TALKS TO MONKEYS.


Processes Garner Holds Daily Con-
verse With Them In Jungle.
That Professor Garner Ia still insist
spt In his belief that animals converse
with each other was learned In Balti-
more recently when his son, Harry E..
Garner, received q letter from the pro-
fessor, who Is buried In the tungles Of
Africa. Garner has been laughed at
ever since he built q cage and talked
with or pretended to talk with mon
keys In the African forests.
In order to develop his theory that
monkeys talk like human beings the
professor has built a house about $50
miles inland from the port of Fernan-
Wax, In the French Kongo, says the
New York Press. He is the only white
man within many miles OF the spot.
He is d great favorite with the ma
tives, who call him ''God of the Gun"
In the letter just received the profess
or writes Interestingly Of his life In
the jungle.
Il recently lost the dearest little girl
monkey that ever saw" he wrote.

when she was about two days old and
reared her by hand. She was very
arectionate, and never left me for q
minute when she could avoid 1t.
II learned more of the speech Of
monkeys from Dinkie than ever
learned from any other specimen.

In my jungle you can hear some voices
without going into the jungle. l have
stood here at my door perhaps a hun

gees and monkeys In the bush and had
them answer me as often. Not an hour
Of the day passes that I fail to hear
them talking In the forest as / sit

last eighteen months, because there
are NO good plains near by, and hunt

quotations from the letter:
bad health Ia a misfortune; bad
luck is a misnomer. The latter ls the
apologize name of indifference or ina
btIity.
''The man who tries to do things toe
big for him fails. He calls 1t bad luck,
whereas 1t Ia only bad management.

q poor philosopher

The fight down In Yankton county
seems to be caused by the republicans,
showing determination to retain the
organization and the offices, instead of
turning the whole thing over to the
pops and democrats. These pops and
democrats, posing as progressive re-
publicans," are making considerable
noise about the machine" republicans
and trying to kick upa dust which will
obscure the view while they slide into
the offices, not for the purpose of serv-
ing the people, but themselves. The
republicans OF the state, be they Craw :
ford men or Kittredge men, should re-
tain the party organization and patron
age, and not turn 1t over to crowd
which will be for Bryan toa man in two
years.-BrookiggS Press.

one of the children can do 1t just as
well IL the ingredients are measured

baking day, though it comes Oftener
than it used to, by reason of the fact
that the lovely bread we have gets

YANKTON COUNTY republicans are
entitled to the gratitude OF every true
republican throughout the state for not
being stampeded by the "'fraid cat" cry
which was so noisily used by certain in
surgents in that county against John
Holman. Mr.. Holman will now be re.
turned to the legislature and be given
every opportunity to show whether or
not the CoURIER's prophecy is true
that he will warmly support the new
primary law which the republican ma
jority in the legislature will probably
work out in response to the plank in the
republican platform favoring such a
law.

The friends of Senator Kittredge
had things all their own way at the
primaries in Minnehaha county Tues
day, reversing the vote Of last summer.
This does not mean the defeat of Sena-
tor Gamble in Minnehaha county, any
more than the vote last May meant
the retirement of Senator Ktttredge.
1t means the retirement ofNye Phillips
for sheriff, G. E. Holmes for the house,
both of whom were strongly opposed to
Senator Kittredge and the election of
legislative ticket favorable to the
latter. Undoubtedly the Minnehaha
members of the legislature will vote for
Senator Gamble and the republican
primary law. Senator Kittredge is
far from dead one and will be for
midable candidate for reelection when
the proper time comes.

Corn Growers convention.

At the solicitation OF numerous corn
growers in different parts OF the state,
| have concluded to call meeting at
Mitchell, S. D., on September 28th, At
o'clock =. M, for the purpose of
organizing an annual corn show and
corn growers convention for the State
OF South Dakota. All growers OF corn
are cordially invited to be present aud
assist In the organization Of an associa-
tion, which, believe, will do more
good to the state than any other organ
ization that could be formed at this
time. The details of the organization
and the corn show will be worked out
by those present.
The Commercial Club OF Mitchell
has agreed to put uu, in cups and cash,
$500. 90 annually for three years, TO be
competed for at the show to be held by
the association. In addition to this
we expect TO be able to procure large
number OF premiums in the way OF corn
implements from manufacturers, and 10
present premium list, which list is
not excetied by any other state In the
Union,
There is no doubt but what South
Dakota Is father behind her possibilities
in the production OF corn than along
any other line and we hope by the or.
ganization OF this association to create
more interest in this line OF South
Dakota farming.
The date selected for the meeting is
during the Corn Palace week, when
there will he very cheap excursion
rates from all points and special trains

