The Stray Dog Nuisance.

After all, the dog is but the tanned
wolf. AS long as you keep him about
you, he remains useful and, in most cases,
harmless. But the moment you allow
him to roam at large, night and day, he
begins to lose his domesticated character,
and he gradually reverts to wolhshness.
1t is the stray dog that kills sheep. If
he can not find sheep to destroy, he will
prey upon geese, ducks, chickens, or any
other fowl or animal that tempts his wolf
ish ferocity. These stray dogs frequently
roam in packs and, at night, are extreme
ly fierce and dangerous. To say nothing
of loss of property, these vagrant dogs
are a serious menace to human life. The
fangs of one of these creatures may COM
municate hydrophobia at any time; and
you rarely Enow of your danger until
you are Bit
A man who owns valuable dog ought
to keep it at home. The man who allows
his dog to roam anywhere and every
where maintains nuisance. He ought
not to blame anybody but himself when
such dog is killed by some neighbor
who feels that he has the right to protect
his premises.
If dogs are to be allowed to roam at
large, they should at least be muzzled
1t ought to be misdemeanor for the
citizen to wilfully permit an unmuzzled
dog to roam the whole neighborhood,

sort as the country will let us make. You
see what we have done and are doing;
if you like the output, don't fire the men
that are on the job"
One of the most comical parts of the
platform is that in which the writer
skates swiftly over the subject of the
panic The Republicans refer to it as
slight temporary disturbance" which
they handled SO deity that it soon passed
away and is now vague "reminiscences
Another humorous feature of the plat
form is the labored effort to state wherein
the Republican Party differs from the
Democratic
This is very funny, indeed.
If a select party of persons were rid
ing at ease in a splendid vehicle, drawn
by two fine horses, and one of the
horses should begin an argument with
the other to prove that he was very
much better horse than his trace-mate,
the people in the carriage might say:
Your dispute is an idle one. We
chose both of you, and your business is
to draw this carriage Talk less and pull
more. We need the full strength of both
Of you-one of you being as necessary as
the other to the progress of the carriage
in which we ride
At Chicago, one of the horses has
talked; at Denver the other will soon
neigh; but to the benefciaries of Special
Privilege the dispute between the horses
is never a matter of much concern, so
long as both of them pull the carriage.

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

Inasmuch as Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt utterly failed in their efforts to Sc
cure the adoption, by the convention, of
the antl-lnjunction plank which had been
agreed on by Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.
Gompers, it is probable that those decis-
ions made by Mr.. Taft when he was a
judge, will hamper him seriously now
that he is candidate before the people
Another matter which Mr. Taft's can
didacy may bring to the front, to the in
jury of the Republican ticket is the rela-
tons of the Republican chiefs to the
Catholic Church.
There is no subject upon which Our
people are more Justly sensitive than up
on that Of political chickering's and deals,
between the heads of religious organiza-
tons and heads Of political parties.
There is much circumstantial evidence
going to prove that the Catholic hier-
archy is steadily strengthening its grip
upon our federal government. During
the last twenty years, great many mil
lions of dollars of the peoples money
have been taken out of the public treas
ury and handed over to the Catholics.
If this isn't a violation of both the
letter and the spirit of our Constitution,
it would be impossible to do anything
that would outrage that fundamental law
lime and again, Congress has voted
away the peoples money to the Catholic
institutions of Washington City. The
manner in which the priests come to
Washington, presenting papers "signed"
by the cross-marks Of rowing Indians,
and rake out millions of dollars from the
treasury, is nothing less than a national
scandal.
The gift Of 100000 to the Catholic
Friars, for their alleged titles to land
in the Philippine Islands, is matter with
which Mr.. Taft was directly connected
and which he may be called upon to ex-
plain. The true story of how the Cath
olic Friars got those titles" would no
doubt make interesting reading.
A more recent appropriation of public
funds to the Catholic Church was the
100000 voted this year. The money was
demanded as damages done to church
property by the United States during the
Philippine war.
We are told that damages to the
amount Of $4,000 was done to property
in New York last week by the target
practice of the big guns of Uncle Sam.
Will Congress vote an appropriation to
cover these damages?
Certainly, not.
Yet why motif Congress did right in
voting the 100000 to the Catholic
Church?

first term. The fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
was called upon, as Vice-President, to
serve out nearly the whole of MCKinley's
second term, does not alter the case.
The sound constitutional view is that the
Vice-President, when called to the Presi-
dency by the death Of the President, takes
the place of the President who died, and
the term served out is that of the de-
ceased Roosevelt's so-ca1led first term
was, i'll law Mr.. McKinley's second term.
1t was not the term Of Mr. Roosevelt at
all.
Consequently, we think the Republicans
not only made huge blunder in consti-
tutional law, but in political strategy as
WE'LL when they failed to nominate Mr..
Roosevelt again.
The substitution Of any Republican,
not OF the LaFollette type, will inevitably
be taken as reaction against the Roose-
welt policies. No matter how often and
how emphatlcally it may be proclaimed
that Mr.. Taft stands for my policies"
1T is impossible to escape the fact that
the powerful enemies Mr. Roosevelt has
made among the corporation magnates
have no dread of Taft
In fact, Mr.. Roosevelts threat, IF they
don't take Taft, they'll get me" had much
to do with Taft's overwhelming majority.
The mere idea of having four years more
of Theodore was what the average cor
poration magnate Just couldn't stand TO
escape that contamination by accepting
Taft was, from the corporation point of
view pettino off 1i0ht
Therefore, we think that Mr. Taft
starts off handicapped by the general i'm
preston that he is satisfactory to Wall
Street and the barons who control the
Trusts
Unless we are greatly mistaken, Mr.
Taft will find this handicap a very serious
matter, indeed, for the American people
will logically distrust any candidate who
is supported by the exploiters of Special
Privilege.
Against Mr. Taft, personally, nothing
whatever can be said. The country at
large agrees that he is a big-minded,
big-hearted courageous, honest and man
ly man. AS a worker and a fighter, his
record is stretched from Panama to the
Philippines, and this record of work and
combat presents the same curious mosaic
of sudden fights and unexpected concilia-
tons that we find in the record of Mr..
Taft's immortal chief
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-25

AS a public man, Mr.. Taft has come
in for fair share of censure. His injunc-
ton decisions went too far in the inter
est of capital against labor. AS we recol-
lect his rulings, he made use of injunc-
tons to compel engineers and train-crews
to continue to work, when they wanted
to quit.
This use of the Writ of Injunction is a
perversion of its true legal meaning.
Never before in the history of jurispru-
dence was workman compelled, by legal

A DOG HERO.
Swan Out to Ship and Brought Life

A vessel was once driven upon the
coast Of England. The sea was very
high and there was no possible way to
put boat eff TO rescue the men, who
could be seen clinging to the wreck.
Presently gentleman came up with
great Newfoundland dog Placing a
stick Of wood in the dogs mouth, he
mOtiOned toward the wreck.
The dog Immediately obeyed his
masters command and swan bravely
out to sea. He found, however, that
he could not get near enough to de-
liver the stick. While he was padding
along, one of the crew Of the doomed
vessel threw a rope to him.
Instantly the intelligent dog knew
what was required of him. He let 80

Why, yes, father Why not?'

and was soon hidden from view by
some bushes that grew by the river.
Ned lived with his father on a
large cattle ranch in Texas The
