PENROSE TALKS
ON WESTERN TRIP
Says Country Is Ripe For a
Change in the National
Administration Now

Senator Penrose must have received
a great welcome yesterday at Pitts
burgh judging from the dispatches re-
ceived. Incidentally he made some
comments on the dissatisfaction of the
country with Wilson.
A dispatch from that city says:
That the sentiment of the country is
Republican, and that the national
ticket of that party will be elected
next year was the prediction of Sem
ator Boies Penrose. who arrived IN
Pittsburgh last night with the Liberty
Bell party. Senator Penrose refused
to discuss the Presidency. except to
state the report that he would an
nounce himself candidate for the
Republican nomination was incorrect.
The Senator upon his return to his
native State was met by a large dele
cation of active Republicans of West
ern Pennsylvania, who went to
Youngstown, Ohio. this afternoon and
accompanied the Liberty Bell party
to Pittsburgh.
Included in the delegation were
United States Senator George T.
Oliver, Mayor Joseph G. Armstrong,
Coroner Samuel c. Jamison. E. V.
Babcock. General A. j. Logan, State
Senator Charles II. Kline. Congress
man A. ]. Barchfield. Robert Garland.
State Senator Joseph Thompson, of
Beaver, Col. James E. Barnett, of
Washington, and other Republicans
of prominence, with whom Senator
Penrose discussed political conditions
in this section of the State.
Senator Penrose predicted that the
issues of the national campaign in
1916 would be the tariff, the Mexican
question and the foreign policy of
President Wilson.
There will be a severe arraign-
ment of the administration he said.
Demonstrating it's absolute incapacity
in financial and diplomatic matters.
The American people will be
much surprised when they learn the
extent of the decentralization in the
various departments of the govern
ment. AS to the National Republican
Convention, there will be no crystalliz-
alton on the question of the nominee
until the convention meets. A num-
Der of ballots may have to be taken
to determine the nominee. There will
be a number of candidates, backed by
their respective States, but the contest
will be harmonious and the discus
SionS entirely amicable.'

S. P. c. A. NOTES

| 1t is against the law in Pennsylva-
mia to sell a wornout horse for a few
| dollars. The purchaser is just as liza
! BILE to prosecution as the seller. This
law was long step forward in hu-
name practice as formerly the traffic
| in decrepit horses was a disgrace to
civilization. A recent prosecution in
Harrisburg aroused some comment
because the owner of the infirm horse
was poor man with big family.
| DR.. Francis n. Rowley. president of
the Humane Society of massachusetts,,
has written pertinently on this subject
lin the current number of Our Dumb
| Animals" He says:
I'VE are sometimes criticised for
destroying a wornout, wholly unfit and
suffering horse belonging to some poor
man on the ground that to deprive him
of it is to take away his means of sup
port for himself and family. Children,
we are told, must not go hungry to
save a horse from suffering.
I'VE admit there seems to be force
in this plea. But for the poor man to
use lame, broken-do horse is to
violate the law. Does the State permit
a father whose children are in need
| of bread to transgress other laws in
order to obtain it? The fact of his
poverty may mitigate the circum-
GER of the law in disregarding violence
or theft.
No poor man using an unfit horse
| in an emergency is ever prosecuted byI
our society unless he wilfully persists
| in ignoring the law.
Should man be allowed to own a
horse when the only one he can afford
to buy is one so infirm or crippled that
| 1t is an offense against the law to use
lit? If the society organized for the
| prevention of cruelty to animals does
mot protect the horse and end his days
of suffering, is it not failing in it's mis-
! sion?"
| Sanitation in watering troughs for
horses is desirable not only for the
horse but for all neighoors of the wat
ering place. Grand Rapids, Michigan
has adopted a new form of rock-foun-
tains for animals which has proved so
satisfactory that the city authorities
plan to replace all wooden troughs
with them There are already twenty
two in use.
These drinking fountains are huge
boulders, weighing from two to four
tons each with a basin several feet in
diameter, followed out and connected
by an inlet pipe with the municipal
mains. A deep groove terminating at
the mouth of a large pipe leading to
the sewer system, permits the escape
of surplus water and all offensive sub
stances which collect and make the
average drinking trough a nuisance.
Much has been written on the dog
but q clever comment was made on
that saying of Alexander Dumas, pere,
Dogs are candidates for humanity"
when some one said. "They already
have many of its virtues and few of its
vices"
