HARDING SHOWS
DEADLY DANGER

for Us to know exactly what under
article We shalt have bound our
selves to do. A one Of the high con-
tracing parties. We shall undertake
first to respect the territorial In.
tesrity and existing political inde-
pendence. Of the other member Of
the league. II this were all. Mr.. vii.
son would Be quite correct n sxyME
that the right Of congress to declare
war or not to declare war had not
been interfered with. Thus far. We
are bound only to exercise that de.
gree OF self control which will en-
able US to keep our hands Oft our
neighbor's territory.
The Worst Feature
But unfortunately this Is not all;
indeed. compared with what remains.
II is negligible. We undertake not
only to respect the territorial inte-
gritty and political undergraduates
co-members. but to preserve them as
against external aggression.
We do not need to bring to bear
upon these words any fine processes
of logical analysis. Their meaning
is so plain that he who runs may
read. The obligation assumed Is as
free from ambiguity rs a written
promise to pay $50 80 days after
date. To preserve means to defend
and save. When ratified the obliga-
tion becomes that OF the nation. not
merely the promise of the president
and the senate or congress. The na-
tional honor will be pledged to It as
II Is pledged to the performance of
every treaty. America will never

which may require q re-

matic campaigns of the war was that waged by the British South Africans against the Germans in German East Africa. The British conquest was com -s plete. Meanwhile Britain had declared Egypt protectorate, which, with Brit ish Africa, just north of the German colony on that coast, made the Cape-to- Cairo scheme physically possible.
 There remained the difficult problem of developing communications The rail- road from the Persian Gulf to Bagdad. completed by the British since the Mesopotamian campaign, was a simple matter compared with the building of roads railroads, or even the stretching Of telegraph wires through this swild country. But. the development of air craft furnished the answer to the prob lem and now Cairo is to be linked with the tip of thescontinent. and ~Capetown, through Cairo, is to be linked with Eu- rope and Great Britain. Where it for merly took from 10 to 12 weeks to go from Cairo to the Cape it will now,take less than one. flying .leisurely for eight hours day. or 52 hours altogether. The distance by air is reckoned at 5200 miles. But this is merely the begin ming. and it is but Sone of the many schemes being worked out by the Brit ish to connect the far-flung empire by air communications, while we are doing nothing to develop aviation.

South Makes Remarkable \ Showing In Live Stock

6f7HE Southern Railroad News 0 Bulletin presents some inter-
 esting facts ab0ut the high rating of live stock south of the Ohio and Po-
 tomac At the recent international deposition at Chicago the exhibits from the south were not so numerous as those from other sections, but
 breeders were awarded very large percentage of the principal prizes.
 In the fat classes, southern breed lers were awarded one prize on |Herefords, one on shorthorns, two on IAberdeen-Angus, two on grade and
 crossbred steers, two on Berkshire hogs, one on Duroc-Jerseys and five on Hampshires. The relatively small number of prizes awarded to
 the south in the fat animal classes is accounted for by the fact that there very few exhibits in these classes from the southern states.
 The bulletin remarks that the fine showing made by the south proves that the southern climate and south Iern feeds are exceptionally we'll
 adapted to the production of the highest class of, all Kinds of domestic animals, and when this is considered in connection with the economy of production due to the long grazing season, the abundance and variety of forage crops, and proximity to mar
 kets in the great consuming centers of the United States with excellent transportation facilities, it demon strates beyond question that there is mo section of the country in which meat production can be carried on more profitably than in the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi"

 RHODES DREAM COMES TRUE

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 12 T has taken just IS years from the
 death of the dreamer for perhaps
 the most pretentious dream of em- pire in the last century to come true. When Cecil Rhodes was only 22 he con- ceiyed the idea that Africa should be dominated by Great Britain. and spent his life working toward that end. Much had been accomplished when he died in 1902. In the last five years events have so shaped themselves that the return of peace has put in the finishing touches. Today London announces the complete working out of an air service from Cairo to Capetown
 < Rhodes life aim was to make Africa British from Cape to Cairoi' Largely tually extended her territory as far north as the southern end of Lake Tan ganyika. He was baked at this point, however, by the British government, which negotiated the Treaty of 1899 with Germany extending the German sphere of influence from the East Coast to the frontier of the Congo Free State. German East Africa. thus inter- posed. effectively blocked all schemes for linking Cairo with the Cape, bu. Rhodes did not give up the idea and at his own expense connected Uganda with the south by telegraph

