Six Nameless Simians.

Cook County, H., has a zoo, and the
zoo, of course, has monkey inmates
Now there are six infant simians In
the monkey house, ana the Cook Coun-
ty authorities want to name them ap-
propriately, so they have asked the
public to sponsor the lietle fellows. A
prize OF IS has been offered to the
person who submits the best list of six
suitable names for them. The offer
comes at an opportune time. Chicago
is particularly well situated for such
a competition, for it is greatly con.
cerned, through the participation of
one of its leading citizens, in a legal
proceeding soon to be held in which
the simian family will figure largely.
1t is better than two-to-one wager
that the majority Of the lists submitted
to the Cook County officials In this
contest will include such names as
Darrow, Bryan, Scopes, Dayton, Ten
nessee and Darwin. These are all
masculine, save possibly Tennessee,
but the feminine members of the now
nameless coterie in the Chicago ZOO
can be readily accommodated by varia
tions of these titles.

White House kenovations.

Protest by architects against pro-
posed renovations in the White House
which will tend to restore the colonial
aspect of the structure are not cal
culated to arouse public sympathy.
The historic building is strictly OF the
colonial design. 1t is typical OF the
rative American architecture. The in
terror should conform to the exterior.
When a number Of years ago
changes were effected in the White
House. both in the outer and inner ar
rangement, public feeling was aroused.
President Roosevelt, however, was
not moved by expressions Of dissent,
and proceeded with the revision of the
building. The proposed renovations
do not aim at any change in the
exterior, but affect merely the fur
nishings and decorations Of the rooms,
and are calculated to restore the
strictly colonial aspect of the mansion.
The fact that the present scheme OF
decoration has been in vogue for more
than two decades does not constitute a
reason against the restoration of the
original character OF the building. II a
mistake was made when the French
empire style was adopted for the in
terror 1t need not necessarily be per-
petuated simply because of the lapse
of time.
One of the chief criticisms OF Amer
lean art and architecture is that they
lack in native character. The colonial
style, an ada ptation from the classic
is the nearest approach in structural
design TO a characteristic American
fashion. 1t has gained a distinctive
place and it is highly appropriate
that it should be perpetuated in the
residence of the Chief Magistrate.
both within and without the structure.
Public taste in these matters is de-
pendable, despite the lack of technical
knowledge. Public feeling, however, is
the surest guide. Sentiment is power
ful as an influence, and in this present
matter the sentiment of the people OF
the country Is undoubtedly favorable
tc. a renovation that will definitely re-
store to the White House the true
colonial character that it once pos
sessed, and that should never have
been supplanted by an exotic fashion.

in the anthracite mines, the increase
In the price would represent mere
velvet" 1t would IN any case be a
form Of profiteering in one of its worst
forms.
Should the producers of coal seek to
increase the prices which they charge
the wholesaler and the retailer be.
cause Of this threatened strike, they,
too, would be guilty. In such event
the retailer might we'll say to his Gus
toners that he is forced to raise his
prices because of the increase de-
manded of him. An increase of prices
by the producer for hard coal, based
on the possibility of a strike, at this
juncture would be an attempt in ad-
vance to compel the public to pay
losses which he anticipates from a
failure to manage his own business.
The consuming public often has been
compelled to pay the piper, to meet
the responsibilities which belong to in
dustry or labor, or both.
The business of coal mining and dis
tribution is uneconomically performed
in this country. 1t has been the sub
ject OF much criticism, but no solution
of the problem has been found. One
of the serious drawbacks is the sea
sonal character which the business
has taken on. The people as a whole
will not buy coal in the Summer
months to warm them during the
Winter. Prices, therefore, go up and
down with the seasonal production
and demand. Prices are on the up
ward turn because of this seasonal
character of the business. But there
should be no further increases than
are usual at this time of year merely
because of a threat of strike.

The flag had been made by the coolie

its blue field was bedecked with 6S

The Chinese are not very adept at
understanding the other fellows point
OF view, and the lower caste Chinaman
knows that he cannot trust his fellow
countryman not to slip a knife be-
tween his ribs while carrying on a
friendly conversation. His sense of
selfpreservation has therefore been
developed to a point OF inventive
genius far beyond that of any other
race in the world. Usually, however,
he outwits his enemy by some sleekly
designed bit of trickery, and not by
sheer bravado.

tion of two large truths: that when
the safety OF his own person is in

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

Speaking of the Senate, Senator Joe
Robinson, Democratic leader in that
body, tells a captivating story of how
the one time Senator Jeff Davis of
Arkansas impressed a visitor from
home with his Importance in the Up
per Chamber. Jeff. 1t seems, was sit
ting in the gallery with his constitu-
ent, who admitted after a time that
the proceedings were boring him to
tears. Only about two or three Sena-
tors were on the floor. One was speak
ing in humdrum manner for the
Record" Page boys lolled about or
gossiped in low tones. The presiding
officer was lost in a book. Reading
clerks were yawning. Some of the
doorkeepers were asleep.
$50 this is the Senator" remarked
the constituent with a tone in his
voice that was anything but cOmpli-
mentary.
Well would you like to see some
action?" asked jeff, shifting the
breeze.
The constituent allowed as how he
craVed just that sort of thing.
Then I'll go down there" said jeff
''and the first thing you know you'll
see hell apopping. You just see what
happens when jeff Davis hits the
floor"
Sure enough Jeff had not been gone
but a minute or two when bells be-
gan to ring, pages began to hustle
here and there, doorkeepers snapped
to attention reading clerks were on
their feet, and the presiding officers
gavel was beating a tatto on his desk.
Senators began to pour in from every
doorway. Voices doomed. The Senate
was galvanized.
In the midst of the excitement
Senator Davis returned to his con-
stituent in the gallery. Needless to
say that worthy from the OZarks
was deeply impressed.
YOU'RE right, jeff" he exclaimed
those fellows down there must be
scared o. you"

of an undertone the absence of
