The World and All
SIDE TALKS WITH ANIMALS

Have you ever noticed that persons who spend much
time with animals are usually gentle and human folk =!
| have long observed it. II is also evident to me that
men who live mostly with wild animals are even more
civilized than those who specialize in domestic beasts.
DR.. William 7. Hornaday, who for half a century
directed the affairs Of the Bronx Park Zoo in New
York, is one of the most essentially friendly human
beings l have ever known. He speaks in a well-modu-
lated tone, and never excitedly or hea.edly. i suppose
that comes Of living with wild animals. There il moth
ing to be got out Of a lion by roaring at him, since
the lion can roar louder than you can, If the argument.
comes TO that. So, instead of roaring at the lion and
bawling orders at the tiger you learn to speak gently
to both of them, and you learn that these wild crea-
lures know how to appreciate gentleness.
You can't make much Of an impression upon an
elephant BY calling him vile names or throwing stones
at him, but one who knows the ways Of elephants can
do wonders with them by speaking to them as one
might speak to a well-bred woman.
DR.. Hornaday retired from the zoo work two or
three years ago. He retired to his home in Stamford,
Conn, and did some writing. The result is a charming
book called wild Animal Interviews recently pub
lished by Scribner's. It's a book for adults and young
sters alike. for it contains worlds Of information that
adults ought to have, while it is written in language
and in form that children can appreciate and under
stand.
The writer Of thsi book goes at the question Of
what's on the animals mind, and his method Of telling
it is that Of reporting IN interview. He has intimate
conversations with monkeys. mud hens and beavers.
Well, | haven't the least doubt that the interviews are
genuine in essence. Or. Hornaday lived close to the
wild animals and enjoyed their confidence. And | know
that il ! were a wild animal I would seek out this gen
tie friend and make him my father confessOr.

America must mean nothing less than this.

In contrast to these, or filling in the gaps where they

the full cultural possibilities Of a whole people IS a
new phenomenon.
II American education can give general currency

and can instill habits of intellectual growth, and the
temper Of aspiration, Of great expectation, Of critical
and open-minded inquiry, and of adventure-these
qualities will continue to enlarge the lives Of men and

CUBA KEEPS THE PEACE DURING ELECTION

dallas News.
The fact that Cuba has held an election may be
worth 4 small headline. Bat the fact that she kept the
peace while she was doing it surely earns a bigger one.
II Is iust about the first bloodless balloting that Cuba
has known. certainly while Cuba was free of foreign
troops.
The occurrence may be accepted as evidence that
the island country is improving in 8 political poise' y
Il TO be hoped that il means that. But Machado had
no opponent. The real test will come when Cuba un-
dergocs a holly contested campaign without the march
ing Of barefooted stalwarts with shotguns and corn
harvesting knives.
Some parts Of Latin America seem slower than 9th
ers in getting the idea that the other political party
has TO have some sort of show for its money. Argentina
has been pretty stable lately. Brazil has had Its up
risings. but they do not seem to have attained major
Importance. Possibly there is a smaller South Ameri-
can country with a better regard than either OF them
but in the main South and Central America doesn't
expect fair play at the polls. Elections are formalities
foreordained to indorse the party in power. Revolution
is the true voice of the people.
there again the test is inconclusive because Oregon
was unopposed and because he was at last brought 70 q
violent death himself. Portes Gil, of course, has not
stood for his post at the polls. Cuba is improving.
That much can be said with certainty. When Macha-
dos successor lis chosen at a later election. and over
opposition yet without resort to armed force, we shall
be able to say more on the subject.
