He is quick tempered, and his hasty ac- tion in the present case is due to his dispositoin. I can readily understand how he has been led into making the attack on Dr. Cook, knowing him as I do. For more than twenty years he has been trying to reach the North pole. He is so convincing in his per- suasive qualities that he was enabled to induce men of wealth to contribute large sums of money for his expedi- tions, and the newspapers have al- ways treated him with generosity. The press made much of him, praised him without stint, and acceptgd all his accounts without question. Is it any wonder that he came to regard others as more or less of interlopers?” AMAZING DEVELOPMENT IN THE POLE CONTROVERSY The Lawsuit Brought by the Times / Against the Sun and World. New York, Sept. 15.—~Certainly the most amazing development in the North pele controversy is the lawsuit brought by the New York Times against the World and the Sun with the object of restraining them from publishing Commander Peary's ac- count of his Arctic expedition, It is impossible to believe that the Times acted without consulting a competent lawyer. Why, then, did it not follow his advice? For surely no lawyer can hiave counselled it to take such a case into court. Ir the first place, any lawyer must have seen clearly that a verdict against the World and the Sun must recoil upon the Times itself. For only a very few days ago it reproduced, with a somewhat disingenuous, not to say small minded, credit to the Herald's European edition instead of to this Herald, the Herald's copyright cable- ‘gram from Dr. Frederick A. Cook re- porting his conquest of the pole. Thus the Times has done what it was pros- ecuting other newspapers for doing, and if it won the suit it condemned itrelf. That the Times feared to be paid back in its own coin is proved by the folicwing letter, which the Herald re- ceived from the Times in connection with the cablegram which it was awaiting from Commander Peary. “The Times’' Letter. “Dear Sirs—We beg to notify you that the New York Times Company Ras, under an agreement with Mr. Peery, the sole exclusive rights to pub- lish or sell for publication Peary's story of his recent expedition to the ole, resulting in its discovery. There- lore, as an attempt to obtain Peary's story other than through us has been colled to our attention, we deem it ad- visable, both in fairness to you our- selves, to advise you to the above effec(, and so avoid any misunderstand- ing. “As to our relative rights, all re- quirements of the copyright law have peen fully complied with, and any infr.ngement rights will be properly proceeded against. Yours truly, “The New York Times.” Coming from a paper that had just shoewn its contempt for the copyright laws by publishing the Herald's copy- righted cablegram from Dr. Cook, this cornmunication is as cool as anything trat either Cook or Peary found at the Nortl: pole. Arother consideration that should have decided the Times to keep out of the law courts concerns the terms 0f its “bond” with Peary. It must surely have struck the Times that the “Lend” would have to be produced, and it l¢ inconceivable that an American newspaper can be proud of such a document, one which makes Shylock’s biA:d seem quite moderate in compari- sor “Mr. Many people delude themselves by saying “Tt will wear away,” when they notice symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble.

Ayres Finds Gem Lost by Mrs. Griffin. Mrs. E. H. Griffin of Sound beach, lost a valuable diamond from a ring she was wearing while alighting from a Sound beach car Ménday morning in front of the Stamford Congregational church. The stone caught on her veil and was torn out of its setting. After a search in which she was joined by a large crowd of bystanders, Mrs. Grifin reported the loss to Chief Brennan. The stone was worth about $200. B. M. Ayres happened to be on the same (\r with Mrs. Grifin and heard her remark about losing the ring. Mr. Ayres .went down to Sound beach to transact business and on his return to Stamford was attracted by some- thing shining tween the_cracks in the seat which Mrs. Griffin occupied. It proved to be.the missing stone. Mr. Ayres returned it to Mrs, Griffin. news both in Europe, al to give to me th reccives after dedu costs of ca- bie tolls, etc. The Times and fts associates will pay me what they con- sider a reasonable amount for the use of the material in their own publica- tion.

