A Back-Action Slander

Among the various campaign javelins
hurled at Van Wyck during the heated
canvass just closed was the charge that
''seven years ago Van Wyck went to a
French masquerade ball and drank
champagne" Considering the amount
of Parkhurstism and purity. Rainesism
and reform, enforced morality and COM
pulsory teetotalism under which New
York has groaned for the last two or
three years, we consider the dissemina-
tion of this damning charge against Van
Wyck by Low as injudicious. 1t was a
case of the engineer hoist with his own
petard. 1t must have brought to Van
Wyck at least sc, 900 votes.-Argonaut.

De Groot Still Disgruntled

Doctor De Groot has been discharged
by justice, Owens. 1t will be remembered
that the doctor was charged with as
saulting local newspaperman. Most
men would feel gratified at receiving n
discharge, but De Groot is still moody.
He had up $50 cash bail for six weeks
and he argues that as business propo-
sition the court should pay him $3.50 for
the use of that fifty for six weeks. De
Groot's claim has merit in it, according
to modern business methods.-Capital.

DOGS OF WAR

A new feature, both in military re-
sources and tactics, is the Introduction
of trained dogs as effective agents of
attack in future wars. The bicycle has
become an acknowledged arm of mill
tary service in Europe, and, as each ma
chine carries a soldier fully armed and
equipped for fighting, it matters little
after the wheelmen reach the objective
point of attack, what becomes of their
vehicles. "The mere overthrow of the
instrument" says Appleton's Popular
Science Monthly. docs not convey any
great advantage, for the man is there.
and possibly still standing, armed and
ready to fight
So the military chiefs of the tripartite
alliance of Germany, Austria and Italy
evolved from their ponderous brains the
novel idea of employing dogs trained
to attack and place hors de combat the
bicyclists of the enemy. A thousand
of these dogs-the large Danish dog has
been selected as the animal most fit
are now under training in the highly
civilized and Christian city of Berlin
for this sort of warfare. They are
taught, we are advised, to distinguish
the uniform of their friends-the Ger-
man, Austrian and Italian SOL
diers-from those of the enemy
the French and Russian-"and
attack the latter the legs of the
sham hostile soldiers being we'll pro-
tected by stout buskins" All the
armies are to have cycle troops. and
all will have their trained war dogs, 50
that when "the combat deepens," as
French newspaper humorously says,
land the dogs get mixed with the cy-
clists they will leave the soldiers and
go to fighting one another"
Henceforth the line of the poet:
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war;"
Will cease to be mere trope or figura-
tive expression and may we'll be merged
into a military command as realistic as
that of Charge bayonets"
But the pity of it is that this employ
ment of ferocious dogs, trained, with

"When the Goose Hangs High"

What a blssful retrospection when we
gaze upon the past,
With its days of doubts and darkness and
it's nights with gloom o'ercast.
Till the mornings sun in glory flashed In

With the glad and joyous story-that the
goose was hanging high!
Now the "hay-seeds" are a-smiling cause
the harvesting is done,
And the wheat Is in the market and the
booming has begun:
While it's dollars against doughnuts that
the gladd'ning price will fly
Past all record-breaking standards, for the
