Research for Health
Deserves High Praise
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is indeed to be expected that
the i-Vivisectionists should object
to the projected film, Humanity
First" which honors the work of
Pasteur. 1t is almost incredible that
intelligent people exist who object
to humanity being first" Rather
than vivisect an animal which. with
its elementary nerve centers would
not suffer torture as would a human
being, and thereby discover some
more effective way to treat ailing
humanity, the Anti-V. would spare
the animal its pain and let the all
ing humans die.
When an Anti-V. falls critically
Id he is often rushed to a hospital
and administered effective treatment
learned through vivisection. If his
brother Anti-V.'s had had their way.
however, he might have died.
The Anti-V. Society talks as II re-
search workers cut into living ami
mails to satisfy some horrible lust.
Anaesthetics are frequently used in
operations upon animals, but some
experiments demand consciousness of
the subject.
Anti-V.'s are soldem consistent
with their declarations. 1t is hard
to see how they can eat meat when
they consider its source. An Anti-V
should let a dog bite his leg and
infect him rather than injure the
dear animal. He should, figuratively.
bear his breast to the charging lion.
am convinced that many Anti
Vivisectionists are simply abnormally
sensitive, victims Of visions of help
less life suffering needlessly under
the csuel blade of some human fiend
I pity them. They are making their
lives miserable. As well spend ones
energies In a society for the pre-
yention OF fly swatting. I do believe
tne purpose of the -vivisection-
ist Society to be not one whit more
intelligent.

The G. O. P. Craftsmanship.

The first meeting of the Republican
National Committee since the close OF
the 1882 campaign is to be held IN
Chicago next Tuesday. While the
meeting has been called for the cleo
ton of a new chairman to succeed
Everett Sanders, who has submitted
his resignation, it will afford an op-
portunity for the leaders of the G. O.
P. from all sections of the country to
confer and to map course for the
future. The members of the commit
tee are looking forward to the con-
gressional elections next November,
realizing that public opinion on the
Roosevelt new deal will be tested at
the polls. Although the National
Committee is not charged with the
duty of carrying on. the congressional
campaign, it has been the practice in
the past for the national organization
to give as much assistance as possible
to the Republican candidates. Fur
thermore, the congressional elections
will furnish some indication of what
may be expected in 1886.
The indecision of the Republican
leaders regarding the selection of a
new chairman-no one has yet been
settled upon for the job, according to
the latest reports-is symbolic of the
uncertainty in which the G. o. P.
seems to have been engulfed for more
than a year. For months there was a
clamor for the reorganization of the
committee, though this clamor came
not from the members of the National
Committee but from outsiders, par
ticularly those who had been un-
friendly to former President Hoover.

Humanity's Debt to
the Vivisectionists
To the Editor of The star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Please permit me to express my
veiws regarding the article on anti
vivisection which appeared on the
editorial page Of The Star on May 90.
I have not had the pleasure Of
seeing the film, Humanity First"
which has caused severe criticism by
our humanitarians, or should say
animal -tarians; but the attack on
Pasteur and the use Of experimental
animals in general by the District
chairman of the Vivisection Investi-
CATION League seems wholly an in
humane act within itself.
am, I believe, as ardently opposed
to cruelty to animals as any OF our
anti-vivisectionists However, l am
also interested in relief Of human
suffering, and in some instances this
can be accomplished only by animal
experimentation. OF course any vivi-
sectionist would rather succumb to
rabies or diphtheria than submit TO
treatment. inasmuch as the protec-
tive agency is produced from expert
mental animals. However. some re-
gard should be accorded to those OF
us who do value our lives above those
of animals. 1t has been estimated
that fifty Thousand people have been
treated for rabies within ten years,
with an average mortality OF one per
cent. Before Pasteur began his ex-
periments with animals the mortality
was 100 per cent Animals which
sacrifice their lives to experimental
medicine do so in as noble cause as
any patriot who gives his life for our
country's freedom-nay, even more,
for what Is liberty without health?
After all, most of our great medical
discoveries are made on animals, or
at least perfected on them. There
are only three courses to take in the
liberation of mankind from disease
and suffering: First, animal expert
mentation; second, human expert
mentation, and third, cessation OF
medical progress. What, may 1 ask,
does the ti-vivisectionist advise?
A scientist has found a vaccine for
a deadly malady, but Is not sure OF
its safety. Should he inject 1t into
your child, into guinea pig, or throw
it away and let the malady rage?
These are some points well worth
the anti-vivisectionist's careful con-
sideration. I think that careful in
vestigation would reveal that animals
are tortured no more in the labora-
tory than when put to death by the
crude means of some our our Animal
Rescue Leagues and like organizations.
Our critic alluded to the statement
that the germ theory Of diseases has
not been proven. 1 dare say that
even those who deny this fact would
shrink with deathly fear from a
harmless looking little test tube con-
tanning the germs of typhoid, tetanus
or any other infectious disease. A
germ theory of diseases no longer
exists, it was proven decades ago.
1t seems that our critic, to use an
age-old expression, is shifting the
hand that feeds her.

The War Debts.

