But for two cltizens--eAch a desira-

MowgIi and Kaa and Baloo, not forget
ting White Fang and Wayeeses, are
reading the Jungle Journal every
morning with eagerness to learn
whether President Roosevelt or Preach
or Long Is getting the strange hold.
The declaration OF war was made by
the Rev. William J. Long Of Stamford,
Conn, author of several books CON
corning wild beasts and birds. For
some time 1t has been evident that
Mr.. Roosevelt would make war on

That gives Mr.. Long an opening. He
comes back at the president with a
stlfr counter swipe 10 the effect that
Mr. Roosevelt knows the heart OF the
wild things by putting bullets into
each heart that comes within his rifle
range. Whereupon the preacher quotes
from the presidents books to prove
that this h the presidential method OF
acquiring wild heart lore. and no affl-
davlts are needed
Mr., Roosevelt IN firing his magazine
rife at Mr.. Long intimated, though in
a more digniHed manner, that he was
from Missouri and would have TO be
shown. Mr. Long must produce aflda-
Wits OF eyewitnesses before the presi-
dent could believe such stories.
straightway Mr., Long produced the
affidavit OF an educated Indian, poor
but honest, who, being duly sworn. de-
posed and said that he had seen wolves
kill horses by biting them through the
chest. A horse of course Ia not a carl
bou; but then, it's Just as good. The
preacher dared the president 30 come

But Mr. Long has declared that the
president shall not take refuge behind
the dignity Of his office. "A man named

personal honor, and II he won't aDOao-

Beginning Of An EXCITING War.

Events leading up to this exciting
war should be cited briefly. To 20
away back, II may be stated that from
time immemorial the human race has
regarded itself as superior to the so
called lower animals. including orioles,
wolves and even monkeys. The theory
has been that men are guided by rea.
son, while beasts and birds are con.
holied BY mere instinct A few years
ago several writer's appeared whose
books tended to upset this time hon.
ored theory. They put forth animals
that talked English without the jun.
gle accent, organized governments, as.
tablished schools and In other ways
stealthily usurped human prerogativcs.
This was all right so long as the sto.
rios were admittedly fables. like Rud.
yard Kipllng's Jungle Book" says
Mr.. Roosevelt. but as official spokes-
man for the human race the president
found Il part OF his duty to protest
vigorously when certain writer's stat.

the statements as TO animal lnteIn.

Couldn't swallow the Story.


In a middle western state. where
6ullfrogs are supposed to abound, one
OF Mr.. Longs books was excluded
from the public schools because IL con-
tanned a story OF frog that caught
and swallowed sparrow. The board
couldn't swallow the story, though
there was the preachers own word
for II.
''rhey didn't happen to know" says
Mr.. Long, that frogs sometimes grow
to a length OF sixteen inches. have

By the Stamford naturalist describes

very much afraid of the woods, but
there was always something there
which fascinated me. When l was
missing 1t was in the woods that I

1t is Mr.. Longs custom to take long
trips alone into the big woods Some
times he is accompanied by a guide
and sometimes In late years by his
wife and little daughter. When 1t Ia
necessary to shoot animals for food he
does SO, but not otherwise. One of
the points he makes In his controversy
with the president is that a true nat
uralist never kills for the fun or sport
Of killing. He calls Mr.. Roosevelt
hunter and not a naturalist.
The president asserts that Mr., Long,
judging from his animal stories, has
not seen the wild things at all or has
seen them only specifically. Mr.. Long
makes the claim that a man can see

into the woods and watches the wild
things quietly than when he goes
mounted and armed, with a pack Of
dogs, to seek and slay. He therefore
sets up his thirty seasons In the big
woods and vast wildernesses of Maine
and the northern provinces and In the
famous Black forests against the pres
dents elk shooting expeditions in Da-
kota, his mountain lion stalking in Col.
cFado and his bear batting in the Mis-
slssippi canebrakes, Having offered
these opposing exhibits, Mr.. Long asks
the public to decide who's who'' In
the big woods.
The president finds fault with the
preacher because in one OF the latter's
books there is a statement that once
big lynx made him uncomfortable"
by following him for long distance
in the northern woods when he was
unaFmed. A lynx, says the president,
Is no more to be feared than a back
yard tomcat, or words to that effect.
Thereupon the party Of the other part
asks Mr.. Roosevelt If he ever saw one
OF the really truly big lynxes In the
Canadian forests, and in recalling the
lynx that made him uncomfortable he
adds:
II realized that had the only pair

temperature was several degrees be-

a few years ago Mr.. Burroughs accom-
panied the president on long tour of
the Yellowstone park. Perhaps the

where around the spouting hot gey-

Now the president has renewed the
fight from headquarters. Some Of Mr..
Longs books, 1t appears, have been
adopted as supplementary readers in
public schools. The president also has
written nature books, Of a kind, but
these have not been adopted as school
readers, probably because the young
idea learns how to shoot too early any

Roosevelt is highly indignant that
American school children should be

he declares, is a mathematical impos-
sibility. The president argues, there

Business men are constantly being pestered by young men who seek posi- lions through letters of recommenda- ton. often in tine form of personal re- quests from fellow business men.
