Poor Boys in Law.

10 Tie Editor, Ths Washington HeraIt:
Your editorial. entitled Raising
the Bars" which appeared in the is
sue of September l. should be read
by every American in the country.

in our national city there Is at
least one editor broadminded and
courageous enough to speak out in
open meeting" in behalf of the poor
boys of the nation
Hard work IL the main stock In
trade of the poor boy of this coun-
try and IL, by the sweat Of his brow
and the burning of midnight OIL be
masters the principles of the law
sufficiently to pass the bar examin-
alton of his home State, which, by
the way. should be the sole test OF
his fitness I fail to see whose bus-
ness IL Is whether he acquires .
college education or not.
People whom a college education
has benefited realize that they do
not know so much, after all, and are
certainly the last to insist that Q
man cannot make good In this coun-
try because he has not been meas-'
Hred with the same yard-stick OF
higher learning"

Pellagra Scare.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The recent pelagra scare, which
was not justified by the facts, does
the South a gross injustice. Tae
probable cause Of this misreprc-

thusiasm of DR.. Goldbsrger. an Of

Cruelty to Animals.

To the Editor, The Washington Heral1:
In practically every large city
there is a branch Of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails, and this city is no exception,
and yet one constantly sees much
cruelty to and neglect of our dumb
friends. 1t is the writer's under
standing that the 8. p. c, A. has
among its members many OF the
wealthy .ef the land and that 1t is

personal experience has been that
whan 1. have written to the s. p,
c. A. regarding certain conditions

not receive the courtesy of an ac-
acknowledgement and the conditions
to which called attention, remained
unchanged. but this spirit is often
prevalent when help is paid to do
humanitarian work.
A few weeks ago in Washington
there was a parade on Pennsylvania
avenue. the object OF which was
to enlist the sympathies of the
people in our dumb friends and to
influence us all to give more time
and attention to the care of same.
I am. therefore. constrained to
bring to the attention of your
readers the pitiful plight of the
humble hens that we see huddled in
crates outside many of the grocery
stores in this city. True. they are
awaiting execution. but must they
be tortured in the interim? The
hen is accustomed to anything but
a cage: it likes to flap its wings
and scratch for food. These poor crea-
lures are penned UP for hours at a
time in a box SO small that they
can scarcely move. no care being
