This is the time Of year when the yard
with chipmunks in 1t has the advantage.
Chipmunkless gardens are at q dis
advantage.
When you hear some gentleman brag-
ging about the possession of these striped
rodents, say nothing in reply, If you
have only plain squirrels, for the chip
munk Is unique, after all.
There are few yards, even in the
suburbs, which sport these fellows,
classed as intermediate between the
true squirrels and the gophers.
Many persons, brought up In the older
type Of educational system, will have
q pleasurable thrill of recognition at
the very mention Of chipmunk.
He Is the Atchitamo Of Longfellow's
"Hiawatha."
The name, from the ojibway tongue,
means squirrel, 50 there you are.
Many Of these miniature rodents,
scientifically called Tamias stratus, are
to be seen in the National Geological
Park.
We do not mean in cages, but free
and wild, running through the shrub
berry, peering out ut you with immensely
There Ii one particular walk there the
chipmunks love. 1t Is the winding, rocky
staircase which runs from Adams Mill
road down to the creek. Along 1t, almost
any trip, the pedestrian may count q
dozen Atchitamos.
These are the true ground squirrels
and any other rodent SO called Is named
incorrectly.
Chipmunks, among the animals, are
like grace notes in music.
Their lively, darting ways add charm
to the woodland walk, whether in the
real forests or along carefully con-
structed woodland walks such as may
be found at the Zoo in such abundance.
There are 20 many things to see, in
such walks, that 1t is well to keep in
mind that some of the most interesting
are the smallest.
This is true Of the chipmunk.
A mere handful Of creature, actually,
It nevertheless is vastly more interesting
than many an animal which looms a
thousand times its bulk.
In some of the far Western States
they are captured and kept as cage pets.
A form of the squirrel flying wheel is
used to afford both the rodents and
spectators amusement. How much fun
the rodents get out Of this exercise is
problematical. Such wheels do afford
the Gagged animals vastly larger amount
Of exercise than they would get in any
other confined way. The point against
1t is that 1t Is an artificial and unnatural
form Of exercise for an animal which
never. in Nature. would choose to 60
round and round.
Perfectly natural creatures are, In the
main. SO perfectly healthy that 1t may
be believed that few OF them, trapped
and Gagged. would 60 backward in health,
despite lack OF exercise.
The continued vigor of such large cats
as lions and tigers in confinement Is
something which strikes all persons who
stand in front Of their cages. Although
the animals get practically no exercise
In contrast with the free habits Of their
native habitats-they manage to keep
healthy and supple. Some have sug-
gested that they do it by taking that

C Community Chest This Year

The Community Chest campaign Of
1885 should need no argument. It's pur-
pose is too well understood to stand in
want Of any apology or explanation. The
average citizen, it safely may be pre-
sumed, welcomes the opportunity to con-
tribute to the relief and character
building institutions of the city. He no
longer requires to be educated in the eff
ficiency and the social effect of giving
to help his less fortunate neighbors.
The Federal Government, he knows,
solves only q part of the problem when
it distributes doles. Voluntary assistance,
such as the Chest agencies represent,
completes, rounds out and nils In the
picture-a composition which otherwise
would be left unfinished.
But this year the annual appeal has
Q particular significance which certainly
Is worthy Of mention. The Nation. IN

The Americas and Peace.


In god-speed send-off for the United
States delegation which has just sailed
for Argentina, President Roosevelt
strikes the keynote of the Inter-
American Conference to be convened at
Buenos Aires on December l. The
twenty-one American republics have
Roosevelt says, ito make the spirit of
peace practical and living fact" and
to demonstrate "te the War-weary
peoples of the world that the scourge of
armed conflict can and will be elimi-
mated from the Western Hemisphere"
Announcement is momentarily expect
ed that the President himself will at
tend the opening session of the confer
ence. That would be most appro-
pirate gesture, for relations with our
sister republics have been notably i'm
proved during the Roosevelt administra-
tion. It's good neighbor policy has been
honored in concrete observance by abro-
cation of the Platt amendment concern
Ing Cuba, withdrawal of Marines from
Haiti and proclamation of this country's
intention hereafter to refrain from any
sort of interference in the domestic af-
fairs of the other Americas. Since in
auguration of the Hull reciprocal trade
program, agreements have been con-
cluded with six or seven Latin American
nations, and negotiations are pending
with several others. Washington now
edays omits no opportunity to solidify the
bonds, both cultural and commercial,
which unite the Colossus of the North"
with Central and South America and
the Caribbean lands. 1t will be highly
fitting for President Roosevelt to be-
token by his presence at Buenos Aires
the enduring Importance the United
States attaches to close comradeship
with its fellow democracies of the West.
Mr.. Roosevelt stresses that the i'm
pending assemblage will be mo ordinary
conference" 1t is meeting at moment
when democratic institutions are Sc
riously threatened and in a world in
which freedom and human liberty itself
are at stake" At such q time, the
President points out, the American re-
publics, welded to ideals which are the
antithesis of all that dictatorship per-
sonif1es, stand forth as an example of
international solidarity, cooperation and
mutual helpfulness."
The path of achievement at Buenos
Aires will not be thornleSS. Divergent
views prevail as to the form future
-Americanism should take. Whether
1t is to evolve into purely Western
regionalism, isolated from concerns
of the other hemisphere, is to be
determined. Relations with the League
of Nations, of which various Latin states
are members, present controversial
Issue. Neutrality is a proposition Of
many angles. Development of new
Monroe Doctrine by multilateral declara-
ton will be broached. But, given the
premise of the will for peace and CO.
operation, which animates all concerned,
the Inter-American Conference will
embark upon its labors under auspicious
skies.

