IT has been a year since ] attended
a meeting OF the Board of Directors OF

all Informed on the charges which have
been brought against the company in
connection with the operation of pool
rooms in New York"
These are the words OF the genial
Chauncey NJ. Depew. Senator and post
prandial orator; director of corpora
tions innumerable. Such a confession
from a director of a 500, 1000, 900 COM
pany, while not in the nature of a sur
prise to the well-informed. cannot but
set stockholders thinking. What are
the duties Of a director2 Has he no
sense OF responsibility that he absents
himself for "a whole year from the
board meetings? Evidently there are
two classes Of directors, those who di-
rect and those who do not direct. Dunn
my directors are no new development

pREssYrERIANs IN COUNCIL.

The Methodist General Conference is
drawing to q close and today the Cen
eral Assembly OF the Presbyterian
Church North. convenes in Buffalo.
Matters Of great moment are to be con-
sidered, chief Of which is the amalga-
nation Of various branches OF the
church.
The Cumberland Presbyterlans in all
probability will unite with the larger
body. and overtures have been made to
the smaller branches which hold no
views that are fundamentally different
from the greater Organization.
Then the old question which has
asimted the assemblies for years-the
reunion OF the church North with the
church South viii be pressed. The only
obstacle IN the way is tho treatment Of
The negro question. That caused the
division originally. and that yet keeps
them apart. The Cumberland Presby-
terians demand legislation which win
allow separate presbyteries for any
race demanding them. There will be
little difhculty in passing such a reso-
iution. and it may satisfy the Southern
church.

DOGS AND DOG DAYS.

Council has before II question
which is difficult to decide-the ques-
tion Of protecting our citizens against
rabies. Thore is an ordinance provid-
ing that all dogs that are allowed TO
run at large shall be muzzled from
May TO October l.
To an who like dogs, and that in
cludes most OF us. this decree seema
harsh and cruel To see our pets with
their jaws encased In wire and to real
ize what a source Of annoyance II is
during the warm months makes us all
feel like utterlng a vigorous protest.
Yet Council is obliged to consider an
other side Of the matter. A thousand
animals may be harmless, and then
one may suddenly 30 mad and sow the
seeds Of rabies sht andl For oc-
casionally people are hitten by. dogs
that undoubtedly are stricken by this
dreadful disease.
We are told that there is no connec-
tion between warm weather and rab-
les but that It Is a disease that may
manifest itself in winter as well as in
summer Experience seems TO be
against this, however the theory may
be explained. but II it contains even a
partial truth, then 1t shows us that the
problem is not temporary. but Is one
that confronts US the year through.
It would appear then, that the true
solution, drastic as it may be, is to
prevent the running at large Of dogs
IN the city limits at all seasons Of the
year. In order to protect life and
health In cities we have TO give up
many privileges that have always been
enjoyed by those who live In the coun-
try and this may be one OF them This
would doubtless reduce the number of
dogs IN the city. but that result is de-
sirable. Human beings may be held
responsible for their acts. but dogs,
mad or otherwise, are Irresponsible

The Main Chance.

From the Sussex Republican.

cupying thu important position he once

siderod TO be very Necessary to the con-
summation Of the Union Republican plans
he is no longer looked up 20 as the real
leader Of that organization. Whether or
not he Is aware Of IT, he Is ovorshadowed
somewhat by Alice, who Is IN fact the
real leader OF the Union Republicans. and
you hear Alloe's name much oftenor on

so as to more firmly establish himself in
