IF Mr.. Fred Koerler has the time and
money to spare to test the validity of
the dog tax in the courts, we feel toler-
ably certain he can knock it out. AS
taxation, it is distinctly unconstitutional
AS a police measure it is more than
questionable since it cannot be claimed
that it serves to regulate the keeping of
dogs in any way, not being even neces-
sary to cover the expense of registering
them and there being no pretense Of in
spection or control.

In an address recently delivered before
the National Conference of Charities and
Correction, Professor Byron C. Matthews
Of the Newark High School has dragged
out into the public sight again the mon
strous idea that civilization calls for
some direct interference In the marriages
of men and women. His immediate aim
is to prevent the birth of dependent chill
nren. and to realize this he is apparently
willing to subvert personal liberty, de-
humanize the race, and convert the most
sacred of all relations into a sort of
stock farm proceeding.
It is not surprising to see that, Incl
Mentally, Professor Matthews falls into
as many falIacies and plumbers as he ut
tiers sentences. In fact, he appears to
be a man intoxicated with the glitter of
his own words. Thus, when he says
It is a rational sociological principle
that In any high and general develop
ment of society individual liberty must
end where general welfare begins.
He is simply unchristian and inhuman.
He is a degenerate in his conception of
humanity, lapsipg back into the exploded
and discarded and atrocious heresy Of
Lycurgus, the Spartan. The Individual
IS the important thing in the eye Of
God and of enlightened humanity, and
the aim of wise legislation is to secure

Ex-Mayor Wanser's appointment as
M will give sincere satisfaction
to ii hundred and ninety-nine out OF
every thousand residents of this city
General Wanser is personally popular,
and his record of public service is n OF
unbroken efficiency. Every one viii have
confidence that he will administer the
Postofice with energy and good judg-
ment. and that the service will be i'm
proved and developed under his manage
ment.
General Wanser's title to the office is
unquestionable. He deserves the support
of his party because he is the n Re
publican oficehoider within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant Who has done it
honor and brought it credit in the pub
lie estimation. Any clamor that may
have been raised against him was of a
trifing and personal character. The pub
lie had no sympathy with it.
AS for Democrats, they are more than
pleased at the nomination. They know
that Mr.. Jordan's successor must be a
Republican and it is a pleasure to see
a good man chosen when it might so
easily have been a a one.
We wish General Wanser the same
prosperity and success in the next four
years that he enjoyed during his term as
Mayor.

such q successful drama been presented
and too much credit cannot be given the
people for the excellent way In which the
event terminated. The member had no
expert to coach them in their reharsals
and therefore all the more credit Is due
them. Formerly Father Reilly had charge
of the work Of presenting these plays,
