A Grave Responsibility.

1--WE have a grave responsibility resting
upon us. and that is to keep pure the cur
rents OF American patriotism. We must
not only educate our own youth in the
principles, purposes and responsibilities OF
American free government. but also the
vast numbers who are daily seeking our
shores from foreign lands. The human
currents from abroad are increasing year
by year. More than one million people en-
tered our ports last year to make their
habitations and homes In America. More
than q million will be aided to our popu-
lation from the sama- Source this year.
Many Of these. people come with a very
inadequate idea Of what liberty here means:
with no conception OF our policies and the
duties which rest upon our citizenship.
They are eager to be useful citizens. to be
Americans In the best sense. for they
come with an instructive respect and love
for the flag Of the country of their adop-
ten. They are. indeed. strangers in
strange land. but they are strangers in a
land which has always had q generous
hospitality for those born beneath alien
skies. who have in them the elements es-
sential for the making of worthy American
citizens. These people must be educated

Naturalists have long been puzzled
as to how birds learn TO sing. Docs lt
come natural to a bird OF a certain
species TO sing the song common to its
kind or does it learn 10 initiate what
ever song it most hears during the
early days of its life? Experiments
made by a well known student of bird
life proved that most birds simply learn
by imitation lie placed young linnets
to be reared by skylarks. WOODLANDS,
titlarks and other breeds. and in every
case the linnet learned the song Of his
foster parents. Again. a number of lin.
nets were reared where they had no
chance Of hearing the song Of any
bird at all. In due course they began
to sing. but their song was entirely
original. The cuckoo, however. seems
to be an exception, for although it is
almost invariably reared by foster
parents Of any species but its own.
1t always sings to perfection its own
peculiar song, quite uninfuenced by
the vocal efforts of Its guardians.

of the session the question of an in
dorsement of county option in temper
ance legislation was under discussion,
an attempt by W. L. Finley to amend
the platform and give such an indorse-
ment being defeated on a roll call
The discussion developed opposition
to the general idea Of county option,
while some delegates insisted that in
having approved unqualifiedly Gov
ernor Pattison's policies" the platform
already was strong enough on the very
point for which Finley contended.
Aside from these features the defeat
of Mayor Tom l.. Johnson in the state
central committee was the subject of
comment.
The platform strongly indorses Bry-
an for president; favors the initiative
and referendum; the submission of
questions of franchise and public own
ership to the people and rigid inspec-
ton of private banks.

heavy roll of the ship sent one Of the
keepers against an adjoining cage. A
young lion which II contained made
vicious stroke with his paw, ripping away
the trousers of the keeper and badly LAGER
ated the flesh
About the same time another keeper was
thrown against another line cage and the
beast reached out its paw, pinned the
keeper by the shoulder and would have
torn away the flesh had not another keeper
broken the clutch with an iron bar.
Meanwhile the roars Of the lions, Of
which there were eighty in all on board,
had started a chorus Of trumpeting, growls
and cries from the other imprisoned beasts.
One of the twenty-five pumas broke the
fastenings of its cage and attacked an ele-
plant with the result that has been told.
A Russian wolf got free from its cage and
dashed up the open hatchway, overturn-
ing two keepers, who were trying to de-
scend. These picked themselves up and
essayed pursuit. Up and down the decks
raced fugitives and pursuers until hnaily
the wolf leaped over the side.
Further aft, where the forty-five bears
Of the consignment were quartered. came
the noise OF another row. One hyena, for
which no space could be found below, had

and fretted at its bars until the fastenings
gave way, and the first use the repulsive
animal made Of it's freedom was to snap
at the heels of a Polar bear. The bear
reached out it's paw and with one stroke
stripped nearly half of the hide from its
adversary.
In number and variety this consignment
is by far the biggest ever placed on ship

the menagerie is Menelk, an Abyssinian
lion, said 10 be the biggest of its kind in

sinister renown all on board are glad that
he was maintained in captivity during the

their way to freedom.
