If Dr. Cook has reached the Pole, a year earlier than Peary, as most Arctic explorers believe, then the seeming endorsement and the pension of the Naval officer is an injustice to Dr. Cook and an imposition on the public; if both have reached the Pole then there should be a suitable recognition and reward extended to each.
"My Attainment of the Pole"
Frederick A. Cook
He asked for the endorsement of this senator and received this advice: Young man, my signature to this sheet would get you the job, but if you were my son I would not let you take the place.
"Dollars and Sense"
Col. Wm. C. Hunter
What a charming endorsement!
"Corpus of a Siam Mosquito"
