The Humane Society and the Chill

Under the provisions Of the act ap-
proved yesterday, the former Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will
DO promptly recognized, and will extend
its operations to the protection of helpless
and abused children. 1t is expected that
a large accession to its members will soon
result. There is q strong belief among
many that children are at least entitled to
equal consideration with dumb animals,
and this act is intended to enforce that
sentiment. Heretofore there has been no
statute law whatever in force in this dis
trict bearing upon this subject and the
present act 10 the outcome OF long.con-
tinued effort on the part of few citizens
who have interested themselves in the
matter.
