The Veterinarian

The time was when the barber had
multiplicity of occupations, includ-
ing that of being the village doctor
The farrier was "ORe who shoes
horses Webster.
The advance OF the veterinary pro.
fession has been phenomenal. Only
few of the old-time "farriers" or
"hoss" doctors remain. The services
OF educated veterinarians are IN de-
mand as never before. Formerly the
veterinarians work was confined 20
treating animals for disease, now the
scope OF this profession embraces the
control OF animal cantagiums and
guarding the public health in pure
food inspection and other sanitary
lines.
tion are higher now than were the
standards in human medicine ten
years ago.
There are splendid opportunities in
veterinary lines for young men OF
character, who have been trained in
one of the best veterinary colleges.
Food inspection is destined TO soon
be a regular thing in cities of the first
class and second class. and the vet
erinarian is the only man especially
trained for this work. The control
OF animal diseases is demanding more
and better men. There is a call for
specialists in bacteriology. pathology:
for practitioners in places where they
have none. for veterinarians In the
army and other lines.
Young men will do well TO think of
this profession before they decide up
on their vocation.
The veterinary course at the State
Agricultural college of Colorado is
ranked as Glass A" by the U. s. de-
partment OF Agriculture, and the de-
mand for graduates from the college
exceeds the supply.

TOLLS that will be worth millions of dollars,
every year
viii the people get the benefit of this
exemption?
Not at all.
The New England corporations will hog all
the benefits, just as they hog all the benefits
of the damnable Tariff
The historic Democratic policy IS hostile
to subsidies of all kinds, and the Sugar
Bounty which benefited the South and West
was repealed because it o00s un-Democratlc.
The National Platform Of the Democratic
Party declares against a ship subsidy, and
Woodrow Wilson owes his election to that
platform.
Yet Wilson and Bryan and O'Gorman are
now working for the New England and
Northern Corporations, to secure for them
a special exemption, which will amount to
vastly more than any direct ship-su6Sldy that
the Republicans ever advocated.
That special exemption from tolls will rob
the South and the West of untold millions
every year, just as the Tariff does; and will
intensity the nationwide misery and DAN
GER, caused by the law-made inequalities in
the distribution of wealth.
1t is a shocking thing. to see the new admin
istration lending itself to the mewovohed
breach Of national COM pact
It is even more shocking to see the pro-
fessed friends Of TIE VICTIMS OF
SPECIAL PRITfLEGE laboring to vastly
increase both the amount of THE PRIVI-
LEGE', and the number Of ITS VICTIMS.

zoe Democrats must eat all that ,aoe SAID
against Republican imperialism.
This would give Bryan whole lot to eat
wouldn't it?
Is Cuba free?
If so, it is tyrannical for us to dictate to
her about the management Of her domestic
affairs.
Are not we Democrats of one mind upon
that subject?

Does Cuba Belong 10 tEle United
States?

WHEN we we're prodded into the Spanish
w War, we solemnly assured the world that
we were not seeking TO make conquests.
We wished everybody to understand that
we meant to 90 to war, and to kill as many
people as we could, in order that our ungov-
ernable philanthropy and altruism might be
adequately impressed upon mankind.
We freed" Cuba, and we 'benevolently
assimilated" the Philippines,
We are still arduously engaged in making
dead men out Of such Filipinos as object to
being digested; and we are still employed in
effecting the complete liberation of Cuba.
A few weeks ago, the Cuban Congress
passed an Amnesty bill, pardoning alleged
offenders against the government.
Our American Congress did the same thing,
little while ago, pardonlng us Southern
rebels, traitors. fire-eaters, snolly-gosters,
slave-drivers, and poor white trash.
(Jas. G. Blaine and Benz. H. Hill had quite
a debate about it, you know, early in 1860
This Cuban Amnesty law was signed by
the Cuban President. Therefore, it would
seem to be binding Cuban law.
But our brand-new Secretary of State Mr..
Bryan, VOWS that Cuba must not pardon those
criminals Says they are hard lot Says
they must be punished.
Evidently, Mr. Bryan is sore at the way our
Sugar Trust felons, and our Standard Oil
felons escaped the rigors Of the Law.
Not being able to punish big criminals in
this country, Mr.. Bryan wants it done in
Cuba.
The abstract morality Of this demand is all
right, but how does it consist with the Law
of Nations?
If Cuba has been "freed," we have nothing
to do with her internal affairs.
If Cuba is not free, we have lied to the
whole world.
Cuba elects her own Congress, and her own
President, just as we do.
If Cuba cannot make her own laws. through
her Congress and her President, then she is
vassal, and not free.
Is she our vassal?
If SO, she is vassal for all purpQsses. y aaJ

national Law :?

IN our early days of national weakness, we
l went unon orr knees to Great Britain to
secure treaty arrangements with that MlStreSS
of the seas. Without such treaties it was felt
that we had no chance to build up our for
eign commerce.
Bitter as the pill was, we swallowed the
Jaw treaty, Of President Washlngtons time,
although it deliberately sacrificed the agr1cul-
tural South and West to the manufacturing
interests of the North and East.
That infamous Jay treaty closed the N5sSls-
sippi Rioer to our vessels, and put the ban
upon the export Of cotton.
Nevertheless since John Jay, Of Neoo YORK;,
had made this Treaty, the South and West
stood by it, easily as 1t injured them.
From time to time. this country and Great
. Britain have entered into various other CON
tracts, by treaty; and. so far as | remember,
we have never had to complain that Great
Britain failed to respect them.
By the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. 1850 we
entered into a contract with our Mother COun-
try concerning the Isthmus Canal
1t was agreed that neither the United States
nor Great Britain would seek an exclusive
route across, from ocean to ocean.
If the Canal were dug, we and Great Brit
ain would be partners, in the enterprise.
But. later on. the United States had become
the leading nation of the world while Eng
=; land had lost her dominancy.
Therefore, we proposed new contract, by
which we were given release from the old
bargain, and free hand in cutting the Canal.
England agreed upon the e@presS c0ndj-
ti0n that the Canal should be open to all
the world, on equal terms.
In that way, England herself keeps the
Suez Canal open to all the world.

