Ending Alter All

The END of the doggy story.
Yesterday morning Inc otar
carried an article on page TWO
about a missing DOG ana a
found dog. Mrs. B. H. Mar
shall, 1901 Princess street,
phoned The Star to report she
had lost her Manchester pet
and about the same time Mrs.
&. w. White, 1911 Ann street
reported she had found a dog
wearing a Philadelphia tag, on
her porch.
Neither lady knew about the
other until they read the &C
count in The Star. Quickly,
Mrs. White phoned Mrs. Mar
shall and a trip from Princess
street to Ann street soon re-
united the pet and its master.
The missing dog of Mrs. Mar
shall was the found dog Of Mrs.
White.
No n yet has been able to
explain how the dog got the
Philadelphia tag. But that's the
end of the missing dog story.

EQUALITY - A FACT

What is meant by the doctrine of human equoity is
likely to be misunderstood misrepresented Thus, Mr.
Westbrook PegIer in the NEW YORK JOURNAL-AMER-
ICAN for October BIRD, writes, "Off hond can think
of no more hypocriticoI fraud the people Of the I'm
tied Stotes than the sefnficted doctrine of equolity
omono and between mankind. Not person in mil
lion believes in this Even those few who do so believe
ouofy their attitude with elaborate exploratory notes
However, it does not follow that these subscribers
believe in universal equality OF persons. the dirty and the
clean, the Iozy and the diIgent, and so forth"
Essentially synco even mpudent, as this remark is,
we nav disregard the motive which prompted it and
proceed to set the record straight.

In the second poce, human equoliN means that men
