streets, the town is without policeman. I'm
less the dogs can police it, crime may stalk OPEN
ly on stills. Literally, the police of Kittanning,
will not hurt dog.
Examine, however, the strange manner IN
which this tenderheartedness manifests itself in
different localities. The police Of Kittanning
will not work if they must shed the blood OF
happy CANNES; in Columbus they resign rather
than save the breaking of motormen's heads Both
instances are sentimental and temperamental.
They come from the same human phenomenon
that the human being will not fulfill his con-
tract when it runs counter to his heart In Co
lumbus they demand the blood of the motormen
in Kittanning they faint at the thought OF 1t IN
a dog. Too much ought not to be expected OF the
police.
