CRUELTY TO HORSES.

The law for the prevention of cruelty
to animals applies TO horses in races, as
we'll as to animals on the streets. or any
where else.
On many race tracks the law has been
rigidly enforced and heavy penalties have
been inflicted for Its violation. Such APP
planes as electric saddles and other ar
tifcial methods of irritating horses to un-
natural exertion are strictly forbidden on
all we'll regulated courses and owners or
Jockeys who resort to them are severely
punished.
Many of those who witnessed the races
at Piedmont park Wednesday were pro-
voked to indignation by the spectacle of
a driver slashing numerically mare who
was trying to the limit Of her speed to
keep up with horse that outclassed her.
The faithful little animal bent down
to her work with a vim and patient en-
durance that were truly heroic, but the
driver rained upon her storm of blows
from heavy whip such as the stubborn
est and toughest mule would hardly de-
serve. This cruel beating was continued
down the long stretch in front Of the
grand stand, and the judges pavilion and
for a longer distance. The animal must
have suffered severely, as the lashes
seemed suficient to draw the blood from
her.
The punishment did not increase her
speed, for she was going as fast as 1t
seemed possible for her to move.
1t was an act that should not have been
permitted in a civilized community and
we hope that nothing like 1t win ever be
seen at Piedmont park again, or anywhere
else in Atlanta for that matter.
If a policeman had stepped on the track
while this cruelty was going on and
stopped it, he would have been cheered
by at least some Of the spectators and
would have deserved the thanks Of the
community.
1t seems to us that the Judges ought to
interfere in such cases, and If they fail
to do so. the police authority should GER
tainiy be invoked and exercised.

A EAIrH CURE DECISION.

For some years past there has been in
some states quite an agitation over the
question as to whether persons claiming
10 heal by faith should be permitted to
practice on patients and have control of
them.
A few days ago this question was set
tied so far as Indiana authorities are
concerned.
The supreme court of that state has
declared that no other method OF treat
ing disease or affiiction. except those pre-
scribed by the recognized and established
schools of medicine shall be legal This
decision has offended many people IN In
diana and some of them will appeal TO the
United States courts on the ground that
their constitutional rights have been in
vaded.
They claim that the court has trespass-
ed upon their religious beliefs. to the
full exercise of which they are entitled
by a law which no state can interfere
with.
It is very questionable whether any
such sweeping decree as that Of the In
diana supreme court can stand. 1t is GER
tain 20 be the subject OF legal contest
that will extend to the highest court of
the country. and there win be a rush OF
opinions and contentious on both sides of
the issue.

JUST AS WE EXPECTED.

Though we regret the fact. of course,
we are not surprised that the incompe-
tency OF the Cuban people for self-govern-
ment Is already becoming evident, though
only a few weeks have elapsed since the
reins were placed In their hands.
True, no serious disorders have as yet
disturbed the island, but other. and prob
ably more serious. menaces Of the young
republic have appeared.
When Cuba was turned over to its own
authorities its cities and town which, un-
der Spanish rule. had been nests and
breeding places OF disease were models
Of cleanliness. Yellow fever, which had
for many years never been absent from
these localities. had been completely
stamped out, and Havana presented the
miracle Of a death-rate lower than any
city OF fits size in the United States.

of occupation left in Cuba were destined
to disappear almost simultaneously with

THE Full DINNER PAIL.

In the presidential campaign OF 1896 and
in that OF 1900 the Republicans made the
full dinner pail one of their chief rally
ing cries. They are not making so much
fuss over the dinner pail in the present
campaign. but IL is in evidence, and
great deal Is being thought and said about
what Il costs TO fiji it-much more than II
formerly cost, and much more than It
would cost now but for the trusts which
have been made possible by the protective
tariff.
The state of Massachusetts, has bu-
reau of statistics which publishes great
deal of reliable and accurate information,
and IN its latest reports we find how the
cost Of living has increased since 1897
One Of the heaviest increases has come
In the price Of meat, mainly because of
the operation OF the cattle trust, and the
cattle trust exists and thrives because
we practically exclude beef from Mexico
and South America.
Beef ranges from eos to So per cent
higher in value.
Fore quarters Of mutton are $3.50 per
cent more valuable than years ago.
Fresh pork shows 20 per cent gain.
and saited port SOS per cent.
Sausages are up 1877 per cent
Lard has gone up in like proportion. The
oleomargarine act has caused great fin
crease in the price Of butter for the ben
eft of the dairy trust, and has increased
the cost Of living for the millions who use
oleomargarine and like Il because 1t is
wholesome. palatable and was much
cheaper than butter before the special leg
islation that has been inflicted upon II.
In the last hve years the cost of living
has increased 40 per cent? but while wages
may have increased some, they certainly
have not advanced 40 per cent.
