Lack of Skilled Labor.

curious phase of the present activ- ity in all branches of industrial enter prise is the scarcity of skilled labor and the resulting shifts to which man. ufacturers are sometimes put to retain the services of their employees and to obtain the additional help needed. Some large industrial centers are actually bidding against each other and shops are losing men to neighborlng estab lishments which are willing to offer more attractive terms. Hence the workers are reaping the benefits of this healthy state of the labor market.

Without Any Kind of Warrant.

New York Times.
 The We See to You" Society, which undertakes to regulate what may be called the domestic affairs of the army. without reference to the opinions of those who know what they are talking about, seems to take the ground that an enlisted man is a convict. that he has, by enlisting, forfeited all the per- sonaI liberties of a citizen at large. and that they are. therefore, entitled to take control of him and to regulate his personal habits. There Is no war rant of law or reason for this preten- Sion.

Newspapers as Text-Books.


 Professor James of the Northwestern University does well to tell the stu dents to read the newspapers and so keep abreast with history as 1t is in the process of making from day to day. Reciprocally the newspapers may properly take care to make a truthful record. so that students may not be misinformed. Reciprocally, too. they may with advantage learn home things about the correct use of the English language from the professors. Some of them have wandered far from the well of English, pure and undecided, and are going farther and farther as- tray. History should be written in English that is grammatical is nothing more.

Cecil County Dog Tax.

The new law requiring con-
stables in Cecil county to collect
dog taxes, instead of the county
treasurer, as formerly, is working
far better than the originators Of
the law even anticipated. While
it has been estimated for years that
there were probably between 5000
and 5000 dogs in the county, there
was seldom over 5000 or $500
collected from that source, although
the law required a tax of 81 per
head to be- paid. The past year
there was over 1,400 collected in
taxes from this source, and this
year the amount is expected to be
still greater. The amount collect
ed goes into the sheep fund, from
which the owner of sheep are repaid
for sheep killed by dogs. Up to
the past year that fund has been
insufficient to pay the claims-in
fact there we're up to the past year
claims in the county commissioners
Office that had been on file for Eve
years. The taxes collected during
the past year not only paid all Of
last years sheep claims but paid
all back claims and there is now a
balance of about 5000 of the fund
on hand. Not only has this new
law been a benefit financially, but
it has had q better and far reach.
ing effect. 1t has resulted in less
sheep being killed by dogs, as the
county constables killed many of
the worthless ours which had NO
owners and which, in many cases,
were the dogs that did the most
damage among. sheep in the county.
In speaking about the matter,
County Commissioner William B.
Davis, of Cecifton. said: "The law
has been beneficial not only because
the county gets more revenue but
it has resulted in many of the
sheep.killing dogs being extermin.
ated. There has not been a sheep
