d. A. r. Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Shuk -ho-ta Tom-a-ha Chapter of the
d. A. r. was held at the Woman's
Club last Wednesday morning with
Mrs. Hugh Harrison presiding. After
the regular routine of business and
reports of all the committees, the
election of delegates to the state con-
vention, which is to be held at Port
Gibson in February, took place with
the following chosen to represent this
chapter: Mrs. Sarah Sheffield, Miss
Ella Sherrod, Mrs. Landrum, Mrs.
Burton Lincoln, Mrs. Jack Morgan,
Mrs. L. A. Vaughn, Mrs. e. p. Viii
kinson, Miss Augusta Equen and Mrs.
T. w. Hardy. The alternates: Mrs.
J. I. Sturdivant, Mrs. George Sher-
man, Mrs. Frank Restler, Mrs. Willis
Garth, Mrs Ben Owen and Miss Mary
Bnlups. The convention is 4 very inn
portant one as the state officers are
to be chosen. Quite nice program

dangers of such a sea journey by say
ing that they were religious fanatics
and would do anything for the spread
of their religion. He also makes ii
clear that the face of Buddha as
shown in the images represented an
ideal of meditation and placidity
which may have been far from indi-
cative of the attitude of mind of his
devotees.
Columbus and his fellow-explorers,
it must be recalled, were devout fol
lowers of one who taught placidity
and who thought it of more import
ance to conquer ones self than to
overrun the world.
There is, from a purely logical and
historical standpoint, much Co 'be said
for DR.. Holmes theory. Scores of
skilled Investigators have found con-
vincing evidence of Asiatic intrusion
in America. He will, however, I'M
doubtedly be violently attacked by
psychologists without number who
will poO-pooh the suggestion and find
flaws in the way he handles his facts
But for the average American he
will not fail to hurl Columbus from
his pedestal because of a lack of ar
guments so much as from the fact
that we have become so dependent up
on Columbus, that, science or no
science, we cannot get along without
him.
Think of the textbooks that would
have to be scrapped! Think Of losing
that anchor for wandering wits
1892! Think of all teachers and par
ents having to admit to their trust
ing youngsters that their eyes had
been turned in the wrong direction and
that the way to the New World was
by the Pacific.
If a few sleek-faced idols can crowd
Columbus from the frontispiece, how
are we to be secure in our hold upon
any of our great names? Someone
will be putting Washington to rout
next. Then will come right on down
the line, smashing ikons, compelling
us to go to school all over again. No
sooner would we bow to those unnam-
ed Buddhist explorers than another
learned man would find that some wild
cult up in Tibet antedated them as
explorers and did the personally con-
Quoted act from New Orleans to Mem
phis 5000 years before the coming of
the railroads. They would probably
find convincing evidence in some of
the rolling stock still in use here
abouts, too!
Fie upon these wise men! We saw
Columbus first and, whether or not he
was the first man to see us, we must
stand by him. Our beautiful and low
ed city was named in his honor and
we cannot forsake him at this late
date.

Apropos to the meeting of the
Legislatures of Mississippi and other
states, It is well to call attention TO
the activities of the anti-vivisection-
lists, and to point out the fallacy in
their arguments. Were it not for the
fact that an understanding public
is likely to be mis-led by their activ-
ity, the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. could best
be treated with indifference. But the
susceptibility of lthe public to an err
roneous impression, with q conse-
auent detriment to the advance of
medical science and surgery. make it
imperative that their fallacious con-
tentions be denied and their ill-dir-
ected activity discredited.
In an attempt to do this, Earnest
Harold Baynes, whom John Burroughs
characterized as a "sane and accurate
naturalist" has contributed val
liable article to recent issue OF The
Woman's Home Companion. Mr..
Baynes has been a lifelong lover of
annals, and in any sensible crusade
in their behalf he would be the first
to enlist. But in this case he speaks
out vigorously against the hue and
cry about the cruelty of vivi-section,
and rightly iustifes the practice in
the interest Of humanity. His article
is a careful refutation Of the claims
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and reveals
not only their falsity but their unfair
ness as well.
For example, he cites the fact that
certain of the leading so-called Eau
thorities" who oppose vivisection are
no authorities at all, and that many
of them, whose testimony the Anti
vivisection Society sets great store
by, lived in a period antedating our
own by several OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES hav-
ing been born as long as one hundred
and sixty years ago! Yet a. perusal
of their publications gives the i'm
preston that these eminent "authori-
ties" are all of the present, and en-
tirely conversant with the methods
and purposes Of modern experiment
tation with animals. Many Of them
lived before the discovery of anesthe-
tics.
1t may not be denied that in some
cases where animals are experimental
upon. suffering is inficted,-but it is
in comparison with the
human suffering which is thereby
relieved. Anesthesia is used in all

