"Why is this little mark or an ~.

many citizens have asked during the

mail at the postoffiee and noticing

may be. Not single piece of mail
escapes this little mark, and many
citizens have been puzzled to know
what it is.
Inquiry at thes postofice develops
the fact that It is a new system just
inaugurated and is being done for the
purpose of checking up the mail in
some way. Each clerk, it seems. has

told just which of the clerks handled

form, what I regard as the most diff cult task which 1t has yet assumed. 1 think that upon this subject the law of Congress. as well as the law of most of the states, fairly announces the rights of both carriers and those whom they serve, but these laws will be of little value unless the administration is thor oughly in sympathy with them. and will infuse into those officers to whom im mediate enforcement is committed a zeal ous interest in the welfare of the mill lions who are poWeress even to initiate the proceedings necessary to secure their rights. Not only so, but there must be a persistent disposition to strengthen these laws as rapidly as keen, critical, and technical minds discover weaknesses
 in them.
 This condition presents further is- sue in the policy of the party, and Tn the selection of public officers, both leg isative and executive. It renders in- eligible for these places the man who, through intimate association, uncon- sciously views the subject from the stand point of the corporations to be regulated, and the man also who prostitutes his trust because it is profitable to do So. There are fair and honest men in the country who are to buy transportation, and the rights of the common carriers who are to sell it, who know that to
 njure the former is a betrayal of duty, and to cripple the latter is treason to good government. These are the men We want both to make our laws a,.d to ad- minister them.

in 1866, and to his supreme selt-sacrifce, united with faithful and untiring energy is due the great work that Is going on all over the United States today
 At the present time most of the states of the union give protection to helpless animals (as well as to children), by legis- lative enactment to which, of course, must be added the organization of hu- mane societies themselves.
 s1n dealing with this subject of kind ness to animals how striking the words in Englandas greatest journal, The Spec tator: .AS Snothing can repay the serv- ices and the friendship of faithful ami mals, so nothing can relieve us of the responsibility in the untold sufferings we have too often allowed animals out of sight to suffer only for want of m terest The perfect tenderness of Divine love is embodied forever in the image of the hen gathering her chickens under her wing.
 When we turn to Gods holy word we see set forth time and again olr duty to practice kindness and gentle ness toward animals.
 Like us they come from the paternal heart of God. We are not surprised there fore, that He should sanction pity to- ward dumb animals.
 As announced a few days ago we are to have a humane society in Meridian. Have you thought about it? Are you go- ing to join it? Do you intend to do anything to help it, either in the way of personal service, or financially? In a word do you feel any interest at all in it, or any responsibility towards it? Do you realize that cruelty to animals is in some respects meaner than crueltys to man? Certainly it is far more cowardly for men can retaliate as well as defend themselves. On the other hand the ani- nal is helpless and speeches. and can do nothing but suffer in silence. Of course you feel kindly in vague senti- mental sort of way toward all dumb creatures. This is we'll as far as it goes. But is there to be any practical ap- plication of your feelings?
 Remember they will not apply them- selves. You must do that.
 Remember in lifes work what you feel about a thing does not count for much. It is what you do that counts. Thus alone can your genuineness and sim cerity be proven and at the same time be of service where service is needed. May we all be enabled to obey the in- junction God gives us through Christ: Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful. To this end let each of us make his own the prayer: Q blessed Jesus, who has taught us that not a sparrow falleth without the knowledge of our Father in Heaven quicken our Sensibilities. !"

The time and place of meeting will be announced later. Mrs. Rood has made the following statement:
 Throughout all the centuries there has gone on an unceasing conflict be- tween the forces of kindness and the forces of cruelty, between the forces of barbarism and the forces of Christian civilization.
 Gradually the idea has obtained and is obtaining more and more every day that animals are entitled to humane treat ment. The first society for the preven- tion of cruelty to animals in America was organized by Henry Bergh, the founder of the work in the United States

Kansas City, Mo-, July ia battle
royal between the packers and the cat
tlemen is now in prospect, according
to delegates to the National Live Stock
exchange, in session here today. The
treaty of peace agreed upon some time
ago is said to be already nullified and
open warfare between the producers
and packers of beef is certain. The
trouble has grown out Of the question
as to whether the packing concerns
should pay for cattle and hogs prior
to being slaughtered, or after a post
morten inspection had been made by
the government authorities. Millions
of dollars year are involved in the
answer to this question and every meat
eater in the country is affected.
At the present time only the inferior
grade of cattle, known as Gamers
or Cow stuff is being considered. All
of the big packers announced over a
month, ago that this grade of beef
would be purchased only subject to the
approval of the United States inspec-
tors in their final post mortem exam
nation. Gamers" are made up for
the most part of breeding and dairy
COWS and are particularly susceptible
to tuberculosis, The rigid examination
of the health inspectors has resulted
in the rejection of a considerable pro
portion of tanners" and this loss has
fell heavily on the packers, who are
seeking to transfer it to the cattle
raisers.
Believing the edict of the packers. II
successfully put into operation, would
be speedily followed by similar regula

This increase in stock yard prices re-
suited promptly in an advance Of beef
prices to the consumer. II the pack
ers do not give in the boycott will be
continued and the price of beef will
probably continue to soar.
Commission men state that the men
of the range will not give in to the
packers and win continue the fight for
months If necessary The purchase
of cattle subject to post norton examin-
alton would be a heavy blow to the cat
tie industry. In the past all live stock
deals have, been made subject to pay
ment on approval by United States in
spectors at the scales where cattle,
hogs and sheep are weighed on the
hoof. The new policy which the pack
ers are attempting to inaugurate would
put the cattlemen at the mercy of the
big packers. Rather than subjugate
themselves to the big beef interests,
the cattle raisers viii fight to a fin
ish. In this stand they have the aid
of the commission man, scores of
whom are in attendance at the present
