The citizens of Huron have been
provoked beyond endurance by dogs
running at large. Three hundred citi-
zens have signed a petition TO the
CITY counsel asking the enactment of
an ordinance preventing the dogs

owners the idea seems to prevail quite
extensively that the payment of "a dog
l|icence gives the dog the privilege of
the town. This is a mistake. The
payment of a license carries with it
only the privilege of life for the dog,
and does not carry with it the ''pur-
suit of happiness according to the
animals inclination. The payment
of a nuisance tax ought to car
ry with it greater privileges that are
guaranteed to our peaceful and law
