half-starved and abused cats and kit

IRENE worry to people Of true human

menace to the health of the commun-

neglected creatures may contract dis

many another sin, the innocent have
to suffer for the guilty. The large

Animal Rescue Work
BY ISABEL W. DEPUTY.

The question Of properly conducted
shelters or homes for the lower ami
mails. whose lives are so closely con-
nected with mankind. is only begin
ming TO be regarded in a fair, I'M
prejudced lighi. A shelter for ami
mails should be regarded as one
Of the imperative needs of every
city and town. It is worth not
ing, however. that many OF our
large cities have we'll organized shell
ters. where dumb animals OF all kinds
in distress can he taken and humanely
cared for or painlessly put to death.
Many of the smaller cities and towns
are also waking up TO the need OF
these shelters or receiving stations.
and are endeavoring to establish
these leagues, recognizing that
through such shelter work alone can
superfluous animals be humanely
cared for
This rescue work is a new form of
work for animals. with the same mo-
tive, but somewhat different method

the need. i'm that they fail TO provide
homes for lost, sick. injured or de-

Animal Rescue League plans to rem
edy in providing the animal a home
or disposing OF it in a humane man
ner.
How much need there IS in every
city OF a shelter for the lower crea-
ton is shown by the fact that during
1915 the Boston Animal Rescue
League received 33.45S small animals
Of which number 2S.233 were cats and
kittens. 4,O17 dogs and puppies; they
also have a record OF 276 birds. The
league purchased out Of their "Horse

crepit horses: that although unfit for
work by reason OF old age or other
infmities, could not be taken away by
law from their owners. who. in mosi

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THE PROPOSED REASsESSMENT


from the Snow Hill People.l
The effort on the part of the State
Tax Commission to have general re-
assessment in all the counties of the
State, with Baltimore city excepted, is
meeting with vigorous protest in some
of the counties and very little enthusi-
asm anywhere. As reported last week
in The People, injunction proceedings
have been begun in Frederick county,
and on the strength of this the commits
sioners in several of the counties dis
regarded tax commissioners orders to
name assessors on or before Tuesday
July 25, thus simifying their intention
Of standing pat, until the outcome OF
the injunction proceedings is deter
mined.
It is being maintained that the exclu-
sion of Baltimore City from the plan OF
reassessment is unconstitutional, and on
this the injunction is based. 1t is claim
ed that there is no more need for a re-
assessment in the counties than in Bal
timore City and this effort TO saddle an
unjust burden upon the former should
be stoutly resisted by the taxpayers of
the county. For there will be a burden
if the plan of assessing all real property
Mt its market value is carried out. This
will raise the assessable basis of the
county and consequently lower the rate,
but the amount of State tax will be
greatly increased as the tax rate is
fixed for the next two years.
A general revision of both real and
personal property looking TO equaliza-
tion of assessment between individual
taxpayers is badly needed here in Wor-
cester. But there is much doubt Of the
accomplishment of this in a satisfactory
and economical manner as planned by
the State Tax Commission.
General disapproval of the proposed
reassessment is being freely expressed
and il has been suggested that the lead
ing taxpayers of the county meet in
Snow Hill. Berlin and Pocomoke City
Saturday afternoon to discuss the infor-

The Republican and Progressive Candidate

CFrom the New York SUM-

They who have been waiting on

tire satisfaction-Or complete disap-
pointment, as the case may be-in the
report of the Carnegie Hall meeting
last night. The room overlooked with

The party Of Abraham Lincoln is

united In confidence and in hopes for
the accomplishment of that purpose,

Hughes as the representative and
leader OF all who desire that the Gov
eminent Of this country shall be res
cued from the hands which have
shaped its misfortunes during the
miserable four years now past or
passing, The presence OF Colonel
Roosevelt was one OF the impressive
features of the meeting; and the soul
within him must have responded with
delight to the clean cut sentences i'm
which Mr.. Hughes expressed in his
own fashion those demands Of Ameri-
canism and those enunciations OF pa
triotic sentiment which have aroused
the nation to its duty this year.
The second thing for which peopIe
will look eagerly in this mornings
report of the opening event of the
campaign is the manner in which the
candidate. recently in q place remote
from political concerns. has grasped
and understood and formulated the
great questions before the nation.
The speech Of Mr. Hughes accepting
the nomination leaves no doubt as to
where Re stands with regard to any
essential issue. An utterance so
strong and honest. so free from the
consciousness OF phraseology, so void
