SurIy Mot0rren

Have been studying for som"
time the problem of discourteSy
which seems to characterize our
local transit system. And have
come to the conclusion that it
is something you might know
how and where to- start to get
some improvement.
Naturally, it seems to me, the
street car and bus bosses will
discount any complaint unless
some poor devil working for his
bread and butter is named in
the report.
Aside from being of the opin-
ion that the only possible result
of such an act would be getting
some poor fellow called on the
carpet, perhaps discharged, it
strikes me that the curt, even
Surly attitude of these repre-
sentatives of a public service
must be due to something be-
sides personal tendencies.
The incidents I have either
seen or have heard of from re-
liable persons are too general
to be anything short of an indi-
cation of the attitude of the
"higher-ups" in the system.
I'm not asking or expecting
that the street car motormen
or conductors are going to be
Lord Chesterfields. But I do
believe that passengers who ask
for information are entitled to
civil answers.
I also believe that the informa-
ton that they get from these
men regarding transfer points,
routes to take to Teach desired
destinations, ETC., should be
accurate.
It seems to me that the course
of training given men who are
to hold these jobs should in
clude instructions in these de-
tails as well as the manual or
mechanical operation Of the
vehicles.

Capitalists have a right to pro
tect their interests. Also, labor
has the same right.
Labor can never control that
which they don't own. One must
own property before he can con-
troll it. Be it money, land or in
dustry. The present Democratic
Administration is likewise help
less as it is trying to control that
which the Government does not
own. Legislation in most cases
is useless.
The ineffectiveness of some of
the Administrations proposals
rests right on the shoulders Of
labor. The voters that put F.
D. r. in the White House have
deserted the cause for which
they put him in office.
If labor took up the fight and
made effective the legislation
which the Supreme Court de-
clared unconstitutional we. the
wealth creating laboring people,
would get somewhere in a hurry.
A living wage if put into ef-
feet today, would not be living
wage a month from now. The
reason is this: There is no way
of maintaining such a living
wage. This must be accom-
plished first.
So, boil it all down the Gov
eminent and labor are wasting
time trying to control that which
neither own.
Thanks to the Constitution of
these United States. The in
strument that labor needs is
only to use their rights as well
as the capitalists. Strikes and
calling for the assistance of
Government is useless.

am sure a truck driver who
had seen a number of wounded
dogs lying helpless by the road
told the truth. Also, reports
about the dumping in the woods
of dogs after they had been shot
at by passing police were GER
tainly true.
No one knows how many such
dogs are still alive; in any case,
such practices can be conducive
only to mcTease in disease and
misery and growth in cruelty
and crime.
Veterinarians whose cruel
trade is greatly increased by
observation" of desperate
homesick dogs that were cruelty
driven from homes by cowardly
owners fearing rabies, may be
too prejudiced to get a glimpse
of the fertility and increased
danger from the Quarantine"
But if the people had more Of
the rare quality called common
sense, such guarantees could
not take place.
I have read various descrip-
tions of the mysterious disease,
written by So-called authorities.
A thoughtful reader of such
descriptions that do not agree
in detail must draw the con-
clusion that the disease is a
fabrication of human hysteria
and of the Pasteur treatment.
A thoughtless, nervous reader
is apt to become suspicious Of
any movement made by dog,
and to show more of madness
than any dog. Some then call
for veterinarians, whose cruel
trade is thus increased; others
shoot and are apt to leave
their victims half dead only; I
know of such cases.
And it is a wonder that there
is not more biting done by the
outraged dogs. If justice were
done humans, where would they
be?
Mrs. H. L. Albin, in q recent
article on dog cruelties, advises
that the Washington Humane
Society be called. However,
when the cruelty is legalized,
such societies do not Interfere,
but commonly acquiesce. Thus
in a recent article about rabies
it was said that the Animal
Rescue League knows exactly
what to do in such cases."
When they encourage the rabies
hysteria and encourage inocula-
lions, they encourage cruelty.
The horrible, cruel PaSteur
treatment is largely responsible
for the absurd rabies scare. The
use of vaccines and serums, OBJ
tanned through cruelty, is objec-
tionable alike for hygienic and
moral reasons. Madness among
dogs as we'll as among humans
would be abolished if the simple
remedy of kindness were applied.

Pioneers in Smoking

The Encyclopedia Britannica says
that the introduction of the tobacco
pipe to Europe is generally ascribed
to Ralph Lane, first governor of
Virginia; in 1886 he brought an In
dian pipe to Sir Walter Raleigh and
taught that courtier how to use it.
Another authority, 1.-The Social His
tory of Smoking" says that the
honor of having first smoked a pipe
of tobacco in England is divided
among several claimants, Captain
William Middleton, Captain Price
and Captain Koet having smoked
together in London. The same au-
thor states that pipes were smoked
in England before 1884, the plant
having been introduced into Europe
about 1860 and been under cultiva-
ton in England by 1870. Raleigh
first brought the practice of smok-
ing into common use and it is prob
able that he was initiated in the art
by Thomas Harriet, whom he had
sent out to Virginia for the specific
purpose of inquiring into and re-
porting on the natural productions,
including of course tobacco.
