Not His Property Sandwich.

An urchin who occasionally yentured
behind the scenes of theater on the
lower east side of New York during re-
hearsals was one day observed by one
of the actors sitting in corner, lovingly
cycling a huge sandwich which he held in
his grimy hands. He regarded it for a
few moments. and then. cautiously lift
ing the top layer, extracted a piece of
pickle and ate il; then he closed it down
again very carefully and accurately
made all as before A few moments
later he repeated the performance, TAX
ing out another piece of pickle and a
small fragment of meat, and again care
fully restoring the sandwich TO its orig
inal form. After another short interval
he took out more pickle and more meat,
so that now there was very little of the
original middle layer left, and again he
closed it up carefully.
What are YOU doing that for. Tom
my" the actor asked That's no way
to eat a sandwich Why don't you eat
it all if you want it, and not pick at it
like thatY'
Tommy lifted scornful eye TO the
actors uncomprehending face and NUT
tered laconically;

No DEMOCRATIC Iss1Jp 1N N

It IS significant fact that the gem
 tlemen who profess to find a great
 Democratic issue in Elihu Roora
 speech at the dinner of the Pennsyla
 vania Society are for the most nart either Wall Street financiers, corpora-
 tion lawyers or anti Roosevelt Repub- licans.
 Thomas F. Ryan, who is a resident or Virginia, says "Mr. Root has fyr- nished us with an admirable issue,. But the Democratic Senators from
 Virginia, the Democratic Congress- men, the Democratic Governor and the Democratic voters manage to restrain their enthusiasm over this "admir- able issue"
 Senator Foraker who is antagon. lstic to the President, does not s'syrn. pathize," with what Mir. Root said. but Senator Forakers Democratic col leagues are unable to find in the sec- retary's speech the beginning of the end of Republican Administration. MT. Morgan, MT. Baer, MT. Peabody. Mir. Underwood and other captains of in- dustry who were at the dinner made 1t plain that they did not approve MT. Roots remarks; but no vehement pro- test has gone up from the rank and file of the Democratic Party. If MT. Root created a Democratic issue it k one that Democrats themselves seem unable to recognize unless they han pen to share the extreme conserva- tive distrust of MT. Roosevelts poli- cies.
 With due respect to all these opu- lent defenders, of the faith of the fa- thers, the World advises them not to stake too much confidence on the outcome of a state rights campaign in 1908. While nobody regrets the ten deney toward centralization more than this newspaper, there is no disputing MT. Root when he says:
 "The true and only way to preserve State authority is to be found in the awakened conscience of the States. their broadened views and higher of responsibility to the gen- eral public, in effective legislation bv he States in conformity to the gen. aral moral sense of the country and n the vigorous exercise for the gen. 9ral public good of the State author- ty which is to be preserved
 The very men who are now clamor- ng most stridently against further of the authority of the State Governments represent the class hat is entirely responsible for tho resent extension of the Federal pow ds.-New York World.

MARvELs OF THE CENTURY.

In this age of progress and enlight- ehment one is almost prepared to ex- pect anything which in former times would have been incredible and as- founding, Discoveries and inventions follow one another in rapid succession.
 We are told that in a short time we snail be able to take trips by aerial nav lgation with perfect safety and comfort. Well that may be true but some of us would prefer to have the other fellows glide through space hundreds of feet above terrafrma. Walking and auto mobiling are good enough for us. After a visit to the A. B. Clinton Co. at 3S Center street, where we were soothed and comfocted by the wonderful vocal and Instrumental music to which we listened for good hour, we feel that man is being of almost limitless pow CTS. The Edison phonograph and the Victor Talking Machine are the prod ucta of mans skill.
 They talk for you-they play the sweetest music for you and they sing for you. Now all of this is wonderful. If there were only one of those mar vicious musical machines in existence, and it could not be duplicated, the amount which it would bring in the market would be fabulous one. But all may have them at their homes. And you, or a little child for that matter, can operate them, they are so easy to handle, Everybody is invited to visit at SS Center street, Call at any time There are pleasant and cosey rooms in which You may sit and listen to the sweet strains of music to your hearts content The A B. Clinton company is daily sending to purchasers that marvel of all pianos, the famous Kra- kuer. It has most truthfully been styl- ed the soul of music" Headquarters for the Krakauer and other musical in- 1 struments are at 37 Church street.

CRUSADE UPON DOCS.
STRAY CANNES WILL BE GATH.
 FRED IN BY DOG CATCHERS.

Men and Wagon in Every City Ward
 Commissioner Thompson Has Sug-
 gested This Method of Kidding the
 City of Stray DOgs-Veterinary Hos-
 pitals to be Used as Depot.
 For some time Police Commissioner s. s. Thompson has advanced cru sade against the tramp dogs of the city with the idea of killing all owner less dogs that run at large endangering lives and property,
 MT. Thompson, during walk from his home, down York street to George street, counted five dogs without mug zles, and apparently without owners or homes.
 Other members Of the police board, and the local veterinarians have count ed anywhere from five to ten dogs with in the space of few blocks, and in the lower side of the city there are hundreds of ownerless dogs that live in boxes, fence corners and deserted build ings, getting food from scrap heaps and garbage barrels.
 Next week wagons will be sent into every ward of the city, in charge or re- liable men, who will work under police direction These men will gather in all unmuzzled dogs, and dogs not licensed and collared according to law. When the drag net has cleaned the streets the animals will be taken to the various veterinarians about the city, and turn ed over to these men to be disposed of. |
 For the down town district Dr. Kel- ly's hospital will be the depot and for the uptown Dr Atwood's place, on Whalley avenue The dogs will be held at these depots for a reasonable time, during which owners of the animals may claim their property. All dogs not claimed will be killed by orders of the police
 Dogs muzzled, or held in leash, ac- cording to the law will not be taken.
 A man claiming a dog must give his name and address, if it is found he has not licensed his dog according to law, he will be brought before the city court on a warrant and if found guilty will be fined the legal penalty.
 The measure will rid the city of stray dogs, force dog owned to license their pets according to law, and greatly les- sen the danger from rabbies.
