THE HARRISBURG S. p. C. A.

OCCASIONALLY some one says
patronizingly, The S. p. c. A..
that is the society that bothers
itself with dogs and cats-when there
is so much other suffering in the
world"
Such sneer argues a total miscon-
ception of the aims of the Harris
burg S. P. C. A. and of what it has
accomplished since it was chartered
May 2, 1911. Moreover, there are
fifty agencies to ease that "other
suffering" to one that "bothers ITSELF
with animals.
Modern intelligence is doing all II
can, not only to relieve suffering but
to remove the cause. Economists
psychologists, scientific philanthrop.
lists are bending all their energies to
promote the happiness of the world
What a sorry thing it would be te
limit the right to happiness. freedom
from suffering, to man.
Man. weak and oppressed though he
be, can to a certain extent fight his
own battles; animals must put up with
whatever Is handed to them. Until
the last fifty years this meant, in many
cases. sheer brutality. Then came
Henry Berg, George T. Angel. Caro-.
line Earl White and other pionee,
humanitarians. who against scorn, op.
position, often persecution, determined
to give animals a chance.
The first step in Pennsylvania was
the anti-cruelty law of 1869. Thi,
Act of Assembly was drastic and
sufflcient-if enforced. Five year,
ago the Harrisburg S. P. C. A. was
formed to ensure that enforcement,
also to develop feeling of kindness
to all animals. From modest be.

IT\HERE is negro story of q turkey
4 who, every time it showed, drew
his feathers about him and firm
ly resolved to build him house. But
before he could decide where to build,
or what kind of house, the sun came
out and he would shake out his feath-
ers, strut around and say to himself:
Nobody wants to be in a house on a
day like this and the result was he
froze to death one winter night.
There are a lot of people in the
same frame of mind as the turkey
When things are going wrong, work
Is slack, times are hard, sickness or
accident comes and their money is
gone, they firmly resolve that in the
future they will take care of their
money and look out for the rainy
day; build them a house, as it were;
but as soon as things right themselves
they forget their good resolution and
the next time of need finds them as
Ill prepared as ever.
Most of us are merely grown-up
children. We want what we want
when we want 1t. We live day by
day. Tomorrow is a vague uncer-
tainty to us. The boy will gorge him
self with, green apples in June and
rorget that there is a physical law
against eating green apples. To-mor-
row he will find it out, and may re-
soiVe not to eat green apples again;
but good resolution never gets o
man anywhere unless he keeps it.
Many New Years promise is made
only to be broken and pledges are
signed only to be forgotten How
many man has resolved to stop
drinking when drinking has brought
him in court! He should have stop

Thousands of men have firmly re-

Mr.. Kennedy's Party

Writing of the Kennedy party at
Ragged Edge, Girard in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger on Saturday said:
president Moorehead c. Kennedy of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad, to-
day gives his big party at Ragged
Edge, Chambersburg. 1t is an annual
affair and is much the most famous
entertainment given in Pennsylvania
Colonel A. K. Mcclure used to say
that he and Mr.. Kennedy's father were
kept busy during the Civil war turn
ing Chambersburg over to Confederate
armies.
ut is the duty of the present head
of the Kennedy family to act as a
sort of godfather to the entire Cum
berland Valley and host-in-chief to
the State at large. His hospitality
makes Chambersburg the yearly COW
eted Mecca of notable gathering of
railroad and bank officials.
II doubt if any other railroad presi-
dent on the continent who heads so
important a line as he holds quite the
unique relations with O. great COM
munity that are enjoyed by Mr.. Ken
nedy.
"A long special train carries to Mr..
Kennedy's party from Philadelphia a
great number Of this towns men who
do big things.
Here is a fact about that train that
may interest you. 1t will have on
board at least s4,OO0,O 600 worth of ac-
cident insurance.
THAT is not an aspersion on the
'Pennsy,' which has not killed a pas
senger for some years, but it indicates
what a prudent lot of folks railroad
officials are. They take no chances.
l am reliably informed by an insur-
ance man who knows the facts def
nitely that this particular train will
haul more accident insurance than
was ever hauled before upon any train
in the world.
"Policies of 500, 900 will be as prev
alent as gestures at a French picnic.
And there will be some a great deal
larger than that"

