, what has it availed him since the Winona speech, to repeat his feeble defense of that dishonorable decep- tion (the Payne bill?) Fifteen mil- lions of'voters can not be lied to and not find it out.”’ Referring to this statement the Bristol (Va.) Herald-Courier recalled the fact that it was the New York Times “which published the forged Cleveland letter during the last presi- dential campaign and did whatever else it could to defeat Bryan and elect Taft.”’ The Herald-Courier might have told the editor of the New York standards of true representative gov- ernment have been advanced. Effect of the Victory. “The victory will strengthen the morals of the progressive organiza- tion. It will demonstrate that the system can be beaten. But it will be clearly understood that little was achieved besides the temporary hu- miliation of an old man of bad emi- nence, whose successor the system must, at all events, soon be put for- ward, ¥ “Cannonism without Cannon is just as hurtful to the country a Cannon- ism with Cannon. The people must understand that Cannonism is ashort definition of government by that sys- tem. Aldrich and Cannon would have little power for evil if a majority of the Republican majority in both the Sen- ate and the House represented public interest instead of special interests. It’s Up to the People. ‘So long as the Republican major- ity in the House serves the system it will make little difference whether or not Cannon isa member of the com- mittee on rules. The American peo- ple must understand that this has been only a skirmish. The real bat- tle is still to come, and that must be fought out in the primaries and the elections between now and Novem- ber. Candidates must be nominated and elected who will vote against Cannon and ‘his type, without flinch- jing, and against Canyonism in every form. “In fear of the approaching elec- tions, some of the system congress- men deserted Cannon and voted with the insurgents. These men are mak- ing a record upon which to go before their constituents. The gathering storm of public resentment caused them to abandon the camp of the enemy and join the insurgents. Let them come. Let them be tested. Watch their records. They will be tried many times in this session. By their fruits ye shall know them.”’ West Point Hazing Rules Out. Washington, March.—Secretary Dickinson signed an order covering the whole general subject of hazing at West Point and providing in brief 'work at Lake Contrary will be paid Times that whether the people ‘‘can not be lied to and not find it out’’ de- pends in a degree upon the newspa- pers. When the New York Times published that Brandenberg letter, reported to have been written by Grover Cleveland, the Times plainly “lied to’’ the people who depend up- on its columns for information. So far as The Commoner knows the Times has not told its readers that the Brandenbery letter was a forgery. So far as the New York Times was con- cerned, its readers were ‘‘lied to” and they have not yet found it out.— Commoner. Says Comet is Wonderful. Chicago, Ill, March.—Fernando Jones has joined a Halley’s comet club. And if all goes well with Mr. Jones and the comet there will be a double celebration at No. 1834 Prairie avenue on the 27th of next May. One part of the celebration will be in honor of the ninetieth anniversary of Mr. Jones’ birth and the other in honor of the recurrence of his views of the long awaited comet. “Yes, I remember Halley’s comet,”’ said Mr. Jones. ‘‘As I remember, it was visible in Chicago for about two weeks.

In the drama of the revolution against “‘Cannonism"’ the most dra- matic figure was that of “Uncle Joe”’ himself. He dwarfed all the others, insurgents and regulars alike. With the odds against him, he made what must be recognized as an unflinching fight, maintaining his freshness, de- spite his more than 70 years, through the strain of long and exciting ses- sions, and managing to extort, even from his opponents, what his friends are not slow in calling a “vote of confidence.’’ With his associates but the Indians were greatly affected by the phenomena. All the tribes in the northern part of Illinois were called together, and special cere- monies in propitiation of the heavenly visitor were indulged in by the red men. “T was 15 years old at the time, and I was then living near old Fort Dear- born. « ‘Thave, witnessed some remarkable things during my life, but none that was any more wondeful than Halley’s comet.
