BIC MAD DOG SCARE
Medical Authorities Caution
Indiana People Against
Wild Animals.
"WARE THE STRAY DOG

Look out for mad dogs when the
weather gets warmer. Experts on
dogs, and the best authorities on ra-
bies. declare that an epidemic of by
drophobia among Indiana dogs is de-
veloping rapidly, and that the coming
summer is sure to bring on a decided
.ly dangerous increase in the disease.
The mad dog epidemic has been grow
ing and has been observed by scien-
lists in Indiana since November, 1905.
1t is declared by state health Off
GERS that the conditions are not at all
pleasing so far as danger from mad
dogs is concerned. 1t is predicted
that there will be heavy loss of life
and money before hydrophobia among
the dogs of the state is stamped out
The last year has seen many deaths
due to rabies. resulting from dog
bites, and much live stock has been
lost in the same way.
Word has gone forth from the med
ical authorities: "Ware the stray dog.
The muzzle and the shotgun are
likely TO be called into general use in
the dog world this season.

CONGRESSIONAL TRUST BUSTING.

It would be comical to newspaper in
terests, were it not such a serious mat
ter with them, when it is said that con-
gress intends to enter the trust bust
ing business in order to wipe out the
paper trust, For two years now, the
newspapers of the land have been held
up systematically by the paper trust.
Prices of news paper have mounted
steadily and the trust has advanced the
plea that,it is because Of the growing
scarcity Of the raw material that enters
into the manufacture OF paper. That
excuse is good enough for the untniti-
ated, but to the experienced newspa-
per man 1t does not hold water. The
paper trust Is just like all the rest Of
the trusts In the country, heavily over
capitalized and trying to pay good div
idends on this watered stock. The
dividends are being paid. but they rep
resent extortionate profits forced from
the newspapers Of the country 1t has
been proposed that congress should
wipe out the tariff on news paper and
allow the foreign product to compete
with the American trust. A little
competition of this sort would soon re-
suit in lower prices. Even under ex-
listing conditions paper is being i'm
ported from Sweden in competition
gress, however, gravely assures the
country that the tariff is not to blame
for the high price Of paper. On the
contrary congress has made the amaz-
ing discovery that there is a paper
trust and that it is responsible for the
high prices now prevailing. Congress
therefore declares that it intends to
bust up the pernicious paper trust and
bring relief to the downtrodden pub,
fishers of the nation. That was tried
several years ago. The Central Paper
company, which was the trust at that
time. was put out of business. Today
however, in its place flourishes the In
ternational Paper company. far more
gigantic and powerful trust than its
predecessor. Considering the former
failure to abolish trust in news paper
we doubt if congress will be any more
successful In its present endeavor. Tt
our mind the only way IN which the de
sired result can be obtained, IS 10 le
competition to batter down the nonop

FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR AN
ARCHISTS.

The preservation of the government
and of society. in the nobler sense Of
the word, is Of far more importance, it
seems to us. than the granting Of free
dom Of speech to anarchists. Mr..
Foulke, of this city, in speaking before
the City Club Of Chicago, took the
allowed the privilege Of freedom OF
speech so long as they did not openly
incite 10 murder and violence. AS
nearly as we can learn, it is impossible
for anarchists TO speak on practically
any subject without directly or indi-
rcctIy melting men TO do these very
things. The teachings Of anarChism
instil hatred Of all government in the
breasts Of its followers. Anarchists
would destroy all government. They
would have every man law unto him
self And TO prove the beauty Of that
ideal they occasionally go out and
blow up a few kings and potentates,
just by way of letting off steam.
When these things occur abroad We
give them some attention and deplore
them, but it is not until our own cOun-
| try is visited by the wrath Of the an
archists that we really realize the i'm
! possibility OF acceding to their dream.
| Take the assassination OF orr late
president. William Mckinley. II was
so dreadful and so uncalled for In this
| land. where majority has decided
what kind of a government we shall
have and who shall be at its head, that
the entire nation decried anarchy
There has been recently a recurrence
of anarchist activity. There was the
| assassination in Denver and the at,
tempt on the life Of Chicagos chief OF
police. Then there was the far more
serious attempt to blot out an entire
police squad in New York only a cOu-
pie of weeks ago by means Of bomb
These things are the result of the
teachings of anarchy. The doctrine
that would have men believe that the
| majority has not the right to decide
what kind Of government we shall
have It Is true that anarchy is not
now, and never will be powerful
enough to overturn existing govern
ments permanently, but is that any rea
| son why anarchists should be allowed
| every privilege to spread their false
doctrine? Certainly, not. 1t may be q
breach of the constitution to smother
anarchist speeches, but far better thai
breach than that the education o.
bomb throwers shall continue.

Washington, April 20.-A forceful
reminder Of the old Star Route cases
has been furnished latterly by the
seeming blindness Of the powers that
be and of Congress TO the fragrant
mismanagement, appropriation and
misapprOpriation of funds by officials
who are under the eyes of those SUI
preme in authority.

full of the reports Of the vigilance of

charges may have emanated from ir-
responsible persons through spite or

they have committed.

And yet, right here in Washington,
officials have been allowed to control
large sums of public money without
being required to make monthly, Or

on the receipt or disbursement Of the
funds in their hands. Why these Of

no more than they had done for years
All sorts of excuses were made for
the discharge of men who were sup
posed to be inimical to the reign of
the Public Printer.
II will be remembered that appeal
after appeal was made for an investi-
cation OF conditions in the Printing
Office
Charges were made by newspapers
and every possible effort was made to
secure immediate action and attention
so as to save some of the millions
that were being expended. For some
reason or other the testimony of those
interested in economy and proper adj
ministration of an important depart
ment has been ignored.

appropriation Of funds is bad enough
but the injustice that has been in

have made. Many of them have had

Heavy Blows Dealt the Saloon oy
 Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D.D.

In one of his recent sermons Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman dealt some heavy blows to the saloon from the text They have sown the wind; they shall reap the whirlwind."
 God has not only written that text in the Bible;- He has written it in his tory. he said Nations, cities and villages have sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind The newspa pers give Us a new version of the story every morning. Ne find 1t everywhere. Every man, be he rich or poor. has the ability to SOW. More over. he has two ways of sowing Paul has pointed out that sowing to the flesh reaps a harvest of corruption; while he who sows to the Spirit will reap life everlasting One way is easier than the other and that is why so many thousands fall"
 Speaking of the saloon as a pitfaii for mankind. the evangelist provoked applause when he predicted that the power Of the liquor interests was ! waning This was followed by an aneedote Of a woman who, when a magistrate sent her husband 10 prison, said Hadn't you better lock up the saloon instead Of my husband?7 The audience applauded q second time, which caused Dr. Chapman to stamp ! his foot with annoyance.
 Don't applaud, he continued. use your votes against the saloon evil instead.
 Some of you men may be leading impure lives: some of you may be dis honest: some of you may be drunk ards be continued Unfortunately. the sin that you laugh al today and commit tomorrow is always binding you tighter in it's meshes. The time will come when you cannot escape"
 A story followed which exhibited the anguish of a father whose daughter was brought home intoxicated. It was the result of his own sin prior 10 her birth. the speaker said.
 70 men, it Is bad enough to ruin your own lives with sin, but how ter rible it is to ruin the lives Of your un- born childreni" cried the evangelist.
 Then the speaker lifted a Bible high and told his hearers that upon the au- thority of that book the man who re- pented and came to God would have his sins of the past forgiven.
