One of the axioms of the Washtenaw Times is, "Ann Arbor Needs Street Signs." The Times, no doubt, has been pressed by strangers to locate certain streets for them and had to acknowledge his doubts as to their whereabouts. Just the reason why signs are not provided is hard to find, unless it lurks in the thought that strangers, when once within the city limits, will not be able to get out until after the census is taken. - Ypsilantial.

A society for, the prevention of cruelty to animals is what Manchester wants, and we venture to remark that if such an organization existed here our citizens would not be subjected to such sights of cruelty and inhuman treatment of dumb animáis as was witnessed on our streets last Wednesday and Thursday. One horse stood hitched in a shed from about 7 a. m., Wednesday, without food or water, until after 7 p. m., and then had to be driven several miles before reaching home. His owner was in town drunk all day. On Thursday another poor animal stood on the street from 10:30 a. m. until after 8 o'clock in the evening, without care, while its sportive master played cards and drank beer. Vigorous protests were made by several citizens, but before an officer arrived to take care of the animal some one quietly untied the animal and started it for home. Such cruelty on our streets is all too frequent, and we hope that if it is repeated the authorities will take the matter in hand and make an example' of the offenders. - Manchester Enterprise.
