Turning the Light on Oneself
lOur Dumb Animalsl

The man who thinks the whole realm
of animal life is so entirely beneath Sc.
rious consideration as to be treated,
when it pleases him, with contempt, OF
as a joke discloses 4 nature, at its in.
most center, hard and selfish--a nature
TO fail human friend in his hour of
need
out of what grew Japan's desire to
build a memorial to the horses who died
in her war with Russia? out of one
of the noblest impulses of the human
heart-grateful remembrance. Why did
men and women in South Africa set up
a statue to commemorate the horses
who fell on the fields of battle where
Englishman and Boer laid down their
lives? Because there awoke within their
souls the consciousness of an unpayable
debt. In some way they had to express
themselves. With no exception known to
us the finest minds in the history of lit.
erature and art and religion the men
and women who have seen with clear.
est vision and felt with deepest passion,
have recognized the claim of that vast
world of life below them for reverent
and just and sympathetic regard.
We have no idea who he was who
wrote the brief editorial comment in
the Boston Transcript with which we
close, but in the clearness with which
he recognized a profound truth he has

man, who by threats or by actual vio-
lence against the non union man, strives
TO keep him out of employment, real

that he is helping to murder human

that which on the great Judgment

SENATORS IGNORE THE PEOPLE

Z VERY DAY that passes brings new proofs
Lthat President Wilson was right when he
told the senate that there can be no escape from
the effects of the war until the United States
filed its acceptance of the terms of peace with
Germany; that is, until the treaty ceases to be
a mere memorandum of an agreement and be-
comes binding contract.
Abundant colroboraton of the presidents
statement is supplied by the senate itself. While
the problems of the present press for solution,
while industry and commerce and government
itself inger between peace and war, with none
of the certainty of either to steady them the re-
publican ma iority in the senate debates hypo-
thetcal crises of the future. Practical consider
alton of the countrys immediate needs in legls-
laton is abandoned for academic discussions of
the affairs of other times and other peoples.
The American people who are supposed to
be the senate's masters and who certainly are its
paymaSters, have been waiting with more or less
patience for some action that would formally
and finally end the war and produce the status
of permanent peace. But the senate has Ignored
the wishes and demands of its own constituents
to hear the complaints of outsiders. Of course,
this show of interest in the representatives of
small nations, old and new, is prompted by par
tiSanShip; but whatever its motive, its result IS
mistakable-delay of peace, postponement of
reconstruction, disturbance of business, hamper
ing of every activity, public and private.
Disposition of the railroads is alone a sub
ect to which the senate should have been de-
voting large portion of its time and its
very best thought Production and distribution
depend in large measure on the railroads, and
whatever affects them for good or i'll has a cor
responding reaction on every industry and activ-
ity in the land But the senate not only has
failed to move but even to give sign that it re-
CARDS the question with serious concern
Meantime, the senate, under the pressure of
its republican leaders, lends ear to the repre-
sentatives' small minorities who speak not for
the United States but for other nations. 1t is
time that the American people are heard by the
senate.
