Hot-Weather Helps For Horses

n N1MALS like men feel the heat
~ and murk of the Dog Days; un-
like their masters they cannot
growl about it while cooling off with
relaxation, elecric fans and soda foun-
tains; the Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
arguing that under such conditions
morse owners have added responsible
ity, has just issued a circular teach
ing consideration of horses that should
be daily reading for every driver and
stableman.
From profit, if not for humaneness,
here are some of the things to be done
if your horse is to keep fit during
the next weeks:
For the working hours, a light load.
slow drive and a shady stop will
conserve horse health and happiness.
This is better business than overload
ing and the good of whip; as sta
tistics of the number of horses dying
in August prove.
Watch the first symptoms of sun
stroke. If your horse stops sweat
ing suddenly, breathes short and fast,
or stands with legs braced sideways
and ears dropping-get busy at once.
Remove harness and bride, take the
horse to the shade, wash his mouth,
sponge him all over, shower his legs
and, if possible, give two ounces of
dloIhaIlC splllls Oh ammonia, or TWO
ounces of sweet spirits of nitre in a
pint of water" A pint of warm cof-
fee will serve the same purpose. Cool
his head with water or chopped ice.
If the animal seems weak when re-
turned to the stable call in a veter-
mary.
A horse in good condition is less
likely to succumb to the heat. Aim
to keep him we'll by care in feeding
housing and extra consideration.

N ~ A4Oh JOHN n. hOA AL Indue
lNI another exhibition of his petit
ness when he attempted yester-
day at a session of the City Council
TO gag Commissioner Bowman when
the head of the important Depart
ment of Public Safety insisted upon
his right to know the exact condition
of the municipal finances. The
Mayors manifest purpose was to pub
licly create the impression that the
Democratic minority in the municipal
administration was oppressed by the
trio OF Republicans who have been do
ing their utmost to promote the prog
ress of the city in every way. But he
failed lamentably and to-day realizes
that the little game of fooling the
people does not always succeed.
Both he and Commissioner Gorgas
admit that the important improve
ment projects now nearing completion
ought to be finished, but the motive
back of their opposition to the plans
of the majority commissioners is so
palpably a play to the galleries for
political effect that they will doubt
less be glad to let go of the hot end
of the stick before the controversy
shall have ended.
With a great civic celebration ap-
preaching within a few weeks the at
titude of the two Democratic commits
sioners is reprehensible. They admit
that this work must be done and that
money must be found to do it, but at
a critical juncture are interposing OBJ
jections which may make impossible
the completion of the work before
the close of September and the cele-
bration.
Commissioner Gorgas suggests that
the work should go over until next
Spring, but he can hardly be serious
in that suggestion. With the contrac-
tors ready, their equipment on the
ground and the necessity apparent to
everybody a postponement at this
time would mean greater expense
without reason or excuse.
City Solicitor Seitz has clearly indi-
Gated that the balance of the 1910
appropriation for the River Front
work is available for the completion
of the several undertakings, but the
Democratic majority are endeavoring
in the splitting of hairs to upset the
plans of the Department of Public
Works. We do not believe the peo-
pie will approve their course. Har-
risburg is proud of its splendid pro-
gram of public Improvement and it is
outrageous that for political advan-
tage these two Democrats now seek
to interrupt the work.
Mayor Royal, with his pussy-footing,
has drawn Commissioner Gorgas into
an uncomfortable position, which
probably explains his silly effort of
yesterday to gag Commissioner Bow
man when that official sought to OBJ
tain information regarding the munich
pal finances.
This newspaper believes the people
of Harrisburg almost unanimously en-
dorse the proposition to complete the
work at once. We don't believe the
Democratic minority will be permitted
to interfere through vain hope of
providing campaign material.

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND YOUNG MEN
kansas City Star.1


9 Several gentlemen, writing for perl
odicals, are a good deal distressed lest
the doctrine of social justice be made
to interfere somehow with the self-reli-
ance of young men,.
Society, they insist, must not coddle
young men. They can work out just
as great a degree of success as they
are entitled to. The reason they fail is
that they are lazy ana shiftless. The
whole argument is familiar.
1t is valid argument - in many
cases. 1t is valid, perhaps, in most
cases with which these writer's are
familiar. They see sons from well-to-
do families making failure in college
or in business and they assume if these
young men would simply get down to
business they would succeed. They
are right. Society isn't to be blamed
for such failures. The responsibility
is pretty much wholly personal, with
parental training doubtless sharing to
some extent. The thing to do with
these laggards is to use a club and
wake them up.
For there are multitudes of boys
going to work every year who do not
present quite this problem. Some of
them have been underfed, undercloth-
ed, underhoused, all their short lives.
Their growth has been stunted. Others
have been reared in the streets with
the gang. They have been sent to
work when they ought to have been
in school. They have had no chance
to be trained for their part In modern
life. They are incompetent because
they have had no opportunity to be
competent. They get into blind
alley" occupations in which there is
no future Very soon they have a
family to support, and by the time
they are certain they can make no
progress where they are they simply
can't afford to finance any change OF
occupation. The family would go
hungry If they did.
It is the duty of society, so the ad-
vocates of social justice insist, to see
to it that opportunity is kept open. and
that boys do not start life under a
hopeless handicap.
The gentlemen may still properly
go on railing at the indolent young
fellows who have thrown away their
opportunities. But they must not be
permitted to interfere with the move
ment to make sure that other young
men are not wholly deprived of OPP
poTtuntties.
