COOK AND ROOSEVELT.
The two explorers filling the public eye today are Dr. F. A. Cook and
Theodore Roosevelt.
That Mr. Roosevelt has daring and courage of a high order no one
can deny.
The ex-president plunged into the jungles of Africa with the grace
and straightforwardness of one who knew no fear.
There must be in Mr. Roosevelt a veritable storm of enthusiasm to
move him out from home and friends to live for a considerable time among
the wild beasts of the wilderness of A^ica.
The marked difference between Mr. Roosevelt and Dr. Cook is, Mr.
Roosevelt is trying to destroy life while Dr. Cook is seeking to produce
it.
Like Columbus who gave America to be the home of a prosperous ana
happy people Dr. Cook has discovered hitherto an unknown country which
some day will serve some purpose in the ongo of civilization.
That is better and more in keeping with the American spirit of devel
opment and progress than taking the deadly bead on an innocent annua,
with a rifle.
What consolation can Mr. Roose'rb get out of the dying groans of
the wild beast as it lies quivering in its life-blood in its jungle home?
If Mr. Roosevelt would make a discovery that would make life broau
cr and happier and cease striving aft< r the gratification of a strange af¬
fection of his own iu the death of helph ss animals of the forests, he might,
boast of a worthy achievement and p - nve his services of real benefit to
the people.
We need more men like Dr. Cook v/no with silent determination face
a problem until its perpelxities vanish t.nd the world is made richer by it.
HAVOC OF JEALOUSY.
k
That the north pole should be the occasion of so much heat now
flaming in the newspapers is rather paradoxical.
But it is a law of nature that friction will germinate heat every
v. here.
There is evidently great friction iu settling the vexed question as tc
who discovered the north pole first.
Ii is hardly thinkable that as brave men as Cook and Peary have
proved themselves to be could be in the end so pusillanimous as to roc
one another of any glory that might be theirs individually.
If the partisans of the explorers would cease idle talking Cook am
Pttry would remain friends and share the glory of the new discover.
with brotherly joy.
Suppose Cook did make the dash with a little more vigor than Pear-,
-nd was“the first to plant the stars and stripes at the pole, does the fac.
that Peary came up a few hours later detract from his adventure and he
ioic suffering to reach the utmost limit of the ice region.
Priority is an incident only and not deserving of so much notice giv
en it.
Cook's applause so freely given Peary when news flashed the worlu
over that he also had discovered the north pole was manly and evident
]y came from the consciousness of fellow suffering.
Dr. Cook knew by experience that Peary was a hero and deserved
honor if he had reached the pole ar.d he did not doubt it.
To stand at the north pole is enough glory for one man W’liether
first or second to obtain the goal.
Let priority play no part in this serious affair and give honor to the
man who has stood on the north pole whether first or seco nd or ever.
Jealousy plays havoc. _-_
POLITICAL SITUATION IN MACON.
The twm political factions headed by Judge A. L. Miller and John T.
Moore candidates for mayor are closing in for a final battle which gives
prophecy of being one of the liveliest political tilts Macon has enjoyed
for sometime.
This is the second time these two chieftains have met in contest for
■'he highest office in the gift of the city and more than ambition to be
mayor of Macon plays a part in the present struggle.
It is Moore against Miller and Miller against Moore.
The line of cleavage is sharply drawn and the city is lining up on
one side or the other.
To outsider it looks like a battle of factions, the old order with
an
its effete and immoral systems and ways in deadly contrast against the
new order of reform and morality.
Mr. Moore has not so announced but it is generally known that such as
favor the sale of liquor in Macon also favor Mr. Moore for mayor, while
the Miller contingency are out and out prohibitionists.
That is at least significant as indicating where the line of division
falls.
As to the two men much might possibly be said of their respective
virtues but if intellectual training counts for anything in the government
of a city Judge Miller has the “go” on Moore..
Judge Miller Macon’s present mayor is one of the best lawyers in
the state and it is due to that fact a £ well as to other qualifications
that Macon for the past two years has wended her way through an en
v anglement of debt and governmental disorder to a position of freedom
and good credit.
The facts of the Miller administration are hard blows on the Moore
opposition.
What will the people of Macon do?
Will they roll back the w r heel of progress and live again in twilight
and darkness or move forward with her needed reform to the better day?
Macon is the prettiest city in Ceorgia and we trust her politics will
take on that hue.
