plea for tie Dog.

From the indianapolis News.
There are cases Of hydrophohia. Expert
enced dog doctors can detect them Their
symptoms are well known. But they are
not frequent. compared with the popular
notion. and a great deal Of needless suf-
fering would be avoided if the idea could
be inculcated that the danger from case
Of hVirOphobia is so rare as almost 10 be
negligible and that the wise thing 10 do
with a dog supposedly afflicted with the
maladv is to shut him up for observation
and care There would be an end Of un-
certainty and the avoidance Of great and

Nothing Renctionnry About Knox.

The truth Of the statement that the
President is not bound up with any can
didate and that Senator Knox would be-
altogether acceptable 70 him is now real
lied. When the Press said so it spok,
by the book. The declaration has since
received public confirmation. In the very
nature Of the case it could not be other
wise. Senator Knox has associated him
self with the Presidents policies by de
fining the principles on which they rest
and the construction through which they
operate. He could not be a reaction
ary' without denying himself. There is no
man in the field whose chart has been SO

Possibilities in Disarmament.

From the Pittsb1uE Dispatch
We do not know Of any one who has
proposed that the powers in favor Of dis
armament shall use force 20 make others
disarm. Such proposition is beyond the
logic of the case. But it is entirely within
the theory that if a number Of powers
agreed between themselves 20 limit their
military and naval expenditures and TO
arbitrate all differences a legitimate fea-
ture of such a treaty would be their mu-
tual union to protect each other against
aggression from powers that refused TO
