Today Chacma Is Stuffed. S. I). Mundheim Arrives. 1100(1.000 More of I s. J. S. Sargent, a Good Man. By ARTHUR BRISBANE, v___/ The big Chaoma baboon shot in the monkey house the other daV after he had killed his inoffensive brother, the ring-tailed monkey, has gone to the Museum of Natural History* There he will stand stuffed. One of these days for the edifica tion of children of a more civilized i*ee, they may put wax figures of Alexander, Ceasar and Napoleon alongside the stuffed baboon with this sign, “Children, respect this baboon. He killed only one ring tailed monkey, the other three killed millions.” Bernard F. Gimbel, who, with his father, uncles, brother and cousins, run several big department stores, informs business men of New York, through this column that there is a real competitor in town. This new department store man who will run the old established house of Stern Brothers, is Samuel D. Mundheim of Pittsburgh. “He will make all the New' Y^ork store keepers take notice,” says Mr. Gim bel. Department stores become daily more important, not only* in the service of the public, but in the opinion of high finance. Men with money realize that for steel, oil, copper, you have few customers. For a well-run department store ^^^«u have a big percentage of the ■^^innual income of the United States, and money pours in every day. [Marshall Field & Co., in Chicago, do a total business of more than J150,000,000. The department store is only starting. The population of the United States has increased by 8,000,000 during the past five years. There are 111,000,000 of us now. When the ill-informed suggest that popu k lation will outgrow the country, [don't worry. The state of Texas alone under intensive cultivation could feed easily 2,000,000,000 human beings, about 400,000,000 more than there are on earth wow. As for the ignorant man who fays “more population will reduce wages," n*k him how it happens that, when there were only 4,000 - 000 people in the United State* wages averaged less than 40 cents a day, wherens with 100,000,000 they average close to $4? John Singer Sargent died sud denly in London yesterday morn ing. He was a good painter and a good man. If he meets his maker face to face, as Tennyson expected to do, he will be able to say truly, "I did the best that I could with the talent and power that you gave me.” Sargent will not stand among the first 10 or the first 50 of 100 best painters. The human race does only one thing at a time really well. This is the age of science, not of art. But Sargent was the best portrait painter of his day. He saw the “inside” of human heads and hearts. He could paint the London art deal er with his French poodle standing beside him and show clearly in the dog’s face the good qualities lack ing in the dog’s owner. That’s something. Painleve will be French prime minister. Herriot, lately prime minister, will be in the new cabinet, which will include two other social ists. Socialism has real power in France and there is real discipline in the socialist party. Painleve could not become prime minister without the socialists’ con sent. And the three socialists could not enter the new cabinet except with their party’s consent. This may explain to angry conservatives the few pleasant words said about Herriot by President Coolidge. The president is acquainted with French politics. Bernard Shaw says the soul isn’t a human - institution exclusively, and dogs, or even beetles, may have souls. G. K. Chesterton, deeply re ligious and a Roman Catholic, ob jects to that view. He doesn’t think that the highly intelligent wolf, humbly listening to the preachings of St. Francis, had a soul to save, and adds, “We do not know that the hyena desires eternal life.” Many who have found this life unsatisfactory will say, “Intelligent hyena, he knows when he has had enough.” Von Hindenberg, fine old fighting general of the Hohenzollern days, but a poor head for a German re public, is running as the Hohenzol lern candidate. The idea is that he will keep “devotion to the kaiser alive until the kaiser's grandson is old enough to take the throne.” Hindenberg requested the kaiser to free him from his oath of loy alty to the imperial flag that he might run for president of the German republic without perjuring himself. He was freed, of course, and is now running to keep the old Hohenzollern throne warm for the son of the crown prince. If Von Hindenberg should he elected president, which seems un likely, conditions would change Germany. The German republic, like the United States republic, is a democ racy managed by industrial and financial intelligence for the gen eral welfare, and especially for in dustrial and financial welfare. Any effort to bring hack a grand son of the ‘‘all highest” would change conditions, perhaps dis astrously. The Hohenzollerns well know that there is no hope for the former kaiser or his son, both of them hav ing been so conspicuous in the los ing of the war, neither of them having got a scratch in the process. Just why a grandson should be better than the former kaiser him self is hard to understand. (Copyright, 1925.)
