HUMANE SOCIETY MAKES
APPEAL TO CHURCHES
Aid OF Pastors Has Been Secured for
Observance of Next Sunday as
Humane Sunday.

Next Sunday will be observed as
Humane Sunday in the churches OF
the city. In response to an appeal
from the South Bend Humane society,
the pastors OF the citX have agreed
to preach sermons appropriate to the
occasion. The humane societies of
the whole country are making the APP
peal for such an observance of this
Sunday with the expressed hope that
in this way religious people may be
taught their duty in helping to intro
duce practical humanity into human
conduct
Suggestions are made from the
headquarters of The American HUI
name association as TO available texts
which may be successfully used on
Humane Sunday. Among other texts
suggested are the following: Psalm
1866. 80 Lord. Thou preservest man
and beast" Luke 6:36, BE we there
fore merciful, as your Father also is
merciful." James 6:36. For he shall
have judgment without mercy, that
hath showed no mercy; and mercy
rejOiceth against judgment" Psalm
1859, The Lord is good to ALL and
His tender mercies are over all His
works" Matt. ST.. Blessed are the
lnGIGlIult lOE lutN Shall OOldln
mercy" Proverbs 1910, "A righteous
man regardeth the life of his beast;
but the tender mercies of the wicked
are cruel" Matt 1929, Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing? And
one of them shall not fall to the
ground without your Father"
There are 55S active anti-cruelty
societies in the United States and 10
state humane education committees
or societies. Fifteen states have COM
pulsory humane education laws. Last
year these societies employed 2,13S
paid men and 367 paid women and
25,004 voluntary agents. The total
receipts from all sources amounted
to S2.211.45S.76 and S1,944, 513. SO were
disbursed. There were 243,937 chill
dren and 2,S44,721 animals involved,
and 3S,S17 cases of cruelty were pros
ecuted. There are humane societies
in every state in the Union.

FAIR NEWSPAPER coURrEslEs,

The Herald seldom feels called upon
to take up any matters Of personal
nature, especially relating to the
morning Democrat, but as that paper
referred to this publication inferring
that it was the recipient of favors
not extended to the Democrat, we
feel it but right to refer to it edi-
torially.
In the first place we do not be-
lieve any favoritism was intended, but
that it was simply an oversight. The
opening day, not having received the
usual newspaper courtesies, Secretary
Murray was called on and the same
were forthcoming. Had the Democrat
management done the same it would
have received the same consideration,
but it is barely possible the editor
sight. In this connection We desire
to say that it must have been an
oversight that the usual courtesies
were not made out and mailed a
Wtch VI titt OPcHtds
This paper is in receipt of such com
plimentaries from all over the state
and especially neighboring counties
every year some time prior to the
opening day, and it is too bad this
was overlooked on the part Of the
local fair this year. We have not
been informed if the courtesies were
sent to outside papers. We hope so,
otherwise they might regard it as a
slight when it was not intended. So
far as the necessary printing and
advertising it was, as it should be, di
vided between the two Durango pa
pers-
In this connection, also, some people
may wonder why newspaper should
have complimentaries if paid for reg
ular space and work. Because it is
the continual boosting in the news
columns that attracts. 1t costs the
Herald more for extra reporters than
it gets out of the advertising and
il we have to pay for reporters to
get in the grounds to get the news
the fair people are anxious TO have
published it is asking too much But
as before stated. this paper was not
selected for special favors and the
Democrat slighted-we know this al
though we have not conversed with
Mr.. Murray or any of the directors.
1t was an oversight and resulted from
the matter not being attended to
week or two in advance. No San
Juan basin newspaper should be oblig-
ed to ask for courtesies that are due
them.

THE MIDDLE WEST
ON PREPAREDNESS

The tri-cities of Davenport, Rock
Island and Moline, together with the
towns of East Moline and Bettendorf,
have called a conference of congress
men, government officials and news
paper men to consider the question
of preparedness. A two days meet
ing will be held October Ia and Is.
The object is to get the opinion of
the middle west on the most vital
question before the nation today. The
charge is often made that the Allan
tic border states are prejudiced in
their radical views in favor of war
preparation. The conference in which
only the states of Iowa, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Nebraska, North and South Da-
kato take part will indicate the true
middle western feeling.
The tri-cities have selfish in
terest in calling the meeting as they
want to get the congressman interest
ed in the Rock Island arsenal The
government has already invested 13
million dollars in it. The immense
shop buildings have thirty acres of
floor space. 1t has large economical
water plant. The arsenal is located on
900 acre island and perfectly safe
from attack.

all his acquaintances. In addition TO
