ON HUMANE WORK
Paper by George Gilman, Rock
Island County officer, Read
Before State Convention.
EDUCATING THE PUBLIC
Heart Must Be Appealed to in Min
inning Cruelties Toward Man
and Beast.

George Gilman, officer of the Rock
island County Humane society, upon
Invitation Of the president of the state
organization, prepared a paper that
was read before the annual convention
of the Illinois Humane society held
this week at Cairo. Mr.. Gilman was
unable to attend the convention, but
forwarded his paper to the state Off
GERS, and it was read and discussed at
the meeting. In his paper Mr.. Gilman
said among other things:
after all has been said and written
in regard to the aims, purposes, use
fulness and needs of the humane so
cieties; after the plans have been
drawn and the policies adopted; after
all the theories and various views have
been discussed by the officers and
members of the society, the work, the
real work, is left in the hands of the
humane officer, and he is the one, the
only one, to do it. He is to apply the
theories to practice. He is the one to
handle each and every case according
to its merits He must be very careful
in the looking up, investigating and
making out the cases that come to him
daily. He cannot afford TO make
blunder for fear it may hurt the So
ciety; he dare not make any mistake
for fear it may hurt him. In short,
the officer is the man who, by effcien-
cy and good work, can build up and
perpetuate his society; or. through mis-
takes and ineficiency, kill II. His IS
the office of trust and of honor. This

Must BE Provided With Tools.
Like the carpenter. the bricklayer,
the stonemason and the machinist, who
must be provided with their respective
tool chests in order TO be able TO ac-
complish their tasks, so also must the
man or woman who chooses the noble
profession of humane officer be pro
vided with the proper tools in their
chests, if they intend to do their work

Not only is II necessary for the
humane officer 10 possess a thorough

ordinances, not only must the humane
officer know how 10 humanely destroy
an animal; not only is the humane of
flcer required to sec that the butcher
boy shall not drive the life out of his
horse; that the coal man shall not
overload his team; that the excavating
man shall not use the butt end Of the
whip, or the shovel He must act in
each and every one OF these cases, and
if ne is minus the proper tool in his
chest, he will be a failure.
There was a time when the butcher
was brought into court for driving fast,
but the attorney for the defense in
nine cases out of every ten proved 10

Lest He Be Accused of
Debating.

OYSTER BAY, July 27.-Those who
heard Theodore Roosevelt talk at Saga
more Hill this afternoon came away wid
4 sharply etched shadow picture Of wha,
his attitude will be in state and national
politics. Primarily he wishes TO keer
In the background in the approaching
campaign, for he feels that by taking toe
prominent part In 1t he may be accused
Of assuming dictatorship.
Broadly speaking he Will. as he has
said on several occasions, do all in his
power 10 help the men who stood by him
and his policies, but is non-committal as
to whether he expects 10 carry this to
the point of coming out openly in favor
OF the Republicans all over the country
whom he considers to be standing for
his ideas.
He does say, however. that he must
forget factional differences and even
things he believes stand for the best in
terests of the country as whole

surance. as having been spoken of In
torial nomination. He replied by nam
Ing over the whole list OF men who have
been mentioned. adding that he had no
idea whatever as to who the best man
would be.
Colonel Roosevelt said he had not been
reading up on Nebraska politics lately
and had not heard how William j. Bryan
had Jared In the Democratic convention
in that state. The nterviewers broke
tho news of the setback of the Nebras-
kan. and the colonel asked whether the
differences of opinion had arisen because
MIR. Bryan went too far or not far enough
In his proposed temperance legislation.
After he was told that the former seemed
to ut the case, there was nothing which
he cared to add in comment on Mr..
Bryan.
Has His Little Joke.
A letter caused great amusement to
Mr Roosevelt today. When Mr., Roose-
welt was In New York last Friday he told
after n conference with sew
cral politicians he had had au interesting
discussion on literature. The newspapers
printed his little joke, which brought
forth the letter received today.
The writer accused the eX-presideDt OF
trying to make people think that he had
been discussing literature instead OF poll
tics. and wound up by saying:
Maybe you can fool the feeble minded
reporters, but you can't fool the public
like that. / knew all the time.
