Cruelty to Animals. There should be in every well ulated town a society for the vention of cruelty to animals, town is badly in need of such J ciety. There is ample law on the ute books for the prevention of -:-s?rueity> but what is everybody's iness is nobody's business, and consequence there are numerous ?ations cf this law which are n punished. It is no uncommon sight for a < pied horse or mule to be seen on streets which is wholly unfit for vt and these animals should eithe] killed, or their owners should be ( pelied to have them treated t competent veterinarian, where t is hope of permanent improvem Stock is frequently brought to t and is hitched in some lot, whei is forced to remain sometimes an tire day and far into the night v, out a drop of water, or a bite to During the heated term an ani thus treated suffers untold agony, the people responsible there! should be punished. In many to and cities in the country, member; the society for the prevention of < elty to animals look out for such a ? and when they are found they h the animals taken to a feed sta where they are fed and watered the owner's expense, and he is w? ed that if the offense if repeated, will be prosecuted and punishm imposed. We are told by a responsible c zen, that during the progress of Haggard meeting he saw a m which was hitched four hours ai time, without food or water, and the owner professed to be deeply ercised over the effect which he T; deriving from the meeting. In or< for religion to be genuine, it must consistent, and a man who wo' treat his beast of burden in t manner cannot have the grace of G in his heart. Moreover, we have 1 words of Holy Writ to bear out 1 above statement "that a merci: man is merciful to his beast," a the converse of this proposition mi be equally true, that if he is not m ciful to his beast, he is not a mer ful man; and what is man withe mercy?-Gaffney Ledger. The Only Honest Way. In the midst of hurly burly noise and fury of random talk a: intemperate recrimination over t proposed "beer and light win amendment to the Volstead Act, it a relief and satisfaction to discov a sane discussion of the subject bo: of straight thinking. Such a discv sion is provided by the Dallas ^(Te as) Morning News, published in community where the amendme seems to have become an issue in tl congressional campaign. And the ni of what The Morning News says this: There are some people who be^ that it would be well to permit tl manufacture and sale of beer ar light wines. But if their belief is 1 command respectful consideration must be presented in the form of proposal to amend or recast th Eighteenth Amendment. Only thos who adopted it are competent so t amend or fashion the Volstead Ac so as to permit the sale of beer an wnies without violating the oat which its members take. A proposs so to amend the constitution woul be entitled to respectful considera tion even from those who would b sternly opposed to amend the Vol stead Act so as to permit the sale o beer or light wines i? not entitled t< respectful consideration because it i a proposal to have congress do some thing which the constitution forbid! -it.to do. This is clear and right to the point It is an absolutely correct interpreta tion of the situation, and it ought tc have wide currency. It :is the inter pretation The Free Press endeavor ed to set forth in its columns some time ago when the American Federa tion of Labor heads made their pro nouncement in favor of an alterna tion of the Volstead Act. Such an amendment by congress would be a violation of public trust, a defiance of public-mandate and a legislative lie. For as long as beer and light wines are in fact intoxicating-and nobody can deny that thousands have become drunk by imbibing them-no statutory fiction can make them other wise. To attempt to say that they are otherwise would be puerile stultifi cation. If mild intoxicants are to be re instated in the United, States, let the reinstatement be done decently, hon estly and in the way provided by the fundamental law. If the "wets" try to get what they want by proceeding in a proper manner they will at least be entitled, as the Morning News says, "to respectful consideration," from which their present tactics bar them.-Detroit Freepress.'. Anti-Semitism in Colleges. In a recent letter on the problem of anti-Semitism in the colleges of the country, President Lowell, of Harvard University, recently said: "First ,the spread of anti-Semitism is fraught with very grave perils for the community. Second, ' the anti Semitic feeling among the students is increasing." There is no doubt that this prob j lem on anti-Semitism is colleges is of far less importance to the Jews than to the colleges. In a very timely editorial on this subject, The New York American says: A college whose methods of in struction are incapable of eradicat ing a stupid injustice had better go out of business. A college that even tolerates within its walls a sentiment that is fraught with very grave perils for the community should be prompt ly suppressed. "A man of unbiased mind, free of hatred and of racial partiality, is of greater value to every community than a man who knows ancient Greek. "To discuss what percentage of Jewish students in a college would be "safe" or "wise" is so absurd that it is a wonder intelligent men ean be induced to take part in it. A student in an American college who has a prejudice against receiving an edu cation by the side of Jews or Cath olics or Methodists or Irishmen or Italians on account of their religion or race, and whose mind cannot' be freed from this prejudice by united efforts of the expensive faculty, whose salaries are to a great extent paid by the good will of the Ameri can people, ought instantly to be ex pelled. "If our seats of learning degener ate into seats of prejudice 'fraught with very grave perils for the com munity,' the community is very like ly to wipe them out."-Charleston American. Buttermilk Hens Lead. For February the most notable change in the Southern California Farm Bureau egg-laying contest was the raising of the dried milk albumen pen from sixth to third place. The fresh buttermilk pen and the dried skim-milk pen still hold first and sec ond places, respectively The highest production for the month was made by the dried milk albumen pen, with a production of 58.32 per cent. The standing of the pens to date shows that the buttermilk pen has produced 40.22 per bird, the dried skim-milk .pen 35.95 eggs per bird; dried milk albumen pen. 33.24 eggs per bird, the pen receiving semi-solid diluted 1 to 2 31.16, the check pen 31, the pen receiving semisolid diluted 1 to 25 30.66 and the two pens receiving lac tein^and semisolid, each diluted 1 to 25, in addition to the ration fed in the check pen, have both produced slight ly over 28 eggs per bird. The work has not advanced far enough to war rant the drawing of any conclusions. -California Cultivator. j A la Hashimura Togo. There's a flavor of Hashimura Togo in a political announcement carried by the Edgefield Advertiser, which, omitting the signature, is as follows: "To relieve my solicitous and other expectant friends, that I will not be in the coming primary elec tion, may I not say, the interest man ifested in my behalf is very pleasing. "Popular with the people at one time and scored victory over many worthy ' opponents which success I hold in high memory. Since that time conditions political have wrought in kind, phases in which I am not in ac cord and incompatible, and which would inevitably preclude me from the enjoyment in that field of politi cal glory. I shall not speak of those conditions, which exist still, but if continued will prove disastrously to what the people expect."-The State. WINTHROP COLLEGE i Scholarship and Entrance Exami nation.
