Gainesville Eagle. W. H. CRAIG. Editor and Business Manager. Entered at Gainesville. Ga., post-office as second-class matter. Bagle Call: Bell Phone No. 56. Thursday, April 11, 1912. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. There is a law on the statute books of this State making it a crime to cruelly treat an animal, either wild or domestic. But we are inclined to say that the public conscience as to this matter has on it a very dull edge. Very few ar rests for this crime are on record in these parts, and in these few cases the matter at issue has always hinged upon monetary damage sus tained by the unfortunate animal. Nothing seems to be thought about the physical suffering. Once when we were on the grand jury a case came before us of over driving a horse. Many questions were asked, for they all owned horses. But always these questions were as to how much the horse had been damaged in dollars and cents. No one ever thought of its physi cal sufferings. Also the cruelly whipping of a small boy by a teacher. He bared his shoulder, which showed a criss cross of red and angry welts. The jurors looked at the spectacle, and held a symposium and compared notes as to “how hard I whip/’ Some asserted with ap parent pride that “I whip pretty hard.” But as there was no evi dence as to the impairment of the little fellow’s earning capacity, no bill was found. No, brethren, that is the trouble. There is a dub edge, a very dub edge upon the public conscience as to the suffering of dumb brutes. In this connection we gladly give place to the following letter- Gainesville, Ga., April 5, 1912. Editor Eagle: Having spent several days in your city, I have noticed several instances of animals being driven about your streets which are in no condition to work. I mention one case in particular: Down at the station I saw a team hitched to a hack. One one of the horses had a bad cut on his hind leg and could hardly stand on it. The cut was an old one, but was badly swollen. The other leg seemed to be lame, too, for the horse kept shifting, standing first on one foot and then the other, as though both were lame. I talked to the owner, remonstrating against working an ani mal in such condition. He promptly told me that the hoise was his to do with what he pleased. Besides I saw other cases that need attention. Being actively engaged in humane work, I notice such things as these. There are laws in the Georgia Code which make such cruelty offenses pun ishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, and in these cases prosecutions should be made. Steps should be taken by the people •f the city to prevent such outrages as cruelty, and I’m sure the good people of Gainesville will endorse a movement to stamp out such practices, which are a reflection on the town. Conditions in my town, Anniston, Ala., were very bad. In order to put a stop to it we organized a Humane Soci ety, of which I have the honor to be President. We have the support of -every business man as well as a large membership among the citizens at large. We have the situation well in hand, area though we have just organized. Our warnings are being heeded, and so far we have not prosecuted anyone, but we will do so necessary. An organiza tion of this kind should do a great deal of good here in Gainesville, and I will be very glad to give any information possible to help promote such good work. I certainly hope that on my next trip here I will find conditions are im proved and not see any evidences of cruelty to animals as I have today. Yours very truly, O. D. POLAND, Pres. Anniston (Ala.) Humane Society. We are quite sure that we will be in the bounds of truth when we say that in this community many horses and mules have died from overwork, from cruel beating, and from starvation. But whose busi ness is it? Who wants to interfere, and put his head into a hornets’ nest? When this heathen master says that it is his own beast to do what he pleases with, it expresses beauti fully the condition of the public conscience. OH YOU SPONTANEOUS PRESSURE! Our esteemed neighbor the hews has just found out that Tom Bell will run again—but with a mighty proviso. Provided that Congress adjourns in time. For be it known that this patriot of heroic mould —with the sturdy virtues of the Roman senators—he will not for a single solitary moment neglect the work of the people whereunto he was sent. Os course he could be spared were it not that he is The Whip. The Speaker can be spared, and no one will know the difference. The Speaker can come on the job at quartering time, or even after dinner, and it makes little differ ence. But The Whip—never! Now, doesn’t everybody know that Congress will adjourn early? Os course they’ll adjourn early— and of course Brother Bell knows that. Suppose he knew that Con gress would hold on till the middle ot October! Where then would be this immolation of himself on the altar of the country’s welfare? But at least nine-tenths of the Congressmen have troubles of their own. They are in the same boat with Brother Bell—want to get away early. And of course a nine tenths majority hardly ever have trouble about adjourning when they feel like it. But oh ye old Mr. Spontane— what a fellow you are to work up feeling for a candidate—what a chap you are to engineer an uprising. Listen to the News ot last week: Only yesterday a delegation of stanch friends from Gwinnett county came here solely for the purpose of asking