The difference between the animal

a piece of work done at Clark univer-
sity--A. ]. Kinnman's study Of rhesus
monkeys, the Bandar-log Of the "Jun-
gle Book"
The monkey, following the usual
procedure, learned to get his food
from box. the lid of which fastened
with key. The key, however. could
not be withdrawn from the lock.
After the monkey had become familiar
with the device and could operate It
as readily as man could do the ex-
perimenter took the key out Of the
lock and laid 1t on the floor in front
Of the box. The monkey picked up the
key, played with it. but made no at
tempt to use it. Then the experiment.
er took up the key, and, fifty times In
succession, with the monkey two feet
away watching every motion, he un-
locked the box. The monkey would
have starved before he initiated that
simple act He had learned to open
the box by making certain movements.
He had no idea Of the key as an In
strument In the process. We some
times think instruments and means

the attorney general. While public
sentiment bitterly condemned the ac-
ton of Sig Grunsfeld in trying to Sc
cure four per cent of the collections,
in the case of Honest John" Beav-
en-, it is even stronger, because Mr..
Beaven, in order to secure his cleo
ton on the reform ticket. mede his
fight solely on the plea that he was
for lower county salaries, no matter
how he was personally affected He
even caused a letter to be published
in the Journal-Democrat, the organ
of that gang, in which he declared
that he hoped the very law which he
is now prepared to contest, would be
enacted by the legislature. He with
others, was active in securing a long
list of signers to a petition. asking the
legislature to pass the law.
The bold manner in which Honest
John" has set aside his pledges and
his written word of honor, has arous-
ed the people to a pitch, which will
make it uncomfortable for that indi-
vidual in this county, for some time
to come.

ceived from Celso Lopez OF santa Fe

and hoped such a law would be en-
acted, follows. The answer written

John s. Beaven, ex-treasurer of
Bernalillo county, who was elected
upon platform pledged to lower sal
aries for county officers and who in
addition to his election pledge. wrote
letter in which he declared himself
strongly in favor Of the very law he
now seeks to set aside as null and
void, yesterday turned over the coun-
ty funds to the new treasurer with
the exception of the insignificant
amount of some $4,000, or there
abouts. which he claims Is his salary
for two years in office.
The sum retained by Honest
John" represents about 4 per cent on
all collections instead Of per cent
which the present law says shall be
his salary. AS reported in The Citi-
zen yesterday. Mr.. Beaven says he
will hold that amount until the law
has been tested in court. If the law
can be set aside Honest John will
continue to retain the sum minus at
torney fees and other incidental ex-
penses. while the county can hold the
sack and such peace Of mind as its
voters are capable of exercising.
Following upon the heels of the de-
mand made by the Hon. Sig. Gruns-
field, for fou: per cent of the cOllec-
tions instead of two per cent, as his
salary in the office of assessor, the
action taken by Honest John" gives

Washington, Jan. 15.--President
Roosevelt and President-elect Taft by
letter. Speaker Cannon and Chairman
Hamilton of the committee on terri
tories by word Of mouth, have pro-
claimed in favor OF separate statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona at the
present session of Congress. There is
no opposition to the statehood bills in
the House and it is believed that all
opposition in the Senate has been
or will be withdrawn before the bills
reacn that body.
report of the committee on terri
tories of the House is expected next
Wednesday and there Is no doubt but
that the statehood bills will be re-
ported favorably. 1t is expected that
with Speaker Cannon's endorsement
and the endorsement Of the commit
tee the bills will go through the
House without unfavorable comment.
Senator Beveridge Is the only MEM
ber of the Senate opposing statehood
and it is believed that he has been
won over and that the Senate will
make 1t unanimous. President Roose-
welt will waste no time in signing the
statehood bill when it gets to him.
Prospects never were brighter for
New Mexico and Arizona becoming
states before March than they are
now.