Iular fancy as something to create a laugh, he was an eminent scientist who took himself and his work seri- eusly It would be unfair to judge
 he man by accounts of him that have appeared from time to time in the Sunday supplements. He once sued a photographic company for one hun Idred thousand dollars for permitting "a picture to be published of man al- legged to be Dr. Garner, kissing an ape.
 Nearly everyone has heard of the cage which Dr. Garner built in the African jungles, in which he shut himself up for the purpose of trying to discover a monkey language. He transferred the sounds made by these animals to phonograph records and believed that he had actually proved the existence of a language used by monkeys, although it contained only Ia few words. He stated ,ons his re- turn to America last year that he had found monkey in the Congo that talked to him.
 
 Twenty-three journeys to Africa for various scientific bodies were made by Dr. Garner Many of his. claims were received with skepticism and even ridicule, but he persevered in his labors and if the sum total of his discoveries has no particular value to society as whole, he never theless added great deal to the knowledge of a most fascinating sub ject, the remarkable similarity be- tween the anthropofd ape and -man.

One ceremony was held at his home, another at his church, and every thing passed off just as if a real burial had taken place.

!. x Methodists To Merge Into One Great Body

THE merging of the two great
 S branches of the Methodist Episcopal church, north and south, is practically accomplished.
 The fact that the commission of one hundred or more bishops, pastors and laymen of both branches voted unanimously for the plan of organic union makes it certain that the final action of the general conferences will be favorable.
 The church split on the slavery question in 1846. Since then both branches have increased rapidly in numbers and influence, but until re- gently old prejudices remained. Ante bellum issues being long dead, how ever, every forward looking leader has sought means of getting togeth. CT, not only in. fraternal correspond ence, but in actual union.
 The merger plan proposes that the name of the united body be simply the Methodist church. Under the new constitution, there will be a su- preme general conference composed of seven regional conferences. Six of these will be composed of white members, averaging about one mil lion each. The other will embrace the entire negro membership of about three hundred and three thousand. Regional and local conferences will have control of their respective reg ions except in general legislation. Bishops will be chosen by local con- ferences, subject to confirmation by the supreme conference.
 The details of the regional plan have been thoroughly considered and care fully worked out, and the great Methodist church, the largest Protestant body in the United States, in respect of white membership, will be ready for new stride.
 When final action is taken, it will be in order for the event to be cele- brated by grand jubilee and a wide spread revival.

Scientist Who Claimed
 That Monkeys Can Talk

51T1HE late Dr. Osler and Dr. Rich
 S ard L. Garner, the African ex- plorer who died in Chattanooga. were almost as wide apart in their profes- sions and the work to which they devoted their lives as the two poles. Yet both of them gained a certain notoriety which threatened to obscure their real achievements
 Dr. Osler, because of his alleged suggestion that men who had reached , the age of forty years be chloro- formed, and Dr. Garner, because of his intimate study of monkeys for many years, were regarded by un- thinking people as more or less freakish personalities. Both men possessed the zeal and indefatigable industry of true scientists. Dr. Os- Ter, following the profession of medi- cine, was naturally able to do more for humanity than Dr. Garner, but the latter even surpassed him in de- votion to his life work, if that were possible. It is doubtful if the genial Dr. Osler, famed on two continents for his hospitality, would have spent thirty years of his life in the jungles to obtain a more profound knowledge of medicine.
 Although pr, Garner was the sub ject of countless sensational articles in the newspapers and his investiga- tions were seized upon by the pop
