CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

The cultivation of a spirit of hui
maneness IN the treatment of ami
mails, which is promoted by organic
eG societies, not only for the protec-
ton OF dumb brutes, but also for the
education OF people. and especially Of
children, to proper and kindly con-
sideratiOn Tor animals, is work
which should have much better gov
crnmental and popular support than
IN is now receiving. The humane atJ-
peal should be sufficient to enlist the
earnest interest of all the states and
municipalities, and of all right mind
ed people There is also an economic
side of vast Importance to the matter
which is generally overlooked. DIR.
William r. Callicotte, the Colorado
state superintendent of moral and
humane education, in recent state
ment estimates that the United States
loses annually no less than $1,000. .000,-
eco through cruelty TO animals He
calculates that there is lost in this
country every year at least $200000,-
900 from neglect and mistreatment of
cattle, and the same amount on ac-
count OF maltreatment and improper
care OF horses. S150000. 600 resulting
from giving dairy COWS poor food and
quarters and $S0O,000000
ecause of the destruction of birds
pr. Callicotte believes that the high
cost of living would probably be re-
duced 70 per cent if proper care and
treatment were given the dumb ami
mails that are of such service to man
md.
DR.. Callicotte's estimate of the act
ual loss may be exaggerated. but un-
Iuestionably the loss is immense. But,
aside from the question of dollars and
cents, he makes the well grounded
plea that the education OF the child
zen of this generation to sensitive
for the suffering of ami
nails and humane interest in their
.0mfort and welfare will tend great |
y to the reduction Of crime. The cul- |
walton of the humane and consid |
rate spirit towards animals will pro.
note better social conditions and a
sreater respect for the amenities and |
'bl cations of life

GIVING GENIUS
ITS OPPORTUNITY

1t is unfortunate that sometimes
men of genius lacN opportunity Tor
full employment of the gifts with
which they are endowed Yet rare
men of that kind may find II difficult
at times to adjust themselves to
their environment In other cases
they may be forced by circumstan-
ces TO give much of their time ana
energy to earning a living in ways
which interfere with the exercise OF
the high talents which distinguish
them from ordinary men.
in every such case the world Is the
loser, and provision ought, If possible
to be made whereby the fruits OF
genius allowed to ripen, might be
Rathered for the benefit Of all man
kind.
Men of exceptional talent may be
classed as products OF what Prot.
Hugo de Vries calls mutations. II is
true that this suggestion does not
conform with scientific accuracy to
the mutation theory, yet men oil
genius differ so widely from ordin-
airy mortals that when one appears
he is promptly recognized as some
thing new Beyond question they
are not produced frequently enough
to permit of their being wasted or
allowed TO pass their lives without
adequate opportunity TO express
what is in them
What If some of them are hard 10
get along with One may not be
surprised that the valet of Emmanuel
Kant soIved the problem and made
existence for himself fairly comfort
able by asserting sort of Dictator
ship over his employer But how
enormous would have been the
worlds loss if opportunity had not
been given for the fullest express
sion of that great philosophers
genius. one may not envy in some
eases the lot of those who may be
compelled to live with genius. But,
even though justice may call for
division of the laurels between the
genius and those who have to put
up with him. the world ought not 10
lose the fruit of intellectual endow-
ments which of themselves may ac-
count for a mans failure to fit into
his environment
Great mathematicians, poets, mu-
sicians and artists, how different
they are from ordinary mortals, and
yet how much worth while is the
work they do when given untram-
meled opportunity, 1t would be well
of men of that kind should be pro
vided for through some such fund as
that of the Carnegie Institute in
cases where other and better pro-
vision is not made. What If Wag-
ner had been compelled to devote the
greater part of his time to giving
music lessons to young women with
out talent, or il Newton or Laplace,
Euler or Lagrange had Deen forced
to serve as a village schoolmaster or
in some other narrow employment
all his days

GOVERNOR WILSON'S FRANKNEss

Many interesting criticisms and
eulogisms of Governor Wilson
speech of acceptance were published
in almost every newspaper of the
country. The chief criticism offered
--~and, in fact, the only one-was that
it was not definite enough. This was
almost universally denied by Demo
cratic and many independent papers,
which also ascribed 10 it unusual
qualities of political philosophy and
literar. 1grace.
One OF the most interesting, though
plainly onDartisan, opinions was OIL
fered by the Wall Street Journa a
leading financial paper of the East
