Fighters and Horses

When Mrs. Roosevelt, Q lead
ing supporter of the charity
balls held for the torture Of in
nocent monkeys, and of socalled
medical research" in general,
retains her place as honorary
president of the Animal Rescue
League, certainly protests ought
to be heard.
It also amazes me that Mrs.
Mclean who was not ashamed
to be present at a recent prize
fight, blames people because
they are thrilled by viewing &C
cidents connected with auto
races.
The injuries deliberately Civ
en- in prize fights are even worse
than accidental injuries. AS the
prize fighters are willing to
fight, even such fights though
uncivilized, are not as degrading
as horse races connected with
great cruelty to defenSeless
horses. Mrs. Mclean has de-
Tended horse races, though they
are worse than auto races; but
the vivisection which she also
defends represents the height of
cruelty.
AS a so-called patriot, she also
writes in unwomanly defense of
war. She has also suggested re-
