Washington, Nov. 10. 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

63-65 THIRD STREET, BET. 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. ...
