D. LONG CLAIMS MEN ARE
MORE SAVAGE THAN BEASTS

New York, March 2.-Dr, William
J. Long, characterized as the original
Mature Faker" by President Roose-
welt, says that men are more savage
than beasts He also absolves the
wolf OF the charge OF ferocity. Speak
ing before he graduates OF Drew The
illogical seminary here yesterday, DR..
Long said:
Il have stGdied wolves for years and
contrary TO popular belief | never
found a case where a human being
was harmed by one. ] am talking or
the North American wolf. There is
another foolish notion that It Is the
biggest and ugliest brute of the pack
who is leader. That's untrue. It's
always the mother who is leader, and
her word goes. Animals are far less
savage than men, They do not strug-
gle with one another for food. There
Is no survival OF the fttest among
them. Unlike man, when he has a
corner on food, he does not exact
his last dollar of tribute. He shares
unselfishly with his fellow creatures"

DEFENSE is THAT HE WAS TOO
FAT TO ROB MAN IN ALLEY

Ossining. n. Y, March 2.-William
Green. who gained considerable not
oriety by his novel plea that he was
too fat to rob man In an alley, IN
which 1t was alleged that the crime
was committed, added another feature
to his eccentric defense yesterday
when arraigned for sentence. He sub
mitted petition signed by ninety wo-
men Of this place. which read as fol-
lows:

The Smoking Locomotive.

The electrification of steam railroads
for suburban traffic has been entered
upon by a number of lines In and near
great cities. and is under consideration
by many more lines. There are reasons.
The advantage OF electric power for long
hauls is advocated by many authorities
and the advantages OF this power for
short distances with frequent stops are
contested by no one. Steam roads are
feeling in their suburban traffic the in
creasing competition of the all-electric
lines. Suburban trafic yearly becomes
more important. for an ever-growing num-
Der of city workers are maintaining
homes In the country where land la
cheaper. lots larger. air fresher and the
neighborhood feeling stronger than In
town. II was the electric line that
opened up the country to the man who
earns his bread In the crowded city.
There il another matter related to the
electrifcation OF steam lines. II is the
electrifcation OF terminals. This Is being
brought about in several cities. The rail-
road locomotive is one OF the great
smokers. 1t . offensive to that large

A "Silence" at Annapolis.

The silence" just reported from An
napolis as the device of the midshipmen
at the Naval Academy to attest TO their
disapproval of certain officers disciple
nary measures and methods, is not alto
gether a novelty. 1t has been heard Of
before both at Annapolis and at West
Point and at the minor military schools
in different parts of the country. II Is
a peculiarly safe means Of indicating the
rebuke of a superior officer OF course,
there is an agreement in advance which
Is no less than a conspiracy and which.
If IL could be proved would subject all
engaged In II to the severest punishment.
But IL Is one of the axioms of law that
conspiracy is the most difficult OF all Of
lenses. to prove conclusively, and a
silence" plot is particularly so. 1t is no
breach of discipline for cadet or stu
dent to remain silent during a meal In
deed silence may be In such circum-
stances virtue rather than an offense
No officer can consistently complain of
good order at table IL questioned as TO
his motives in remaining silent each
cadet may truthfully reply that he
had nothing to say. Cadets who are
engaged in such plan are not singular
in remaining silent because Of a lack
OF ideas. 1t might be conducive to the
welfare OF society IL the rule of keep
ing still until there Is something to say
worth saying became general. The SAT-
est way to deal with silence plot at
an institution Is to ignore IL.

Gambler and the Hookworm Gift.


We do not believe that the south Is
going to make a fool of itself In re-
gard to this matter. The intelhgent'
sober men of the south have long ago
become wearied and disguised with this
sectional chip that some of our spokes-
men insist upon carrying on their shout
ders They are tired Of this business
of being put in the attitude Of constantly
being on the qui vive for an insult.
They are sick Of this exploitation OF the
"sensitiveness' of a proud people. They
have ceased to desire-if they ever dld
being made the laughing-stock OF sober
thinking men. If the hookworm had been
prevalent In New England. doubtless Mr..
Rockefeller would have given this same
million for the campaign against the
plague; IL II had been In the west. then
the gift would have been maze in the
same way And in either instance II
would have been mentioned as a matter
Of course that the gift was made for a
fight against the disease in New England
or in the west, as the case might be.
That Is all there Ii to II.
The south will not only make itself
Iaughabie, but will show itself ungrateful
IL II fails to accept the Rockefeller gift
in the admirable spirit IN which 1t was