Old MIR. SartO Has Got Well.

Old MIR. Sarto Has Got Well.
A T present, our Holy Pappy, our God-on-
"A earth, our Christ-veiled- in-the- flesh our
Holy Ghost-in -breeches, is very nice and
ignorant old person named Sarto.
His sister died few days ago: she could
neither read nor write.
Whether she took much stock in her brother
the Holy-Ghost-in- petticoats-did not
clearly appear.
Therefore, scrupulously avoid comment
upon that subject.
The undisputed fact that she had never
been taught to read, although living a life
time in sight of the greatest Roman Catholic
church that the world ever saw, / accept as
striking evidence of the z0ue that Roman
Catholicism cher5shes FOR EDUCATIOW
or THE MASSES.
The brother of our Roman Papa, is named
Ardreas Sarto.
Ardreas is one-hoss postmaster in one
boss town in Italy: probably he can read and
write, IN a small. one-hoss manner.
The other Sarto-that's Pappy-has been
sick, here OF late
He had the Influenza, or the Grippe, as
some folks call it.
Influenza in men and horses, is, an awfully
dlsagreeable complaint
The coughing, the blowing OF the nose the
splitting, the night-sweats, the swallowing Of
nasty medicine, the-but why dwell?
You know what it all is, as we'll as I do.
We have been there.
But isn't it awful to think of Papa going
through that sort of thing?
It's a shame. the way they allowed that
ancient Italian to suffer, when he could have
been SO quickly cured by touching him with
some of our Relics of the Saints and the
Saintesses, some of our Holy Oils imported
from the realms above by the most Blessed
Virgin, some of our miraculous waters Of
Lourdes, or some of our supernatural finn
Tanning of St. Anthony of Padua
Instead of curing Papa, instantaneously,
by one Of many most blessed methvtis.
and thereby bringing dire confusion upon the
heretlcs we went to mere human doctors, con-
Quoted them into the Vatican, and urged them
to treat Papa with porous plasters, profilac
bandages, liver pills, cough syrups, quinine
capsules and other purely profane substances
and contrivances
Instead of bringing confusion upon the
heretics by a sudden, miraculous cure, we sur
rendered Papa to heretical methods. and piled
up doctors bill that will make sad inroads
upon our Peters Pence.
It's shane. !"
I'd like to know why it is that miraculous
cures are plentiful, and the bones of St. Anne
eficacious- except when our Papa needs
relief
There appears to be discrimination here
that can neither explain nor excuse.
All that I can tell you is that our Papa

GIANT SUBMARINES PLANNED.

While the navy department con-
sistently has been extremely retlcent
concerning its submarines, 1t has pc
come known that the plans for the
three vessels of this type authorized
by the last session Of congress, ana
for which bids are about to be asked
contemplate vessels much larger than
any now in commission.
Although the pioneer in submarine
navigation, the American navy mas
been outstripped by European engl-
neers in the matter of size, speed anu
offensive power of underwater craft
The navy department designers now
are planning much larger and more
formidable vessels of this type. ana
some of them prophesy the develop
ment of the submarine into a giant
battleship that will replace the dread
noughts in the first line of defense.
They even contend these vessels would
be able to disappear beneath the sur
face of the Sea to escape return ire
after discharging their great 12-inch
rifles at an enemy.

HAT INDUSTRY STIMULATED.

Consul General Thomas Sammons,
stationed at Yokohama, Japan, has re-
ported to the department of commerce
that the cutting of queues in China
has greatly stimulated the hat indus
try.
In 1910 Japan sold 10 China $751;
263 worth of hats" writes Consul
Sammons. I'm 1912 the sales amount
ed to $S68,713 The great increase in
Japan's sales to China resulted from
the demand for inexpensive felt hats
and cloth caps for the immediate use
of the Chinese who have cut their
queues.
THE demand for hats and caps
among Chinese men is greater south
of the Yangtse river than in the
northern provinces, the manufacture
ers of this class Of Japanese goods
being advised that the cutting of the
queues was more active in the south
than in the north

ARMY LOSES STRENGTH.

Increasing difficulty in securing en-
listments for the army Is becoming
so grave that an appeal may be made
to congress by the secretary OF war
to amend the existing enlistment laws
if the army is to be kept up to its nor
NAL strength. The reports indicate
an unwillingness among the young
men of the country 70 contract away
their time for a period as long as sew
en- years, even after 1t is explained
to them that only four of these years
must be spent with the colors.
With growing demands for troops
for garrison duty in Hawaii and the
canal zone and for the recruitment OF
the existing regiments up to the full
strength, this failure of the recruiting
service Is giving serious concern to
army officers.

them to believe a lot of outworn dog

Yes, the trouble is that the people