E. PEARY." In return, not for remuneration but for a loan, the explorer was to labor, risk his life, risk his companions’ lives, endure exile, suffer the grastly cold of the Arctic and countless hard- ships if she succeeded in reaching the pole, in acocmplishing something that had defied all the efforts of untold numbers of gallant men for three cen- turies. He was to provide the Times with the story of his achievement in order that from the proceeds of its =ale to other newspapers in this country and abroad the Times might recoup its loan, a paltry $4,000, to the explorer, and if the enterprise failed Mr. Peary was to refund the sum as best he coulc. % Such a leonine contract has rarely, if ever, been paralleled in American jou'nalism. Hitherto great national en‘erprises, such: as—to instdnce only a few of those organized directly by ta» Herald—the American relief fund for the starving Irish, the Jeannette exrpedition te the Arctic regions and Stanley’s, quest of Livingstone, have not been sullied by Sommercialism. For American journalism, to its credit be it said, is characterized as a whole by a spirit of generosity and patri- ot.sm. tire amount; it Philosophy of Good Cheer. A Harmony club has been formed in New York, and it has applied to the supreme court for articles of incor- paration. Here are some of the ob- Jjects mentioned in the petition: To harmonize people with them- selves, their surroundings and each other. To prove the efficient value smile and song in everyday life. To establish the perfect unity of body, mind, heart and spirit. To investigate, formulate and dem- onstrate the sclentific laws of happi- ness. To enunciate the principles of whole- some, triumphant, sincere living. To print the discoveries of modern psychology in simple, attractive guise. To put those who want vital know ledge in touch with those who have To maintain a brotherhood of indi- viduals whose sympathy is the only ‘bond. . To impart the secrets of self help as the highest form of altruism. To promote free discussion of every subject that makes for clear individu- ality of life. These are individual policies which, if carried out, will do the republic more good than the demands of all the po- litical platforms ever writ. For it is not on great principles concerning po- litical duty that our social and indus- trial progress rests; it is in doing the decent, honest, kindly things in indi- vidual life. Everything geod in this land depends, at last, upon the home and busin life of the people. It would be a good thing if we could all join that Harmony club and prac tice the ideas that it proclaims. Wh it would make this world more like “kingdom come” than all the libraries, schools and churches could; in fact, it would be the culmination of the aspir- ations of all these.

James Payne wrote of his experience in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the '70s of the last century: “In the street where I first resided it struck me that, to judge by the drawn down blinds, the people spent a good deal of their thme upon the seventh day in bed; on my second unday, however, I was undeceived, 'or my landlady came up and inform ed me that though she had not spoken of it last Sunday she must mow draw my attention to the fact that it was not usual in Edinburgh to drew up the window blinds on the Sabbath, and that the neighbors had begun to remark up- on the ‘unlawful appearance’ of her es- tablishment, whioh had heretofore been 2 God-fearing house.” Captain Wriffen has reached London after ae year spent in exploring the southeastern distriots of Colombia, South America. Among the more curi- ous discoveries Captain Wriffen made is the secret of the system of teleg- raphy employed by the natives. Sound is the medium used. Hollow trees are selected, and these, being of various thickness, are able to give out a high and low notes when struck. The sound travels immense distances through the bush—many miles. A code is not em- ployed, but from the different musical notes the native is able actually to rec- ognize the words that are intended. Birmingham, England, was the home of prize fighting when the ring was patronized by literature and royailty. There was Rendigo, who became an enemy of aH unrighteousness. “Wot's atheists 7 he asked once, on being told that a gathering of men he saw were of that persuasion. He was told. “Don’t belleve in God, don’t they?” he shouted. “Here, hold my coat, I'll soon show ’em wot's wot!” Of the railways in Holland, E. V.

