Buffalo, N. r., April 3O.--Amid a
blaze OF electric lights which brought
out the national colors and the state
insignia In bold relief, one thousand
diners took part In great amalgama-
tion banquet, given in honor OF Presi-
dent Taft by the chamber OF commerce
and manufacturers club tonight at
Convention hall. All the devices OF
the decorators art had been brought
into play BY the committee on arrange
ments and the spacious hall had been
transformed into veritable floral boz
wer illumined by thousands OF mean
descent electric light bulbs.
But brighter even than the daz-
zling light was the smile Of the ma
ti0n's head as amid q thunderous APP
plause he entered the hall and took his
place ct the speakers table.
The president spoke OF the New
York state barge canal and predicted
great success Of the venture. He de-
clared the United States has much to
learn from the waterway systems Of
Europe.
The president devoted much of his
speech to purely local topics.
He dwelt at some length on the con-
servation bills In congress. especially
on the one confirming the right of the
chief executive to withdraw lands from
public entry.
President Taft then turned to pay a
tribute to Governor Hughes.
"As I look upon this New York au-
dience." he said. II feel like apologiz-
Ing on one hand and felicitating the
country on the other in taking from
you your great governor to make him

Antiyiyisectionists.

times confronted with very stubborn
facts that take the force out of their
arguments entirely. Not long ago
12-year-old schoolboy at Freeport,Lon
Island. was attacked with meningitis
in its severest form. A consultation
of physicians was held, and they de-
cided that there was no hope for the
youngster. The boys despairing faith
er, however, went to the Rockefeller
Institute in New York and explained
the case to DR.. Simon Flexner, the
head of the institution, and r. Lamar,
his assistant, and they furnished him
with some Of the antitoxin for the
production Ct which the institute is
famous The remedy was duly APP
piled, and the boy rapidly recovered
under the treatment. The moral of
this story lies in the fact that Dr.
Flexner is one of the leading vivfsec-
tionists of the world, and that through
his dissection of the bodies of lower
animals he has learned the causes of
disease AMI acquired exceptional skill
in mastering it. Much maudlin SYM
pathy has been wasted on the stray
dogs and cats which have been ether
lied until rendered insensible to pain
and then operated on, suffering not
bit more than human being does
during an operation The sacrifice of
all the dogs and cats in the world
would be a small matter If thereby
methods of healing and saving the

cred or perfected. How any one with

VIII Women Abandon Love?

Gertrude Atherton, tho novelist,
has been writing for Harper's Bazaar
on THE Woman in Love-" In her
first two papers Mrs. Atherton dis
cusses those women in history whose
love episodes have been the most
striking things about them. In her
third paper, however, not yet pub
lished, she makes some predictions
concerning the place that love will
take in the future. Mrs. Anterior
does not go so far as Mrs. Belmont,
who predicts that there VIII be a war
between the sexes. due to the fact
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-01-15

that men wig not give women the
suffrage. Mrs. Atherton believes and
states, however, that from now on
the love element will be a far less vi
tai thing in women's lives than it has
been heretofore. She thinks that the
broadening out of feminine interests,
the entrance of women into new
fields, the intellectual development of
women, are all factors which will fill
women's lives to the comparative ex-
clusion of that other factor which
heretofore has been supposed to be
s'her whole existence"
