Protests Too Short
Check Reins for Horses

To the Editor of The Star:
The writer would like to call thS
attention of owners of dump wagons
to the unnecessary suffering caussdr
their horses by overlooking. -
Overlooking is the most seneelesa
Of all forms of cruelty-it gets nos
body anywhere and wears out the
horse for nothing. A driver will in~
vent all kinds of excuses to justify
his thoughtles in compelling his
horse to work in pain. The excuses !
have heard for overlooking would
make a repertoire for Mr.. Gallagher.
and Mr.. Shean. The truth is there is
no excuse on earth for this cruelty.
Last Thursday morning the writer
saw an iron-gray horse, attached to
a dump wagon filled with sand and
gravel, so overchecked that he was
in agony. To one who could unders
stand his silent language the horse
fairly shrieked with pain, but the col
ored driver sat comfortably in his
seat and never heard a word. :
I trust the owners of all dump wag-
ons will issue orders that the cruel
practice shall be abandoned, and inc
sist that all checkreins be removed
or heightened until there is not tha
least pull" on the bits. -
MRS. CARRIE X. HUNTINGTON, ).

Bryan Lost Outs So Did Mohler.
DR.. Mohler is a Pennsylvanian. He
was probably born on a farm, but /
didn't ask him because I had already
garnered many yes and no answers.
He studied veterinary science and it's
affiliated lines in the University of
Pennsylvania without knowing pre-
cisely why. He must have made good
in rather a stupendous way, because
the University of Montana offered
him a salary Of $500 a year-this
was in 1896, when a salary OF that
sort ranked it's possessor along with
crowned heads-to teach veterinary
sciences to the Montanians. Mohler
was hardly out of the student ranks
then, mind you.
He wanted to know whether he
could make good in this distant uni
versity and so he took the civil serv-
ice examination. With his mind
somewhat more at ease with regard
to the western job he suddenly dis

Of His lofty mission. There He re-
f1ected and prayed, there He was en-
powered to go back to rebellious
the eternal message it so sorely need
ed. These periods of silence were
fraught with tremendous issu es.
What He saw and what He thought
has never been chronicled, but the
world has come to bend it's knee in
silences spake as never man spake.
Our Pace Is Swift.
Our age is an intense one. Our very

means to accelerate action. Speeding
up in everything. we cannot pause
for reflection. We have no Olivets
in our twentieth century life. The
people on our thronging streets look
tired and worn with the speed at
which they are compelled to travel
''The race Is to the swift" even as
the battle is to the strong"
Is it any wonder that we produce
so little in art and literature that is
worth having. SO little that stands
the test of time Carlyle wrought
in lonely Ecclefechan; Emerson was
the solitary sage of Concord. Ten
nyson through long years of de-
tachment produced I'm Memoriam,'
and a great sorrow drove Browning
to wrestle alone with the mighty
problems of Immortality. What hours
do we set apart for serious ref1ec-
tion? What fitness do we disclose
for life here, what large assurance
have we of life hereafter. Our vision
our finer sentiment atrophied, because
we will not discover the value of
some Olivet where reflection and
meditation are developed and en-
riched.
The trees their darksome shadows cast;
And slowly up the mount1inside
With weary step the Savior passed.
No Joyous multitude was there,
No garments at His feet were thrown;
The path that led to Bethany
He trod in sorrow and alone.
Thus DER the brow Of olivet
The Saviour passed with weary tread;
The beasts have lairs, the birds have nests,
He had not where to lay His head!
Yes. to Olivet He came, and there

Him for the struggle on Calvary.

Reflection and Poise.
y T. JOHN, 81, Jesus wenx unto
the Mount of Olives"

Or. JOHN, 81, Jesus wens unto
the Mount of Olives"
Balzac said: Genius is inten-
sity." Doubtless this is true for
genius burns with passion for ex-
preston. but behind the moving pas
sion there must be the long period
of deep reflection. In lonely exile
men have pondered the deep mys-
teries of life and when at length
they have spoken their message has
been like a clarion call to action.
Physical inaction conduces to deep
reflection. The market place or the
rostrum are the places Of expression,
the theater Of action: the quiet room,
the silent woods, the lonely spot upon
some mountain side where strong
winds clarity the brain as we'll as
the atmosphere, these are the places
OF solitude where man communes
with God and his own soul
John Knox and Phillips Brooks.
Il want to see the room in which
John Knox wrought out his mighty
messages" said a curious visitor at
his home in Edinburgh. Presently the
attendant opened the door into what
seemed like a closet with narrow
Sits of windows.
This, isr, is John Knox's study.
You will recall that he said, All l
ask for is a place large enough for
my Bible and myself"
Here in this narrow space his great
soul was clothed with power and his
tongue touched with such inspira-
ton that from his meditation he went
forth to shake the very foundations
of the throne itself. Phillips Brooks
sought his secluded cabin on the
great ship at sea and there alone his
companion found him on his knees
with face uplifted and the very light
of heaven itself in his eyes as with
passionate yearning he prayed. &C
God. give me power: o God, give me
power" Said his friend: IT closed
the door of the cabin for had opened
it only to discover the secret of his
great genius"
There is no greatness apart from
periods spent in solitude. The habit
of detachment. the cultivation of alb
long and concentrated thought, these
are the essentials of power and eff.
cient living. 1t is significant how
often in His very brief life Jesus
passed into the silences. He begar

The coalition to overthrow Poincare
is extremely heterogeneous. The
parties comprising it agree In con-
demning Poincare, but the grounds
of condemnation are various and con-
ficting.
The largest of those parties is that
of the Radical Socialists, headed by
Herriot. The complexion of that
party resembles that of the more
moderate section of the British La
Dor party. On sundry issues of first
sympathy with the unified Socialists,
who come next in strength and whose
platform is, to say the least, extreme
ly radical, and. of course, they are
even less in sympathy with the Com
munists. Brands party (the So
called National Radicals) is not rad
ical at all; it united with the Left
parties to overthrow Poincare, but is
unlikely to remain in a Left coalition.
No doubt NJ Miller1nd will invite
NJ Herriot, as head Of the party with
tho most numerous representation in
the new chamber, to form a cabinet,
and it Is probable that Herriot could
form for the nonce a coalition of
Radical Socialists, Independent So
cialists, Unified Socialists and Com
munists, commanding 302 votes in a
chamber totaling 584. But, apparent
ly, for the nonce only. There is a
general opinion that, under pressure
from his party, Herriot win assume

worry about market saturation the

the decrease is not a frightening one