CRowDING COLUMBUS

Columbus was an ambitious fellow
and had pluck, but as for the discov-
cry of America, Buddhist priests
visited our Pacific shores fully 1000
years before he made his well-adver-
tised trip. This is the substance of
report which has just been made by
DR.. William Henry Holmes, former
president of the American Archaeolo-
gical Institute, based on years of
study of relics in Mexico and along
the Pacific coast on this continent.
This, Of course, is not the first time
that the laurels of Columbus have
been endangered. Lief Ericsson is be-
lieved by many scholars to have visit
ed this continent from the Atlantic
about 1000 A. d., and strong claims
have been put up for a number of
others Of that period.
But Dr. Holmes, because Of his
reputation in this line of investigation
and because of the fact he supplies
on the issue itself, has certainly given
the ghost Of Columbus the jolt Of its
career.
He shows that in the period from
the time of Christ to 500 A. ID. Bud
dhist missionaries were extremely
active, pushing into the Pacific and
sweeping all before them by their
zeal. They had ships which were
capable of making the journey to our
shores and were driven by fanaticism
which, he thinks, would have been
strong enough to cause them to brave
almost any venture on land or sea.
Indeed, the, records already authenti-
Gated show that i'm their crusading
period the Buddhist even exceeded
the Christians in the abandon with
which they threw themselves into the
propagation Of their faith.
So much for the fervor and the
equipment necessary for such an I'M
dertaking. But what Of the evidence
supporting the contention that they
actually succeeded?
On this point DR.. Holmes shows
that from Panama along the Pacific
coast to Sonora a number Of ancient
sculptures have been found, all alb
solutely distinct from the work of the
Mayans and Aztecs and differing from
the products Of any other part Of the
world except Buddhist Asia, where
Buddhist images almost identical with
them are abundant.
He draws in brilliant colors the
contrast between the Aztec, Toltec
and Magyar products and those Of the
Adventures who are supposed to have
come among them. The virile, start
ling. fint-faced characteristics Of the
native sculpture emphasize the intro
spective, round-faced, placid objects
Of worship which the Buddhist ac-
.cording to his theory. either brought
with them or taught the Indian artists
to produce. He accounts for the fact
that men who worshipped placid faces
might not be expected 70 brave the

| cases except those in which its ~use
would nullify the experiment, and
medical men, as a rule, show the
greatest tenderness and consideration
for the animals under their care. 1t
is a gross injustice to the members of
the medical profession. in whose veins
'the milk Of human kindness" flows
freely, to impute to them the inhuin-
aness and cruelty the antiyivisection+
lists charge. No scientist takes de-
light in causing an animal pain. even
the slightest degree of pain, but a
consideration of human welfare and
human happiness may lead even the
most tender-hearted to consent to do
so.
The Mayo Brothers in Rochester
are said to maintain dog farm where
dogs are raised for the purposes of
experimentation in their laboratories.
AS a single result Of such experiment
tation, the Mavoi have been enabled
to perform an operation on the
human being which successfully COM
bats a disease which heretofore has
cost many thousands of lives. Already
more than 100000 lives have been
saved by this one operation alone,
and many other thousands vet unborn
will benefit by it. Who. then, would
denv the Mayos the right to expert
ment upon dogs as means of saving
men?
If vivi-section did not yield larPe
return in human happiness and we'll
being, it would not be tolerated. But
when bv means of it. scientists have
been led to such great discoveries as
the anti-toxin cure for diphtheria and
the vaccine treatment for typhoid. ID
would seem that it has unduestion-
ABLY been justified. Yet a group of
sentimentalists would have it out
lawed by legislative enactment, and
would hamper medical men in the
furtherance of their humanitarian
science.
1t is certain that group Of people
hostile to the medical profession is
back Of the movement ito suppress
vivi-section. MANY Of them actually
preach the doctrine Of the non-exis-
tence of disease and DENY the pos
sibility of human pain. Their activity
in behalf of the animals seems, there
fore, paradoxical. 1t is a curious
philosophy which denies the existence
of human pain while expressing sol
icitude for pain inflicted upon ami
mols.
But whatever their motives, their
propaganda should not gain currency,
nor their cult followers. The freedom
of scientists and medical men to ex-
pertinent upon animals should in no
way be restricted 1t is a choice be-
tween maudlin sentimentality and
humanitarian science. 1t is case of
guinea pig VS.. man s--and those who
believe in the fundalaff Christian
principle of the sacreaness of human
life will rot hesitate in their choice.