MONDAY EVENING,

has curtailed opportunity by the
eternal vigilance of paid police
officer who prevents cruelty when he
can, prosecutes it when he must. 1t
also employs paid veterinary to see
that stray animals are mercifully
killed.
Sometimes people question not the
motives of the society, but the exist
ence of cruelty. A day at headquar-
ters would speedily convince them. In
the past two months over two hundred
complaints were investigated and
more than eight hundred visits of
supervision to dumps, stables, points
of heavy hauling and the markets
were paid.
One complaint, from Perry county,
was of such fragrant brutality as to
convince the most sceptical of cruelty.
An intoxicated man drove his horse
until 1t fell and broke one leg;
managing to get it up he lashed the
poor beast for over q mile, with the
bone sticking through the flesh, until
it fell again with the other leg broken.
The case was reported, the agent of
the Harrisburg s. P. c. A. promptly
prosecuted and the man was fined.
Though conditions have greatly i'm
proved since 1911, this is but one of
many cases calling for the interfer-
ence of the society. Though run on
careful business principles, it costs
about $1,000 year to finance it. This
must be met by dues, special contri-
buttons and fines. With the campaign
of education and decrease of cruelty
the fines have also decreased.
The society now finds itself without
funds; has been forced to borrow
money. 1t asks the generous support
of the public in this crisis. Must it's
humane work stop? Are we willing
to see animals once more brutally
treated-as they will be without q
watchful agent7 1t is up to the peo-
pie.

THE WAY TO TREAT MExnCo

TN the Ladies' Home Journal Presi-
dent Wilson writes about Mexico.
He says that America will honor
herself and prove the validity of her
own principles by treating Mexico as
she would wish Mexico to treat her."
Much as we admire the Presidents s
use of language, we cannot help
thinking that something like this has
been said beforehand said much bet
ter: Therefore all things whatsoever
ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them; for this is the
law and the prophets" - Matthew
vii, Z.
And He who spoke thus, nineteen
hundred years before Mr.. Wilson,
practiced what He preached.
Mr.. Wilson did not. He said that
Huerta should not assume the presi-
dency of Mexico and forbade him
even to become a candidate for the
place in n constitutional manner. Does
Wilson want Carranza to say that Will
son shall not be President of the
United States? Is that the way we
want Mexico to treat us?
Wilson seized the custom house at
Vera Cruz and he collected a million
dollars in duties there -w which he
still keeps-because Huerta didn't
salute the American flag. Does Will
son want Mexico to treat US that way {?
Wilson permitted arms and am
munition to be shipped down into
Mexico to be used by rebels against
such government as existed there. In
case Chief Murphy and the Tammany
tribe should decide to wage martial
instead of political warfare on Wilson,
would Wilson want Mexico to supply
the Tammany braves with the means
to carry on their armed rebellion?
The fact is that Wilson has not let
America treat Mexico as she would be
treated. He has insisted on treating
Mexico in accordance with his own
shifting as to men and conditions
down there. That is not the way to
treat Mexico. The way to treat
Mexico is to demand and to be pre-
pared to enforce the treaty and other
rights of Americans resident there.
What would you have done?" shout
ed Democratic hecfler at Hughes in
Tennessee. II would have protected
American rights replied Hughes.
That is the way to treat Mexico.

The melancholy days have come, the
saddest of the year" Thus sang Will
liam Cullen Bryant of the autumn sea-
son. His plaintive words find an echo
in the Federal Treasury. where on the
first days of Fall (September 21) the
deficit for the fiscal year to date was
shown to be $45.24S,21S. Last year at
that time the deficit was s32, 14O,55O. The
expenditures since June 80 were stated
at S206, 6,473,149. as against $170,341,S1S
for the same period last year.

BY THE SOUTH FOR THE SOUTH

TIME Houston Post attempts an
other answer to the accusation
that "the South is in the sad
die" The Post approaches the ques-
tions from an angle on the flank, and
presents a list of Southern men who
have been elected to office in the
North. instancing Senators Lewis.
Harris, Poindexter. Chamberlain and
Newlands to show that there is moth
ing in the charge of sectionalism. But
the list itself gives emphasis to the is
sue. No Northerners are ever elected
to high position by the ruling party
In the South. The Democrats of the
South are thoroughly narrow and par
ochial in their views and they do not
practice reciprocity for the men of
their section who have come North
and secured political success. The
North, as we have so many times
said, is national in thought and action
and 1t is this which makes Southern
domination so irritating, because the
South does not look beyond its own
borders, does not consider any but its
own purposes No one in the North
wishes to mulct the South, as, for in
stance, the South mulcts the North.

come North are welcome in all enter

ment as for all the people.
