Punish the Vandals.

Tho Stars recently printed editorial On
the care Of the parlSings and the duty of all
citizens in the maintenance of high stand
ard OF civic beauty has evidently struck
popular chord. IL the letters IL has received
and in part printed on the subject are to
be accepted as an indication. There can be
no doubt whatever that the great majority
Of the people of Washington are willing TO
invest time. labor and money in the effort
To Keep their lawns looking neat But IL Is
noteworthy that there is a prevailing tone
OF complaint against the vandalism and the
thoughtlessness on the part of few which
serve in large measure to negative the
gardening efforts OF the many. One CORE
spondent urges that the practice of scatter
ing bits OF torn paper adds materially to
his task OF keeping his yard in good condi-
ton Another complains of the ruthless de-
structon of his plants and the seemingly
sake of spoliation. Another suggests that
the owners OF parkngs which are not kept
up 10 a certain standard of neatness be as
ssssed i'm additional taxes TO defray the cost
OF city maintenance of the same. Another
declares that his grass is pulled up by the
roots. his vines torn down. and even the mo
srespass' signs he has planted are pulled
up and flung violently against his front

sequence. far different from the mere trim
ming or banging of the tail. which does
not interfere with the bone or tissue. The
process of docking Is brutality cruel. II
there could be any doubt whatever as to
this fact the skeptic need only to attend one
Of these operations and listen to the screams
of the tortured animal, to be forever per-
suaded that the practice is criminaIly In
humane.
1t is a suggestive coincidence that word
has just been received that the state SUI
preme court of Colorado has affirmed the
constitutionality of the horse-docking law
recently passed by the state legislature.
Quotations from the decision received in
this city indicate that the court took high
view of the issue, closing as follows:
I'VE regard the law as just. wise and hui
name, and withal lawful exercise OF the
power confided to the legislature. because
1t conserves the public morals and because
1t Furnishes the cruel and senselsss treat
ment by man of his best and most constant
friend
The early passage of this bill by the Sem
ate is desirable, so that. the law can go
into effect before the opening of the hot
season, thus perhaps saving some scores OF
horses in the District from mutiIation dur
ing the next summer
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-04-16

The approval by the Senate committee on
the District yesterday of the House bill to
punish and prevent the docking Of horses
within the District sets that worthy meas
ure well along toward final enactment, ana
concurrent action at this session Is earn
estly to be desired to the end that this cruel
practice may be finally ended at the ma
tional capital. For years the Humane So
Getty and unorganized citizens interested IN
this reform have been trying to secure an
anti-docking law which would stop the mu-
tllation of horses. and the measure in hand
promises to afford just what is wanted. 1t
declares 1t to be unlawful not only to dock
the tail of horse. or to procure the dock
ing. bat to import into the District any
horse with a locked tail. as Well as to drive.
use. race or deal in such a horse, with a
necessary provision. to prevent retroaction,
that these litter prohibitions shall not ap-
ply to horses which have been registered
within a certain period after the passage
of the act
Thus the law, enacted in this form ana
strictly enforced. will put an end abso-
lutely to all future decking or to the eva
sion of the statutes by the actual or pre-
tended importation of locked horses 1t is
to be earnestly hoped that the bill will
become law and will be given full
and immediate application. There is no
valid argument against 1t. The excuse or
the householder is that he is making
his animal look smart and that the horse
does not suffer. 1t is not admitted that the
docked horse is even as attractive in APP
pearance as the unmutilated horse. He Is
an unnatural freak Of fashion. a helpless
creature. an offense to the eve and source
of sorrow to all who love animals. As well
might a parent decide that 1t would be de-
sirable to clip Off the ears of his child, II
once fashion set In to approve of small ears,
or of no ears at all.
The horse needs his tail at fun length. In
not even the best of stables, with every
facility for his comfort, can the locked
horse avoid suffering in fy time. Once
locked he can never recover his tail to It's
full sweep. This Is the most vicious phase
of the docking practice. The bone Itself 10

severe treatment There II complaint in
some of the letters which The Star has re-
ceived of the inability OF the police to catch
the flower thieves and the despoiiers of
lawns and gardens Obviously the chances
OF the capture Of such miscreants by the
police are slight. At the same time the
burden of watchfulness should not rest
wholly on the citizen. Probably the best
way is for the police authorities to issue
special instructions to the officers on duty
urging them to be particularly obseryant
of trespassers. and for the citizens on their
part to do little detective work on their
own account. while the court stands ready TO
apply the law in It's full severity to all Of
tenders against whom reasonably conclu-
sive evidence Is adduced. A few convictions
and heavy fines would unquestionably work
a decided reform in this direction. In such

should take an active part. Each man
owes it to himself as well as to his neigh
Dor to be on the lookout for those who COM
nit these nuisances, whatever his degree of
immediate personal interest. For it is the
duty of all good citizens to contribute in
every possible way to the attractive APP
pearance of the whole city and not exclu-
siveiy to that Of any single strip of parking.

MakaroR's Successor

The successor of Admiral Makaron is de-
scribed as an accomplished sailor and
brave man. He Is very much admired In
Russian naval circles. When young he dis
played the spirit Of our own Hobson, and
was promoted for his heroism. His ad-
vancement has been steady, and his educ2-
ton afioat is considered complete. And yet
the task 20 which he has been assigned may
battle even his best endeavors. What can
he hope to do with the cripples in the har-
Dor at Port Arthur manned by demoralized
crews but keep them as hong as possible out
OF the clutches of the aggressive Japanese:
He cannot become aggressive himself. We
may think of him. then. as a competent and
eager man without tools. and chatting in his
helplessncss. His il the most pathetic of
all assignments, to save as much as possible
out of wreck.
Makaroff himself was hampered in this
way and was a sacrifice to the situation
He arrived on the scene when disaster was
fresh and the Russian forces were under its
spell. His first thought was to stir the
pulses Of the feet and get it UP to fighting
mark. He went out to meet the enemy, but
was overmatched and outgencraled. So far
as his personal fate AZ concerned. 1t mat
tiers little whether his ship was sunk by a
mine or by a shot of some kind from the
enemy He was out in the open trying to
infuse into mis- men the spirit of hope and
resistance. and he paid the penalty OF reek-
lessness. The Japanese were too strong for
him. and In retiring he lost his life. Even
his enemies pay him the tribute OF admira-
ton.
BY Makaroff's death and the loss of his
ship Russia is now so reduced at that point
as to be quite helpless afioat. The land bat
teries are keeping her flag flying at Port
Arthur. Whatever Admiral Skrydloff's per-
sonal feelings may be; however much it
may anger him to know that the japanese
are outside inviting him to action. he must
stay behind the hills. What is left of sea-
worthy character is not more than enough
to make a mouthful for the enemy. The
choice is between risking it in the open. or
saving the guns for use in case the Japa-
nese land and come up from behind. In any
event Russias resistance on the sea is now
so handicapped that the presence of this
admiral or that in command in the far east
is of no great moment. Nelson himself
could do nothing there without material to
work with.
