Innocent Babies Are Given No Chance i

.Portland, Or., September 3. To the Editor of The Journal
Am but a short time out from Minnesota, and am amazed that one
newspaper should have to wage, tingle handed, such a fight as you
are sustaining:-against ignorance as represented in Oregon's dairy
. and food commissioner. I can picture EVERY newspaper in Min
nesota, in a like case, putting its shoulder to the wheel for pure milk.
We of mature age turn naturally from filthy food or drink, but
" the poor, innocent babies have no choice but to drink what is given
them, and I should think that any one, except a bigoted fool, knowing
such milk was being sold, and being clothed- with authority by the
people who pay his salary, could have seen his plain duty.
H'as not the governor of this state the power to remove such
incompetents? Or have-the people of the state to wait until they
can get a crack at Mr. Bailey with their ballots at the polls? Some
places they wouldn't wait-only long enough to get the tar and
feathers. The Oregonian we don't mind. We don't have to read it.
It's like Benj. Binn's ghost: "Couldn't do any harm if it would."
Thanking you for your efforts on behalf of the babies.
. "A FATHER OF" SIX OF THEM."

In addition Dr. Rockey said:
Should Be Permanent
"The cltv board of health must make
this a permanent part of their work.
When Hercules cleaned the Augean
stables his act was considered so stu
pendous and commendable !)at It has
come down to us through thousands of
years of history. No less commendable
is the work now being done toward pro
viding us with wholesome milk. Hoeck
el's law that the development of the
individual furnishes the type, of the de
velopment of the soecles has no better
Illustration than the use of milk by
the great human family. Before the
dawn nf history when Jacob led the
herds of Lahan to water over the striped
alder branches in the valley of Canaan
to the present time milk- has furnished
us our most important single article
of food and the millions of the earth
all began life on a milk diet.
"In primatlve life and In the eounrry
the famllv may have Its own cow and
by . individual attention secure abso
lutely pure milk. The conditions of
city life prevent this and make us de
pendent on others for our supply.
Purity is an essential tenet of hlrhlr
itieais. ine laeai or some milt venders
Is often, unfortunately, no hjgher than
mai or gain.

Copenhagen, Sept. 6. In an Inter
view granted today to a number of cor
respondents representing the foremost
news agencies and newspapers of Eu
rope and America, Dr. Frederick A.
Cook, pinned down by the merciless,
searching questions of William T.
Stead, the veteran British journalist
and dean and spokesman of the cor
respondents- corps, admitted that un
less his astronomical observations and
the corroborative evidence of his two
Eskimo companions is accepted as
such, he has no positive proof of hi
I right to the title of discoverer of the
north pole.
So frank, straightforward snd con
vincing were me answers or tne daunt
less scientist that at the end of an
hour's cruel grilling, he had satisfied
virtually everjj man present at the in
terview of the truth of his assertions
that he planted the staro and stripes
on the long coveted northern goal on
April 21, 1908.
Wearied Man Put to OrdesX
Dr. Cook's statement this afternoon,
the first detailed account he had made
of the achievement which has startled
the world, was a graphic recital, made
under the most time! and unfavorable
circumstances'. - .
After a day strenuous enough to tlr
a RoosevtJt distressing enough-to
wear tne piiy-n( ; or a.- Job, lr. t'ooa,
In the a'-'. ns j ;ojrfek,'Ing skepticisms

stowed, was called npoft to clear "away
an international influiity wnicn
seemingly barred his entrance to the
hall -of fame,-, ,
He succeeded In the effort "'
ZTanknesa Wins All Heaters,
Calm and. imnerturbabl. . though
wincing under the crueltyv'bf thrusts
which even , the . tactf ulnesa of Stead
could not mitigate. Dr. Cook, modestly
and with e4igntrui unassumption, met
everyV4iiluiry with a directness and
frankness that quickly won all-his
hearers.
At the conclusion of the Interview he
was congratulated on all sides and
everywhere were, heard favorable com
ments, on his - modesty and sincerity
and the belle was expressed that the
scientific world's .verdict would be that
he had won the prize sought for cen
tttrtes.
' Xntrlnslo Evidence Relied on.
"I realize, gentlemen." said Dr. Cook,
in addressing the newspapermen, "that
despite the fact that I have nothing to
gain from misrepresentations of actual
facts, and on trio other band have
everything to lose, the nature of my
accomplishment of April 21. 1908, when
I planted tne American nag to the spot
at latitude 90 degrees north, calls for
proof to the scientific world. I un
derstand that in a case of this sort
my reputation and my ,past count for
naught, but l believe that in a careful
ly prepared diary which I kept and In
the painstakingly accurate astronomi
cal observations which I made, will be
found, the proof demanded by the world.
Corroborating this will be the evidence
of two brave and uncomplaining com
panions of my trip, the Eskimos,
Etukishuk and Ahweluh, whose names
were previously misspelled.
"My story of the trip north and the
return, as published In the New Tork
Herald on Thursday, September 2, was
absolutely as I wrote It while in the
north, with the possible exception of
the temperatures encountered. I have
seen various figures in the clippings
handed me nere and do not Know Just
what ones were published In America.
Undertaking- Strictly Scientific
"I am told that my trip to the pole
has been branded as unsclentiric and
unpremeditated, a mere sportsmanlike
event While I plead guilty to a cer
tain amount of the spirit of the sports
man, I am not willing tOxadmlt that
my expedition was unscientific. It Is
true that I did not have the elaborate
paraphernalia or all of the Instruments
that I would have desired had It been

Wlth more than 5000 people entering

and North Bank depots, the railroads
running put of the city are literally un
able to handle the crowds, and yester

ooaehes and baggage cars all are In
demand. Frantic telegrams sent east by

General Passenger Agent A. D. Charl
ton of the Northern Pacific have re-
suited in getting every old passenger '

land, but still the roads find difficulty
in accommodating the travel. - '
Train No. 19, the Portland-Ashland
passenger train due to leave here at
8:16. yesterday morning, hadn't a pas
senger coach to tie itself 'to when leav
ing time came. There wasn't such a
thing as a passenger car in reach of tha
Harriman yards and nothing could be
done until trains from the south brought
h'nnurh7 coaches -td-outfit the Ash
land train with cars. - it .waa delayed in
leaving here until 11:15 yesterday morn-
While ordinary passengers - are hav
ing trouble getting any sort of seats
would-be Pullman passengers are in as
bad a fix. To secure a berth or a par
lor car seat going in any direction out
of Portland is a feat that requires pa
tience, money, nerve and good temper,
together with the faculty of meeting
disappointment stoically.
Even "friends of the management"
are suffering these days, and a request
for accommodations from even so potent
a factor as J.' C. Stubbs had to be
turned down by the Harriman offices
yesterday. A telegram was received
from Seattle, asking for a drawing room
for a party going south last night and
another was received from Mr. Stubbs .
requesting that the accommodations be
furnished. There were none to give,
however, and a wire was sent to Seat
tle saying that no drawing rooms were
left but two upper berths could be fur
nished. Quick as a flash back came
the reply saying "You can keep your,
uppers for your A.-Y.-P. tourists. Give
me two reservations on the trucks." .
The rush is getting on the nerves of
everyone from general passenger agent
down to ticket clerks. The railroad
men are looking forward to the coming
of fall with impatience.
