LEE Easy-Riding Cars _Are THE Economical A Word for One of Our Best Friends To tne Eprror or Lire: As an exponent of law and justice I appeal to you to take up the question of the inhuman ordinance that requires all dogs, whether on a leash or not, to be muzzled after September che fifteenth. The natural respiration of the dog that is checked if not stopped by the use of a tight muzzle is as if some means were used so that a horse was checked in its sweating. It means death. That the public should be protected against vicious, ownerless dogs gocs with- out saying, but when you class the dog— the best friend of man—with the bubonic- carrying rat you go too far, It is but natural in cities many dogs are born that should not have been born. How does this compare with the offspring of our criminal classes that are born every day as a menace to law and order? The dog has always been the friend and guardian of man, of master that it always recognizes and to whom it is always true. Other animals have their uses for food and for the destruction of various pests, but the dog stands in a class of its own. The greatest men the world has ever produced had their faith- ful dog. We must have laws to protect us from vicious dogs as from vicious and criminal mankind, but when such laws take the form of torture, and torture that incites disease that we need proper protection from, then it goes too far. Such laws are engendered from distorted, unbalanced, unfair minds. The human being that cannot appreciate what the affection of a faithful dog means is wanting in human nature. Place the responsibility of the ownership of the dog on the owner and then laws for protection and not for persecution. Very truly yours, Lora C. Scurogver, ew York, August 28, 1914.

It was at this crisis that a real bene- factor of the race arose. “Happiness is no longer necessary, my dear friends,” he observed, confi- dently, “I have here something which is just as good as——"” The people thereupon rejoiced, for, having been for such a long time ac- customed to using just-as-good-as products, they naturally did not know the difference, Cribb.
