The merchant too much concerned with

titled to no consideration, in the opinion
OF the Humane Society. AS their hearts
are in their pockets. in that way only
their sensibilities be reached. They
will be convinced by boycott of the
profit in the practice of humanity, and
change their ways, is the argument of
he Humane Society.
Let animal lovers use their eyes

tor most of the ills they see visited
upon animals. The merciful man is
merciful to his beast. Let only such
enjoy your patronage. For the rest the
boycott until they change their ways"
The Humane Society would extend the
boycott against culpable express and
transfer companies. and concerns which

work before they give their orders

Alleges Apathy of individuals.

Complaint is made against individual
apathy to suffering. While no one but
a degenerate would actually enjoy beat
ing helpless animal, it is set forth. yet
hundreds see it done daily with indiffer-
ence and thousands more find little to
criticise jim the many cruelties pract.ced.
These are regarded as sins of Omls-
sion. charged and proved, against the
average citizen.
The horse was made to work, they
argue" the year book declares, when
they are confronted by the charge of
indifference to cruelty, land his driver
is the best judge of what he can do: If
he won't pull, beat him: if he falls down.
beat him, and if he can't bulge his load
beat him anyway.
1T took money to buy him, 1T takes
more money to keep him. and no shirk
ing can be tolerated. The horse i'll fed
is bound to be weak, the horse over
loaded is bound to falter under a heavy
strain but in the judgment of the aver
age driver there is but one explanation
OF failure to work. and that is laZiness,
which can be cured only with whip.
And shall not a man do as he VIII
with his own? Is not The horse his prop
erty and shall he not measure his load
not to the strength that is, but to the
strength that ought to be? Who has
the right to interfere "
Not one man in ten is qualified to own a
horse and not one in twenty could obtain
a license to drive a horse if he had to
pass a qualifying examination, the year
book asserts.

Qualities Needed on the Bench.

What is needed in every police court
in the country is judge learned in the
law" continues the year book. deeply
experienced in human ways and well
pa d. In it's true relation to the commu-
nifty, the police court is the most impor
tant of all and the one in whose daily do
ings the citizen is most concerned. The
presiding judge should be picked man
and his salary should equal that paid in
the higher courts. No political hack
should be elevated to such a pace: and
no one should take it whose ambition
will not be satisfied with its unlimited
possibilities of checking evil and doing
good Such a judge should be surround
ed with an atmosphere not now found in
the police courts of our large cities. The
clerks the batl:ffs and the barnacles OF
long service should be cleared out at
regular intervals and replaced by new
men fresh from other duties, and. unlike
their predecessors, untainted by daily as
sociation with malefactors of every de-
crce--and each other. Four years is Il
long time of service for clerk in a po
ice court. No one should be allowed to
exceed it.

Police Judges Criticised.

This is precisely what the ordinary po-
lice justice never takes into account, it
is alleged.
Sitting in judgment daily on so many
tales of human frailty and degradation.
his mind insensibly becomes calloused.
and he looks listlessly and with lenient
eye upon the slifferings Of mere beasts of
burden the year book declares.
"Only when the case before him is out
rageous is his Indignation stirred into
action: even then it is his habit to take
the word of the most. incompetent driver
before the test .mony of the onlooker
whose humanity has been revolted by a
gross piece Of cruelty practiced IN his
sight. and who has left his Office to go to
court and testify.
The wear book adds:
1T is the driv&r's business to look after
his horse, he knows him and the chance
spectator does not: the burden of proof
is upon the latter and generally it Is in
sufficient When the brutal driver is also
the owner of the animal abused his side
Of the case IS strengthened. Such a man
wouldn't injure his own property, argues
the court. If the lawbreaker proves "
poor man, the complainant has even less
chance If the horse does not work, how
ever unfit, the owner will starve. 1t
does not SO much matter If the horse
starve He will not become a public
charge and the owner may.

