4 Word to Our Town Fathers.

We believe we have Board OF
Towh Commissioners who wish to
inves' the peoples money and to
pass ordinances to the best inter-
ests OF all the people. To that end
they recently passed u rigid dog
ordinance, and rumor has it that it
is not to be enforced. Why pass
an ordinance when you know it is
right, unless you intend to enforce
it? Why let a delegation of good,
honorable citizens change a good
resolution, when you know it is
best for them, and that their wishes
are purely selfish?
You pass the ordinance, the dele
cation makes protest; those who are
with you stand back, say nothing,
and leave you with the impression
that the people do not want the or
dinance enforced. Not so-more
than half of Cambridge would like
to sign a petition to enforce it.
A dog is a menace to every liv-
ing thing on the sod. and when
mad, is fatal thing, and has no
more right to free and unrestrained
use of our public streets than a
horse, cow or chickens, which are
restrained, and rightfully so. too.
We are not allowed to pasture
even a harmless chicken on the
streets, even with a block and chain
to the poor little thing. Why a
dog? We pay taxes on dogs, hor-
ses, cows, chickens and other
species of property, subject to re-
strictions. We have a right to
keep a raving lion, If we keep him
confined and pay taxes on him.
Could we give him street freedom?
Why is dog thing of preference,
partiality and idolism? Idolatry in
this country is called heathenism.
yet we are not heather.
We think too much of ourselves,
our neighbors, and our dog wor-
shippers, to allow this ordinance to
go to naught, without word of
protest, and we do believe that the
free and unrestrained dog is as
much a menace to the public as a
saloon on our corner, selling whis-
key by paying a high license and
taxes, and by restricting minors, ha-
bitual drunkards, ETC., under heavy
penalties.
Give the people what they need
even under some protests; you are
the guardians of the people Of the
town.
Dare to do right.
Fair Play.
