I CarlsonBros&Frost PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS Physicians Prescrip tions and Family-Re cipes carefully cam I pounded by Regis $ tered Pharmacists. Sick Room Supplies of ail kinds I Toilet Articles and Sundries HUMANE EDUCATOR CRITICIZES ROOSEVELT AND TAFT. Mr. George T. Angell is the edi tor of "Our Dumb Animals," the official publication of the Massa chusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Ameri can Humane Society and the Ameri can Band of Mercy. He is also the president of these organizations. For some time past he has criti cised the Rooseveltian ideas of war, pugilism and wanton slaughter of wild animals. Having his head quarters at Boston, Mass., in one of the strongest republican sections of the country and being himself a lifelong republican, his stand against Roosevelt has attracted na tional attention. In the last issue of his paper appeared the following ai tide, which we give to our read ers for what it may bo worth: BETTER NOT MEDDLE WITH We are in Business for Your Health. POLITICS. My dear Mr. Angell:—It seems to me that it would be better for \ou not to say so much thru your paper about politics. Ansswer. Many years ago our good father thought it iii^s duty to try to piesuade one of his richest parishioners to give up selling liq uor, which was becoming a great clanger in the town. The reply was, "I think you had better stick to the preach in' of the gospel and not meddle with other matters." Our father thought he was preach ing the gospel, and finally his par i^hioner concluded to give up the business. Now our mission is not to prevent cruelty to animals alone, but to prevent wars, which for ages have brought hell on earth to mil lions of human beings as well as animals, and thru humane educa tion and otherwise to promote Glo ry to God, Peace on Earth, Kind ness, Justice and Mercy to Every Living Creature, both human and those we call dumb. For this pur pose we have been fighting for years the President of the United States, whom our ecxellent ex-Governor and ex-Senator Boutwell declared "to be the most dangerous man in America," and about whom the Springfield Republican recently said "it is well for the country that the days of his stay have been num bered." A man whom we hold ac countable for all the cost and suffer ing past and future of our Cuban and Philippine wars a man whose thoughts seem to be full of readi ness to fight, who, altho a ranch man himself, never said a word as far as we can learn about the hun dred thousand dumb creatures that have been dying on the western plains from slow starvation a man whose great enjoyment jseems to be in shooting, wounding and killing creatures that never harmed him, and promoting in our army, navy and everywhere as a chief sport, pugilistic boxing a man who would strike off our coins the words placed there by our fathers, "In God we soon as possible in the militia and then (as we understand it )wants the President to have about the same power over the militia that the Czar of Russia has over the serfs in his dominions. We will not complain that our disapproval of his leaving his presidential duties at Washington for hunting in the west resulted in the throw ing out of our paper from the pub lic schools of Washington, D. because it attracted the attention of nearly every newspaper in Amer ica and some in Europe and result ed in benefit to our work, and we do not intend to say more than we have already said about his pro posed shootings in Africa, because we think it better that he should be occupied there than to be stir ring up a fighting spirit in all the public schools of America. Now come before us two candi dates to fill his place, the one whom he has chosen and seems determined shall succeed, a man who has trav eled over the world at the govern ment's, expense, taking with him such of his own and Roosevelt's family as he chose, hobnobbing with kings and military leaders, and the question is, has he shown the wise judgment which ought to be held by the President of the United trust,"a man who wants all Jhe school boys of the United States to civilization and humanity use army rifles and be enlisted as I Geo. T. Angell. States? Was it good judgment at the tomb of General Grant, in the presence of Grant's children and friends, to tell the world what Grant's children deny, and speak of the "squalid" surroundings of Abraham Lincoln's early home? Was it good judgment to travel all the way from Virginia to Oyster Bay to have Roosevelt tell him what he should say in his campaign speech? Was it good judgment to ride forty miles in Virginia to see a horse race and then go to a hotel to dance the german? Was it good iudgment to tell the reporters (as has been widely published) that he wants to be called "Bill?" Was it good judgment to stand in line with three other politicians, in bobtail coats, to have his photograph taken to send over the country and the world as being a .suitable man to fill about the most important office in the world? We doubt it, and are afraid that if elected his simi lar mistakes in carrying out the Rooseveltian policies might involve us in wars which would cost us bil lions of money and hundreds of thousands of lives of human beings and horses. We hope that we may be mistaken in regard to the dan ger. As to the other candidate, Bryan, we only know that he seems to have no special connection with Roose velt and no special desire that we are aware of to carry out the Roose velt fighting poilcies. It is a terri ble pity, we think, that our nation cannot be permitted to vote for a man like Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, wounded in three battles while fighting for his country, head of the supreme court of Massachu setts, and judge of the supreme court of the United States, and we have a strong hope that before many years a new party will come up, embracing the best elements of both the others and carry our na tion up to a higher standard of CARY SAFE CO.
