TO THE EDITOR
Treat All Alike.

Mir. Editor: We saw by Wednesdays s Bulletin that the police in Westerly intend making that town strictly moral one We know there is need of it, as there is in all towns, and we wish them success; but we fail to see why they should begin with the weak CT sex.
 Were the morals of all the men in Westerly beyond reproach? And if not, why not arrest them as well and sentence them to the workhouse for a number of years? We think justice should be done. Why should the men be used better than the women? It is no wonder that the women are anxious to cast the ballot if this is the protec- ton they are to receive from their lords and masters
 If some of the men in our towns who are as bad or worse than these women (who have been disposed of) should be confined in some institution, would it not be a protection for our sisters and daughters that they may never fall so low as to become brazen street walkers?
 We believe there are men in Vest erly worse than these women. and they have voice in making the laws. Let us wait and see what is done with them while the town is being cleansed.

Danger of Pernicious Literature.

Scarcely a boy is safe from the
influence of harmful and pernicious
literature" That is the statement
of Franklin K Matthews, Chief
Scout Book Worm Of the Boy Scouts
of America, who Is developing a
plan for the culture of boys by the
books they like best. He says: Il
have been perfectly amazed to find
what the true situation is as re-
CARDS what boys are really reading
and the forces that are being used
by private publishing companies to
promote the sale of their vicious
and mediocre books.
Il am free to say that under cir
cumstances as have found them
out in the last few weeks, there is
scarcely a boy who is sale from the
influence of harmful and pernicious
literature. In one of the very best
preparatory schools in the country
| found these books being circulated
almost without let or hindrance,
and it was recently brought to my
attention that one of the very best
UNCONVENTIONAL publishing houses
is an agent for their distribution.
All these facts add several elements
to the problem calling for most az
gressive action on our part"

Had the Answer Pat.

For more than week a school
teacher has been giving lessons on
the dog, and so, when the inspector
came down and chose that very
subject there seemed every pros
pect of the class distinguishing
itself.
Things were progressing quite
satisfactorily and the teacher was
congratulating himself on the
trouble he had taken, when alasl a
question was asked which made
him tremble for the reputation of
his scholars. why does a dog
hang his tongue out of his MOUTH"
asked the inspector. Yes, my
boy?" he SAID to a bright looking
lad who held up his hand while
the light of genius was in his eye.

bright boy.-EX.

A Years Railroad Casualties.

During the year ended June 80,
1912, on the steam roads in the
United States 10,585 persons were
killed and 169,538 were injured
an increase over the previous year
and a number somewhat in excess
of the average. That even slight
increase comes with improvement
in conditions of equipment and
operation is indeed discourasing,
yet not all of the casualties by any
means were connected with the Or
binary conduct of TRANSPORTATION
and the year showed decrease of
thirty eight from 1911 in the mum.
Der of passengers killed.
Of the total casualties 400 rail-
way employees we're killed and
92363 injured in so,called indus
trial accidents" which include all
not connected with the movement
of locomotives or cars on rails, such
in fact as would be common to any
industry. The employers killed on
duty numbered 1920 and the in
jured 1920, while the casualties of
employees not on duty agsregat-
ed 315 killed and $50 injured.
Passengers to the number of 139
were killed in train accidents and
1891 were likewise injured, while
other causes were responsible for
179 killed and $685. injured. Tres
passers to the number of 5434 were

and 56S7 were injured. ISL of

The Day Of Ii e
Dawn

Lad and lassie brown as berries,
Romping gayly amid the clover,
Lips as red as the juice of cherries
5 With childish laughter ripping
over;
Bright eyes telling of guileless
pleasure,
Feet as light as a wind-blown
feather
Keeping time to a merry measure.
Sharing the dawn of life together.
Man and maiden with ample graces
Arm in arm through the garden
strollin6,
Love is tinting their blushing faces
Wave of joy from each bosom
rolling
Hand seeks hand with a tender
meaning,
Be it sunny or cloudy weather
These in the fields of bliss are
cleaning,
Sharing the noon of life together.
Evening
Aged ones in the shadows waiting
Lovers still though the strife is
over;
Never a joy of youth berating,
Signing not for the birds and
clover.
Looking now to the hand supernal,
Faith is theirs with no question
whether
Death shall open the gates eternal
Sharing the eve of life together.

Diseases in Animals.

Public Health as applied to sani-
tary conditions under which people
live has been frequently brought to
the attention of the people. Up to
this time very little has been said
regarding the sanitary conditions in
which domestic animals should live
Many of the diseases which serious
ly effect the human being are kept
alive by domestic animals and are
transmitted from them to man. 1t
is natural, then, that these diseases
can not be prevented in man I'M
less they are prevented in the do
nestle animals that bring them to
man. Because of this fact some of
our common diseases are becoming
known as rural diseases. IF more
attention were paid to our domestic
animals, the animals themselves
would fare better, it would be more
economical, and some reduction in
human diseases would be brought
about.
The disease that may affect both
man and domestic animals are in
fantile paralysis, which affects es-.
pecially the young animals, such as

chickens. kittens, colts, ETC.; hydro
phobia, which most commonly af-
fects dogs, and at intervals, horses,
cattle, hogs. cats, etc; tuberculosis
which affects, especially cattle;
CHAMBERS. which affects horses
especially; actinomyces, which af-
fects cattle most commonly; anthrax
which effects most commonly cat
tie, but occasionally all cloven-
hoofed animals; lock.jaw, the germ
of which is in many cases a normal
inhabitant of the int estinal tract of
cattle and other domestic animals;
and parasitic diseases affecting cat
tie and hogs which may also be
transferred to man.

George W. Perkins, the man who
financed the progressive campaign
