AN INEVITABLE RESULT

There seem to be the "makin's' OF
pretty little fuss in the ranks of the
people who have been actively backing
the Anti-Saloon League In fact the
trouble seems to have progressed so far
that a most searching inquiry into the
management OF that organization may
result.
William II. Anderson, the active agent
in charge of the Anti-Saloon work in
the state OF New York, has been charged
with the misuse OF about $4,000 of the
money oil the League. Anderson does
not deny that he had the money and
that he used it, but says it was spent for
publicity purposes" At the same time
he declines to give any particulars as
to the spending OF the money. The Dis
trict Attorney of New York has an
nounced that he will seek the indictment
|of Anderson on charge OF grand lar
ceny.
Last Sunday Anderson uttered from
the pulpit of church in Albany, a
violent attack upon Raymond B. Eos
dick, who will be remembered for his
activities in connection with social hy-
giene during the war Anderson ac-
cuscd Fosdick of having betrayed con-
fidential information and Of misleading
the Rockefellers who have been sup
portcrs OF and contributors to the League
for many years Mr.. Fosdick has made
no reply and it does not appear that
he will find it necessary to make one

| for him.

a sensible sort of man. declares tina
if there was any betrayal of Anderson
by Fosdick he was as much a party
to the conspiracy as Fosdick could haV'
been, because he knew all the time wha
Fosdick was doing and that Fosdicl
still retains his complete confidence
| This is equivalent to the declaration tina
Anderson has not the confidence Of MI
Rockefeller when it comes to contro
vcrsy with Mr.. Fosdick. All that An
derson seems to have gained by hi
talk Of Sunday is to array against hir
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-03-01

the powerful Rockefeller influence
which has done so much for the Anti
Saloon League in the past.
Anderson, who has been prominent
in prohibition work in the state of New
York for the last few years, is loud i'll
his assertions that there is a conspiracy
against him, that he is being framed
and i'll other accusations of that sort
Possibly. these things may have some
truth in them, but if they have, the con-
dition is nothing but what Anderson
should have expected. He has, from the
first, been loud and abusive talker who
seems to have made a speciality of bully
ing and insulting people. 1t seems
strange that any organization which de-
ponds upon popular good will and ap-
proval. as does the Anti-Saloon League,
should continue to employ such man.
No matter what his transient efficiency
may have been, he was certain, in the
end, to create strong opposition. An
dcrSon has made 4 speciality OF bullying
members of the New York legislature
by threatening them with political ruin
unless they took their orders from him
or from the Anti-Saloon League. A man
may get away with little of that sort
of thing for a time, or with a little of
it for longer time, but, sooner or later,
he will come down with a crash. Bullies
never make good finish.
As for the money spent by Anderson
and for which he refuses to account
beyond saying that it went for pub
licity," there should be no trouble in
explaining its expenditure unless it was
used for some purpose not within the
limits of the law. The refusal of An
derson to give details warrants the Dis
trict Attorney in proceeding against him
in order to ascertain what was actually
done with the $4,000.
There may or may not be a conspir-
acy against Anderson. That is some
thing concerning which the public has
no knowledge. 1t is certain however
that Anderson has, by his habit of in
sulting everybody who has not accepted |
his dictation. heavily handicapped him
self in public opinion, and lost much |
and support that might 9TH
erwise lave come to him.

THE END OF THE WILD

The other day liner docked in New
York which was a floating jungle. 1t
was filled from deck to hold with a
great variety OF tropical animals and
birds. This boats cargo, which came
from Antwerp and Hamburg geological
gardens was one of the most unusual
ever unloaded at an American wharf.
1t represented small fortune also in
the price tags on the various crates and
cages because wild animals in the marts
of commerce come far higher than do
INVESTIGATED animals at the stockyards.

thirty or forty dollars but if you pur-
chase 4 sacred cow or a water buffalo

times as much, including transportation
charges.
The liner which locked the other day
had among other things, a herd OF fif-
teen zcbras and hundreds OF monkeys.
There also were 1900 canaries, most
of them trying to sing 4 different song
at the same time, creating a medley that
while inharmonious was not unattrac-
tive. There were a couple of kauga-oos
and a few laughing hycnas in the largo
and a wide variety of plumagc birds,
cockatoos and other geological speci-
mems.
Most of these animals, while still
wild to all intcnts and purposes, never
saw the jungles. They were bred in
captivity. Most of the geological speci-
mems received in this country are reared
in Germany where several concerns
have reduced the growing of wild ami
mails for menagerieS. to a business basis
1t has been found by experimentation
that certain wild animals can be reared
in captivity and that certain other wild
animals can not The gorilla, for in
stance, can not be reared in captivity.
There are a few in various ZOOS but
the average specimen lives only few
years. There are many birds that can
not be held captive.
The American Eagle, emblem of free
dom, lives true to the lofty ideal. There
are no American Eagles in captivity be-
cause they refuse food and die on hun
ger strike when Gagged. Thousands OF
them have been Gagged but not one has
lived to propagate its breed.
Many of the jungle animals perish in
similar manner. Some die of broken
heart pining for the freedom that for
countless generations. was unbrokcn. For
that reason Our geological gardens arc
of questionable value from an cduca-
tional standpoint, costly to maintain and
distasteful to the finer sensibilitics of
animal lovers.
Nothing appeals more to the pity OF
any thoughtful person than the cease
less, tread, tread, tread of Gagged wild
beast up and down a narrow cage, day
in and day out until death opens the
door. There is no sight sadder among
than the broken. detected air
of some mighty beast OF the forest con-
fined to only a few feet of space, cooped
in by heavy steel bars, subjected to
severe heat or unusual cold, unable to
keep himself fit and clean, proddcd and
stared at by gaping crowds until death
relieves him.
One reason why the average zoo is
OF questionable value educationally, is
that it is limited in extent to those ami
mails which can be bred in captivity and
usually to very inferior specimens. There
are thousands and thousands OF beasts
that are being exterminated which never
have been heard of by the average zoo
visitor, much less seen on exhibition,
for the simple reason that these animals
prefer death to Imprisonment and prompt
~ die when Gagged.
The end OF the wild is not far off. The
farmer and home builder have pcne-
trated into the wild places all over s1c
earth. Here and there are still patches
OF jungles or forests where a few hunt
ed, frightened and starved wild beasts
still Turk. But there arc far more spcci-
mens in the various geological gardens
and parks of the world than in the wild
places.
