PERVERTED. PERSPECTIVES

With the absurd notions of the
writer quoted by "a Friend of
Animals, we have no manner of
patience. Any writer who is cap.
able of such dreary nonsense as
declaring that "the Ii ne between
the human and the beast is so
frequently invisible that a dogs
murder is a case of moral homi-
cide", is incapable of sound rea.
soning about anything.
Here is some more o@he same
nonsense from a pamphlet writ.
ten by Rev. J. Todd Terrier.
"These Creatures are EUing souls
not mere transitory lives; their forms
in their original state performed most
beautiful service in the evolution of
spiritual being upon this Planet; in
origin all Creatures were potentially
Human"
These writer's belong to that
irrational tribe of emotionalists
who deplore the killing Of a few
monkeys, or making a few guinea
pigs feel uncomfortable for a
moment in order that medical
science may make discoveries
that have almost obliterated a
score Of diseases that once
scourged the human race.

WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

EDITOR OF TRANSCRIPT
Our Hose Company is composed of con
tributiug members and fifteen active
members. The active members are the
ones to take care of the hose and do the
fire fighting. Assistance from outsiders
is always appreciated, but the assuming
of authority by them in giving orders and
interfering with the work of the actives
will not be tolerated and hereafter their
arrest will be Immediately ordered. The
persons in authority at fire are the two
assistant Foremen, Messrs. Paul B. Mes.
sick and J. Wallace Dickinson and my
self and in our absence, then the Oldest
active member.
There was no necessity the other day
of the turning on of water and damaging
the household belongings of a poor hard
working colored woman and it would not
have been done had it not been for the
assuming ofauthority by an outsider.

4 RIFT IN THE ARDEN Lutte

The worlds latest Eden is IN

den" with its courtly inmates,
and a "life more sweet than that
of painted pomp," where the
lovely, spicy. .tongued Beatrice
roamed and the melancholy JAG.

moralised, but the prosy little
colony of socialistic cranks just
outside Wilmington in our own
State, crafty dedicate to a lot OF
air.brained social impossibili'
ties.
But alas p! so soon in this hope.
full goth century Eden the Ser.
pent Of discord has entered. Al.
ready in this very latest pot OF
promising heavenly ointment,
appears the hateful fly! This
auspicious Eden is now a sad
paradise Lost" all because an
obstreperous Brown dared think
himself "a bigger man than old
Grant" Sinclair and being sent
to the stone pile at the Workhouse
for his pains, meanly gives a
dozen of his Arden prosecutors a
taste of the same medicine. Thus
it chances that at 8 A. N. in his
prison pen at Greenbank, Arden's
Milton sings systematically the
first canto of its great epic,
"Hark to that snore--some best that
slumberS deep
'And there in sudden stiffness mark
the sound
Some beast that rasps his vermin
haunted hide. "etc."
A wiser than even Upton Sin.
clair has said "there is nothing
new under the SUM-" Certain it
is these man.made Edens are as
old as the race and quite as falli-
BILE. They were not new when
the great Plato soul idealized
them in his famous Republic; the
pure Essenes 200 B. G. and for a
century thereafter vainly at
tented the same Edenic restora-
ton /; Sir Thomas More with his
Utopia in the 18th century again
sought to realize this fascinating
impossibility-a perfectly unset
fish human society where all are
equal; Robert Owen three cen.
turies later spent a fortune of
100000 in a like fruitless at
tempt; and so too, in our own
land in the early 40's coterie of
right noble spirits, some of whom
later played important parts in
national affairs, futily tried in
the noted "Brook Farm" the
same old experiment, which is in
morals as impossible as perpet-
nal motion in mechanics, Fin.
ally, right here in Delaware comes
the very latest colony of socialis-
tic dreamers to demonstrate yet
once more the utter impractical
bility in actual life of their fine
spun theories.
Surely the failure of all these
brilliant wits from Plato down,
should have suggested to this
latest set of Edenmanufacturers,
and even to their conceited.high.
priest and king, Sinclair, that
their chimerical schemes were
impossible in real life. But no,
they too must try the fool trick
on and thus this 1911 socialistic
ark goes to pieces like all the
rest, on the cold, hard rocks of
every day life as common men
and women lead it. And so it
will be to the end of the chapter,
though, of course the heady Sin.
clair may not now think so; later
he will.
