q ruler. Take the office of President, the highest exec
utiye office in the nation. His term is four years, sub
ject to reelection. The idea that fixed a short term is
that of preventing permanent injurious results from the
arbitrary and unauthorized action of some ambitious and
unprincipled President. if ever there should be one such
in office.
1t may not be generally known that the convention
that framed the constitution at first prescribed a pres!-
Dental term of seven years, with q prohibition upon re-
election and only as the convention was nearing its end.
and-so far as the record shows-without any discus
sion or suggestion of reason. therefor, this was changed
into a four-years' term, and without the ineligibility. In
the judgment of many men, among whom l am one, there
was a mistake in that change.
In the light OF history think it would have been bet
ter to have left the presidential term Of seven years,
with an accompanying ineligibility.

For months past Humane officers
have been trying to compel all dogs 10

ly, but there are still dogs not licensed
roaming the streets. and, worst OF all,
there are dogs at large licensed put
without the tags they are expected TO
wear. Owners state various reasons
for this. the most common OF WhlcA
is that constant rubbing .iby the tag
Injuries the coat of the 9diimal.
But the tag must be worn, hence the
trouble of the men who are Watching
this source of the city's revenue. They
have been provided with tags and these
will be affixed by string to the collars
of tagless CANNES. They Will chase
every dog seen without a license pen
dant until it is captured and, and then
will affix to its collar the notice which
demands a license and a numbered hit
of metal must be secured by the own
CT of that dog or trouble Immediately
will ensue.
The dog is expected to take this
warning notice to his home and dis
play it tos his master.
After a reasonable length of time
dogs found on the street without license
tags will either be impounded or the
owners arrested. The police commits
sioners have decided to have a dog
licensed, but untagged is just as
heinous an offense to the welfare OF
the pubic as a dog unlicensed, and will
act accordingly.
The maximum fine for the offense
is $50.
