The Humane Society. The Washington Iumane Society has issued its annual Thanksgiving appeal for funds to carry on its wor and its president, the Rev. Dr. C. Frnest Smith, has made a report of the good work done during the year. There are in Washington three major associations which are the champions and protectors of poor, hungry and abused animals. These are the Hu- mane Society, the Animal Rescue League and the Humane Education Soclety. There may be others. Each bas the support of the public, works in its special ephere and does much to lessen suffering of animals and to re- lteve those persons who feel distress that so many animals do suffer. The kindly sentiment which many persons feel toward animals marks a change in human nature, and it has come to e generally believed that the person who has no sympathy for underfed and overworked horses, forlorn and starving dogs, homeless, famished and wounded cats and other creatures be- tow the plane of man has some defect in mind and nature. The oldest of these local organiza- +ions is the Humane Soclety, It came into existence in 1870 when it was ! STAR chartered by Congress urder the name' of the Association for Prevention' of Cruelty to Animals. The name was! nged by act of Congress in 1885 to | the Washington Humane Society, and it was authorized to extend its oper tions to the protection of children. As ol Washingtonians know the soclety was organlzed because of gen- 1l and common brutality to horses. Public sentiment was daily offended by cruelty to horses. Thut faithful) nimal has nearly passed away in our streets, and many people thank the gasoline motor for drawing the loads which lame, lean, sick and alled horses were forced by the lash to | draw. Though so many of the hovses of old Washington have passed to ternity, where it is hoped that pa are over green and pink with atd where sweet streams of ays flow, the local socief protection of animals still find ty of work to do, and they need | tunds to do it. The fivst president of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animuls was Theodore W, Gatchell, who served till 1578, when he removed from Wash- ington. At the time of the organizi | tion of the socfety he was_police cor :r of the District.

Time was, and not so long ago, thut we looked on the Ma- rine Band as the great or the only great government music organization. | It has played «t the White House and the Capitol for more than half a cen- tury, and it has marched majestically along the Avenue on thousands of memorable occasions. There have been many government bands sta- tioned at Washington, but they were regimental bands—cavalry, artillery and engineers. They were small bands. That they made music which enrap- tured us at park concerts and in parades need not be told. Everybody of any length of residence in Wash- ington has applauded these bands, but there was always something par- ticularly impressive when the Marine Band turned out.

Tt| seems that many wireless enthusl- ysts have been vicating law by set- ting up aerials and stringing wires across public property, but it is lieved, in fact it is known, that hun- dreds and perhaps thousands of our young people thought they were with- in their rights and had no intent to break the law. The public authorities make the estimate that there are ,000 radio sets in use in Washing- ton, and that o large number of own- ers of se erecting aerials have strung wires over public space. The superintendent of police calls to the inct captains that “it is in violation of law for private individ- ng wires in, along or ucross avenue, alley public thoroughfare or public property of any description.” is also pointed out that & permit from the electrical engincer of the District is required for the erection of an outside aerial, and that “such permit cannot be is- sued in case it is proposed that any part of the aerial or wires connecting therewith are to be on or over any public sice.” Last week @ park po- | liceman was kilied by electricity when a radio wire came in contact with a Ligh-tension electrie wire, and it 1s be- lieved that this accident directed the | bility of more and con- be- uals to st eny street, or ¢ supervising @ ting wires. 1t § sper thing | that the stringing of outside wircsand erection of aerials on roofs should be | under ohservatic 1 regulation by local go ent auth No harm be done by it and injury to per- sons and property may be avoldel.

