CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

A good farmer said at the court
house Monday that The COMMON
WEALTH is almost a pioneer in the
claims for the proper treatment of
stock. He said our position on the
subject of cruelty to animals is highly
commendable. He said further that
persons who live in towns do not see
half the cruelty that Is practlced on
dumb animals. He said that the cru
city which ought to be stopped con-
sists in overlooking, overdrlving and
poor feeding Of stock.
Detailing some things he had OBJ
served, this farmer said that it is not
All uncommon thing for horse to be
put into reed patch or pasture to do
the best he can In getting meal and
when the owner gets his breakfast he
takes the horse out, bitches him to a
wagon or buggy, takes three or four
persons behind him and drives to a
meeting of some kind, ties the horse
out all day and takes him back home
and turns him in reed patch to dc
the best he can for another feed.
There is no question about the fac
that there is too much neglect of TIT
law against cruelty to animals, and i
ought to appeal to every good either
in the land to make effort to reliev,
suffering dumb animals.
| The COMMONWEALTH has printed
much on this subject and hopes yet t.
see the matter taken up by the organl
za:ion of proper societies for the pro
I; lection of animals.

DEMOCRAT" ANSWERED..

To THE EDITOR:
In las. week g issue OF THs COMMON.
WEALTH there was contamination
} purporting to come. from Brinkley vile
and signed .'Democrat," which reduced
to Its elements says:
First, That Democrat" finds 1t hard
to understand why the county board OF
education made certain appointments
"a the township school committees at
it's July meeting;
Second, That in his opinion these
appointments should be given only to
those who hold a certain shade OF POI
lltical belief; and
Third, That there is widespread
dissatisfaction on account OF the action
of the board.
If be cannot understand that the
board OF education is not an annex OF
any political party or faction, or that
it has higher duty to perform in
looking after the educational interests
of the children Of the county, now Is a
good time to disabuse his mind OF these
errors. The board will not permit It
self to be made an instrument for the
punishment or humiliation of any one,
especially of such as have rendered
faithful service to the cause OF conn
mon-school education. In this con-
nection it will not be amiss to re-
mind Democrat" and others who
think as he does, that it has not been
very long ago since many OF our hes:
citizens became offended with local
political methods and organized an In
dependent movement, more in protest
than with hope of success. Without
expressing an opinion as to the wis.
dom or necessity of lifelong Demo
Gratis thus departing from their old and
cherished affiliations, the fact remains
that there was split in the Democratic
party of the county and that these in
dependents claimed then and now tt
be straight Democrats, but without
muzzle or collar.
If these, our friends and brethren
are to be punished for haying convict
lions and exercising them, would Dem
lotrat" seriously ask the board of edu
ication to engage In the hunt? 1t il
believed that his cooler judgment ant
sense of Justice would forbid it.
i AS to the statement that there i
dissatisfaction on account OF these ap
pointmenis, it may be answered tina
not solitary complaint has been mad
except that at Democrat" and 1t
hoped that after little while even b
\ will rub his head again and find 1t
. not sore at all.
