SAYS DOGS WELL CARED
FOR DO NOT HAVE RABIES

PASADENA, July S.-lEditor Her
ald1: 1t seems to me your Fenner cor
RESPONDENT is not quite fair about the
dog question. I don't suppose there is
one dog out Of thousand that ever
goes mad, and that would not happen
II the dog had good home and proper
care.
People who do not like dogs are not
compelled to keep them. But they
should be compelled to let sthe people
alone who do likeSthem and are will
ing to pay taxes. There are few
people running loose that ought to be
taxed out of existence" MRS. G. II.

m HE government is looked upon as
directly responsible for the burden
n of debt and the misery of the
people, and yet the authorities are
recklessly proceeding with the ever
increasing expenditure Of money. The
high tariff on the necessities of life,
intended to produce revenue to meet
the war debt, has resulted in increased
cost of living in all directions. Things
have advanced by 20 per cent in the
last five years, without any corre-
spending increase in wages. Recent
advices from Japan state that during
the past twelve months the price of
rice, the poor mans bread. has gone
up to double what It was a year ago
and is now higher than ever before in
the history of Japan.
Japan, having entered recklessly
upon the policy of Imperialism and ex-
pansion, is going on indifferently, adj
ding to the nations liabilities by rais-
ing loans, expanding armament and in
dulging in various extravagant enter
prises that would stagger even nations
with far greater resources. Some of
Japan's wisest statesmen and finan-

n NE sees by the papers-that favor

~ Dooley, the philosopher-that an
unusual number Of persons availed
themselves of opportunities to escape
from their impressions of an urban
Fourth of July and fed to fresh fields,
where the flrecracker does not pursue
or the Chinese bomb deafen. There
can be little doubt that Independence
day in the city has earned bad name,
but there are signs of reform. The
rigor of the game has softened. 1t may
be that contemporary nerves grow
more touchy and jumpy. At any rate,
the mollycoddle is treated with more
consideration. 1t is well.
There was a period in the long ago
when the Oakland boy promised to de-
velop in process of evolution a sawed
off race, of imperfect mobility, owing
to his shortened stumps. In those roar

jump on and off the moving cars. 1t
was diverting pastime. but it short
ened many a boy. Mr.. Huntington was
a real benefactor of the Oakland spe-
cies, although, indeed, he never meant
to be.
In a similar line of evolution San
Francisco might in time have devel-
oped the thumbless boy had the ancient
Fourth Of July been permitted to rage
with its customary fury. Somebody
has invented safe, sane and conserva-
tive means of noise and the police did
the rest. 1t was deemed worthy of
mention in the papers of July that the
emergency hospitals had done no busi-
ness on the preceding day. 1t was q
