Now seeing that we are liable to
make our esteemed contemporary say
something which will hurt its own
feelings II not ours we shall offer
no further objections to its position
as to whether the people or the politi-
clans should run the Republican party
of the State. We will venture to add,
however, that. notwithstanding the
great weight and influence of the
State Journal, the politicians will be
in evidence, as they always have been,
for the very simple reason that the
people will permit them to be, be-
lieving that the latter will be as in.
different politically. in the future as
they have been in the past.

Keep Women Out.

In most Of the dog hospitals In New
York there is q rule against admitting
women to the wards. No small part or
the science Of doctoring dogs lies In
keeping them cheerful away from home.
The sight Of Q woman seems to make
them think Of home and the hreside;
they get excited when q skirt blows In
sight, and correspondingly depressed
when it disappears. So no dog doctor
who understands dog psychology lets
his patients see q woman II he can
