JUSTICE TO ANIMALS
By E. A. Frederick, State Humane
Officer

By E. A. Frederick, State Humane
officer.
eve cannot be just unless we are
kind-hearted. -Vauvenargues.
While we discuss human right,
property rights, rights of citizenship
and many others, we must not for
get about the rights of dumb an
imals. AS a creaturesof God, a dumb
animal. like a human being also has
certain inherent and "inalienable
rights"
Among these are the right to live,
and. when under the control of man,
to be well fed, sheltered, cared for,
and kindly treated. He who fails in
these toward his animals is unjust,
untrue to his profession as higher
being, and unworthy of the trust
which God has placed in his keeping
Especially is this true because of
the inability of the animal to make
who will take advantage of his lord
ship of the helpless is cowardly and
Of low moral character.
1t then also follows, that CORES
ponding duty is imposed upon people
everywhere to see that dumb ami
mails, even though not their own
property, are protected from neglect
and cruel usage by others. The
principle of being our brothers keep
er applies also to our brothers ami
mails. If manhood and civilization
mean anything they mean intoler-
ance of any neglect or cruelty to
helpless creatures.

CURRENT COMMENT.

A FARMER subscriber writes hi
views on the railroad freight
question. lie says: 1T IL hard foi
me to understand the apparent leth-
Argy Of the public and press regard
ing the excessive freight rates, We
~ farmers cannot look for the higher
prices for farm products until there
Is : material lowering Of freight
rates. In some parts Of Colorado
farmers arc holding perishable crops
in store that never may reach the
consumer because, ~ the farmer says,
they cannot pay the sxtortionAte
freight rates, II Is noticeable that
~ soon ~ the last rise In railroad
rates was granted prices OF farm
products began TO decline. Perhaps,
some rise In freight and passenger
rates was Justified but my opinion Is
that the advance vns beyond reason
and that 1t viii result in damage
eventually to the railroads themselves
II II . cAss VI killing the goose that
laid the golden egg. Railroads must
have freight to haul II they are to pay
expenses and reasonable dividends.
They must maintain certain amount
Of equipment and keep certain num-
Der Of employees whether they are
hauling freight and passengers or not.
II an engine can pub 100 freight ears
loaded 1t costs but little more to haul
them loaded than empty. | am con-
WINGED that the high freight rates
have tended TO eurtail production and
and therefore have ne
dueed the business of the railroad
Furthermore, the final
result is going 10 be another wave OF
public sentiment against the railroads
which may result in radical and I'M
wise Legislation. Wise railroad man
ayers ought to understand this fact.
The history Of the past indicates that