It is impossible to travel in the wrong train.” of a Assistantce with a String. It is deeply to he regretted that Ceumander Peary's experiences may make him doubt this. As the organ- ized leader of a great natio effort to unravel the mystery of the pole he might reasonably have counted up- on receiving the assistance the Times, as an American newspaper, conld give him._ but the assistance had a string to it. No matter what might be the foriune of his expedition, he would still have to pay back to the Times “that little Joan.” In this transaction the Times ap- pears to have played with Mr. Peary a game of “heads I win, tails you lose.” Apparently, in addition to be- ing “fit to print,” the news must also be cheap. PRESS OPINION ON & TIMES-PEARY SUIT American Newspapers Analyze the Ruling of Judge Hand in Copyright Case. New York, Sept. 15.—American newspapers have taken up the Naw York Times-Peary copyright mat- ter and the recent <court decision against the publication mentioned, and i\ ¢ are some of the editorial opin- or. What is Public Pelicy. “A judge has decided against the New York Times in its effort to keep Peary’s matter to itself and the sub- [ ers to its syndicate. The decis- ion, however, was based on the fact tiat the Times had printed the mat- ter in pamphlet and that its contract wirk Peary did not give it this par- r right. The broader question of news copyright is not touched. “The pity is that there is absolutely no ruling by a higher court that wifl determine this question of copy- ng news. What would be public The point is made that it d be againet public policy to give a.y single agency the sole privilege 0? publication of a world event. In Pueary’s case this is not a strong point., He gave the news of his discovery to th2 world. All the papers printed it. A" the essential facts were spread broadcast. The story over which the present bother made js simply a continued rrative printed in instal monts. at the end of which the read- er finds the tantalizing information that tter¢ will be more next day. “Peary is an artist, and it is won- derful the by-products he gets out of a journey, but so far he has not helped the solution of news cony- right."—Baltimore Star. Beat was the Herald's. “Two Idanver contemporaries fand others elsewhere are calling upon high heaven to witness the theft of a twice told tale by Peary, the discovery a year after the original discovery, of the ‘great nail’ But it was only the other day, when the story was told by a citizen who reached the pole firat and had something of interest to tell the News and Times here, and news- papers throughout the country in the ame position, stole that story from the New York Herald without as much as ‘by your leave’ and exulted in the theft. Those newspapers which are clamoring the loudest regarding the e of the Peary tale ought to remem- ber the maxim about entering a court of equity with clean hands, “The Herald secured the great beat on the North Pole discovery and that was glory enough.”—Denver Republi- can, Spectacle is Pathetic. “Briefly, the court held that news cannot very well be copyrighted. This seems logical. In the first place, the public's inteerst and right in news are paramount. If news could be copy- righed and exclusive control established over it strange things might be made possible. “In the present instance, the corner- ing of the Peary story has served not only te suppress it in considerable measure by limiting the extent of its circulation, but it appears to have aroused considerable hostility toward the explorer himself, who is put in the ungracious position of speculating on the results of his expedition. This & unfair to Peary. It is a bit pathetic, this spectacle of the great explorer, hocking his chances of success with a publisher in order to get money to make the dash whose results have 0 much to hi; and to the —Philadelphia Times, Tired of Marching. no means follows from the non-obseryance of Labor day on Mon- day by a labor parade that the labor cause is losing its strength. At the same time, it is true that the virulence of the attack of the spirit of organ- ization has declined. If the contest were to be forced at the state house ibefore the committee on labor the labor men would show up as strongly as ever. But when it comes to a demonstraticn of their strength by tramping through the streets, the freshness has worn off, just as it has from the St. Patrick's day parade and the members believe that they can render the cause just as much service in a less laborious way for their mus- cles. At first there was a belief that the public would be impressed by the sight: of their large numbers, and there is no doubt that the idea was sound. But familiarity has worn off the first impression. If any parade falls be- low its predecessor in number of men marching, then it can be said that in- terest is declining. On the other hand, to keep above the highwater mark of the preceding vear every year is an almost impossible task. So it is noth- ing against the labor movement that it had no street parade this year.—- ¥rom Boston Letter to Fitchburg Sen- tinel.
