some of the strange creatures that have come
to light even since the New York Geological
Park was founded But the world has grown
very small in the last few years and railroad
trains run through parts OF Africa that were
virtually impenetrable not long ago.
That we will add host of small creatures
to the scientific lists | don't doubt for a
minute. The technical geological journals fire.
quently describe new species. However, l
doubt very much if we are going to see any
new animals of the importance, say. of
lion, bear. giraffe or an elephant
Now for the second part Of the question -
whether we are likely to see for the first
time alive some great animal already we'll
known to science. All l can say. as curator
in great geological park, is that sincerely
hope so! For there are any number of really
important animals which for one reason or
another have never been exhibited in any
geological park. or at best have been ex-
hibited so rarely that they would be the
proudest possessions of any garden that OBJ
tanned them.
AS said above, few great animals have
burst upon the scientific world in the last
few years. The greatest of these was probably
the okapi that Sir Harry H. Johnston dis
covered in the heart of Africa in 1901. An
animal that looks like cross between giraffe
and zebra is certainly startling enough to
excite both public and scientists, and the in
terest that was aroused at the beginning Of
the century when Sir Harry sent hide and
a skeleton to London was still lively when
the London Geological Garden exhibited

that may be that hardy perennial of the
animal kingdom, the missing link"
The quest for the new, the strange and the
rare will never end - but what is there left
to discover? Up to now, about 140OO recog-
nized forms of mammals alone have been
named scientifically Can we of this late day
ever hope to have the thrill of adding some
thing to that great catalogue, or even of
seeing alive for the first time some strange

creature whose classification rests merely on
the evidence of skin and skeleton in
museum?
Well, the question is double one and the
answer has to be double, too. Personally,
l doubt very much if any really important
mammals are still roaming the waste places
of the world or buried in the steaming jungle
waiting to be introduced to science That
may be rash statement when remember

its first specimen only a few months ago.
AS far back as 1890 biologists heard about
the okapi through the writings of Stanley,
but nobody paid much attention to his few
comments on a strange donkey or ''atti,"
in his book, I'm Darkest Africa"
The matter stood right there for few
years until Sir Harry sent a few strips of
okapi hide to London, where the scientists
were misled by the stripes on the fragments
and announced that it was a new kind of
forest zebra. Finally Sir Harry got complete
skeleton and hide and sent them to London.
And then, of course, they were recognized
for what they were - the frame and clothing
of an animal really new to science.
remember we'll the day in 1905 when
tiny African elephant arrived at the New
York Geological Park and, having been cap
tured in the French Congo, was appropri-
atey named Congo" There was some con-
troversy at that time about the exact classifi-
cation of our elephant, but our pleasure in
him was redoubled later when it appeared
that ours was really a new type Of elephant -
an authentic pigmy species. That, certainly,
was new discovery of importance.
1t is no uncommon thing for new reptiles
to come to light should say that fully 100
new forms of North American snakes alone
have been put on the systematic lists in the
more than thirty-fve years that l have had
charge of the reptiles at the Geological Park
Some have arrived at that distinction merely
by change of nomenclature, of course, but

ROOSEVELT AND
LANDON TWIN AGENTS
OF WALL STREET
Socialism Way Out

KENOSHA, Wis.-At meeting
of the national campaign commit
tee of the Socialist party, chair
named by Mayor Daniel w. Hoan,
George A. Nelson, Socialist candi-
date for vice president, discussed
the agricultural plank of the Re-
publican party and severely criti-
cized it.
"The plank on agriculture which
the Republican convention used
more words than any other plank
and said nothing" declared Mel
son.
"The preamble Of the plank con-
fesses that there is no difference
between the Republicans and the
Democrats and that if the Repub-
icans are elected they would con-
tinue to do exactly what the Demo-
Gratis are now doing. We Social
it's knew that before, but we are
surprised to find the Republicans
admitting it.
Would Increase Foreclosures
"Several of the items in the plan
state that the Republican solution
to the agricultural problem is to
encourage the farmer to produce
still more; to cause two blades of
grass to grow where only one
blade grew before. The plank says
not one word about the cost of
production. If the farmer is to
produce still more at less than the
cost of production, then he will
lose more than he is losing now
and go broke more quackly. The
Republican proposal would Increase
the number of farm foreclosures.
"The second major suggestion is
that the farmer be saved by the
federal farm loan banks. These
banks were first set up before the
war and the farmers aren't saved
yet. Today the federal farm loan
banks are foreclosing more mort
cages and dispossessing more
farmers than any other individual,
agency or corporation in the coun-
try. More foreclosures seem to be
all the Republicans offer. We have
had enough of this kind of relief.
"The remainder of the Repub-
lican plank on agriculture deals
with such points as soil conserva-
ton, which is not controversial;
payment of bounties to farmers,
which is just the old AAA in COP
closing; and the passage of more
Republican tariffs. We had the
Republican tariff under Hoover
and it did not save the farmer.
Sidesteps Main Issues
"The farmer today is losing his
farm and his means of living be-
cause he is not secure on his farm,
and because he receives less than
the cost of production. The Re-
publican platform carefully side
steps these two issues and assures
the farmer that if the Republicans
are placed in power, they will do
exactly what the Democrats have
been doing.
"The Socialist platform faces
these two issues squarely, and it
guarantees the farmer that under
a Socialist administration he will
be secure in the possession of a
family-sized farm and that ne
will receive the cost of production
for his products. It points out
why anything less than Socialism
can bring no permanent relief to
farmers. 1t is only under Social
ism that the farmer can secure
the more abundant life.
