Smart Animals

What is the smartest animal?
The dog, says DR.. w. Reid Blair,
director of New York city's Bronx
zoo! He points to dogs long asso-
citation with humans, their adapta-
bility, ability to endure hardships,
faithfulness and willingness to for
give. DR.. Blair picks the CHM
panzee and orang-utang as the
smartest wild animals. The nerv-
Gus chimpanzee wastes little time
on a problem, solves it quickly or
gives up. The methodical orang-
utang will spend hours at one
problem, never giving up if it is
within his mental powers to solve.

An American Mandarin

IN 1859 TAPPING rebels had almost
L overthrown the Manchu dynasty
in China. Fifteen of the eighteen
provinces had been captured when
Frederick T. Ward, a 28-year-old
sailor from Salem, Mass, quit his
ship and offered to put down the
revolution-if they would pay him
$4,000 for each city recaptured.
The rebels were knocking at the
gates of Shanghai when the Manchu
leaders agreed to young Wards
price and allowed him to train his
own army. He recruited his men
from among the human derelicts
around the wharves, but he instilled
in them the discipline he had
learned as a soldier in the French
army during the Crimean war.
Then, at the head of 500 men, and
with a pistol in each hand, he or
dered an attack on Sungkiang, held
by 5000 rebels. His men fought
hand to hand on the top of the city
wall and held it by tossing over the
bodies of TAPPING soldiers. In "a
hours Manchu re-enforcements ar
rived. When the battle was over,
Ward had only 1913 men left and 100
of them were wounded. But he had
earned his first $4,000 and wide
reputation as military leader.
He continued to fight, successfully
taking the city of Singpo by outma-
neuvering 10000 TAPPING rebels.
When they again threatened Shang-
hal, he drove 10000 of them back 10
miles with a force of only $500.
Then he took the city of Quanfuling.
Ward was made mandarin and
his fame spread throughout the en-
pire. Soon he was able to increase
his well-trained army to 5000 men,
besides piling up a huge fortune.
He had been wounded five times,
but in September, 1862, in a battle
at Tseki, he was hit for the sixth
time and killed. The Chinese
mourned him as national hero and
buried him in the Temple of Confu-
ciuS at Sungkiang.

Eskimo Heroine

IN 1921, science attempted to find
out whether man could live on
the otherwise uninhabited islands of
the Arctic. The experiment proved
more. II: revealed to the world
the calm heroism of Ada Blackjack,
who viii be remembered as the
most courageous woman of the Es-
kimo race.
Four men were landed with a
years supplies on Wrangel island,
10 miles north of Siberia in the
Arctic. Ada Blackjack went along
as seamstress, cook and servant
One year later relief ship was to
pick them up.
The year passed but ice foes
blocked the relief ship. Lorne
knight, one of the four men, became
i'll with scurvy. The other three left
on a trek across the ice to Siberia
to send a rescue party. No one ever
heard of them again.
Left alone with Knight, Ada
Blackjack went through eight
months more of mental torture. For
! two months she nursed him. Then
he died.
The relief ship finally came. They
found her still keeping the diary
that Knight had turned over to her
when he could no longer hold a
pencil.
One entry in the diary read: "God
is the only one who will brought me
home again." God did not fail the
faith and persistent courage that
enabled Ada Blackjack to face a
seemingly hopeless situation with
out breaking.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
by
Elmo Scott Watson
Historic Footrace

nv HEN Capt. John Whistler ar
w rived on the shores of Lake
Michigan in 1903 to build military
post-Fort Dearborn of tragic MEM
ory-one of the subalterns in his
command was his son, Lieut.. Will
liam Whistler. Young Whistler was
more than six feet tall and famous
for his strength and endurance.
A frequent visitor at Fort Dear
born was a young Pottawatomie
chief, the champion runner of the
tribe. Believing that Lieutenant
Whistler was just the man to spoil
the Indians record, the officers at
the fort proposed five-mile foot
race between the two men to which
they readily agreed.
The race was a thriller. At the
start the Pottawatomie sprang into
the lead and held it for almost the
entire distance. But near the end
young Whistler managed to close
the gap between them and by a
final burst of speed plunged across
the finish line several yards ahead
of his rival.
The race had an exciting sequel.
During the War of 1912 the same
Pottawatomie chief, who was now
an ally of the British, sent chal-
lenge for a hand-to-hand combat
with Whistler or any other officer
or soldier in the American army.
Whistler promptly accepted. 1t was
agreed that no firearms were to be
used.
The fight began. Whistler lodged
the tomahawk that was hurled at
him and closed in on his opponent.
The Indian stabbed at him with his
long hunting knife but missed. Then
the ieutenant's sword finished the
duel.