to give the elephant one Of the most
thorough beatings in history. Thus it is
that Republicans feel that they, too, like
truth, though crushed to earth, shall
rise again.
As usual after an election upheaval
like the late carnage, discussion revolves
around future party alignments. Already
the view is widely aired that both the
old-line Democratic and Republican or
ganiZationS, as such, are headed for the
scrap heap. Liberal and conservative
are the titles generally applied to their
probable and respective successors.
Democrats, in fusion with Progressive
and Farmer-Labor elements, are ac-
counted the combination likely to form
the nucleus of new liberal party,
while Republicans and Jeffersonian
Democrats would prospectively gravitate
into q conservative opposition. Nearly
everybody thinks John L. Lewis and
the American Labor party, which last
week rolled up q big vote under its own
banner in New York State, will bulk

construction, with the United Mine

. Senator r-elect Clyde L. Herring, Demo-
crat, of Iowa, like the late Senator James
-Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, made
his pile out of Ford cars. A native of
Michigan, who grew up rs q rancher in
Colorado, Herring emigrated to Iowa and
took up farming just about the time
the fiivver era was descending upon
the American people. Forming his own
automobile agency at Des Moines in
1910, Herring proceeded to make the
Hawkeyes Ford-minded on q Statewide
scale. BY the time he was elected Gov
ernor in 1888, he had amassed q high
bracket fortune out Of one OF the biggest
automotive sales organizations in the
Middle West.
While the st. Lawrence waterway
treaty Is expected sooner or later to be
revived, Canadian advices are to the
effect that unless 1t Is drastically re-
constructed it will encounter almost
deadly opposition in the Dominion.

pected to include plans for joint

sat with the board of elections, helped
in it's count and remained until 1t was
ascertained that Cameron Morrison
led Max Gardner by 81 votes. Mr..
Gardeners friends protested and the
candidate conceded to Mr. Morrison
an advantage of 10000 votes in the
run-off. That approximate 5000 lead
of Clyde Hoey made shady stuff UNI
necessary. Mr.. Mcdonald carried
Stacy Wade and Paul Grady with him,
despite their first primary leads.
The STOCK and standing response to
these charges of fraud perpetrated by
the machine is found in the 1882 pri-
mary. Cameron Morrison had nearly
all of it but he lost his Senate seat
by 100000 majority to a man who had
none of the party machinery. Cover
nor Ehringhaus was reputed to have
the organization, but it allowed the
$4,000 lead in the first primary to
dwindle to $4,000 in the second.
The amount of fraud committed
with half million people voting is
regarded negligible. 1t is one of the
habits of heelers to affect smartness
and tell their opponents of great
frauds, many politicians have observ-
ed. But the courts never have had
much evidence of actual crimes.

fairness against the recent July
Fourth primary returns In DR.. Nc
Donald's letter to his county manag-
ers he expressed the opinion that with
out money and pressure, one-sided
election machinery and other advan-
tages for the opposition, the McDon-
aid cause would have triumphed in
ratio approximately two to one.
The Doctor also says that from one
fact all of us can gain great satisfac-
ton. Every one of the more than 21O,-
900 votes with which we were credited
was actually cast and was in the
box
Nj. Thomas must object to the i'm
plIcations. Continuing his article the
editor says: "To begin with, Doctor
Mcdonald was defeated, and, we
think. fairly True, some precincts
may have been operated on a crooked
basis, but there is no just reason to
assume that all crooks were on the
Hocy side. Certainly there must have
been some advocates of DR.. McDon-
aid, who have no Scruples against
'stuffing' a ballot box.
True, the Hoey candidacy had the
regular organization behind it with all
its power and means of getting voters
to the polls. But this was. true in the
case of Dr. Mcdonald, whose support
ers were no less ardent. AS a matter
Of fact, there may have been certain
cases Of fraud, as will develop in any
election regardless of the candidates.
"All The Journal knows with ac-
curacy is what took place in Rich
mond county. We can say truthfully
that the result here was based All
solutely unquestionably on the actual
number of legal ballots cast" The
Journal editor then pays his tribute
to his rival, Ike London, and con-
cludes: "The vote here, although re-
gistered strongly in the name of DR..
Mcdonald, was bitterly opposed by
Ike and other HOey people. But the
count was based on nothing except
the actual number of votes cast for
each candidate. If all the rest of
North Cardinals balloting were as
fairly counted as the vote here, there
would be no cause for complaint
