More About the Doggies. We are in receipt of a very interesting letter from the National Headquarters of the Humane Defense League, commenting on our local “dog situation” and enclosing the
following article:
“Rabies 1 Scares As a Fine Art” The late Dr. W. 0. Stillman, distinguished' President of the American Humane Association gave the above title to an editorial written by him and published in the National Humane Review. Dr. Stillman’s title and editorial well describe conditions existing in a number of states today. In
the editorial Dr. Stillman says:
“The editor of this magazine, who has been the active head of an aggressive anti-cruelty society for more than twenty-five years, and for a longer period a practicing physician, has come to the definite conclusion that the rabies scares are mostly humbugs. He has never seen a case of the disease, although closely familiar for over twenty
municipal dog kennel work handling ’ogs.” ; * an also said in a letter to Mrs. Jennie nt of the Hillsboro County Humane
ida: ( ^
■ur letter of March 23, 1922, enclos T
ing a clipping in regard to vaccinating dogs against rabies. I believe that this matter is largely one of humbug. I have been a practicing physician for over f(3rty years and a very busy one. I have traveled in the United States a|dJiave also traveled widely in Europe* and I am familiar with many hospitals. I have never seen a case of hydrophobia
or rabies.”

“I hi
ing Surgeon to Rush Hospital pital, who was undoubtedly the greai
phobia in this country, if not in the world, made a study of hydrophobia for over thirty years. At the request of the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania he made an annual report on hydrophobia, after a thorough investiga-^ : tion of all cases reported in the newspapers and elsewhere, r In an address delivered in-Washington, in 1913, Dr. Dulles'
said: * *.
“I might cite my own experience in the treatment of persons bitten by dogs supposed to be mad, which has furnished not a single case of the developed disease in thirty years,” and he added, “I have probably seen more cases of so-called hydrophobia than any other medical man * * * ” Dr. Dulles also said in this same address that “* * * in France, which is full of Pasteur Inantls of cases with the infection of hydrophobia, while in Great Britain, where there is no Pasteur Institute, the disease does not occur. Another cur- - ious thing is that in Constantinople, where dogs have for centuries run wild in the streets, there, was §0 little hydrophobia that it was long defied ~ thatfit existed there at jail; butt since,^a |lasfeur Jn-

Think This Over A long time ago; farther back than most of our great grand parents could remember, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a beautiful novel of a beautifpl woman called “The Scarier Letter.” With well chosen words he portrayed a woman ol small town fame, who lived a life that circumstances had chosen for her, lived an unclean and unfit life and apparently prospered by the attentions and jewels received from her admirers, j Owing to the carelessness of this woman a child was born. The father of whom was too highly respected by his congregation to have his name tarnished by admitting that he was the father of the child. It seems that circumstances had' given the woman another part to play— a part that might have to be played off stage because of the humiliating and criminally liable publicity that might be given her. She raised the child that nature had given to her. She weakened under the tongue of small town gossip by shielding the minister who preached the gospel of his church— the minister who said that prostitutes were the failing of mankind and that all of them should be punished in such a way “that all men should know them by their Mark.” The woman who had once been admired so sparingly had lost her youth and charm, she had squandered the beauty that had once paid for and all the compensation she had eventually received was a fatherless child and a shame that would brand her soul with the letter “A.” The Scarlet
Letter.
Pitiful as it is, we have such a situation in Muncie today and have had it to battle with for many years. The red light district has established a permanent hotbed for Harlots and Scarlet Letters just because the public has tolerated such an influence. The men that cash their pay checks and donate the money tdrld light which rightfully belongs to their- homes and families contested by the business men, and professionals who slyly contribute to the melting ^ot of prostitution, THESE ARE FACTS and not opinions and have been known by respectable citizens, taxpayers, ministers and societies, by policemen and the Mayor but as long as the short arm of the law spends a portion of their money for the upkeep of these “FAMOUS ILL FAME HOUSES” we can not deny the name that is given to Muncie as being an “OPEN FREE FOR ALL—GOD HELP US—CITY.” Let a respectable gentleman stroll along First street in the evening with his respectable wife, then if they say good thingfe about Muncie we will question their respect, i Muncie merchants- Xydeonie the patronage from out of town and sprend big money to difaw the erowds, their windows are decorated to adorable cojmment, but have the merchants ever considered the competition that “RED fords; do they know that’more window shopping is done in the first block on First street than in the business district? $Vhy not call out the fire department to quench the fl*L|$UNG YOUTH” t|at is burning up the morale oi

“Theffelief in witch-craft once had the support of thehigh«M authority in church, in slate, and m sciences buiahough it can still be found in ignorant , communities, even in {his enlightened country/ it has been largely banished from civilized lands. We may, therefore, hope that in due time the illusions in regard to hydrophobia may disappear and that they shall some day cease to color the teachings of medical men or to fill with horror the minds of the
people.”
The officers of The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have frequently stated, publicly and privately, that while their agehts are constantly bitten by dogs, many of them thought to be mad, they have never had a case of hydrophobia or never seen a case of rabies, and in the General Manager’s Report for 1923 it is stated that during the last thirty years they have handled approximately “six million dogs and cats.”
Go Easy Brother.
A loct'
that had cold snap
or shall me particular wc can have no
■merty owner in removing the snow- ana ice Med on his side walk during the recent fly removed the top surfacing thereon eof. Of course the mere fact that this , laid down by the local construction trust •.ng on the subject. There are some who
openly sugge i that perhaps the gravel had not been sufficiently seasoned and aged. Personally the editor can offer no plausible explanation for this phenomenon. However we will go so far as to suggest that all persons who have had walks put down by the trust and who may have cause to fear that the gravel was prematurely weaned, to either equip themselves with the new type of rubber tipped snow shov&l that is in general use among the natives of the Amazon or still bt’ter fence off the walk for the remainder
of the winter.
Why Not Pete’s Place. It is rumored that a small cigar store in the east end is getting more than its share of police protection. It is said to be carefully guarded day and night by an armed officer of the law. Why not apply this policy all over town? In fact it wouldn’t hurt to station a whole force down at Pete’s for a while.
Go Right To It. The sociology class of the local High School have taken up the study of “crime in Muncie.” Well, maybe they can figure it all out. Some of us older heads have been trying to for several years and haven’t made much progress up to date.
