T o d a y'| A !\ok (> or ill a. Bertrand Russell. Fighter. If olves Not Dogs. Non flying Duel;. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ %Another gorilla is coming here, a lady coming along taking care of h m. Such animals usually die— of homesickness, their keepers say -shortly after they land. They die, perhaps, because of the unpleasant pressure on their feeble minds. See this new gorilla if you can. Look at his huge jaw, big teeth, wide chest, arms and hands uncom fortably like your own. Observe his terrific power and you will know why your breed rules : ho earth instead of his breed. He was so strong that it wasn't neces sary for him to think. Your an cestors were so weak that they had to tjiink or die. They decided to think, and their descendants shot and caged the gorillas as easily as he would kill a fly. You will read that Bertrand Rus sell, now here, favors the league of nations; thinks it chnnot func tion properly until the United States comes in, and hopes that the t’nited States will come in. Mr. Russell puts truth above pro paganda and the league. Some don’t. It may interest you to know what he said yesterday: “I am hound to confess that if 1 were an American, I should prob ably not want to see the United •States go into the league of na tions,-and hiight offer many rea sons wdiy the United States should not go into the league of nations.’’ When you hear Bertrand Russell railed a pacifist, bear in mind that be is a fighting pacifist. He believes that fighting should be done men tally, hut it is not likely that any man would excel him in either phy sical or mental courage in a mo ment of danger. lie believes that war can be ended, hut' thinks the only agency that could end it at this moment, would lie one of super power, great enough to impose peace upon smaller nations by its own will. Mr. Russell is no dreamer. He says frankly that England does not dare talk to France as she would like to talk, because France domi nates the air. And when you ask *him what he would do if lie ruled British polio' -^p doesn't say that he would sitSiown in pacifist fash ion, and tupf the other check. He • ays, "I would build a fighting air fleet equal to that of France.” On the whole, if you listen care fully to Mr. Russell while he is here, instead of talking at him, you will learn a good deal. RaKy Guy Stillman, little boy of whom you may have heard—-lies in bed seriously injured, mangled by a big police dog, “the little boy’s playmate.” ^ Sooner or later adults will learn that the police dog was chosen to pursue criminals and tear them down, because lie is closely related to the wolf, ferocious by nature and always dangerous. No child is safe with a police dog, and for that matter others arc not rafe. A vise citizen would no more let a police dog live in the neighbor hood of his children than he would • How a wolf to run at large. This applies to a less extent to iomc other dogs, lrtit to police dogs especially. The worst of it is that the older they get. and the more attached the family becomes to them, the more dangerous they are. Dr. Chapman, excellent scientific worker for the American Museum of Natural History, reti rns from Mm Andes Anountains bringing a bird that brays iike a donkey and a duck that can’t fly. Refold amazement carries you way at the thought of a duck that vin't fly, ask yourself how many uiman beings there are that can't hink. One concern tells young gentle men in Chicago university it will do their thinking for them, at so much per “thought,” and there is ■'feat indignation at that. How many young gentlemen come out of uiTis orsities with brains and thoughts y ■ much alike as so many litt-lr biscuits, fresh from the oven? How many that never went to college have their thoughts and ‘'opinions" manufactured for them? Of 20,000,000 democrats and re publicans, 19,000,000 inherit their beliefs, just as they inherit the color of their skin. Major Putnam, a great hook pub lisher, spends his 80th birthday at work. And there can lie no more useful work than that to which Major Putnam has devoted -o many years of his life. Thanks to him, tens of millions'have read his bonks of high character, purpose and edu cational value. To feed men’s stomachs is good work. To feed their brains is a thousand times^ more important. When their brains are fed they can attend to the rest of themselves. Earnest men and women advo cate a plan to combine many little country public schools in one big central public school, providing omnibuses nt public expense to carry children that live far away. At first glance the idea seems excel lent, and it may be excellent— since it would include teachers bet ter paid, schools better built. Something would be lost also. Those that remember the country school, with the wood box by the front door, the lane where the little girls walked, the field where the boys rushed shouting "inner, pitcher, ticker," at the recess hour, know that the simplest rural school house has qualities possessed by no other institution on earth. For tunately, not all such schools will be done away with in any case. (Copyright, 19:M. > Tenant Sues Farm Owner fur Damages fur Injury Albion, A’eb., April 4.— I >. .1. (bites has been sued for $r»0,000 damages by James S. Stephens, one of his tenants. On January 26, the plaintiff alleges, lie went into an outside cel lar on the farm he occupied and while he was there the walls caved in, crushing him under a load of dirt, llis injuries left him permanently paralyzed. He claims the accident was caused by negligence on the part of the defendant. 1 1 "DON'T MAKE a MISTAKE" FRUIT CENTER Jackson 5131. Hll leavenworth >t. SPECIALS FOR SATURDAY Fresh Fgga, tlo*. .