THE PRESIDENT
PREFERS

(Christian Science Monltor)
President Roosevelt thinks it will do
the Democratic Party no good to noml-
nate a conservative in 1910. His already
familiar conviction that the party should
have liberal candidate was made en-
phatic in his message to the Young DEM
ocratic clubs Wednesday night.
"If we are to have 4 reactionary re-
gime or if that term is too horrlflc, call
it a conservative regime, you may de-
pend on it that it will be the other tel-
lows regime, he said
Political history since 1900 bears him
out. When the Democrats nominated
Judge Alton B. Parker in 1904 as rest
from Organism they lost more heavily
than with the Commoner before or after
In 1924 they accomplished little 10y of
fering a kind of Democratic Coolidge IN
John W. Davis.
Notwithstanding Mr. Rooseyelt's warn
ing. James A Farley, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, pre-
dicted at the same meeting that the next
President would be 4 DemOcrat-without
specifying what Democrat or what kind
of Democrat. The Presidents liberal
proteges, such as Robert Jackson and
Harry Hopkins, have fallen rather flat
in political appeal, and if Mr.. Farley
believes the party can win with himself.
Vice President Garner or some other
relative conservative at the head of the
ticket, it must be on the basis Of party
organization Possibly he is in Il posi-
tion to know.
But if the country wants conserva-
tive administration, and if the Republi-
cans can find any plausible candidate,
it seems a pretty fair guess that voters
will pick a party experienced in giving
conservative administrations.

MAKING A BUGAB00
OUT OF LOBBYING

In most state capitals generally, in
Sacramento particularly, and in Wash
jngton perenially, lobbyists and lobby
ing organizations are undergoing run
ming fire Of criticism, regulation and sus-
picion.
In Sacramento just now the state ad-
ministration is lambasting the California
State Chamber Of Commerce for its lob
bying" activities What made the state
chamber Of commerce unpopular with
the administration was its campaign Tor
government economies and reduced taxes.
Economy is not part of the administra-
TONS program.
The only reason politicians are able
to raise an effective hue and cry against
lobbying is that it is something so far
removed from the life of the average
person il assumes a strangeness which
automatically makes it matter of sus-
picion.
What is lobbying?
1t is the effort of person or a group
of persons to present their arguments
in favor of pending legislation, or in
favor Of proposed legislation, and to OBJ
tain passage of the legislation.
Certainly it is within the privilege of
any American to ask his legislative rep
resentative to vote for any law, just as
ii is the privilege of any citizen to tell
his representative why he favOrS the
law in question. That is what lobbying,
reduced to its simplest terms, represents.
Lobbying, however, has taken on
more specialized aspect in this day OF
specialization. There are experts who de-
vote their time, and are paid for 1t, to
presenting arguments in favor OF leglS-
lation their clients may wish adopted,
or against legislation their clients do not
like. This fact does not change the basic
complexion of lobbying. If an individual,
firm or organization opposes legislation,
and hires an expert to present its reasons
for opposition, the fact remains that this
so-called lobbying is absolutely demo-
cratic in principle.
There is another phase to this lobby
ing Lobbyists, under the system of spe-
cialization, are experts in the matters
they attempt to influence. Senator's and
assemblymen, regardless of the power
of their various minds, cannot possibly
be experts on every one of the thousands
of matters presented for their conSidera-
ton The wise lawmaker, knowing his
own ignorance on the subject under con-
sideration, can go to the expert lobby
ist who faVorS the legislation, and there
obtain arguments why it should be pass
ed. Then he can go to the lobbyist who
opposes the same proposal, and listen
to arguments against it. After that,
given logical mind, he is a poor law
maker if he cannot arrive at his own
decision much more wisely than he could
in absolute ignorance of the arguments
for either side.
Lobbyists, as a whole, are not vicious
hangers-on, but are a worthwhile part
of the governmental structure. AS SUCH
they should be recognized, officially reg
istered, and accepted for what they are
worth-much as are consulting engi-
neerS.
