Legislature and
the Dog Law,

Nearly every Legislature has to
wrestle with the question of a dog
law-and when one is passed it is
given just about the same degree of
respect and observance accorded the
SIX per cent. interest law. If ever
there was needed a law. one which
should be passed and enforced,
whether the people want it or not,
il is a dog law in Tennessee. The
people sometimes need that which
they do not want castor oil and
a dog law. for instance. BUT: you
can step on fellows toes and with
a simple beg pardon" you are for
eiven-but step on The same fellow s
deg and while the dog may let by
cones be byeones." you'd better
keep your eye on the owner. Give
US dog law, one that is good and
strong-one that an expert tax
schedule filler can't get around.

your religion or anything else,

obedience to the same law that keeps
the stars in their places. Each bird

mony 1t is humanity which thrusts
discords, and false and Earring notes

world is still moving safely in its APP

notes of rejoicing that they have found
food for the day, but we lift complain
ing voices because we have not found

moody spirits and jarring tempers
hurt the love on earth and in heaven.
But they hurt our own souls most of
all. for they put US out of tune with
