Catlin Report Kills
Senator's Pet Goat

WILKESBARRE. Pa. Aug. Sem
ator Sterling R. Catlin several months
ago received a goat from his friend.
DIR. c. F. Church. The Senator, who
is lover of animals. took the goat
to his home and made a pet of it.
Recently Mr.. Catlin was called away
from his stock room to answer the
telephone, and when he returned, he
found the goat had devoured a lot of
valuable papers which were being
kept on record. In the lot were the
Philadelphia proceedings of the SEN
atorial investigating committee, of
which Senator Catlin was the chair
man.
The lawmaker was much nut ont.
but he did not get angry with the
goat, which showed signs OF sickness.
Instead, ne sent for q veterinary doc
tor. but before the latter arrived the
goat died. Mr.. catlin thinks the ami
NAL was poisoned by ink on the paper.

Perhaps the estimate as To ade-
quacy for the future is too optimistic.
Judging by our experience here in
South Bend we are inclined 10 the
opinion that it is. Pure water. spark

will tax the present equipment of the

Water is a magnet for all living
creatures and when il is known 10 be
absolutely pure it's drawing power is
Increased in proportion. We venture
the prediction that the news of
Mishawaka's good fortune in tapping
an inexhaustible fountain Of pure
water and Of the city's enterprise in
constructing a suitable pumping plant
goes abroad it will prove 10 be the
most effective piece of publicity our

\ WARNING NOTE.

The news that fifteen American
women were among the suffragets who
disturbed the services in three Eng
lish cathedrals on Sunday is a note
OF warning against the influence Mrs
Pankhurst may try to exert in this
country, since she has been admitted
without restrictions as 10 actions or
incendiary speech except such as the
laws provide.
The interference with church ser
vices is foretaste of what may be
expected in this country if the mill
tant spirit is encouraged and militant
methods are adopted 1t is difficult
To see in Mrs. Pankhurst's visit TO
America any other purpose than that
OF creating a state OF mind that viii
harmonic with the sentiment among
English women. BY such means only
could she expect To receive from this
source the aid and encouragement
she is seeking for her cause.
American suffragists should be fore
warned against the adverse effects Of
such an influence. 1t cannot avoid
having a retarding if not disastrous
effect on their cause. The people OF
the United States are not kindly dis
posed toward violent means OF ac-
complishing reforms. They regard
that sort OF remedy as worse than
the evils complained OF. The rebuke
administered TO the members OF the
structural iron workers union was a
manifestation OF this disapproval. The
attitude of the United States govern
ment toward Mexico is another ex-
ample.
Revolution is unnecessary to secure
the ballot for women in America. The
reform is being worked out by evolu-
ton much more rapidly. sanely and

now enrolled as suffrage states. The
reform, originating in the west. is
sweeping eastward with giant strides.

TO be good at figures. Having deter
mined the number of crows he needs
about the place the farmer can begin
the work OF elimination.
We presume this work Of elimina-
ton should be regulated under the
rules OF selection that the greatest
efficiency in the destruction OF insect
pests may be secured. The smaller
and weaker crows should be killed off
and the big. husky ones conserved
1t may require few years of evolu-
ton too TO bring about a reversion to
type in the crows so that they will
prefer insects to corn. wheat and
other products which the farmer
