MOTION PICTURE CRUEL TY.
Again ut AusabIe Chasm n Property
Man Abused Birds.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
letters about the horse that was forced
over the cliffs at Ausable Chasm have
given me courage TO write to you about
what my son and I saw at Ausable
when n party OF men. women and chill
dren Of a certain moving picture COM
pany came to take pictures in the
ne~lghborhood.
The property mar had in his care two
fying squirrels, two brown rabbits, two
India mudlarhs. two brown wood doves.
a blackbird and "a white carrier pigeon.
These were in n cage boxes too
small. They We're ~irregularly fed and
the cages were not kept clean.
For "A few days the birds were all in
one cage. The mud.arks killed one
dove by pecking It's head open. besides
other wounds. Then the second dove
was pecked raw all down its back and
the top Of one leg. so the dove could no
longer stand but lay at the bottom OF
the cage, one leg stretched out behind
It. In an orchard behind the house pic
lures of the birds were taken. The dove
was carried there In a cage. lying on tho
floor beating It's head against tho bars.
The man took the love roughly out. cnt
the feathers of one wing off close. set
the dove on a branch where its pictures
were taken. Then this man said 10 the
photographer: "What shall / do with
IT, ION. throw 1t away" was tho
answer.
lie then threw this bird. with its body
all wounds. no power to use its legs or
wings. up Into a tree. and the bird tel

An Electorate That Does Itself
Credit.

The political campaign whose re-
suits will be recorded tomorrow has
been conducted with sobriety aud dig.
nifty worthy Of the important questions
that will he decided at the polls. The
discussion Of the proposed Constitution
has enlisted on both sides the most
respectable minds In the State. and
has been carried forward. with notably
few exceptions, in a spirit Of enlight-
eminent and N for the purpose Of
arousine prejudice. 1t has been con.
spicuously non-partisan, and some Of
the contributions made to it have a
permanent value which Is even now
recognizable.
We have already expressed ad-
miralion for the manner I'm which the
advocates and opponents OF woman
suffrage have comported themselves in
their struggle. 1t was scarcely to he
expected that The canvass on this sub
ject would be without blundcrs and
serious errors OF Judgment. Vet as
we survey It's progress we No not recall
any incident seriously embarrassing To
the responsible managers on either
side; n political chronicle unusual. to
say the least. 1t has been apparent
that the earnestness and sincerity of
the campaigners have commanded the
respect Of those n whom they ap.
pealei. whether they have succeeded
in convincing them or not. and this
constitutes in itself a triumph by 10
means small.
In the contest for local offices Judge
Sw \ alone has been the target Of
unjustiflcd attack, and the quickly dis
played pubic disapproval Of the as.
saults made on him gave no comfort TO
their authors. II was shown that the
electorate was not in n mood to listen
to mere abuse. and was intelligcntly
considering the problems and person
alities put before 1t.
An electorate controlled by such
motives Is a better guaranty of stable
and efficient government than any con
stiiution. any rule Of suffrage or any
distribution Of offices. IL carries within
Itself a sufficient protection against
demagogy AMI false pretence. the most
potent and insidlous foes Of popular
rule, AMI ~ long as it preserves its
sense Of responsibility AMI moderation
Incidental errors in the application Of
it's power can have no permanent
harmful effect.

The project for an independent
Tkrainia is fatally crippled by hy-
phen!tis. The intended symbol of com
position is there, as elsewhere, an
actual agent of observance. Nations
are constituted by community OF in
terests rather more than by racial
ties, and it Is difficult to conceive as
happy a nation with a Slavic right
hand and a Teuton left hand. The
Ukrainian congress must accept heart
lest assurance of American sympathy
and friendliness, while practical judg-
ment is compelled to deny the posi-
bility OF realizing the vision of union
and independence.
