WHAT CONSTITUTES
CRUELTY?
+
? l??H H??> >
We are often asked to give an answer
to tho nutation contained In
this caption. 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.
Knockers?Attention.
If you work for a man, In heaven's
name work for him. If he pays
you wages that supply your bread
and butter, work for him; speak well
of him; stand by him and by the Institution
he represents. If put to ti
pinch, an ounce of loyalty is wort!
a pound of cleverness. If you musi
vlllify, condemn and eternally dis
parage, why, resign your position
when you are outside damn to you
heart's content; but as long as yoi
are a part of the institution, do no
condemn it. If you do, you are loos

The duty of tho paper 13 to supply e

to advocate the cause of community v

You are an important part of the c

But are you doing one single thing "
to requite the paper for all of its toll '
and expense in your behalf?

You take the paper, you say.
and it is elaborated in this way:
"The tnwn is built on farm profits:
r,n what farmers produce in excess of 1
their home needs. Town? are places
to store and distribute the world's
surplus products through the chan- 1
nels of commerce. There is but one
road to permanent city building-?
that r ad lead to the farm. When the
' ;:rv< t fields smile, towns wax fa*. :
and factories increase the pay roll." ;|

lho rausuge plant. More corn moans
? real mills. glucose factories, starch 1
factories. C'roamories fallow the dairy
< >w, and the truck patch calls for
the canning factory." Financial
America, in acknowledging the fores ;
of the contention that the farm is the '
factory behind our wealth, cites in
fuller recognition that in recent '
j years there is organized, co-operative
1 effort between the town man and ^
j the country man to see to it that the
efficiency of that factory is carried
j
I to its highest. 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. This convention is an expres(
sion of the nation's realization that

Not the least of the entertainuent
The Observer has been geting
out of the situation is derived
'rora the letters it receives from the

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

8et Off by Human Electricity. (
The theory that a man's body may
contain enough electricity to set off a
charge of explosive was put forward
by a British government expert on
combustible^ to account for an explosion
at Stowmaraet which resulted
In the death of four men. Majofr
Cooper-Key, the expert, expressed the
opinion that dne of the man had accumulated
electricity in his body, "ang!
not having earthed himself, a spark
passed through a dangerous commodity
and so caused ft to explode." He
adaea: "it was an exceptional accident,
wtxfdh could probably have beeaj
prevented by the Insertion of a metaf
stud In the worker's rubber overshoes^
.A regulation to this effect will protifl
ably be made In the future." ^
