Taft has said, since Senator Harding
was nominated, that if he had been
member of the Senate he.wou!d have
waited for ratification without reserya-
tions or conditions. Is it not fo'ly for
Mr.. Harding to pretend that it sacrl-
fees the independence of the United
States?
Four years ago Theodore Roosevelt
wrote the book "America and TIE
Great War" in which he insisted upon
"oosse conlitatus Of nations" as ne
called it, with the same powers and
the same purposes as the League, and
he said the United States ought to

OBITUA
Robert knmber

Robert Kamber, senior partner of the
Kamber, Frank q Bregstein stores OF
New York and other cities, and the
founder of the Red 49, store of this
city, died Thursday night at his home
in New York city.
Mr. Kamber was born in Berlin, Ger
many, "a years ago and came to this
country as a boy of II. About So years
ago he started the Red 49, store and
conducted the business for ten years,
taking Mr. Frank and Mr.. Bregstein in
to the business with him. About % years
ago he moved to New York, where he
has since been the head of the firm of
Robert Kamber & company. clothing
manufacturers of So Fifth avenue.
Mr. Kamber had been in impaired
health for several years, and because of
this had not been actively engaged in
business for some time. For the past
six months his condition has been one of
gradual decline.
Mr.. Kamber is known in New York as
the founder of the famous New York
Sun bread line, which was established
during the winter of 1914 About the first
of March of that year. when there was
much suffering from unemployment, the
editor of the Sun received n letter from
Mr.. Kamber suggesting the establish
l
| of the needy and backing his suggestion
with a check for $1,000. Accordingly, the
depot was opened on March at 26O
| Elizabeth street and was Immediately
besieged by hundreds of starving men
| and women. Many other generous peo-
pie FASTENED to contribute their support
| to the fund. so The Sun was able to MAIN
tain the depot as long as there was need
during the winters of 1914. 1915 and 1915.
Thousands of persons out of work were
fed at the depot and through the offices
of kindly disposed visitors, a. large per-
| centage of the idle obtained employment
and many deserving instances of poverty
were allevated.
Upon inquiry at the time of Mr.. KAN
bers gift it was found that this was by
no means his first charitable enterprise
as he held the perhaps unique position
of contributor to every hospital in the
city, at least to the best of his knowl-
edge.
Mr.. Kamber is we'll known in this city
as successful and competent business
man. He is survived by his wife and
three children. two boys and a girl. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon al
his home in New York city.

says that many COW has been strangled
to death by dishcloth being put down
it's throat for the same purpose.
An equally sensible procedure Is to
burn live chicken If there is disease In
the poultry. This ceremony ia supposed
to improve the health Of the flock,
though how making one chicken suffer
can help the rest of 1t is hard to UNDER
stand.
The Bureau of Animal Industry of the
Department Of Agriculture grows indg-
nant over these and similar cruelties.
There is an abundance of literature on
animal diseases which can be had from
the department for the asking" said an
official of the bureau. 'Such medieval
methods, when they do not kill the VIC
tim can only result in slower growth
and stunning"
The hold that old customs have on the
people of community is due to the fact
that they are old and ingrained. Some
of the superstitious practices in regard
to care of cattle can be traced back to
ancient times.
You may remember the Bible story,
over five thousand years old, of Laban
land Jacob and their flocks. The two
| patriarchs agreed to divide their flock
of sheep. Jacob was to have the varie-
gated offspring, and Laban those OF
! solid color. In order to increase his
share, Jacob took popular wands and
partly peeled them and placed them in
| the pastures. The idea was that the
sight of the spotted sticks would in
fluence the ewes, and their lambs would
| be varlegated.
This idea has long been pronounced
common to find a modern farmer who
paints the fence of his barnyard en-
closure black, to keep up the black
! strain in his cattle.
