LETTER FROM A MONKEY

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Will you give space in your
paper for a regular blue-blooded
aristocratic monkey to say a few
words? l see in the papers that
you human folks have got up a
terribly hot argument on the
question of Evolution, and I
want you all to understand that
we monkeys are interested in
that. When it comes to bring
ing such awful charges against
our noble monkey race as some
Of your scientists have done, it
is time for us to speak up and
defend ourselves.
/ see that a man by the name
of Darwin has made the state
ment that all you forked things
with shoes on can trace your an
cestral line back to us monkeys.
And according to the best infor-
nation I can get, all your schol-
ars of the present day accept
the Darwin theory and claim
that the proof of it is too strong
to be denied
Being an educated monkey, I
have studied Darwin and his fol-
lowers pretty carefully myself,
and I admit that they put up
some very plausible arguments.
Some of their statements are no
doubt very convincing to the
limited mentality Of mere hui
man, but to the stronger intel
lect of a monkey they are as
f1imsy as cobwebs.
And now, Mr.. Editor, with
your kind permission, I shall
now proceed to give your read
ers a few monkey reasons why
the Darwin theory cannot be
true.
In the first place, monkeys
are peaceable folks. We never
invented gunpowder and sub.
marines, poison gas and INT
We have never had a great
world war among us and butch
cred up and starved twenty mil
lion monkeys just to humor thu
whim of a half-dozen monkey
kaisers. We have got more
sense than that. We hardly eve
get sick if left alone. It is only
when taken captive and kept il
your human society that we pine
away and die prematurely
Therefore we have no use fo:
. doctors and drug stores, hospi
The fool-killer., 1922-09-01

tails and hot water bottles. We
have never had a law suit over
a line fence, and we don't need
a great army of monkey lawyers
to protect our personal interests
from other monkeys. We have
got more sense than that. We
don't drink corn likker nor
smoke cigars, chew tobacco nor
dip snuff. We have more self
respect than to touch those nasty
things.
And then again-and this is
one of my strongest points-we
monkeys do not commit sin. We
never have to be threatened
with hell-fire to keep us straight.
We don't need the services OF g
million monkey preachers con-
tlnually trying to drag us into
heaven by the hair of the head.
We are not afraid of any devil
with horns and forked :1oofs,
and the hell that your preachers
talk so much about has no ter
rors for us.
We monkeys don't have to
make money in order to live. We
don't have to sweat in old dirty
factories nor sit bumped up all
day counting column after col
umn of foolish figures on paper.
We know how to get along and
live our lives in peace without
so much bother, and I'll bet five
bushels of cocCanuts against
your store teeth that we get
more enjoyment out of life than
you do.
Now you take all these evil
things that I have mentioned
including sin ard the fear of hell
and you will notice that they
are confined to the human race
exclusively. We monkeys are
not bothered with them at all.
If you men had half as much
sense as we monkeys have got
you surely could see that tn .re
is no blood relation between us
Our way of living is simple and
satisfactory, while yours is very
complicated and very unsatis.
factory. The differences arc
much greater than the resembl.
ances, and therefore any att. nl,;
to prove a common origin is
bound to end in failure.
One more point and I'm done
I'VE monkeys want you humans
to understand that we cons 1e,
it an insult to our noble monkey
race for anybody to even ins1nu
ate that we are the ancestors Of
such critters as kaiser Bill anl
lWodp1e Wilson, Rocky D. Oily
feller and President Hardtimes
| Now, Mr.. Editor, if this ism,
enough proof, and if your wis,
men are still unable to see th'
point, I will write again.
Yours truly,
| CEIMPAN z. MONKEY.

REPUBLICAN PRAYER

jority, but who couldst not be
elected for dog-catcher today, we
come before thy mighty much
ness in an attitude OF great flat
ness, beseeching thee to tell us
which end of the political poker
is the hottest. For behold we
have tried both ends and the
middle, and get burnt every time,
and 0 Master Hardtlmes, we
want to know if thou hast any
political plasters that will make
our burns quit hurting.
Master Hardtimes, we still
love thee, but it is about the
most disagreeable loving we ever
tried to do. If we ever do get
through with this job Of loving
thee, durn our skins if we ever
take another such a job.
Thou nowest, 0 Master, that
we have tried to dance to thy
music, but thou hast played so
blamed bad that we can't tell
when to dance and when to not
dance. And some of us don't
feel much like dancing on an
empty stomach nohoW.
Hang-take it, Master Hard
times, thou knowest how we lied
for thee in the last campaign.
Thou knowest how we told the
people that thou vast a 1920

But O what a mess thou hast
made of it! Thou hast led us
deeper and deeper into the uldre,
and hast got us so confused and
bewildered that we don't know
which way to turn. And it be-
gins to look as if thou dost not
know any more about it than the

O Master, why dost thou not
open thy face and utter some red
hot remarks about the kussed
primary system? Hast thou not
noticed what it is doing for thee
and thy Old Guard in nearly
every State where a primary is
held? Thou knowest that the
primary makes it more difficult
and expensive for us to buy the
Offices Why dost thou not lead
us back to the good old conyen-
tion system where we could have

What art thou going to do
about the bonus question? And
how art thou going to save
enough money to subsidize Mr..

