Show D. LONG CLAIMS MEN ARE MORE SAVAGE THAN BEASTS New York, March 2. Dr. William J. Long, characterized as tho original "Nature Faker" by President Roosevelt, Roose-velt, says that men are more savage than bea3ts. Ho also absolves the wolf of the charge of ferocity. Speaking Speak-ing before Jie graduates of Drew Theological The-ological seminary here yesterday, Dr. Long said: "I have studied wolves for years and contrary to popular belief I never found a case where a human belnc was harmed by one. I am talking or tho North American wolf. There is another foolish notion that it is the biggest and ugliest brute of the pack who Is leader. That's untrue. It's always tho mother who Is leader, and her word goes. Animals are far leso savage than men. They do not struggle strug-gle with one another for food. There Is no survival of the fittest amon:; them. Unlike man, when he has a corner on food, he does not exact his last dollar of tribute. He shares unselfishly with his fellow creatures." |
