Comments on ESPERANTO.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In contemplating the propaganda being
carried on in favor Of Esperanto. one
might say that a wave Of folly. similar

tenuous for qualifying that collection
Of words. the majority without grace,
without elegance. without statcIiness.
and without harmony-a heterogeneous
jargOn. which has been tagged with the.

Whatever the promoters Of that code
may say, and IN spite Of the presump-
tions. its utilization is not only prob
lematic but viii be difficult between per-
sons not speaking the same language, as

AUTOBIOGRAPHY Plea.

Editor Tho Washington Herald:
The Anti-compulsory Vaccination So
ciety OF the District Of Columbia was es-
tablished for the purpose Of helping the
parents Of the District TO free their chill
dren from the law which disgraces
the statute books OF the nation II the
people want help from this society, they
viii get it, if they help the society; it is
impossible otherwise.
There Is no danger whatever from
smallpox in such a sanitary city as
Washington. Pure blood IS the best con-
dition 10 meet the disease with II it ever
appears. A child IS far more liable 10
contract diphtheria frod, vaccination than
he IS 10 ever get smallpox in a lifetime.
The smallpox bugabJo is held up before
parents Just before their children start
TO the public school, but at no other
time, and they are told that their healthy
children are a menace 10 the protected
observation-disclosures they have their chill
dren diseased with cowpox, too. What
an elegant scheme this is, There is far
more danger or a child losing his arm
from vaccination. or being killed by It.
than there is OF his ever getting small
pOx. for which vaccination Is no protec-
ton whatever.
Let this government mind its own bust
ness and attend strictly 70 sanitation.
Disease-grafting Is not sanitation

Remedy for Dog Problem.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Health officers OF the District did not
deal justly with either the dog or its
owner wien they incorporated their now
famous ordinance IN regard TO tbs mug
cling OF Washington dogs. They seem
&c have forgotten that. after people have
paid the dog tax required by law in our
community and obtained the tag, the
dog should be exempt from further at
tention on their part. provided its owner
had compiled with the law; also. to en-
act further regulations" demanding
penalties IL not complied with which looks
very much like a hold-up game such as
Western plains are accustomed to-in
fact. a sort Of legalized robbery.
Second. they forgot to make the nice
distinctions which educated minds are
wont 10 make in regard TO the charac-
ter OF the dogS-that there are dogs and
''dawgs" That a dog is kept and valued
by the householder. primarily, because OF
the protection his presence renders the
owner and thus the dogs fangs. bristIing
and uprisen lair and TAIL have awakened
a wholesome respect in the mind OF the
prowleT, not only because OF the dogs
teeth, but, also, because OF his loud
barking in the very probable event OF his
hearing the footsteps OF the prowler The
health department has lost sight. also. OF
the fact that there are different kinds OF
dogs; some are young and others old;
some large and others small; some natu-
rally vicious and others kind and by 50
doing have failed TO give the question
the attention which II merited. Young
dogs and old dogs are harmless; small
dogs are not apt 10 prove so vicious as
the larger breed; some breeds OF dogs
are naturally vicious. while others are
kindly tempered and can be trusted.
Thus. while a large or vicious dog should
be kept chained or in the yard at all
times It would be a hardship 70 keep a
shepherd dog chained in the yard. and
at the same time Il would be ridiculous.
II owners were made personally respOn-
sible-made 20 feel that vicious dogs en-
dangered the safety Of innocent individ-
uals-that II their dog causes the death
OF a passer-by. They VIII be held strictly
! accountable the result aimed at by the
law would be brought about at once.

VIEWS OF THE PEOPLE
ON INTERESTING TOPICS
Fighting Typhoid Fever.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In view Of the fact that there seems
10 be an alarming increase Of typhoid
fever and other fatal diseases in Wash
ington. permit roe through the columns
OF your paper 70 say that l believe it
would be a very good idea II all Of the
physicians in the si.ss Of Washington
would get together and fDim a "physi-
clans council. where all Of the doctors
could meet and present their views on
how best 20 cope with the diseases which
are causing SO many deaths in this 6sauti-
ful city
think such a move-that OF estab-
fishing a physicians council'-would be
encouraged by DR.. Woodward. Of the
health Office department who is doing all
that he can to stamp out these diseases.
Such council would prove TO be OF
great value to each practicing physician.
The unsuccessful physician may learn
here from the successful one what medi-
cine TO give in treating such cases. In
this way many lives OF good citizens may
be spared J. @. CUNNINGHAM

DELAYS of the Law.

Editor The Washington Herald;
The laws delay, which Hamlet men
tons in his long catalogue Of the burdens
and ills OF human life, has received more
than one startling exemplihcation during
the last few years. There are numerous
Instances Of justice postponed and in
justice done.
The delays OF the law have now become
the subject Of mirth and aphorism. The
civil suit has nothing in it to induce
haste. hut everything to recommend de-
lay. II a large sum Is involved. post
ponement and procrastination for triviol
reasons. or no reason az all, regardless
Of the interests or desires Of the llti-
giants. is the usual procedure.
In truth. the administration Of law in
civil cases has reached a point where il
is only necessary to have money enough
10 protract a suit indefinitely. for. with
the exceptions and demurrers. objections
and appeals, and interminable argu-
ments, there is no reason why a case
should not De protracted 10 the crack Of
doom.
II the delays Of the law in civil cases
are burdensome and mischievOus. they
are doubly so in criminal cases. These
delays are sought in the interest and for
the advantage OF the criminal, regardless
Of the peace and dignity of society. The
theory Of procrastination is based on
the idea that the longer the period Of
time intervening between the criminal
act and the legal inquiry the better the
prospect OF escape for the criminal In
this respect grave injustice has been
done 10 society by the courts estab-
lished for its protection in their failure
to punish promptly and severely the
perpetrators of crime. In primitive so
ciety crime was swiftly punished A
commission of citizens took charge of
the case and brought il to a speedy and
generally satisfactory conclusion. But
at the present time there is little incli-
! nation for any public duty. and the ad-
minisration Of justice is turned over 10
special classes that have made a bust
ness of II, and naturally may be ex-
pected to make as good a living out OF

E--,,. -. Es-[-gton Herald:
In the November election the negro IS

economic and the other relating 20 hts
civil and political status as an Amer

terested as a part OF the whole people;
in the latter he is interested as all Of
a part OF the whole people.
Then It is necessary for the negro
voter 10 take into consideration the his
tory Of the Republican party. The Re
publican party from Lincoln 70 Cleveland
aided the negro race in every Instance;
the Republican party from Mckinley 10
Taft. helped the race in no instance.

from from $50 70 1870 viii undoubtedly
