Meswiney's life with their own!
An italian baby, three years
old, fell from a fourth story win
dow. dropping rapidly toward tbs
stone sidewalk and death. "A cat
passing at the moment was struck
in the back by the falling child
The child was not seriously hurt.
The cats back was broken, 1t died.
Question for those that oppose
vivisection under all circumstances,
painless or otherwise: "f you had
been at hand, would you have
warned the cat and allowed the
baby TO crush its skull, or would
you have said, 1T is better to sac
rifce one cat and save one child
All purely experimental vivisec-
ton should be punished by i'm
prisonment. All vivisection, other
wise than under complete anesthe-
STA, where no pain is felt, Should
be forbidden.
But those that rejoice to see a
passing cat save the life Of one
child should not oppose scientific,
painless vivisection, yielding re-
suits like the diphtheritic or ty-
phoid antitoxin, that saves, and
will save, untold millions Of lives.

Before the moving picture it re-
tires to it's rest, like the hanson
cab driver by the taxi. These are
days of speed. The move" can
show you more in five minutes
than Henry Ward Beecher could
tell you in an hour, and besides We
haven't any Henry Ward Beecher.
How many men worth hearing can
you mention?
Men and women will sing and
speak on the talking machine.
They will dance, act, fall over
cliffs for the moving picture ma
chine. The individual appearing
before his fellow men is becoming
a thing of the past. Even the Pope
in the Vatican poses for the moving
picture and allows it to take him
all over the world.
Mr.. Cox says he is "sure that
mothers of America want the
League of Nations" He underesti-
mates the intelligence of mothers.
The mothers of America are not
dull, and they can understand SIM
pie English. They don't want war.
if it Gan be honorably avoided, and
in any case they don't want 1t
forced on their sons by a foreign
council. Article X of the league,
to which Mr.. Cox has pledged HIM
self, says that members of the
league undertake to preserve IT,,
territorial integrity of all members
of the league. If the United States
entered the league, and Russia,
for instance, attacked the terri
tory of any member of the league.
the sons of the mothers of Amer
lea" and the dollars of the fathers
of America, would have to 20 and
fight Russia. And they would go.
not by order of the Congress of
the United States, elected by Amer
ican fathers, mothers, etc, but by
order of foreign council, in which
this country would be mere
cipher with only one vote against
all the votes of Europe. Article X,
about which Democrats might as
well stop lying, since it is written
in such plain English, says: "In
case of any such aggression, or in
case of any threat or danger Of
such aggression. the council
shall advise (which means shall
decide) upon the means by which
this obligation shall be fulfilled"
In other words-and the mothers
of America before they vote for
the League of Nations and Cox
should thoroughly understand it
If the United States enters the
League of Nations, it agrees, When
called upon, to defend every foot
of the territory of any other MEM
Der of the League, including every
foot of the gigantic British En-
pire. And a foreign council will
decide who shall supply the men
and the money.
European nations have had
enough fighting, and too much.
- ana tney are pTactlcally OdnkEuIi..
All are convinced and plainly say
that this country failed in its duty
last time, didn't do enough fight
ing, didn't lose enough men, didn't
spend enough money. Mothers Of
America know what that foreign
council would "advise" as 10 tie
fighting that must be done by the
sons of the mothers of America or
the amount of money to be sup
piled by the fathers of America in
another war.
In that foreign council all
foreign votes will vote aye" on
the question: "Shall America do it,
shall the mothers of America sup
ply the fighters and the fathers OF
America supply the money"
There would be one solitary,
feeble little American vote "No."
The ayes would have it.
And the mothers of America
would find themselves packing up
the belongings of their sons for
another trip across the ocean.
Every mother of America knows
or can easily find some American