MESSENGER ‘BY PAUL V. COLLINS From the days of Queen Elizabeth —and in some respects prior to “Good Queen Bess"—until 1846, Eng- land relied on protective tariffs to stimulate {ts industries and farming. In 1846 the manufacturing interests, led by Richard Cobden, succeeded, after seven years of agitation, in abolishing protection on farm prod- ucts by repealing the so-called “corn laws,” dating back to 1463. (“Corn” wns a general name for farm products, particularly wheat und other bread grains. England never raised our kind of corn-malze.) Raw materials for manufactureg were also put on the free list, and practically all protective tarifis were abolished. Since then, free trade has been the basis of dominant Eng- lish economic doetrine. The noliey has been to clieapen food, even at the sacrifice of farming, in order that the farmers would seek employment in the Industries. and that employes could live on checper wages. Low wages depressed cost of production. which enabled the manufacturers to export in competition with other countries. &k There already exists partlal protec- tion to a few industries, through a luw of 1921, known as the “Safe- guarding of Industrics Measure.” which permits the government to put & tariff on any article In whose im- portation appears a menace to Hritixh industries. And there are revenue tariffs (not protective) on spirits, tobaceo and sugar. * 5 ¥ Free trade was unsuccessful tacked in 1303 by the then colonial sccretary, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. When Mr. Bonar Law suceoeded Mr. Lioyd George as prime minister, two years ago, he pledged that “during the whole lifetime of the parlia- mentary five vears there would be no attempt to interfere with the fiscul and commerefal system of the country, because whatever advantage would “accrue,” he said, “the disad- vantage from disturbing trade would be intinitely greater.” Prime Minister Bonar Law died a few weeks uko, and ho was succeeded by Mr. Stanley M. Buldwin of the ame conservative party. Mr. Bald- win recognizes the sacredness of ti pledge above -d, and decides thi it binds his awdminlstration, until he cun secure a mandate from the peo- plo Indorsing his proposed “change of the fiscal and com:mercial policy” from free trade to protection.

Henry Ford has always followed this plan In effect, though not in de- tail. As a result there has never been accumulated a greater fortune in the eame length of time by any man In the history of the world, nor one who has been more generous in dividing with his employes the earnings from his business, nor yet ona whose hun- dred thousand employes are more loyal to thelr work and to their em- ployer. . There are many other large manu- facturing concerns where this plan of profit-sharing has been put in force, with the result of such in- créased efficlency on the part of the aployes that there has been littic or no lessening of the profits to cm- ployers. The wage-earner who knows that he is a part of the institution with which he is connceted, and that he is to receive a share of all the profits, | will work more interestedly and con- scientiously, with the resuit that the output wili be nearly or quite doubled by the industry and efficiency of the employes. And if this plan wers to be put into general operation it would to a large extent act for the prevention of wage slavery, child labor, tene- ment-house labor, and, in fact. all the evils from which 'labor suffers today. It might not at first sight be an attractive proposition to the em- ployer whose every effort heretofore has been to depress wages, to secure labor for the lowest possible price and to strain every nerve to swell tke profits of the employer, but after a'fair trial of this plan, would not all objections to it disappear and the generosity of the employer be more than repald by equal or even in- creased income from capital invested? Ag 1 belleve mygelf to have been the first newspaperman to suggest this idea of profit-sharing, which was in a letter to one of the great New York dailies some twenty-five or more years ago, I am interested to see the plan, which has been so suc- cessful wherever tried, and which has been of such great benefit to. the wage-earners, extend to all the f{n- dustries in this country. If the plan of profit-sharing has been a failure anywhere, it would be interesting to know about it. In _some cases, the manufacturers say, but who is to bear a share of the losses? There can be no losses, un- less, owing to lack of good manage- ment on the part of the employer. And If capital is shy of financing profit-sharing Industries it is wvery easy for employes to finance their own industries” by forming stock companies where each employe be- comes a stockholder to the amount of $100 or more, With the present conditions prevailiug in our indus- tries, which promise to centinue for a long time to come, there would be little or no_possibility of losses.

The amend- ment came up for discussion October 94, 1921, was debated most of the day and was defeated by a vea and | nay vote of 21 to 36.

One of the things he did was to predict the eruption of the voleano Sakurajima in 1910, and, following his advice, the Japanese government for- cibly removed from the vicinity of the site of the predicted eruption the entire population. Scarcely hdd the last persons reached safety before the terrible explosion took place, Omori by his knowledge had saved 30.000 buman lives. Dr. Omori was one of the official delegates of the Jupanese govern- ment to the Pan-Pacific Science Con- ress, recently held In Australla, and, Y & strange coincidence, he was watching u seismograph make its record In the observatory of Rev. Father Pigott, near Sydney, when the disastrous earthquake of September 1 wrought such devastation in Japan. The site of the disturbance was recog- nized by the two expert seismologists long before the tragic news reached Sydney from Japan. Dr. Omori had been 11 for a short time before going to Australia, the result. he belfeved, of overwork.
