The American Human . association, which "has been In aeaalon In New Orleans this week, has tor Its object to Introduce the Golden Rule Into all the walks of ' Ufa, ' The first halt of the meeting was devoted to the protection of children, and the " other half to the protection of animals. It ia on of a half dosen great national organisations whioff are worklnm. to the end that children and animals may be made exempt from the un pitying rav ages of cruelty. The meeting has been -attended by thousands of devoted men and women from all parte of the coun try and from all walks of life. President-elect Taft la one of th yioe-presi-dents of the organization. The association was organised In 1877, and haa been one of the leading forces in the anti-cruelty crusade. For some years Interest tn It seema to have lagged, but the present, president has given it a particularly wide-awake ad ministration, and its work promises to be prosecuted with new vigor In , the coming years. V The list of subjects discussed was a long onel Elbrldge T. Gerry of New York, author of the famous Gerry law, read a paper on parental religion as a factor In child saving work, and a num ber of speakers discussed the introduc tion of further humane education into the schools of the land. The associa tion haa also heard that the very work tbey are doing may be overdone. The speaker to tell them this was John Partridge, president of the Ban Fran cisco Society for the Prevention of Cru elty to Animals. He regards the over doing of the antl-oruelty crusade as a method of wrecking the society engaged i In the work. Miss Marshall Saunders of Halifax, Nova Scotia, sounded a trumpet call against trafflo In wild birds, and M. C Dow of Ohio advocated a system of horse vacations. The prob lem of the Increasing numbers of aban doned wives and children - was dis cussed by Ralph Jacobs of New York, , Tart Xnflueaoe of "Black Beauty." Perhaps the most interesting humani tarian work now going on in the United States is the education of the youth of the land, through the work of the Amer ican Humane Kducatlon association. It organizes bands of mercy at every pos sible point; of which there are now near ly 75.000 in the United States, with a membership of nearly S, 000,000 children, all pledged to work in the Interest of humane treatment for dumb animals. George T. Angell, the eminent . Massa chusetts humanitarian. Is at the bead1 of it, and through his paper, "Our Dumb Animals," has contributed as anuch to the better treatment of them as any other man living or dead. To him is due the great crusade sentiment cre ated by "Black Beauty," a book that is to this crusade what "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was to the anti-slavery move ment. Mr. Angell secured a copy of the English edition and carried it to one book house after another. None of them thought the sales would pay for the set ting of the type. Mr. Angell took the matter In hand himself, . and today "Black" Beauty" has reached a sale of 3,000,000 copies and the end Is nowhere in sight. He thinks the sales may ulti mately reach 10.000,000 copies. The author sold the manuscript to an Eng lish house for 1100. Vtatlstloa of Anti-Cruelty. Nearly every state in she Union now has Its laws for the protection of ani mais from cruelty, and for the similar protection of children. During last year 131 active anti-cruelty societies, out of a total of 866 in the United States, reported 136,000 children and 480,000 animals Involved In investiga tions conducted by the agents of ' these societies. Of these agents 7(1 were paid and about 4,000 were volunteers. Nearly 80,000 prosecutions were Instituted, of which 22,800 resulted in convictions. More than $800,000 was received from the 50,000 contributors - to the - cause, added to which was $118,000 received from fines. All receipts amounted to $942,000, and the disbursements amount ed to $859,000. There.re 2 societies which - are very wealthy, owning 47 buildings, whose aggregate value is' placed at mere than $1,832,000. In nine years there have been 20,000 dogs' cared for by the animal rescue league of Boston. They say that not In IN OUR ESTABLISHMENT WORTH $20.00, $25.00, $30.00 AND $35.00 MEN'S WHITE- .

