Of course it Is what constitutes cruelty to animals that is t tho lAlltfla o# o.l. .1 " ? uc IU-1IUO Ui VUI OV/I * \ O|l'/llVIvlll0? In Lr'ef this Is our rcp:v. Whoe/e.* Inflicts upon them, or mouses them to suffer, unnecessary What unnecessary pain is, la not so easily answered. The vegetarian believes that all slaughtering ? rn.mals f<. f? od is a *.au??ix< rf vnnecessary pvn But whet 5* we are vege tarie.ns or not we all know, or ought to know, that our present methods or f slaughter in the vast majority ol sases Involve an enormous amount <.f wholly needless suffor ng?a vorhl of pain outmeasuring in volume all other forms of Buffering on the creatures below us. But to be specific we should say, for example, that whoever drives a horse or works him when his condition is such that he cannot be driven or worked without suffering is guilty of cruelty. To use a horse with a part of the harness rubbing on a galled or sore Bpot, or when he Is lame, or to drive him over a hard pavement unshod, or over icy and slippery pavements so shod that he can get no footing; to leave him standing unblanketod in cold and stormy weather; to us a bridlo on him where the blinders crowd in upon his eyes, or the cheekrein Is drawn tight enough to distress him. or the bit tortures him; to use a collar so small that it chokes him, or so large that it plays about, his neck ?these are some of the things the general statute is designed to prevent as cruelty. It should he remembered, however, that there are horses that can never be made to look as fat and wellrounded as others, just as there are pcwpiw ? UU [IUV W.I .WTO.. WW matter how much they out. Thee are horses also that limp from certain forms of mechanical lameness that do not cause pain any more than some forms of a similar lameness cause human beings pain. Roys with stiff knees, one leg shorter than the other, play ball, swim, run, and do many other things with a limping gait, but without physical pain. Then we should remember further that to render an act positively cruel, so far as the perpetrator is concerned, tlu re must be intent, or carelessness as to conditions with which ho ought to be familiar. No one should he allowed with any animal who is so ignorant, or stupid, or thoughtless as not to know when lie is causing it pain In general, to underfeed, overwork, fail to provide plenty of good fresh water at proper times, to neglect i care for properly in any way any animal in our possession, is cruelty, and compla'nts of such cruelty our society always welcomes and investigates. To pass by, unheeding its mute appeal, any suffering beast or l.ir.l is also cruel! v as well ns the blow or the ov?rt act that causes pain. If one were to lay down a broad rule which would answer o':r creation and prevent one from treating animals cruelly it would he something like to following: Put yourself in the animal's place, treat him as you would like him to treat you were all the circumstances reversed, lie who does this in his relations both with animals and men will come close to fulfilling that golden command on which hangs all the law of the prophets.?Published by The Massachuetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Fenway Station, Boston.

This effort takes vaI rious forms. We see it in increased banking facilities for the farmer, in t the chambers of agriculture and com! meroe, In co-operative societies, in t general markets. It is of further significance, as noted by Financial America, that at present in Chicago r a banker-farmer convention is being j held.

The secret of the-poplarty Colonel Bryau haa been enjoyng throughout the country has been n the demonstrated admiration for lim on part of the gentler sex. This idmiratlon has been so decidedly of ;he unubatable character that hun ireus 01 husbands have had to bow o it in self-defense. Among a largo portion of the woman population of he South Bryan has been in a way in idol. But it lias been more evilent that the women will stand for 10 man who shows an inclination to lesert Wilson, or in any way attack lim. On that point they are as one n condemnation of Colonel Bryan. 3y most of them his resignation is ousidered timely und Justifiable, nit his subsequent actions and ipeecb have worked to their disapjointment and have aroused their lecided disapprobation. The general lentiment seems to be embodied in me letter which regretted newspaper attacks on Colonel Bryan for his esiguation, but admitted that there vas "no other way of meeting the lituation when Colonel Bryan's conluet in inviting a perference as betseen himself and President Wilson True, anil you get more than value I 11 received each issue in the news ( items alone.

On the contrary, hat is just why The Observer places nore than ordinary value upon thes-> otters it is writing about.
