WHY ANIMAL TORTURE?

Brooklyn lis folicitating itself on
the requirement of the famous Bos-
tick collection Of animals which has
been on view at the Anglo-American
exposition in London.
The animals came into control OF
the military authorities Of Great Brit
ain and We're disposed OF to Brooklyn
at the cost OF their preparation Tor
shipment.
Not having the foresight to get
rid of its wonderful animal collection
in time,' Antwerp lost most of it's 200
during the Commandment while the re-
mainder has succumbed to the famine
which is affecting the people so des-
perately as to make it criminal TO
waste food on wild animals.
All OF which is u reminder that
maintaining wild animals III captivity
in this day and age is perfectly indie
tensible. 1t is productive OF no pos
sible good, it gains no profit or bene-
fit for any person living or dead. it is
more or less degrading to men who
must interest themselves in the re-
straint of the pure brutes by what
ever means and however cruel. it in
''structs no one. its sole excuse is to
supply entertainment and amusement
to children who gain unfortunate i'm
pressions and to others who merely
are curious, and it serves no useful
scientific purpose that can be dis
cerned.

it did that at Antwerp and the world

WAR HELPS POSTAL BANKS.
Deposits in Government Institutions
Show Big Inereases-Show a
Gain of Ten Millions.

Officials at Washington announce
that the war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this coun
try. From the very day hostilities
opened postal savings receipts began
to increase and Withdrawals fell Off a
result quite contrary to the predic-
tons OF many well informed persons,
who in their imagination, saw lines of
feverish depositors at post Office pay
windows anxious to again return their
savings deposits whence they came be-
fore intrusted to Uncle Sam.
Two important results have fol-
lowed; thousands of people largely
of foreign birth. accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now patrons
Of the postal savings system, and
enormous sums OF actual cash have
been released for commercial uses
among Americans at q time when the
need of every available dollar is press
ing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap between the depository
and the factory paymaster On July
LIST, when affairs were running smooth
ly here and abroad and the transmits
ion of money across the Atlantic was
safe and expeditions, there was ep.
proximately $43.000,000 of postal saw
ings standing to the credit Of about
3S8,000 depositors. Since then over
$10,000,000 OF deposits have been add
ed and the number OF depositors has
increased enormously. This unprece-
denied gain is more striking when it
is considered that the net gain in the
last three months is larger than the
gain for the entire fiscal year 1914.
Scores of offices have done more post
al savings business since the war has
been going on than YVES done by them
during the previous existence OF the
service. The increases are confined
to no special localities. but have been
felt in every nook and corner of the
country. New York City alone made
a gain in September of more than a
million, while Brooklyn showed a rel
atively big increase. Chicago report
ed larger gain in the last three
months than for the previous twelve
months. More than 1000 new accounts
were opened during the period. bring
ing the number of depositOrs il that
city up to over $1,000.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting prob
lens which have called for the care
full personal consideration OF Post
master General Burleson and Govern
or Dockery, third assistant postmaster
general. But their task has been
lightened somewhat by the promptness
of depository banks in furnishing ad-
ditiOnal security to meet the abnorm-
al deposits A number OF the very
largest banks in the country, which
have heretofore declined to qualify
as repositories for postal savings
funds, are now among the eager ap-
plicants for them.

"Bovestrianism" Latest on Highway.
From Ashland, o., comes the report
that of all the methods OF travcrsinS
the Lincoln highway, she has the most
unique. While it as been crossed by
auto and by foot, ridden over by
cyclists and equestrians, followed by
the lowly prairie schooner and the eight
thousand dollar limousine alike, it re-
mains for this town to claim the hon
or of having evolved the only "hoves-
trian." No. this is not some new kind
of an airship or internal combustion
motor--it simply means riding on a
COW.
1t seems that among the many
promising youths OF Ashland is one
David who owns iowly COW yclept
lmogene. And every eventide when
the shades OF night are falling fast
and every dawn while the meadows
are yet wet with dew. David may be
seen mounted astride his bovine steed
guiding her gently DER the Lincoln
highway toward the setting or the rlS-
ing sun, as the case may be.
The editor OF the Ashland Press has
been moved to indite the following
touching lines to David and the COW:
David rides the red COW to pasture,
Each morn down the Lincoln high
way;
Bossy's fond of her brave little mast
err
And willingly yields to his sway.
What next?

by outgo, the greatest of American
industries is in no position to borrow
money for betterments or to renew
old loans, and the whole world finds
in the prices of American railroad
securities proof of the distrust with
which investors regard The situation.
The problem, then, goes back to
first principles. and, in spite of the
commissions limitations, embraces
everything that it passed upon, as
we believe mistakenly, in its 1udg-
ment last summer. War is the new
thing, but war only brings into
clearer light the difficulties which
demagogy in the States and bureau
cracy at Washington have thus far
ignored Relief was needed before
the war. II is needed now for the
same reasons, made a little more inn
perative by war.
In country so extensive as this,
the transportation interest cannot be
starved, without weakening every
other industry. It's property must
be kept up. It's credit must be sus-
tanned If prices and wages rise. it's
rates must rise. Public regulation
that is never constructive is certain

The Case of Japan
(From the Kansas City Journa).

There are many people in this
country who grow nervous when the
Japanese seize a piece of land or
rock belonging to the Germans, in
the course of the present war. They
seem to see in each of these hostile
acts another step toward the myth
cal conflict between America and
Japan which Captain Hobson has
been waging ever since the days of
the Merrimac Within the past few
weeks tho Japs have confscated
couple of coral islands, called Jaluit
and zap, and this act quickly aroused
the suspicious of Washington. The
American government demanded
from Japan an explicit announcement
Of its intentions, and Japan promptly
declared that it had no idea Of mena-
cling this country in any manner or
even retaining the former German
possessions permanently.
Perhaps there are also many peo-
pie who do not get nervous enough
when the little brown men grab a
bit of territory which might easily
be converted into a base of opera
tions against the United States. When
the English seized German Samoa,
which is very much nearer American
territory than either of the bases
seized by the Japs, no outcry was
raised. There does not appear TO be
any danger to this country in Ger
many's possessions in the Pacific,
and it is paying Germany a poor
compliment to assume that if there
is danger at all a Japanese base is
more perilous to American interests
than a German base. It may be ad-
