It is quite possible that Dr. Fred? erick A. Cook, the Arctic explorer, having never been near the Pole, and having too little knowledge of math? ematics and navigation to enable him to concoct data that would convince Cie scientific world of the accuracy of his disputed claim,' hired an ex? pert to aid him in imposing upon the learned professors of the University ? of Copenhagen. But all things that arc possible are not necessarily prob? able. If we are to leave out of consider? ation the fact that Dr. Cook has pow? erful enemies who have left no stone unturned to discredit him, and the I further fact that by their own con? fession the authors of the newly published affidavits against Cook are deceivers and impostors, and if we are to accept the affidavit at their face value, we must believe: 1. That notwithstanding his knoweldege that he was dogged by detectives and surrounded by pit? falls, Dr. Cook was fool enough to accept tbe services of two volunteer assistant charlatans, instead of seek? ing out for himself tools fit for his purpose upon whose fidelity and se? crecy he could rely. 2. That he was fool enough to ac? cept the word of one of these volun? teers that the other was thorough? ly trustworthy. 3. That after they had obtained a hold upon him by "faking" observa? tions for him, he was fool enough to dodge the payment of tbe bulk of the money he had promised them, and thus certainly incur their enmi? ty. It is possible, but not probable, that despite his previous experiences as an explorer both In Alaska and In the polar seas he is, as one of the affiants declares, pitiably deficient In the information most essential to his calling, and without which he could hardly have found his way to and from the points he is conceded to have reached. It is possible, but not probable, that without having seen Peary's narrative?which he could not have seen in advance of the pub? lication of his own?he could have Invented a story of hitherto un? known polar conditions which tallies with marvelous accuracy with the facts as Peary cites them. At any rate, it is evident at this stage of the polar controversy that Dr. Cook is either the greatest and at the same time the stupidest charlatan who ever attempted to impose upon j a sceptical world or he Is the victim j of the most malignant and devishly -enlous persecution that hatred 1 en\y could devise. It ought not u be too much of a strain upon his defenders and his defamers to sus? pend final judgment for a week or so more, at th expiration of which time the Unievrsity of Copenhagen ought to be able to definitely announce the terms in which the name of Dr. Frederick A. Cook shall be written in history. If Bailey of Texas were as big a man in pr^ortion to the State he represents as Aldrich of Rhode Is? land, what a power he would be.? Anderson Mall.