Within a few hours, prospectively,
the controversial question of the war
debts will clamor for attention in
Washington along with the other
burning matters demanding considera-
ton in the fading hours of the ex-
piring session of Congress.
A war debts message from President
Roosevelt is imminent. Before leaving
the White House earlier in the week
the President indicated that the mes
sage would not call for legislative ac-
ton, and it will therefore, presum-
ably, partake largely, If not exclusive
ly, of the character of a report. II
thus restricted, the message will
simply narrate that, with the excep-
ton of Finland, all of our European
debtors are in arrears, if not in tech
nical default, and that none of them
J in that category has so far given any
indication of readiness to clean the
slate by squaring accounts on the ap-
preaching installment date, June Is.
Altogether there is payable at that
time a round total of $175,000, 900, the
lions share being due from Great
Britain.
British action, it is thought, may be-
come the model for the conduct OF
other debtors. Britain, during the past
year, has rendered token" payments
on account, which were accepted here
as evidence of good faith and as pre-
serving the London government from
the stigma of default. A note from
Great Britain is supposed to be ready
for immediate presentation, but with
held from actual delivery pending dis
closure to Congress of President Roose-
velt's views. opinion in London, both
inside and outside of Parliament, is
strongly opposed to any further debt
payments to the United States, in the
form of tokens or otherwise, pending a
general conference on the debts, with
a view to revision of the existing set
tlement structure. The British are re-
puted to be so determined on this
score that they are willing to incur
the ignominy Of being branded as de-
faulters rather than to continue pay
ments on a basis they hold to be both
inequitable and beyond their financial
! capacity.
President Roosevelt has rightly let
it be known that he will not consider
any general conference on the debts.
They were individually contracted and
he insists that they be individually
discussed He points out that it is the
right of any debtor to hold such dis
cussion with a creditor, and thus ex-
tends an invitation to all the Euro
pean nations concerned to enter into
such conversations at Washington
but one by one and not in mass for
nation.
1t would be an international blessing
IT the debt question could be con-
fronted and settled without further
delay. Congress has the last word, as
far as revision is concerned. 1t re-
fleets the country's view in setting its
face sternly against cancellation, but
it will likewise undoubtedly voice pub
lie opinion in approaching the whole
issue without rancor and with deter
mination to consider and settle it on
the broad-gauge basis of what is best
in the long run for the interests OF
| the United States.

With pathos asserts
"I have an Idea
And, Oh, How 1t Hurts"

Martyrs bold to awake,
In prison to mourn,
Or be burned at the stake.
Each cries mo big thought
This old protest averts;
Z have an Idea,

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES e. TRACEWELL.

The careful man does not throw
cigarette butts onto a nicely polished
wooden floor and then grind them out
with his heels.
Nor does he throw down matches
with Indifference as to where they
land.
When the careful man is driving a
truck along the same route every day
he does not run blindly into the same
rut every morning, with a resulting
jar to his employers vehicle.
The careful man is careful, that is
all, and he gets a great satisfaction
out of it, If his nature is that way.
There ought to be more of him,
then there would be less wear and
tear in the world, much better
looking world, all around.
Everywhere you go you can see the
results Of careleSSneSs, plain indiffer-
ence to the rights of others, and a
lack of regard for articles that cost
other people good money.
The ultimate of carelessness, of
course, comes in regard to ones own
things.
The historical example is the
spendthrift woman who takes no care
whatsoever of the costly gifts pre-
sented to her. Zola's famous Mana,
with her extravaganza and indiffer-
ence, remains the classic example in
literature.
We do not have to go to books,
however, to see perfectly good ex-
amples of the same thing.
1t is impossible to walk along the
street, any street, without running
Squarely into some ones lack Of care.
One Is confronted with it at every
corner, in the form of some sort of
litter which might just as easily have
been placed in the trash boxes placed
by thoughtful municipality fer Just
that purpose.
4 X X
The careless attitude is due to a
number Of things, the chief of which
is lack of regard for others.
If the man who drives his truck
with great bump and rattle over the
same depression every morning, day
after day, had bought that vehicle
out of his own pocketbook, there can
be little doubt that he would slow
down when he got to that place.
If the fellow who insists on grind
ing out his lighted cigarette stubs on
a nice hardwood floor had to pay to
have the floor laid, and polished. he
would think twice, and maybe three
times, before doing it.
But on all sides there seems to. be
a premium placed upon carelessness
by a great many people. 1t is too
much trouble, they say, to be think
ing about such matters all the time.
If another person is careful, he
often is the butt Of laughter and
jokes. Especially is the individual
who is afraid of fires joshed for his
efforts toward prevention.
No doubt many of the great forest
fires result from just such an attitude
Of indifference, coupled with the be-
lief that somehow it is rather un-
manly to show too great a respect for
the rights of others, especially to the
point Of being rather overcareful, In
anything.
In the matter Of fire prevention,
care cannot be carried to too great
lengths. Many comic" is drawn of
the careful man who insists on using
fire extinguisher on his fireplace
when he retires for the night, but the
lack Of just such use has resulted in
spark leaping cut on rug.
There are other ways in which the
careful person can secure safety.
In the case of the fireplace,

WILL PILOT
ALL-STARS

NEW YORK, June 22.-When
the annual all-star baseball game
between the two major leagues is
played here July 10 it will be the
1888 world series all over again, as
far as the pilots are concerned.
Bill Terry, manager Of the New
York Giants. and Joe Cronin. men
tor of the Washington Senators
were named last night as man
ayers of the opposing teams for
the interleague classic.
Both are comparatively new at
the managing business.
Mack, McGraw Last Year
Last year Abe got the call when
Connie Mack led the American
League team and the late John
McGraw piloted the National
League nine.
Terry's appointment was an
nounced here by John A. Heydler
president of the National League,
Cronin's was made in Chicago
by William Harridge, the Ameri-
can League prexy.
Inaugurate Policy
It was indicated that the pol.
icy Of choosing pennant-winning
managers as pilots Of all-star
teams would be continued in the
future, for, in announcing Terry's
appointment, Heydler said:
1--WE feel that we not only
have made q fine personal ap-
pointment, but that such an
appointment is an honor which
is due q man who has led his
team to q pennant victory. BY
agreeing in the appointment Of
the two world series managers,
the presidents of the two
leagues feel they have estab-
liShed a precedent which can
and perhaps will be carried out
in other all-star games through
the years."
