An Orthodox Refutation OF the Anti-Swat
Eeresy.

The New York Times has just INDUCED in
what is perhaps the most barefaced contradic-
tion Of public opinion which has been witnessed
in many years The Times admits that the
doctrine it breaches is heresS. Yet 1t says
Don't swat the fly" In support of this thesis
our no longer esteemed contemporary urges
two reasons-first. that the effect of swatting Is
to develop a tendency TO torment dumb animals
which is latent in children and which should
be repressed In answer to this We beg TO
reply-nonsense The second reason, which fs
also the real one denies the utility of swatting
fies for the purpose OF destroying them 1t Is
a case of prevention being better than cure. To
kill the adult fly is & waste OF time, the llfnes
maintains. The only way to destroy him IS 10
prevent his breeding. The vast majority OF
dies FIRST see daylight in stables where horses
are kept. BY mixing various chemical TertiH-
zers-happy, poisons are not necessary-Wlth

Carefully adjusted will also keep them
away from their woudbe breeding grounds
This Is all very well so far as the mere eX-
termination of flies is concerned No DOUBT
More aies are killed eff hy means Of Destroy

body can swat the fly. And SO long as every
body does swat. no one can Forget that he Is
