THE WORST OF ANIMALS.
A Striking Portrait of Man With
Schepenhausr's Compliments.


Schopenhausr's Compliments.
Man is the only animal which causes
pain to others without any further pur-
pose than just to cause it. Other ami
mails never 50 it except to satisfy their
hunger or in the rage Of combat. NO
animal ever torments another for the
mere purpose of tormenting, but man
does 1t, and it is this that constitutes
that diabolical feature in his character
which is SO much worse than the mere
ly animal l have already spoken OF
the matter in its broad aspect. but 1t is
manifest even in small things, and
every reader has daily opportunity of
observing it. For instance, if two little
dogs are playing together-and what
genial and charming sight it Island
a child of three or four years joins
them, it is almost inevitable for it to
begin hitting them with a whip or
stick and thereby show itself, even at
that age the worst of animals. The
love of teasing and playing tricks,
which is common enough. may be trac-
ed to the same source. For instance, if
a man has expressed his annoyance at
any interruption or other petty incon-
venience, there will be no lack of peo-
pie who for that very reason will bring
it about. This is SO certain that a man
should be careful not to express any
annoyance at small evils. On the other
hand he should also be careful not to
express his pleasure at any trifie, for.
if he does SO. men will act like the
jailer, who, when he found that his
prisoner had performed the iaborious
task OF tanning q spider and took
pleasure in watching it, Immediately
crushed il under his foot. This is why
all animals are inStinctively afraid of
the sight or even of the track of
man, that animal mechant par excel
lencet Nor does their instinct play
them false. for it is man alone who
hunts game for which he has no use
and which does him no harm.-Scho
penhauer.

1t is stated that a concerted eff
fort on the part of local republicans
and citizens of other parties would
bring about the amending of the
direct primary law now in the state
legislature by the insertion of an
emergency clause which would
compel the holding of direct prim-
airy nomination by the local repub-
licans.
The direct primary will go from
the house to the senate next Mon
day, and will be referred to the
committee on privileges and cleo
tions. Should pressure be brought
to bear on the committee it is be-
lieved the law could be amended
to include the coming republican
primaries.
Secretary Laws, of the county
committee, in an interview recent
ly, stated it would be impossible to
hold the primaries under the new
method at the coming election, as
it takes time to work out the
scheme. In view of the fact ia!
the democrats held their primaries
here and in other counties of the
state last fall in the new way sue
cessfully, Mr.. Laws statement is
not borne out.
Councilman John Gray, demo
cratic committeeman from Barnard
precinct, said he favored the direct
primary method in the coming
democratic primaries. II. n.
Cockrell of Drumheller precinct
also believes the democrats should
nominate direct Other members
of the committee are favorable. OF
46 members, 26, or every mem
Der seen to date, has declared for
the direct primary. So far not one
has suggested going pack to the old
machine method of nominating.
In case the republicans refuse to
make nominations direct their tick
ct will be open to attack as a cor
poration-tenderloin ticket, as it is
reasonable to suppose that the
same elements that controlled the
last republican county convention
will nominate the candidates of the
party this spring.
Alex Gregg, republican member
of the house said today that he ex-
pected the senate to amend the di-
rect primary law by the insertion
of an emergency clause.

MORE
RAIDS

Scouts sent out by keepers of ten
derloin saloons have informed box
rustlers that the police raids have
been discontinued and it is safe to
return to lower Howard st. regions
tonight. Chief of Police Waller
says the so-called raids have not
been discontinued and that his men
must continue to arrest all dis
reputable women, as we'll as men,
who are found around saloon boxes,
whether they are selling drinks for
percentage or not. The chief
says no decent woman would in
habit or frequent places of the ten
derloin and women found there will
be arrested regardless of their vo-
cations.
Since the saloon raids began a
week ago. lower Howard st. places
have been depopulated of the great
er part of the women who have
made it practice to frequent
them. Tenderloin proprietors have
suffered financially in consequence
and have brought pressure to bear
to have Chief Walters orders re-
scinded. But the chief remains
firm.

From the Office of the general SUI

service, comes the following order:
The civil service commission has
advised the department that the
physical requirements of applicants
for the railway mail service will be
changed from five feet six inches as
to height, and 1875 pounds as to
weights, so that the minimum
height requirement will be five feet
five inches and the minimum
weight 1870 pounds; furthermore,
that an applicant will not be re-

would not affect his ability in the

bARTENOERS

The Engineers union last night,
by unanimous vote, instructed
the secretary to write the Rev. w.
II. Hindley and disavow the recent
action of the Central Labor union
In refusing him seat in that body
as a fraternal delegate from the
Ministerial union. The action or
the central body was taken on ac-
count of the attitude assumed by
the bartenders, who refused to re-
main in that body unless the clergy
was exNlded. 1t is likely that
other unions will write Rev. Hind
ley and explain that they also were
not in favor of the action.
The delegates from the various
unions have been criticised adj
versely by the members for not OPP
posing the bartenders more vigor-
ously, and in some instances they
have been instructed to go back to
the central body and stay there UNI
til organized labor sets itself right
with the general public as not be-
ing opposed to the clergy and hav-
ing no fight with the church-going
people of the city.
