The National 400"

It is announced that the National
Geological Park in this city will soon
receive, by courtesy of the New York
Geological Society, a number of speci-
mems of rare animals and birds in con-
sequence of tho receipt of a shipment
Of exhibits from a collecting expedi-
tion sent out by that organization. The
specimens that will come to Washing
ton, it is stated, are duplicates. This
brings to mind the fact that there is
no adequate provision for the enlarge
ment Of the capitals "zoo," which de-
pends upon very small appropriation
for additions and requirements and
upon exchanges and the courtesies of
other institutions. The consequence is
that the Washington Zoo, established
in the most attractive setting occupied
by any similar establishment, grows
very slowly. Indeed, the national ZOO
logical collection has had . Topsylike
development. It started with a small
herd Of buffalo sent here from the
west and corralled on the grounds of
the Smithsonian Institution about
thirty years ago. To that herd were
slowly added specimens of other ami
mails sent by eonsuls and occasionally
donated by private individuals. When
the present Zoo Park was created the
collection had developed through small
appropriations, and from that time to
the present the annual additions have
been meager. Natural increases have
enabled the officials to secure some
worthwhile additions through trades.
The Washington Zoo, in short, needs a
laseer endowment or moro generous

Slogans.

Speaking of slogans: The republicans
employed three in the campaign OF
1896 with great effect.
"The full dinner pail" was attributed
to Mark Hanna, and proved a very
happy nnintage. It was caught up i'm
lmediately. After several years of bust
ness depression and souphouse expert
ence, the country saw the point and
responded to it. The slogan undoubt
edly secured many votes for the re-
publican ticket.
"Open the mills instead of the mints'
was coined by Mr.. Mckinley, and used
in one of his front-porch addresses
He also had reference to the stagna
tion which was then the bane of the
country. Mr.. Bryan was proposing 9
fifty-cent dollar as the remedy. Mr.
Mckinley countered by proposing re-
sumption Of manufacturing, which
would end the souphouses, and benefit
both capital and labor. He was elect
ed, and in no long time the mills were
opened, the souphouses closed, and cap
ital and labor both fourishing.
"The advance agent of prosperity
was the title bestowed upon Mr.. Nc
Kinley by Jonathan P. Dolliver, then 9
representative in Congress from the
tenth Iowa district. And so the re-
publican candidate turned out to be
Under the Mckinley administration

preston to unprecedented activity and

Mr.. Dolliver, it will be remembered
had been the choice of many repub
licans for second place on the Ne
Kinley ticket. He was strong man
and one of his party's most effective
orators. But Theodore Roosevelt, ther
Governor of New York, and with hi.

was the popular choice. Mr.. Dolliver's
death, which occurred while he wal
still in his prime, robbed his party and

Gov. Cox's Acceptance.

Gov. Cox's speech accepting the
democratic nomination for the presi
dency commends itself for its clearness
of expression and its explicit state
ments regarding his attitude upon the
issues of the campaign. 1t contains no
surprises. 1t squares with the candi-
dates previous declarations and with
the democratic platform. Of chief in
terest, naturally, is his statement re-
gardfag the league of nations and the
treaty of peace, for which he pledges
himself in terms that leave no doubt
Of his full agreement with President
Wilson upon the necessity of ratifca-
fioH without changes or reservations
that alter the essential features of the
international compact. A considerable
space is devoted naturally to the treat
nent of the republican position on this
subject, Gov. Cox urging that SEN
ator Harding in his Interpretation Of
the republican platform pledges a sep
8fate peace with Germany He pleads
eloquently for an arrangement that
will lessen if not prevent the evil of
war. And to this end he declares that
The first duty of the new administra-
tion will be the ratification Of the
teeaty. On the score of reservations
Il says:
sUur platform clearly lays no bar
against any additions that will be help
fHl, but it speaks in firm resolution
to stand against anything that dis
turbs the vital principle. We hear it
said that interpretations are unneces-
sary. That may be true, but they will
at least be reassuring to many of our
citizens who feel that in signing the
treaty there should be no mental
reservations that are not expressed in
plain words, as a matter of good faith
to our associates"
In an aggressive spirit the candidate
assails the republican failure during
two years of control in Congress to
lessen the burden of taxation laid by
the war upon the people. He in effect
pledges democratic performance to
that end and suggests in outline the
methods to be adopted, notably remisl
sion of the excess profits tax, which he
charges with causing much of the prof
iteefing by which the people have been
mulcted.
On the subject Of labor Gov. Cox
takes no particular stand beyond ex-
preston Of belief in the right of col
1ective bargaining. For agriculture he
asks greater consideration, with prac-
tical help to enable the farmers to OBJ
tain fair prices for their products
without adding to the cost Of living.
He holds that the maximum Of gov
ernmental expenses, without loss of ef-
fciency, should be $4,000, ,O00, 900, in
cluding national debt charges. Mem
bership in an effective league of ma
tions, he urges, would permit lessen.
ing of the cost of armament.
A vigorous treatment of Senator
Hardings declaration in favor of gov
eminent by party is one Of the strik-
ing features of the speech, which closes
with warning against excessive cam
paign expenditures through which pos
sibly control of the government may
be gained for selfish purposes.
This speech, like that of the repub-
1ican candidate, will supply abundant
material for the campaign speakers in
its well phrased expressions of policy
and promise. 1t is an excellent state
ment OF the democratic position.

never were before the war. With
commerce to South America largely
restricted by shortage Of ships, many
new industries were started in
Argentina, and that republic came
nearer to being self-sustairiing than
it ever previously hoped to be. There
is spirit among the people today.
DR.. Klein said, to continue this new
industrial activity.
This means that while the United
States must feel the loss of these
markets, especially in textiles and
shoes, yet there is thrown open a
broad avenue in furnishing supplies
for these new Argentine industries.
Right with that and lending zest
to the business of negotiating prof
liable trade with South America,
comes a remarkable development of
the protective tariff. Argentina has
just increased her tariffs 20 per cent
partly for revenue, but largely to
protect these new Industries. This
subject is of particular interest to
the United States Tariff Commission
and other important associations in
this country which are zealously
safeguarding American interests.