Mr. Bell to formally announce, pledging to him their earnest and loyal support. Now that sure looks a little like a spontane —and that is what we fancied when we read it. It did look a little like there was going to be some spontaning around in spots —and we knew that if it did come it would more than likely come from the good old county of Gwin nett. Yes, so we thought. But lo and behold you—on Sat urday we got the Gwinnett Journal, and it threw great gobs of light on the spontane, for in its ruthless way it busted the spontane bubble as follows: “M. S. Cornett and J. A Smith spent a day in Gainesville this week in con sultation with Congressmen T. M. Bell. MR. BELL INVITED THESE GEN TLEMEN TO SPEND A DAY WITH HIM. He wanted to know something about the political situation in Gwin nett county.” Oh you Mr. Spontane! ON SENATOR BACON. Here is what the McDuffie Prog ress has to say of Senator Bacon: “So after all our United States 1 Senator, A. O. Bacon, is to have opposition. A better movement was never started in Georgia than to get Bacon out of the Unitec States senate. One of the strangest features of politics is that he has been allowed to remain there for seventeen years. During that time he has stood m pretty well with the people at home and yet at the same time he has stood in better with great corporations and trusts of the country. And yet in the face of this record, he has weathered the political storms at home practically without opposition. The State of Georgia needs another United States Senator in his place, and needs him badly. “Instead of voting m the inter est of the people, Senator Bacon voted with Aldrich for a duty of from $1.50 to 13.00 a thousand on lumber, which would pay nearly a hundred millions a year extra profit to the Lumber Trust, but only three or four millions into the U. S. Treasury. He voted with Al drich against free iron ore. He opposed the federal control of the issue of securities by interstate lines (by which it would be alone possible to correct the burden upon us by reason of watered stock). He opposed and voted against the Na tional Pure Food law, which pro tects the public from adulteration in food and medicine, and against adulterated cotton seed meal brau, rotten corn and other stock feea. These instances are sufficient to show that he has not been progres sive. “Senator Bacon was fourteen years a member of the Georgia Leg islature and has been nearly eigh teen years in the Senate. It is asked, during this period of over thirty years of opportunity what measure of constructive or remedial legislation has he initiated tor the relief or benefit of the people?” ODD FELLOWS TO CELE- BRATE MEMORIAL DAY.

We Have Seen Better, But Taking them as a Whole They are Pretty Hard Workers. t By Stick em In the months past we have given you the happenings in the police field. We have boosted them for the proper discharge of ther duty, and we have knocked them when we thought they were not dealing justly with defendants. It is our intention to do justice to all, and as a newspaper to keep the people’s affairs before the people, m order that they may see what is being done, and what is not being done, for if a newspaper doesn’t do this, it is no new’spaper, and its right of publication should be taken from it. As for the Eagle, she will endeavor to* show proceedings as they stand. Now, don’t think for a minute that we are going to take back what we said in regard to officers’ salaries. We are not going to do that—be it far from us—we are merely going to teli you what they have been doing in the past few weeks. Here is Bud Smith. We think from the docket he has pulled every tiger in town, and not only pulled them, but has managed easily to get the whole shebang fined, and Mayor Robertson has added all the way from S2O to SSO to the city’s financial standing at a clip, without the COSTS. Don’t that sound like doing business? Then Here comes Bob Spence, Uls Hughes, Eph Montgomery, Bob Skinner, and Howell Smith. Now, these fellows have added some to the list, themselves, without the cost. They have been keeping a weather eye out on Dark Town, and have puiled a few curfew fellows over the coals for $1 and costs. Don’t forget that it is always “and costs.” And only a few weeks ago they caught a vagrant and it cost him 30 days to get baek where he star ted—a free man. But these are minor points; the thing we started out to say, is this: The officers have found out that we have a speed law, and they have not only found it out but they have gone to enforcing the thing. Yes sir-ee—they have been putting the speeders before the Mayor all the week, and we have heard, via the accident route, that they had caught one fellow and found him guilty, and fined him $25 —nothing said about the cost —and before he had straightened himself out good, they caught him again. Madame Rumor also has it that this is the fifth time tne said speeder has been guilty of exceeding the speed limit. We do not stand sponsor for the story, but we do vouch for the veracity of the party who told us. Well, allowing the devil his dues, and the cop his costs, we say ler ’er go, fellows. We ain’t with ye on the cotta, but we are with ye on stopping so much speeding before it is too late. Bottling Works Running. The Queen City Bottling Works, on Maple Street, formerly run by Roberts <fc Cooper, has been bought by Cheery Nectar Bottling Works, and is now in full blast. Mr. C. 1. McComick is manager.
