LIBERTY
"What Is liberty ? You say of a
locomotive that 11 runs free. What
do you mean ? You mean that Its
parts are so assembled and adjust-
ed that friction Is reduced to a
minimum, and that it has perfect
adjustment."—Woodrow Wilson.

Cotuit
Following the hearing last week at the State House on Rep.
Sherman Miles' bill to make available for medical research un-
claimed stray animals, an editorial was published in a Boston
daily giving an example of how experiments on animals give
medical students practice from which to work successfully on
human beings. It quoted an honor that was paid a year ago to
Bozo, a stray dog, by the Dachshund Club of America, for his
services as a "guinea pig." Their work with him enabled young
doctors later to know how to extract pins, buttons, and other
obstacles from children's throats.
The editorial in question puts such service in the class with
stories of the many heroic acts by dogs and cats which saved
human lives. It seems to us that voluntary acts of bravery on
the part of animals, such as warning of fire and danger and ac-
tual rescue, are not comparable to an involuntary sacrifice for
experiments made possible by forcible seizure of the animal.
"Man's Greatest Friend" is the title of the editorial. But
friendship implies an active, positive quality. To be forced into
an action, even if a beneficial one to others, is not performing
an act of friendship.
Man's Greatest Friend
March can be a fickle wench
As »1) poor mortals know—
She gives us rain ; she gives us hail—
.She often gives us snow !
Willi winds that roister down the road
Tearing at, our hair—
Then swings into H day of Spring
Quiet , warm and fair.
•
Ami through it nil like threads of gold
To enrich and bind together
Huns the promise true that soon will come
The settled , growing weather.

"Ought Not To Pas*"
The bills in the current state legislature to add severa l holi-
days to our calendar and to make all holidays , with the exception
of Christmas, New Year 's, and July 4, fall on Monday are ill-
advised , we believe.
According to bills submitted , new holidays should be created
ior August 14. VJ Day. election days, both state and national;
March 17 and June 17. both anniversaries of the Revolutionary
War; and December 7 as American Allegiance Day . Thanksgiv-
ing would be observed the last Monday of November; and Labor
Day the first Monday of September, if not earlier than the 5th
day of the month, otherwise the second Monday .
There are several points to make. We have quite a lew holi-
days, as it is. Once in a while, a new anniversary cries for public
expression through a holiday, and one is legally made. Let that
come as it will.
The long weekend caused by a Monday holiday is not only
pleasant to the individual , but probably also less costly to the
employer in stopping and starting work and plant. These consid-
erations are outweighed, however, by the fact that variety is the
spice of life and may be. too.the spice of work. A mid-week holi-
day is a pleasure and interrupts the usual routine, thus prevent-
ing the forming of ruts in workers, causing them to do better
and more work.
There is probably no objection to a change in the Labor
Day date, but whoever heard of eating the traditional Thanks-
giving dinner on Monday? It comes too near Sunday, for one
thing, and the result would probably be that family gatherings
would be held Sunday and Monday become just a "day off."
Why upset the happy irregularities and changes in living
and bring everything down to stereotyped form, deadly routine
and hum-drum? No, a mass shifting of holidays to form a math-
ematical 2x2 pattern is not a good move, in our estimation. We
would label these bills "ought not to pass."
