THE "1ANGUAGE' OF ANIMALS.

Huxley thought that because of the
absence OF language the, brutes can
have no trains Of thoughts but only
trains of feeling, and this is the opin-
ion of most comparative psychologists
I am myself quite ready to admit that
the lower animals come as near to
reasoning as they come to having a.
language. Their various cries and
calls--the call to the mate, to the
young, the cry Of anger, Of fear, of
alarm, Of pain, of joy--do serve as the
medium of some sort of communica-
ton, but they do not stand for ideas
or mental concepts any more than the
various cries of a child do They are
the result of simple reactions to out
ward objects or to inward wants, and
do not imply any mental process
whatever A grown person may utter
a cry Of pain or fear or pleasure with
a mind utterly blank of any ideas.
Once on a moonlight night flay in
wait for some boy poachers in my
vineyard AS suddenly rose up,
clad in long black cloak, and rush

was fastening over the fence, he ut

One OF The Object lessons
The Presidents Federal
Regulation Notion
Reviewed.
HOW IT WORKS
in THE BANKS
And How 1t Would Be
Likely to Work in
Business.
To Editor Journal and Courier:

AZ GulloF journal and Courier:
PRESIDENT Roosevelt speaking for
himself, and not as yet for the Repub-
hcan party still insists upon it that
congress shall at once pass such laws
as will bring all large business en-
gagged in interstate commerce, under
FEDERAL regulation, control and re-
straint. He is very indefinite as to
the largeness of the business. But he
defines the measure Of the regulation,
control and restraint, to be that which
now measures the relation of the fed
eral government to national banks.
The bill drawn by Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota, and printed by
the official printer, is announced in
inspired Associated Press dispatches
to have been submitted to Mr.. Roose-
yelt and to have received his tentative
approval.
1t provides for federal inspection Of
the books and papers at any and all
times; for cash valuation each year
of assets; if less than the par of the
capital stock, unless the deficit be
made up, but there can be no new is
sue of stock or bonds, except with the
approval Of the federal commission
who must also approve the original
issue Of stock or bonds for a new cor
poration for a full annual report to
the federal commission of the condi-
ton Of the company.
Noncompliance with the order Of
the commission puts the company out
of business. 1t is said in these in
spired Associated Press dispatches,
that the business men of the country
will take to these proposed federal
regulations very kindly, and with con-
siderable enthusiasm. Maybe so. But
I call attention to the want of sue
cess which has attended the control
of national banks by the United States.
1t is the normal function of banks to
issue bank note currency BY tax
of ten per cent. on circulation of
State banks, the United States has put
out of sight the possibility Of State
bank note currency.
BY a long continued coarse Of legis-
lation and regulations the United
States has brought it about, that our
bank note currency is rigid, inelastic
and not responsive TO the business of
the country. No other nation has
any such system of currency, and no
other nation has any such spasms of
rs, so, rs, 100 per cent. money, as
we have had for two generations. Nor
has there been any such currency
famines in Canada, France, Ger
many, England, as have frequently
ravaged the business interests of this
country.
The panics OF 1873 and 1898, and
the frequent severe depressions in
business, have called the attention of
congress to the confessed rigidity and
want Of responsive usefulness in our
currency. This is no trivial matter.
Il 1t goes to the very roots of the ques-
& ton. The essential idea Of bank
. note currency-what called it into be-
s. ing--is that it should be responsive to
= the demands of business. Indeed
business to-day is making and using
without authority of law, an

DoN,r REpREss THr CUBAN.
His Emotionalism His Safety Valve
Writes Col. Billiard.

A remarkable strength and exuber-
ance of feeling go with the Cuban's
blood. His language alone, his tongue,
Is all inadequate to express his feel
ings. He talks with arms, hands face
and shoulders-with ali his body. All
passion Is excessive, swelling, bound
less. Perhaps 1t is the climate; one
cannot say. Yet writes Col. r. l..
Billiard in the North American Re-
view, the self-contained American is
at once the envy and the despair of
Cubans. They are, and they know
| it without being able to amend It.
over-emotionable and over excitable.
The common cry Of the newsboy
makes every issue thrilling extra
and you buy 1t to find-nothing. Wild
cries startle you In the streets. With
heart in your throat and expecting a
scene of horror, an accident or fear
full runaway. you turn to find a driver
hating in perfect control a sleepy
mule, that looks as if he had never
been guilty Of quick movement In
all his life. Hysterical public justice
to-day imposes upon crime severe
punishment, none of which an equally
hysterical public sympathy will to-
morrow permit to be executed.
1t is a nation Of vehement emotion,
Of vehement lovers, haters, actors and
orators. If repressed, If obliged to
contain themselves even little they
explode. Right here, remembering
the force and repression that every
where characterize governments Of
Roman-Spanish derivation, we find
explanation, in large part, of Cuban
revolutions in the past
That government alone can succeed
with them that can provide, and with
strength and equanimity allow, the
daily use of a vent of their feelings.
Let them storm, let them rant, let
them rave; it is the safety valve

Many former coffee drinkers who

tells few stories to Mr. Littleton's
many, but every winter he brings one
or two new ones that make instant

Stein Bailey yesterday at the Foy au-
ditorium. Nor did anybody mind hav-
ing braved the elements, for the con-
cert was in every way delightful The
selection of songs for this recital was
particularly happy one. Most of them
were familiar to all and the singer was
in excellent voice and mood in each
Mrs. Stein Bailey has very pleasing
personality, great necessity for re-
citalist's success.
Sweetest of all the program was a
group of three songs by Grieg. Per-
haps the song, II Love Thee" lost a
bit Of it's charm by being sung in Eng
lish, but it was lovely even SO.
One of the best numbers was the
"Traume" of Wagner, for the singer
gave herself entire freedom of action
and voice and the tones were full and
splendid.
The "Schlummerlied' Of Schubert
was also gem.

panied, was, most exquisite player
Her sympathy made itself felt all the
time as just the necessary finish to the