 MT. McDonough said that so many senator's had intended to offer amend ments to the compensation bill that he thought it advisable to delay de- bate until tomorrow, and without ob- jection the bill was made the order of the day for noon tomorrow, Senator Neebe agreeing to have his bill relat- ing to the creating of an industrial commission go over until Thursday.
 The House took up the bill -egu- 1ating- the hours of labor for wonien and minors at just noon. MT. Storrs of Ansonia. and several others offered various amendments, each of which in its order was voted down, and after a. hale hours debate the bill as reported by the committee was passed by a un- animous vote.
 Mr. Storrs' amendme ent would have provided that a mercantile establish ment could keep minors under Is years of age at work one night 3. week and as often as they pleased between Dec. 15 and Dec. 25.
 MT. Healy demanded to know for this amendment MT. Storrs said they did not except that the commit teee it would stave off opposition to the bill. Mir. Thons said the bill ought to be passed without amend ment. MT. Hall of New Milford said the committee was not in favor of this amendment MT. Healy was against the amendment, as he said it would in effect com ercialize the flesh and blood of the children of Connecticut. There was but a single vote in favor of this amendment.
 Two other adneEdm ents were offer ed excepting mercantile esta blish- ments from the bill and one provided that in time of war the manufacfur- ing establishments of the state should be excepted. Both of these amend ments were immediately rejected.

HOUSE RINGS WITH APPLAUSE
 AS IT PASSES BILL TO LIMIT
 TOLL OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN
No Attempt Made to Pass Workingnen's Compensation Bill Today Because So
 Many Amendments Are Coming

Hartford, May 13-The House of Representative passed today amid ap-
 p1ause the bill fixing the hours of Ia- Dor for women and children in fac tories at 55 hours a week, those in
 mercantile places at 58 hours, and pro-
 htbiting the employment of any child
 under 16 years of age after 6 D. m.
 in any esta b1ishment. Every attempt
 to amend the bill was voted down and no opposing voice was heard when the
 bill was adopted.
 The legislature began consideration
 of labor bills today, entering a, period
 which is briInfun of interest to the industrial workers of the State. The Senate at noon was to have begun the discussion of the lengthy workmen' s compensation bill drafted by the com bined labor and judiciary committees, but Senator McDonough said that so many amendments were to be offered that he asked that the bill go over un- til tomorrow noon. It was so voted. In the House was taken up the bill limiting the hours of labor for women and minors in factories to 55 a week with the additional provision that while the 5S hour schedule shall re- main for women and minors in mer- cantile establishments, no minor may work after p. III. and no woman after 10 p. m..
 The early predictions were that many amendments would be offered to both the compensation bill and the employment measure. The store keep CTS were opposed, to the provision that 9. minor may not work after p. m.. as it would eliminate from depart ment stores the cash and bundle boys and girls and a. large number of the junior clerks The hours of weekly not generally opposed, the committee. had had be- fore 1t bills to cut down the hours to a less figure It was claimed at the. hearings that a. 54 hour week would mean the elimination of Saturday half if the law had read that a nine hour day was compulsory. The bill as reported and taken up today preserves the half holiday.

Washington, May 1s-AmerIcan4. with the possible exceptions of the barefoot boy, are. today, walking around on not less than 12, OOo 900 pounds of glucose and epson saIts which constitute adulterants in sole leather. The assertion Is made by the department of agriculture which has just concluded investigations of the leather industry and has Issued a. bull letin entitled the composition of, some sole leathers." The aduIterants add nothing to the wearing value of the feathers, say the department, and where present in large quantity may shorten the life of the leather. 'Six- ty-three percent of the feathers exam ined were weighted with glucose or epsom salts or both,'' according to the findings of the departments experts.
 s'The quantity of loading varied from to 7.3 per cent of epson salts with an average of 8 percent The maxi mum quantity of glucose in the load ed feathers was 1O4 per cent and the average 5.5 percent.
