It can be done. New York has proved it. Public opinion acting through the Mayor and the Public Service Commission protected the people of New York.

ANGLERS’ DAY BT all true anglers note that this is the birthday of old Izaak L Walton, who loved to go a-fishing better than any man that ever lived, who wrote the best book ever written about it, and who gave up business at fifty to enjoy, through forty years of happy leisure, his favorite sport. Strange that what this seventeenth century British linen-draper found to say about the delights of sitting on a bank and dangling a book in the water should have held its own as the classic model for all subsequent works on the subject! The 8. P. C. A. could not wholly approve even of kindly old Walton, as when, for instance, in discussing the treatment of live bait, he advises the dressing of a frog with hook and wire, needle and thread, “using bim as though you loved him, that Uttle as possible, that he may live the longer, or when he recommends a perch for taking pike as “the longest lived fish on the hook." Byron, in fact, has an ill word for Angling, too, that solitary vice, Whatever Isaak Walton sings or eay: ‘The quaint, old, cruel coxcomd, in his gullet Should have a hook, and « small trout to pull it. The seventeenth century heart, however, had developed few soft feelings for animals, “A line with a hook at one end and a fool at the other,” was Dr. Johnson’s view of fishing, But the majority of each gencration have agreed and will go on agreeing with Charles Lamb that “it might sweeten ® man’s temper at any time to read ‘The Angler’” harm him as Complete + Rush hour reflection in the subway: perees.
