Replies to Challenge
of Rev. Father TondOrf

To the Editor Of The Star:
l would like to make a reply to the
challenge of the Rev. Father Tondorf
in the article on vivisection, which
was printed in The Evening Star a
few days ago.
1 take 1t that the Rev. Father Ton
dorf is familiar with the teachings of
Jesus Christ, as his prefix would i'm
ply, and challenge him to point out
one place in His teachings when He
gives the strong the right to take ad-
vantage Of the weak. True, He gives
us power and dominion over the birds
of the air and the beasts of the field,
but with this power we are also given
great responsibilities. He gives US
the power and glory, and how do we
use it? We eat, we drink and we are
merry, all to an excess, and when our
bodies rebel at these excuses we tor
ture and cut up animals to try to find
out what Is wrong.
We are, indeed, a strange people.
MARY e. CLARK.

only serious charge against them ls
that the lights they uphold are poor
and feeble. This Is no fault OF the
posts. Many persons hold that though
the posts are important, because they
must be seen by day as we'll as night
and should be artistic in design, the
light is the main thing. A controversy
which the average layman, on whose
opinion of art no very high value Is
placed, would do we'll not to mix. 1t is
controversy in which only the
artists and the lamp-post specialists
should have speaking parts. 1t will
be recalled that a good deal Of pub
licity has been given to a new model
of lamp-post, the design for which was
under consideration by the Commits
sion of Fine Arts a few days ago.
Reports indicated that the commission
thought we'll of the new lamp-post.
and it was said that a favorable re-
port on it was expected. The COM
mission may make report next
Commissioner Johnston voices vigorous
objection, and says that the present
modern lamp-posts are highly satisfac-

other cities have set them up and call
them 1.-The Washington lamp-post,"
that they represent ideas and work

and that if the District authorities in

globe on top they cannot do better
than to retain the present style of
post. Whatever may be the outcome
of the controversy Washington Is as
sured of having handsome lamp-posts.
and perhaps at some time will get
everywhere effective street lights.

Rubber Has a Snap Back.

One of the characteristics Of rubber
is that when stretched too far it will
break and snap back, with chances
that the stretcher will be stung. Brit
ish rubber interests, which had
planned so to stretch their control of
that necessity that it would pay off
the British debt to the United States,
are beginning to worry already over
the possibilities Of the snap back and
its unpleasant consequences. They
are coming to a realization that the
so.called Stevenson scheme for an ex.

purchasers may have the effect of kill.

Treatment for Foster.

Organized labor refuses to regard
William z. Foster, central figure in
the Michigan communist trial, either
as a hero or a menace. In a state
ment given out by Matthew VOL, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, it is asserted that Fosters
influence in the American trade move
ment is nil, that that. which he at
tempts to teach is old, tried and re-
jected" Mr.. VOL thinks the Michi-
gan trial, in which the jury disagreed,
had the best possible outcome. He
argues that to retry Foster would be
to make something out Of nothing.
Were he to be acquitted he and his as.
sociates would set up the cry that
their prosecution had been persecu-
ton, and were he to be convicted
Foster would be heralded the world
over as a martyr" to the cause of
freedom Of conscience and speech. In
having disagreed, Mr.. Woll observes
sagely, the jury has left Foster no.
where.
The federation vice president is un-
able to subscribe to the belief that
Foster is a dangerous radical. "Any
one who knows Foster" he says.
knows that he is simply an oppor-
tunist riding on the crest Of any move
ment that holds out for the time being
an opportunity for private gain and
public notoriety." And he would base
| future treatment of Foster upon this
analysis of the mans character. To
ignore Foster now, he contends, is to
destroy the great monster that has
been made up of mere tissue of CAPT.
talized propaganda. To disregard him
is to inflict the greatest punishment
that can be given him.

Lamp-Posts.

the seriousness with which artists and
certain Of the municipal authorities
go at this lamp-post matter. To most
persons lamp-post is only a lamp.
post, the main mission of which Is to
sustain a light that will do something
toward driving gloom and shadow
from the street at night. To many
other persons a lamp-post must not
only perform this function. but must
also be a work Of art. When the pres
emit model lamp-posts were set up we
were given many accounts Of their
grace and symmetry, and most per.
sons believe that they made good the

Is It Your Kidneys?

orders. That is where the danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or

dy for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents OF
this vicinity are constantly testifying.

effective July /. He will be succeed
ed by L. c. Sprague of Denver. Mr..
Falvey left for Denver on business
trip and will probably take months
rest before considering future plans
Mr.. Falvey's resignation will cause
much regret among friends in Fruita,
as we'll as the Unitah railway men,
with whom he has been so pleasantly
associated for the past IS years.
Mr.. Falvey bears the reputation
among his railroad associates of be-
ing one of the most competent and
practical railroad men on the Western
Slope, and as thoroly familiar with all
the details of operation. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Falvey have made many
friends during their long residence in
Fruita, and the people generally re-
gret the possibility of losing such a
worthy family.
