1t is interesting to learn from eX-
periments OH monkeys at a zoo that
they, unlike dogs, cats, chickens and
rats, but like human beings, do seem
to be able to profit by observing one
anOther'S behavior. In a number OF
cases one monkey would pull out a
plug or tug at a string after he had
seen q companion get food in this way
but not before.

Andrew Jackson's Birthplace.

North and South Carolinians quar-
rel as to the birthplace of Andrew
Jackson. A tradition has it that he
was born at the WaXhaw settlement in
Union county, North Carolina, but
jackson himself thought that he was
born near the WaXhaw creek in Lam
caster county, South Carolina. The
weight of evidence seems to favor the
South CarOlinians.

The administration victory in the
Democratic primaries in Nebraska is
as complete as the most intense oppo-
nont of Mr.. Bryan could desire. but
that it will result in benefits to the
administration i'm the election next
November is by no means decided af-
fair.
There have been two most triumph
ant epochs in Mr. Bryan's political ca
reor; the one. when a man of but 35
years. without political following and
little or no PERSONAL organization OF
forces. he seized the command Of the
opposition to the trained and well-or-
ganized forces Of the Cleveland ad-
ministration. scattered to the winds
his political adversaries and nominat-
ed himself 10 the Presidency.
From 1896 to 1912 he was the die
tator of the policies of the Democratic
party. owing none OF his strength
to the holding Of Office or the posses
sion Of patronage, but possessed OF the
confidence of the vast majority of the
Democratic party to degree never
equaled since the days of Andrew
Jackson.
His personal domination OF the Bal
timore national convention under cir
cumstances in which those opposed to
him had every reason to expect vic
tory and wero compelled to witness
with chagrin and disappointment his
personal battle. waged against great
odds, but which defeated them. point
after point, and enabled him to
change their supremacy into utter
rout and to name as the nominee
Woodrow Wilson.
Never in all his career did the po-
litical ability and the personal
strength in voice and action OF Mr.
Bryan serve him so well as at the
Baltimore national convention, and
never did such efforts bring greater
humiliation and political subordinacy
to any public man in America as they
have brought TO him.
AS one Of the friends pithly put t.
he served two years as Secretary of
State. with his principal duty being
to sign commissions to high official
positions for his political adversaries
in his own party.
His resignation relieved him from
that surely not agreeable avocation
and yet il seems to have placed him
as persona non grata" TO the very
persors who WELD temporary power

mental strain at Baltimore i'm 1912.

Mr.. Bryan's Pathetic Lack OF
HumOr
HumOF
lFrom the New York sun.l

William Jennings Bryan explains
his present peace pilgrimage TO
Washington upon the basis that as
patriotic citizen" it is his duty to use
such influence as he may possess to
save this country from the deplorable
disaster Of a foreign war. At the
same time he admits that he knows
little or nothing" about the present
aspects Of our controversy with Ger
many's government.
From the very outset of his public
activities up to the present moment
Mr.. Bryan's career has been. i'm its
larger features, a stupendoUs failure
because Of his lack of the saving
grace Of humor. Humor is that pre-
cious possession by means of which
he who is blessed with il sees all
things in their true perspective. in
cluding his own individuality. The
Pccksnflian type Of man, whose ego
tism is always raised to the nth
power, is wholly devoid of that ap-
probation Of the ridiculous which
vouchsafes to him who has it the Joy
of laughter the while it saves him
from becoming a source Of laughter
TO other people
If there is one influence among
many that has been the most potent
in bringing about the present danger

Cananza's Demand
CFrom the Washington Post.)

The Carranza governments demand
that the American troops shall be
withdrawn from Mexico-for that is
what Carranza's note means-marks
a new and menacing development in
the relations of the two countries,
which is emphasized by the actual
clash between American troops and
civilians at Parral and Carranza's ap-
peal to the United States to take cog
nizance of the inhamed state of feel
ing in Mexico.
Rumors that Carranza would ask
for the withdrawal of the American
forces have been current for several
days, but it was not known until yes
terday that Carranza had never con-
sented to the entry of the troops into
Mexico. His note of March 10 was not
made public. He states that in this
note he proposed a reciprocal arrange
nent for the crossing Of the border
by the troops OF the respective govern
ments. but that such an arrangement
was to apply only in case an outrage
similar to that perpetrated at COlum-
bus should occur He adds that on
March II he advised the United States
government that he had not given his
permission for the crossing Of Amer
lean troops into Mexico and that this
government had misinterpreted his
proposal Of March 10 by assuming that
he had acquiesced in the order for the
pursuit of villa.
The American public had before it
only Secretary Lansing's reply to the
Carranza note of March 10, in which
Mr.. Lansing accepted the proposed
reciprocal arrangement and took the
position that it was effective upon ac-
ceptance and therefore constituted
