A BAS THE CAT AND ALSO
 THE LAWYER
Both outlawed According To a Leaf1et From
 Chicago.


 The governors office received two leaflets Tuesday from a Chicago pulp. fishing house that were devoted largely to urging a war upon cats and other vermin, including lawyers as witness the following exclamatory se stence: sCats2D Dogs Po1fcemsh sh-Lacw- yers snd vermin-are all doomed.
 Aud then, to mention a few minor matters, the leaf1et goes on as fol- lows:
 Terminate wars and ennoble the jworld by a permanent federation of nations. presided over by a congress in perpetuaI session. with power over International and interstate matters, and to- regulate trade. commerce, health, conservation, etc., and to sup press attempts at. war one currency one language, equal suffrage, world wide prohibition, municipal and dis triet meeting places, social centers. and saloons for the people. eonven- fent1y located wherever needed, and without intoxicants and dissipation; shelter over night for the destitutes with bread and coffee at low price for cash or credit as the case may re- .qufre; rendering partial assistance to- ward obtaining employment cula- vating thrift and self reliance
 .Penalize religious crime and SUI. perstitutions as well as other crime. and degradation. Tour child has 8 right to live and ought not to die with smallpox. diphtheria, typhoid etc.. because some religious cult disap- proves of quarantine, cleanliness, vac- cinat1on and antitoxin- And .vaunted freedom of the press was never meant ,Ry eur fathers to be shameless free dom but good freedom; the Deity Himself has no freedom to do wrong.
 ssTernfnate legal profession and politics; have all laws made by busi- mess men lnone by laayersl have connxnission form of city, town and district government; no aldermen or < mayors; no uniformed or mounted police, no 1oafing pa'trolnneh. Employ lsrnan. force and workers onlys busy by relays, paving all streets and all alleys Such workers to have small star under lapel and make arrests. fbut with mo lpafingl police there would be fewer arrests to be made; being .no politics there would be no unlaw- lfu1 bills posted on trees, poles, fences, Ietc-, announcing unblushing candf-= dates for of1cey
 But hasten to the cats, as follows, Eiz and to wit
 ssA robin will eat once and a quar-. ter ita, own weight in bugs and worms in forenoon-a horse can't do it in a week=a man can't do 1t in month E-4-a man would have to cat in same lbroportfon a bologna sausage nine Inches in diameter and sixty y-enree feet long every days will you side with < the bird or uemain with cat odors, fleas disease and crimes2 Will you be man, 3 nice woman orr q degrad- ed thing to be despised because of the cat company you keen? Bubonic epIague IS spread by rats, never keep Ecats or rats. no woman can respect berseIf or be respected by others who Fdeacends to the cat level. Never give Fa cat away to degrade some other home, Kill it as you would verInin
 .sAudubon members and others who sshane1essly show specimens of live birds confined and dead birds stuffed, Eposing as friends ofRbirds, deceive no- body, the smallest boy sees through their false virtue. Nobody that loves bird will have one confined or mounted and no government or state worthy the name will have a4collec- Aion of live or dead birds or bird eggs any more than they would so exhibit hive or stuffed babies and senators. Representatives and legislators add delay bills for the termination of bird sptumng and bird coming and taxi- dernists should be no more lawful than clafrvoyants.s z
 But hang a cat anyhow! tsThe bird checks all our insect enemies. stands between us and ruin, charges us no wages boards and clothes itself and sings us a song besides-are we man 1x@to let any cat live to kill that bird Such a coward1y man or woman may
 
 their pictures turned to the wall in the future when it shall be remem- bered that they kept a cat to kill our little bird defenders. Surely the cat Killing hours Of every one will be the happiest hours. "
 And then, evidently this is for those who were brought up in the country
 sCat hairs are in the butter. coffee and Ynilk-cat odors are in the house. attic, cellar and barn and on the hands and clothing of the family no odor more revolting. Keeping cat Is depravity, as the snake charmer 10 her snakes, and as the Indian and monkey to their vern1in-persons who handle cats and are old enough to know right and wrong are always ashamed They try to laugh it of and. jest and joke, but they doe not resnstate themselves into position A person who keeps eat or boards a Bartender or saloon keeper or hang man may laugh of or joke it off but they will be pitied and avoided.
 But without printing further ex- tracts it may be said that the publish nrs offer a reward of 10 cents apiece for the first. 100 cats killed and re- ported.
