The Indictment brought against the

vey may strike many persons as rain
ar too sweeping. According to these
experts the cat Is neither harmless
nor necessary, but q nuisance ana

1t destroys the songbirds, and let's the
rats and mice alone. 1t ID carrier
of disease, since even when 1t has
comfortable home it will go abroad
to mingle with the pariahs Of its kind.
Il cares nothing for its owner and
ia ungrateful for the attention 1t
receives. All this is, In a sense,
twice told tale, familiar In the mouths
OF the cats enemies But when the
government tells 1t the attention OF
the most skeptical must be arrested.
There Is nothing the various depart
ments and bureaus at Washington do
not know. Yet the cat will retain
some friends in spite of this scath-
ing accusation. It is perfectly true,
Of course, that the cat is the great
est foe the birds have. 1t Is also true
that the pampered domestic pet does
not much concern itself with vermins
It Is also true that disease may easily
be transmitted by the cats fur. But
the determination Of the cat seems to
me rather heavy penalty to impose
for its sins against society. There Ia
reason to believe that man is in par
responsible for these.