OAK AND PIINE all that number of dogs did they have one go mad with rabies, and some of the members of this league are skep tical about hydrophobia. They declare that any man would act In a similar manner if he were pursued by a howling mob,, armed with sticks, stones and every other imaginable weapon of of fense and defense. Many of them think It unwarranted cruelty to munle dogs during a mad dog scare. ; starvation on Stock Bsngee. One of the most Impressive publica tions that has appearedin the interest of the humanitarian movement is the rfcoort of the Colorado state board.' It rts filled with pictures of ' landscapes showing thousands of horses, cattle and sheep which were literally starved to death. One picture shows a well-to-do farmhouse, with large barns filled with hay, which could then be bought for $4 a ton.:. Tet in the foreground. In full sight of this scene of prosperity, are the skinned carcasses of dozens of cat tle. The farmer was inhumane enough to let them starve, and (rasping enough to profit by the hides that covered their starved bodies. In other pictures there are shown hundreds of. sheep that were allowed to starve to death, and in some of them eVen horses dead from starva tion. In . every case they were within the reach of succor If only the people had been willing to give it. The first anti-cruelty society In the United States was chartered In 18(6. Since then the movement has ' had a steady and uninterrupted growth. Texas and Colorado have enacted a law to pre vent steer-roping. This cowboy sport always carries with It more -or less dan ger to the life and limb of the wild steers, so that even In the lands where the cowboy once reigned supreme, his lasso is forever robbed of Its power. The cowboys failed to rope in the pro posed legislation, ,because of a bad throw of their opposition lasso. Protection of Children. The work of protecting children from cruelty is one of the largest functions of the anti-cruelty societies of the coun try. There are about a million chil dren in the United States in whose in terests the law has to intervene. Thou sands of them are abandoned, and but for these societies might spend their whole lives in ignorance, squalor and misery. The last report of the Colo rado commissioner shows the picture of a white boy who was abandoned and waa forced to seek shelter tn a negro hut. There are thouaands of cases like this throughout the land. There has been much discussion as to whether it was proper to combine the protection of children and of animals under one soci ety, but the doubt haa been resolved in favor of one organisation in places where the population does not warrant the maintenance of two separate soci eties. Koral Suasion Best Beformer. Most anti-cruelty societies have come to the conclusion that moral . suasion is the best way to combat cruelty to ani mals and children. They say that a fine often serves to make a driver more cruel and vindictive toward his beast than ever, whereas moral suasion may make him permanently a kind man to his beast. While in exceptional cases & fine, or even a jail sentence may be necessary, yet in the majority of cases a suspension of judgment on a promise to be kind to his beast In the future is productive of the most good. Sometimes the anti-cruelty societies have to resort to unique -methods to ac complish their ends. Not long ago there was a long distance riding contest an nounced. It was an interesting affair, and no method could be devised to pre vent Its taking place. At last the hu manitarians hit upon a plan which succeeded. They interested the local so cieties in the cities along the route and notice was served on the proposed riders that every city would be looking for them and that the least cruelty to their mounts would result In arrest. The ?lan worked like a charm. All but a ew of the riders gave it up and these were exceedingly careful not to override their steeds. Work of Massachusetts Society. . The Massachusetts societies are about the most active in the United States. During a recent year they put to death by humanitarian methods, 2,800 'horses and other animals. They maintain an ambulance for sick horses, and respond ed to about 300 calls during the year. They have aided in the establishment of watering places for horses in the various cities and towns of the state, at each pf which is posted the sign, "Blessed are the merciful." They of fered prises aggregating many hundreds of dollars for the best essays on given humanitarian subjects. Besides this, they have circulated hundreds of thou sands of pamphlets, pleading for mercy for children and animals, and on the whole, have insured to the children and animals of the Bay state about as kind treatment as thev are corded in any other state In the Union. One of the best monuments to the activity of the humane societies of the country Is the law preventing rail roads from hauling enttle for more than 18 hours without rest, food and water. It means some added expense to do this, but before the law was enacted cattle were kept In cars as much as 60 hours at a time, with no more feed and water than they could get 'out of little sMe troughs. A big fight has been made for the repeal flf this legislation, but; fortunately for the cattle, without suc cess. ... MONEY FOR CO0K FROM HIS FBIENPS (Doited Ptms Luted Wlre.l San Francisco, Nov. 20.
