responsible for such miserable treat
ment. And again, there Is also the bad
example to Young people in the family
the abandonment Of dumb brutes. It

or in brotherly love. 1t leads child
to believe that it is unnecessary to be
kind and thoughtful about speechless
living beings. The first rudiments a
child should learn are sympathy and
love for the lower animals.
And say here again, as my annual
contribution, a prayer that something
be done to alleviate distress and desti-

humble Judgment there is something
radically wrong with any one who de-

Nv SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

LIVERY year, about this time, a
r., number of letters come to me con-
corning stray cats and dogs. 1t APP
pears that there are people who SEEM
ingly have no sympathy for suffering
animals. One of the correspondents
presents the following:
Il have been living in this house for
thirteen years, and / cant remember
seeing any ambulance pick up the stray
animals about our section. In the lot
next door there are three dead cats
now. / am confident they died from
hunger. Ue
'I am not writing this letter to find
fault, but just because am lover Of
animals and feel that something should
be done to stop these outrages, especial
ly during the hot weather when there
can be so much misery"
1t would seem to me that system Of
visiting crowded sections should be in
augurated by those intrusted with this
form of work. For instance, if regu-
lar route were taken every day, the peo-

see the wagon and would be on the look
out for any stray cats or dogs that could
be picked up and cared for properly.
Furthermore, / would like to see
some sort of punishment nneted out to
people who own pets and then desert
them when they are leaving the city
for the summer, There is no more
cruel thiLs than this, and certainly the
least that can be said about it is that
it is sign of rank ingratitude to have
a cat or dog take care of your mice
or otherwise entertain your children
and then to return such good service by
utter neglect and carelessness as to what
happens to them after you have left.
There should be law that when

how we can get my nice little boats
away from the Pirates? he asked every
one.
II tell you what we might do!' Red
Higgins said. 1--WE can watch and
whenever the Pirates send anyone to
the grocery to get food, we can cap
ture him and tie him to a tree, then
when we capture every last one of the
Pirates, we can sail away in the boat !!
OF course, we would unite them first,
for it would not be right to sail away
and leave them tied to trees, even if
they are Pirates"
This seemed a good plan, and, as our
friends knew the Pirates did not have
any food aboard the little boat, they
crept up to where they could peep
through the bushes. .

It was regarded as the revelation
of an ultimate tendency by McAdOo
to counter the religious issue by
bringing forward the industrial
issue.
The gentlemen who signed the
Endorsement of McAdoo and who

were all of them representatives of
railroad industrial organizations,
which commonly have been thought
to be committed to the independent
Presidential candidacy of Robert

The Significance of the event
came centrally from Mr.. Wharton,
whose authority and standing among
railroad employees all over the coun.
try is a matter not commonly known
TO the public in general, but deeply
realized by labor circles and by
political national groups in both
political parties.
Mr.. Wharton today, on behalf
OF himself and his colleagues, said:

he can take q clearer and stronger
stand.

elements precisely because he has

with Organized labor in certain OF
its ideas ana demands. This is q point
which commentators on fhiA conven.

which strongly exists.
McAdoo has had much Ku Klux
