Firmly convinced that he has

Prof. R. L. Garner has arrived at

big iron cage, in which he had inn
prisoned himself in the jungles, and
thousands of photograph records,
loaded with the dialogues of the
"Banderlog." Besides studying the
speech of the monkeys, Prof. Garner
had an opportunity to study the hab-
it's and actions of lions, panthers,
deer, zebra, giraffes and other At
rican big game in their native wilds.
He took hundreds of photographs.
Eyes, the monkeys are very inter-
esting folk" said Prof. Garner, ''but
l must confess that after time
their society becomes monotonous,
and [ am very glad indeed to be
again in America to mingle with the
more exciting whirl here I have no
doubt now that the monkeys converse
with each other in a language of
their own. This language is difficult

Prof. Garner, whose home is in
Roanoke, Va, has been in Africa
since July, 1900, most of the time
alone, far in the interior, where a
white man never before visited. This
visit to Africa was his second for the
purpose of observation.

The Human Animal.

A New Workman who was out hunt

is wonderful, says the Chicago Rec

the human form looks like to man

TWICE now has the proposition to
increase the amount of loans from
the permanent school fund from
seven to fifteen per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the real property
OF school districts and municipai-
ties in this state, failed to pass
owing to the neglect Of the voters to
mark their ballots on constitutional
amendments. Had it been possible
to leave this question to the legisla-
ture, it would have been decided
long ago. All of which makes us
skeptical as to the advisability of
leaving some things to the people.
An intelligent and representative
body OF men, as is usually found in
a state legislature, can better be
trusted to promote and protect the
rights and interests of the public than
the people acting as body can and
will. That is the way it looks.
Where everybody is given the ballot
regardless of educational qualifca-
lions and property interests, there
must always be large proportion
of voters who care little or nothing
for weighty public questions.
The failure of the gross earnings tax
is another instance. The legislature
that would have refused to pass a
law in it's favor would have been
condemned by the people, yet the
people themselves do not take even
sufficient interest in the matter to
record their vote one way or the
other. The primary election law
was passed for the purpose of Civ
ing the people more power in MAX
ing nominations for public office,
yet a very large proportion we're
not sufficiently interested to go to
the polls. And it is question
whether the voice Of the people was
heard more plainly in this way than
under the old system, or any better
officials selected. The initiative
and referendum, that has been advo-
Gated in some quarters, we fear
would fare no better. Until the
people are willing to take more of a
hand themselves, their foremost
duty is to choose good, honest and
able men to serve them in a repre-
sentative capacity. But there is no
cause to despair. When the people
get Thoroughly aroused on any
subject they will doubtless make
themselves heard. Large masses
move slowly, and time is required
for the people to become permeated
with enthusiasm upon anv question.