HUNTING FOR THE "MIS-~
SING LINK"

Ever since Adam and Eve was:
a little boy this doggon human
race has been trying to find out,
where it came from, where it is
going, and what it will do when
it gets there.
A few thousand years ago
there was a man named Moses
who vote some ancient history,
and his version of the matter
seemed to satisfy the world for
a long while. But modern science
began to get inqulsitlve and
wanted to know more about it
than Moses has seen fit to tell
Modern science therefore applied

benches ,and now he is almost d

And that's why the Americans
Museum of Natural History and
the American Asiatic Associa~
ton have sent a bunch of scien-
tific fellers, under the lead OF
Roy Chapman Andrews, into the
heart of Asia to discover the
missing link" They are going
to be gone about five years, and
during that time they expect to
|capture the missing link dead or
alive, and thus put the stamp of
authority on the theories of Dar-
win.
They haven't found any mis-
sing link yet, but they are root
ing after it in the sands of the
desert like fourteen yaller pigs
roofing for a sweet tater.
The latest report is that they
have found the fossil bones of 8
dinosaur just like the ones we
used to raise in the Rocky Noun
tains. And they say that indi~

sayeth not. And just what the
bones of mammoth lizard
have got to do with the human
race is not exactly clear. But I
suppose they will write set of
twenty-nine fat volumes and ex~
plain all these things when they
get back home with enough mis-
sing links to make a chain of evi-
dence to prove that Moses didn't
root deep enough into the sands
of the desert.
But then suppose they do find:

reasonable that man might have

MA URGE GETS COPY OF WIFES
DIVORCE, BUT WILL NOT MARRY
Dancer and His Partner to
Sail for Europe Aboard
the Aquitania.

When a representative OF Maurice
Mouvet, dancer, known as Maurice. yes
terday obtained certified copy OF the
divorce decree obtained by his form .r
wife. Florence Walton Mouvet. in White
Plains last year. a rumor started that he
guesses was that he would remarry Miss
Florence Walton. az she is known on the
stage. Another was that he would wed
Miss Leonora Hughes. his present dane
ing partner. BY the decree the dancer
was forbidden to remarry during his
wife's lifetime.
Maurice arrived yesterday morning
from California, and at the Ambassador
Hotel answered inquiries about the incl
dent. He said that when he was pre-
viously In New York dancing in Good
Morning. Dearie," with Miss Hughes,
he had asked his attorneys. Hendricks &

decree.
He said he had no thought other than
to have 1t IL any question should arise
at any time about his status. He sup

turn. had obtained the paper for him.

said, that have no intention of marry

Hughes. We have just completed an en-

BOSTON SYMPHONY
ENDS ITS SEASON HERE
Schrekers. Drama Overture
Included in Program.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra
brought its New York season to an end
with yesterday afternoons concert in
Carnegie Hail. The program consisted
of Debussys Iberia" Franz Schreker's s
v Overture to a Drama" and the c minor
symphony of Brahms. The last nam ed
work has had hard winter. For that
reason 1t is entitled to immunity from
discussion this morning. One may enjoy
the spectacle of NJ. Pierre Monteux. con-
ductor of the Bostonians. battling with
the emotions he feels but cannot wholly
express when he is in the society of
Brahms. but there Is always the COM
forting assurance that the orchestra will
psrform the music commercially.
The Herr Professor Schreker is the
latest star in the beclouded armament
of German music. He was born in
Monaco: he was some time a professor
IN Vienna. and he is high priest OF the
Hoch Schulz in Charlottenburg. whicr
as every one knows, is the Brooklyn of
Berlin. His overture was published in
1914 and first performed in that year
by the Vienna Philharmonic under Felix
Weingartner. The score Is dedicated to
the producers and. as Mr.. Gericke re-
marked of a similar honor. II served
them right.
FIEIne Herr PROFESSOR SchrekerS $ music Is
not "schrecklich." 1t Is 'langweilich."
Which is to say it is not bad. but just
long winded. II is long and remark
ably pointless series of purposeless pip
j ings and paintings. bombastic bleatings
and tumultuous thunderings. Some-
times il sounds as IL 1t were going to be
n clever imitation of Debussy, but be-
fore rashly invading Gaul the composer
faces the other way. goes over the Sem
tmering Pass and lands for a brief re-
spite in the sunny land of Malipiero.
That. too. Is foreign to his soul. and
back he goes to Austria and thence into
Bavaria. where he foregathers with
Wagner and carries away much valuable
advice as to the manufacture of over
lures to dramas. BY this time the
reader must understand that the Herr
Professor is a man OF wide view and
catholicity OF taste He does not fol-
low any one slavishly, nor does he ad-
venture into unknown and untried paths
OF originality. He just meanders con-
fortaby along by the side of first one
friend and then another till h6 thinks II
is time 70 ring up the curtain on the
drama, and then he politely gives over
preluding and we may imagine that the
play-necessarily short one-begins.
The orchestra performed this prefacory
vacuity as II II were important music.
AZ for the Iberia OF Debussy. one
feels that the Frenchman's castles In
Spain become more visionary every
season. and that some day. like the
Holy Roman Empire. they will go up N
smoke. Mr.. Monteux conducted th's
composition with honorable intentions
and a measurable degree of success.
