Tho DOG In Political

Though the politician has no hesitation
in attac king powerful corporations; though
ho II valorous enough in assaults upon the
money kings and would not hesitate to
lead forlorn hope up the stoepc.t hill
upon which o public Office was left as Q
prize, he Is afraid to do anything against
tho dog.
Even the people whose sheep are killed.
whose hsn-nests are despoiled by hungry
ours. seem afraid to venture any remarks
IN favor Of laws which will require dogs
either to be taxed or muzzled. They seem
content to bear the ills they have rather
than raise howl from thousands Of dog
owners. The professional politician and
the farmer politician both stand aghast
when urged to take positive stcps for the
cure Of an evil which oil admit Is wide-
spread. Statistics are produced showing
how many millions Of dollars worth OF
sheep could be- raised annually in the grass
growing regions Of Virgins If the dogs
could be gotten rid of. but they make no
impression upon the men seeking legisla-
tive honors. for well these know what q
power the dog exercises OF the ballot-box.
The truth is.that, except in few coun-
ties.ithe voters prefer the dog to sheep.
Called upon TO decide which TO give up,
they generally say: "Well, we'll keep the
untaxed dog"
No general State policy on this subject
will be adopted In Virginia in this genera
ton. The best that can DO done as public
sentiment advances Is for the counties to
get special legislation. This several have
done and with good results. Perhaps
gradually tho dog will grow into compare
tive dtsfavor and the country people will
sQree that he shall be roundly taxed. or
better still, not allowed TO leave bis kennel
without muzzle on. When that time
comes we shall see hocks upon thousand
hills aud feeces producing fortunes. Mean
time 1t is worth remarkine that the politi-
tcian OF the present IL g discreet Is the
politician of the past.
