Shooting Dogs

, Editor Hustler:-Are not the town
authorities exceeding the law in saying
that no dog shall be allowed to run at
large in the town of Hendersonville?
Do they think every dog g"mad" "that runs
and frolics?Are the country folks to be
stopped from bringing their dogs with
them to townP A "mad" dog is very
rare-I doubt If a real "mad'' dog has
ever been found in this county.

THE COUNTRY PRINTER.

Twas the night before New Year, when all
through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
AT his rickety desk the editor sat,
Vainly trying to figure out where he was at
The black office cat looked up with drin.
While the editor figured how much he was in.
He figured and figured and figured about
Yet his figures but footed how much he was
out.
There was Jones, there was Smith there was
Brown, all with bills
Unpaid for long years and as old as the hills
Yet week after week their paper he sends.
For if they don't get.it they're as mad as wet
hens"
And the editor sighed as he closed up his book
And into his face came a far away look.
Which gradually drifted into dark frown
That bode little good for Smith, Jones and
Brown.
He then locked his office and home took his pace,
And a generous light soon o'erspread his face
AS he murmured aloud, Il guess they will pay"
And it's cinch he'll continue I'm the same old
way"

G. A. Tompson this week
handed US a copy of the American
Falls Press which was recently
sent him. The paper is a spec
ial issue containing many articles
descriptive of American Falls
and surrounding country and the
possibilities of that part of Idaho.
The paper is nicely illustrated
with pictures of the new town,
residence and business blocks
lately erected there, and views
of the falls in Snake river, which,
we believe, are destined to be-
come the means of creating a
second Spokane in southeastern
Idaho. American Falls surely
has a great future ahead of it.

JUSTICE OR INJUSTICE WHICH?

In another column we publish
a satirical take-off from an Eng
fish comic paper on the Thaw
trial now in session again in
New York. The piece is good
and only goes to show what may
be expected of our large courts
if they continue in their present
way. AS a general rule the
smaller courts of our country
attend to their business with
proper dispatch but the higher
mills of justice" are getting to
be only parody on what they
are intended for. With plenty of
money to use and attorneys to
hinder and delay justice it is get
ting to be almost an impossibility
to get a case through the large
courts Had the Thaw case, or
any other of equal import, been
tried in almost any foreign court
it would have been settled and
forgotten months ago, but here
it is liable to draw through
another lengthy and expensive
session, perhaps only to be again
laid over for future action. 1t is
all right to give a defendant
every proper chance to prove his
innocense but this thing of
wealth perverting justice is get
ting to be too common and the
citizens of our country will soon
be forced to raise up in their
might and put a stop to such ex-
pensive foolishness.

Bryan, then a member of Con-
gress, introduced a bill to secure
National bank depositors from
loss by providing a fund from
which they could be reimbursed
