AGAINST THE MUZZLiNG or DOGS

Chicago. May 1G.-rO the Editor: In
tO.dny's edition =. q. b. writes asking
that dogs he muzzlcd and that all UNI
muzzled dogs be killed, or mt least re-
deemed only by payment of II fine.
Now. u m,izzle worn during the hot
season tOrtures u dog almost unbear-
ably. II Is true that once IN Il while
Il dog does 20 mad and bite people,
but that Is no reason for muzzling the
10000 dogs of the city. 1t Is well
known that the dangerous dog IL the
one which has been tied up or muzzled
till he Is irritated beyond control.
As II matter of fact, this means only
an added burden for the law-abiding
dOgkeeper. He Is the person who suf-
fers mt the hands of the dog-stealers.
AS it Is, he Is the one who pays his H.
cense, and now he must he made to
Keep his dog muzzled. II Chief O'Neill
wants to do any good he must give or
ders to round up the stray dogs. As
IL Is now the dOg.catchers take mostly
the good.looking, well-kcpt dogs, whose
masters can pay fine.
II seems to be about the size of the
Chicago police to shoot dogs, seize gum
machines, etc. II they would spend
more time cleaning out the hOldup
men. the ICON" men and the saloons ON
State and Clark streets they might do
som" good All they want, however,
is an excuse to get money out of the

IL Is not known that anybody ever has
objected to II. The law does not spc-
officially confer on the Chicago Board of
Education this authority to buy text
books for the children of needy pa
rents. but implicitly II has that nutlori-
~ and has exercised 1t without obicc-
ton. II does not appear TO have any
power. specific or implied. TO give text
books to children whose parents are
able to buy them.
few months ago some of the school
teachers began telling how Inundated
the children Of poor parents were by
having to use text books whose labels
showed that they had been paid for
with public funds These teacher =
argued that the only way i'm which
these children could he saved from he
Ing put to shame was for the board to
supply text books to all the pupils, even
though the parents of most of them
Were quite able to buy their books.
The Board of Education was influenced
by these arguments and by representa-
lions that school work was delayed at
the beginning of the school year by
the slowness with which some of the
pupils got their books. and It made an
appropriation for free text books In
the four lower grades.
The question which the courts will
have To pass on II this threatened APP
plicntion for an injunction IL made will
not be whether 1t Is desirable for the
schools or the school children that free
text books shall he furnished to pupils
whose parents can afford to pay for
them. Tho only question Will he
whether the Legislature has empow-
cred the Board of Education to do this.

DEFEAT THESE ALDERMEN.

Every Alderman who voted for the
garbage box steal should be beaten for
reelection.
Now does Superintendent of Streets
Dohcrty have to lend his ear TO com.
plants from hOuschOldcrs.
The new municipal cleanliness or,li.
nance calls for two metallic cans AT the
rear of each residence. for garbage and
ashes. These cans cost about $3.50
each. Figuring that there are 100000
households in Chicago this means a
total expenditure of the modest sum of
S2,OOO.O0O. Hence the loud wall.
Owners of fiat buildings in partIcu-
lar are indignant. The providing OF
these receptaclcs for each HAT means
the expenditure of n considerable sum.
Superintendent of Streets Dohcrty
smiles and says to each "kicker": 1.-The
Aldermen passed the ordinance. We
had nothing to do with It down here.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.

The Board of Education set aside
100000 to he used. in whole or in
part, to supply pupils in the first -four
grades with text books. Certain Ger
man Catholic societies I'm this city
have decided to go into court and ask
10 have this proposed expenditure en-
joined. Apparently they will be able
TO make out a pretty plausible case.
The school law authorizes Boards of
Directors of school districts to buy at
the public expense n sufficient number
of the text books used To supply chill
dren whose parents are not able to buy
them. This provision needs no defense.

Besie,'. waukeran Brewinu Comm,

nesieS's Nnhkeyan brewing Com panys,
1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention of the trade, ana private fam
HES, to the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter OF undoubted purity AMI Of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops in the
manufacture of malt liquors has re-
suited In an inquiry for an article OF
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything OF harmful or deleterl-
Gus nature, and nj u price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto TO obtain such an article has
led consumers 10 purchase imported
goods at u high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
uneXcelled in quality, equal in every
respect TO the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops in the market, no substitutes
whatever being used. and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy groccrs, the prin-
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists.

81 cannot help it If some of my polit-
ical friends are antagonistlc to the
course am about to take i'm appointing
new warden. 1t must be patent to
everybody that the membership of the
committee advocating the change was
such as to make II representative of the
best elements of the community. Its
decision IN the matter will be my law.
I think can safely promise that before
my term a. President of the County
Board is over every vestige of political
favorltism and pull will have disap-
pcared from the management of the
County Hospital"
This statement was made by Presi-
dent Hanberg yesterday while he was
outlining the qualifications that the
next warden would have TO possess.
Mr.. Graham's letter 10 the Grand Jury
some weeks ago and his attitude while
on the stand before the investigating
committee went long way toward de-
Gliding the Presidents present action.
even II the committee had not asked
for the warlen's resignation. while,
] must not say what transpired In our
executive sessions" Mr.. Hanberg con.
tinued. still think the other members
Of the committee will bear me out when
l state that we were all assured very
early In the proceedings that there was
an undesirable clique at the hospital.
That clique will be broken up In short
order"
Mr.. Hnnberg believes that the ring he
speaks of numbers only few people.
ana denies that there is any intention
to make wholesale changes. Ii Is cer-
tain that Chief Clerk Purvls has made
himself obnoxious TO the President of
the board and the members of the Hos
pltal Committee. and there Is little
doubt that he will DC made to feel the
weight Of official dlspleasure. The.
changes, however. viii not touch the
majority OF the rank and file. most Of
whom are believed to have given faith
ful service.
Nobody has yet been thought of for
the position of warden. but President
lianberS has made up his mind that the
next incumbent must be a man of con-
siderable executive ability, with good
business head and II fair education. He
said: IL intend to exercise great care
IN selecting man to I'LL Graham's
place. One thing is certain; no physi-
elan VIII be appointed. The idea Of Sc
Letting medical superintendent to act
IN conjunction with the executive head
makes that unnecessary, and besides It
would be hard matter to find medl-
cal man with the necessary executive
ability for the place"
