ACCORDING TO LAW"
Doubt as to Regulation Regarding
Disposal of Dogs.

DR.. William c. Woodward, health officer
of the District. has asked the Commission
ers to request the corporation counsel to
explain what is meant by a recent amend
ment to the police regulations providing
that no cattle. dog, horse, mule or like
animal shall be allowed TO go at large
and If caught running at large they are
to be disposed of according to law"
The amendment was made by the COM
mssioners last month. but DR.. Woodward
questions the right to apply the provisions
of the amendment to dogs which are
tagged" He explains that the right of
a tagged dog to run at large il the Dis
trict Is provided by act of Congress. which
leV1es a tax on all dogs, making them per-
sonal property. The act provides that
this tax shall be So annually and that the
owners name shall be recorded in the
Office of the collector of taxes and that
the owner shall be furnish d a tag which
Is to he attached to the collar of the ami
NAL. showing that the same has the night
to run at large.
In directing the attention of the Com
missioners to this alleged flaw in the
amendment DIR. Woodward says that the
poundmaster of the District. whose duty it
is to corral all taglesS and stray dogs
wandering about the city, is without au-
thority to seize tagged dogs running at
large. The act is silent as to the disposal
by the poundmaster of any dogs except
as he is authorized by the statute to seize
tagless. fierce and dangerous dogs or dogs
condemned to death by the judges of the
Police Court.
AS a result of the amendment the
health officer and the poundmaster are
unable to determine what 1t is proposed
to have the poundmaster do with tagged
dogs turned over to him under the amend
ment to be disposed of according to law
when the tagged dogs SO turned over are
not dangerous or fierce or otherwise pro-
hibited from running the streets In Or
der that there may not be misunderstood

requested that the Commissioners give
an explanation of the amendment

Bringing Prosperity Back.

Jasper, in Leslie's. Weekly.
 The trouble has been Ihat great many-far too many-persons in this country listen to what other people have to say or read in some yellow journal the ebullitons of a perverting and distorting mind, and, without weighing the facts, without consider ing that there may be two si'<s to the question, accept a prejudiced conclu- sion and make 1t their own. No man. woman, or oh i'd would care to be tried in court which would hear but one side of case, and accept its Judgment as just and fair. It is not surprising. tn erefore, that the business men of the country. the manufa cturers, the great employers of labor in our industries and on our railroads, are protesting against the snap judgment of the muck rakers and the yellow press, and are resenting insinuations of men in high places against the business integINtv of those who have achieved great wealth. These men of affairs have hay a far better part in the developments of our national prosperity than all the demagogues politicians and pseudo statesmen put togeth CT. They and the great agricultural and working masses brought about the recent phenomenal prosperity and they are now lealing the sunshine movement" hopitg to bring prosperity back to us once more.

 Are Being Used AN INTERESTING STUDY Journeys of 500 Miles In a Wheelbar- row Nothing Unusual In China.
 Foreign Autos In Tropi-
 cal America.

From the New York Press
 "There are 10O,O00,OOO horses In the world. Of these S0OOo are in the temperate zone and the Occident,' sad O. P. Austin. Different people notice different things In travelling. MT. Austin in the course of a 20,000-mile trip around the world noticed particularly queer methods of transportation, of which he told the members of the American Mu- scum of Natural History on a recent evening.
 ''In the United States and Canada there is one horse to every 161a inhabitants.' said he; Tin South America, one to seven; in Mexico one to 12, and so on to Africa, where there is only one to every 150 in- habitants, largely confined to one section of the continent The horse cannot live in the tropics, and in the Orient, owing to the density of population they cannot af- ford the land necessary to support him. did not realize till I visited those lands the difficulties under which men of the Orient and of the tropic have labored in exploring and settling their countries and building up commerce without the animal which has been the companion of Occidental man in all his wanderings. To put them on an equal footing with us some means of transportation must be found to take the place of the horse. Ir tropical America they are fast in- troducing freight automobiles. In Mexi- co, Argentina, Honduras and other South American countries these freight auto mobiles may be found making regular trips over the country roads hauling trains of wagons full of produce to market. Roads fit for motor use are perfectable practicable in the tropics. Wit ness India, which has 10000 miles of roads, 5o,OOO of them macadamized
 Old Transportation Methods.
 Despite all I had read and all the pie lures had seen, found when l reached China and Japan that I had never really believed that the methods of transporta- ton there to be seen were really in use at the present day. In China the three principal methods of transportation are the sedan chair, the jinriksha, and the wheelbarrow The use of this last hum- ble vehicle astounds the American when he first sees it. The Chinese wheelbarroW has the wheel in the center, and ropes from the handles over the shoulders Of the wheelman help support the weight. With these contrIvances he will wheel half d ton, half horses load. Along either side of the wheel run long seats or shelves and at the end of the working day these shelves are loaded with SIX or eight, or even 10 or F, working people going home from work. Hundreds Of Wheebarrows full of these passengers can be seen trundling gayly through the streets of the cities. Passengers make journeys of 60 miles by wheelbarrow. Sometimes they rig up a little sail to help the Wheelman along.
