ROBBED OF DIAMOND RING-Ignatious Nc

gaining converts daily, even hourly. 1t is talked
of in the homes, in the Offices and stores, on
the streets-everywher Ordinarily sober-minded
men and women fooshly think there is whole
lot to it, and, sheeplike, appear only anxious to
follow the leader and take up the hue and cry of
Kill the dogs@
Over two hundred of the dumb brutes have
been put out OF the way far by the guardians of
the peace under the orders OF those supposedly ser
ous-minded bodies, the board OF aldermen and the
common council. A wonderful record il is, show
ing great interest, that could, however, be de-
voted TO other matters more vital to the welfare OF
the public in general
To say the very least, it is senseless and
absolutely indefensble crusade The dog doesn't
get ghost of show! There was time when
mnd-hs-own business canine could have an ear
ache toothache or other bodily ailment and
show its distress, too by actions other than nor
NAL, without being condemned as suffering from
rabies. Let dog today scratch itself bit too
long, eye an individual in more or less impertinent
manner and some rattle Drained mortal will at once
Jump at the conclusion that the dog is mad. Yet
il would appear it's the people, many of them, who
mad mad upon this subject of rabies
One doesn't have to search very long TO learn
OF reforms that might be more for the public 5
good than this barbarous and wholesale killing of
dumb brutes. There are lot OF laws that could
be enforced, the lack of enforcement of which re-
suits III the death OF many more people than from
rabid dogs, if there is really any such thing.
How about the splitting on the sidewalk
law? Is it enforced? Hardly And it is safe to
say many case of consumption arises from the
fact that it is not enforced.
How about the speed law in regard TO auto
mobiles? Is this carried out to any extent? No!
There probably more lives endangered by the
speed maniac in week than by rabies during a
decade
These are but two of the glaring examples OF
the enforcement of laws. 1t makes the blood
of the serious-thnking and humane citizen boil
with indignation TO view the needless massacre OF
the man s friend the dog Where is the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals during this
rabies bug-a-boo? Has anyone heard eX-
preston from it in regard to the heartless and in
human treatment of the animals? If this society
made protest it would have many supporters,
beyond doubt
Why should the dog be picked out to keep the
officers of the law busy while conditions that are
really a public peril are permitted to continue
without remedy?

CHILD LABOR.

If reports from Washington arc not mslead-
ing Speaker Cannon of the house of representa-
tivcs is favorably disposed toward child labor leg
islation and action upon that subject may be taken
at the present short session of congress
In this connection it may be said that if any
thing at all is done it should be direct, emphatic
and effective There is now ir the house reso-
luton introduced the preceding session by Con
eressman Gardner of Massachusetts, and favorably
reported upon which directs the bureau of labor
to investigate and report the number of children
employed in the United States, the wages earned
BY them and other facts relating to their condition
resolution Of similar character also recently
adopted BY the senate.
Unquestionaby an inquiry OF the kind pro-
posed would be instructive and valuable, but it
should not be substituted for positive action by
congress Indeed such an inquiry into the sub
iect of child labor throughout the country would
probably bring better results if made after rather
than before the enactment of law prohibiting the
employment of such labor in the District of Co
lumbia The national government should set an
example by cleaning up the district over which IT
exercises complete control
1t is understood the president favors a plan
for the regulation Of child labor through the excu
sion from interstate commerce of the products OF
industries in which children Of tender age are en-
ploycd.
There seems TO be serious doubt, however,
whether such all enactment would withstand the
test of constitutionality though of course there
can be no harm in making the experiment. The
matter of chief moment is TO secure positive action
bv the national government that will encourage
state and municipal governments to establish and
effectively enforce strict regulations regarding
employment of children.