The government crop report issued
Sept. /, gave the condition of corn as
sO.3 per cent, as compared with 595 a
year ago at the same dates and 81 q
ten-year average. The corn prospect
has improved since this bulletin was
issued. Spring wheat wac reported at
So 4, against s6.9 q month ago and s7.3

have tendency, especially in this

The Hawaiian Japanese Daily
Chronicle under the date of August 8
has the following editorial under the
heading of "Nipponese Rights Should
Be Protected:
Nippon has her first experiment in
the emigration to Hawaii and North
America. Therefore, while there are
many people leaving for Korea and
Manchuria, there will be certainly
more and more to go to the Pacific
coast.
It is a very important subject for
our Government to consider, how to
deal with this properly, as one of the
questions to be met with after the
war. Yet, the people of Nippon are
now inflated with their reputation of
victories gained in the wars, and mis-
led by those adulating words given by
foreign visitors, believe that their sub
jects abroad are respected and well
coined everywhere as honorable race.
However, in Hawaii and in America
as well as the other countries this, so
called honorable race, are treated i'm a
most disagreeable and unpleasant man.
ner; receiving all kinds of insolence
and contempt the same as the lowest
class of people like the inferior Dagos
and the greedy Jews
Was there not a man burnt to death
by pouring oil over his body and set
ting fire thereto?
Was there not school children object
ed to in the public school on account
of race?
Were no physicians refused a license
to practice medicine in the Territory
because they could not speak English?
Were there not saloon keepers who
could not obtain a license, because
some voters made kicks being paid to
do so.
Were there not contractors prevent
ed from bidding on public construction
or to work on them, because they were
not citizens?
Were there not Buddhists who desir-
ed a charter for religious worship, and
had it refused by a narrow minded
and bigoted officer who took it upon
himself to think it was a patriotic or
ganization more than a religious one,
in this free country where the people
are allowed free speech, free press,
and free worship?
Is there not bill being devised now,

among the white liquor dealers and
hypocrits, who desire to plumber the
right to sell booze from the Nipponese
to be introduced in the coming Legis-
lature?
If we keep on like this, there will be
no end and soon everything will per-
tain to the white race only, and it may
some day restrict all the industries in
the Territory to American citizens on
ly.
Then what will our interests in Ha-
wall be? What benefits will Nippon
have in sending her people here to as
sist in the welfare of the island terri
tory? 1t is just as well to shut up
the country to the Nipponese if they
are afraid to allow this friendly ma
ton to have a little chance for maxi
ing money
More oppression and more insults,
when it reaches the utmost point there
will be a collision between the two
races, and it may lead to a disturbance
of the peace of both nations.
We believe that it is very important
for our government to follow the
example of Great Britain and United
States of America, to dispatch her
war vessels to the foreign ports where
most of her subjects reside, and pro-
tect any rights and interests which
they already have by conditions of
treaty Especially to the countries like
Hawaii where the white people treat
the Nipponese with insolence, and
where this is getting worse every day,
the government should keep a war
vessel here continually; so it may at
tract the attention of these ignorant,
discourteous and impolite people of
Hawaii.
If we ever have such a misfortune as
to have difficulties with Uncle Sam
the Hawaiian Territory will be sure
the fuse that causes it. To compare
our interests and friendly relation with
Hawaii to those of the mainland is not
necessary. We would rather lose Ha-
wall than lose anything from the main
land or cause ill-feelmg with our good
neighbor.
The world is still large enough. Be
sides Hawaii there is much more room
for the superhuous population of Nip
pom. If our government should stop
the passports into Hawaii under penal
ty of a severe punishment, for a year
there would be no more Nipponese on
the islands in a short time, and nc
more bothering those falsely patriotic
people of Hawaii who are so fearful
that the Nipponese might take theii

country from them as they did from
he kanaka.
We ask our government to keep a
war vessel here constantly in order to
.evade all disturbances. If not, then
we wish the government to decide at
once to grant no more passports for
Hawaii i'm order to keep our race from
the islands where we can not insure
our rights, and guarantee our inter-
ests We can not afford to lose the
friendship Of the father Of our civili-
cation on account of Hawaii
We know that the Hawaiian will
never love us, they keep us here be-
cause they can not get any other race.
As soon as they find any suitable set
tiers for Hawaii, they will drive us
out. 1t is about time to pack our
trunks and get ready to desert the
islands to escape future misunder-
standing with our best friend, Uucle
Sam.
