Enforce the Law.

Since the passage of the deg law
in 1907 there has been no special
effort made in many portions of the
state to enforce it. Hundreds of
dogs are running at large without
the insignia prescribed by the law,
primarily designed for the benefit
of the country districts, especially
in portions devoted to the raising
of sheep.
The state constitution requires all
taxation to be uniform on the same
class of subjects, so there is no way
to exempt the dogs of the towns
from the taxation applied to those
in the country.
There are apparently a number
of dogs running about the streets
minus the official tag.
lust why the law has no; been
applied to these mongrels is not
known, for the act is very specific.
The returns of the assessor should
show the number of dogs claimed
by the citizens of the place. If the
license tag has not bt EN- secured by
the owners then the dogs can be
impound ed and killed.
Those who are responsible for
the fulfillment OF the provisions of
act of 1907 are certainly der elict in
their duly if they fail to report the
number of CANNES running at large
minus the special tag. Some day,
when it is too late perhaps, the
constables will be brought to book
for their disregard of the law,
when an innocent little tot has
been mauled and mangled by one
of these ours. 1t were better that
the law be enforced than to have
human life sacri6ced.-Ee

prepared during the winter term,
and while the registration figures
have been materially increased by
the new corners of the present
term, the results are still worthy
of mention.

course, from Pennsylvania, but the
neighboring states of New York,
Delaware and New Jersey were

The large barn of Harvey George
Franklin township, near Bethel
church, foui miles :rom Elysburg,
was burned about II o'clock Sat-
urday night.
The FIRE was seen first by Mrs.
Georg, and had then gained such
headway that tu, little could be
done toward saving the contents.
Two horses and hogs. a cali, and
some chickens were burned. "A
corn cultivator, grain thrasher
and separator helonging to A {,
Gcttshall, and other machinery

straw and fodder were also burned .
The barn was large bank struct-

group of smaller buildings, con-
sisting of hog pen, a chicken
coop and wagon sheds all ol
which were destroyed. The loss
is estimated at between $1,000 and
SI4oo. Mr. George carried insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is a

ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

The issue of the Morning Press
last Monday marked the seventh
anniversary of the establishment OF
that bright and newsy paper. The
issue consisted of 81 pages, and it
was a marvel in every way. 1t
contained news, industrial, profes-
sional, religious, financial, building
and real estate. and educational
sections, and was profusely illus
trated with half-tone cuts. The
various designs of the headings and
ornamental cuts were prepared by
Walter III. Brooke.
No inland country newspaper in
the state has ever attempted an
issue on SO large scale and but
few of the city dailies have sur
passed it. Messrs. Vanderslice and
Eyerly are to be congratulated and
complimented upon the energy
ability and enterprise that have
made the Morning Press leader
among the journals OF the state.

a company composed of promi-

with several capitalists from New

formed fer the purpose of building
a trolley line along the West Branch

to providing their own power to

The road will probably connect

New England and other more pop

its infancy.

House Passes Judges Salary Increase

Representative Salus, of Phila-
delphia, called up in the House from
the postponed final passage calen-
dar on Monday night, and succeed
ed in getting passed, the bill to
largely increase the salaries of all
the Judges in the State, which was
defeated last week for lack of five
votes, but reconsidered and post
poned.
Mr.. Morrison, of Beaver, at
tackled the bill, saying it would add
$500, 900 year to the salaries of
the Judges. eff this Legislature
votes all this to the poor Judges,
Mr.. Morrison said, 81 want the
people to know that for two years
800 of the insane at the Dixmont
Hospital have been obliged to sleep

inform this Legislature before it
votes upon this bill.
Mr.. Rockwell, of Tioga, called
attention to lack of State money
for necessities and for the suffering
wards of the State.
Mr.. Wallace, of Lawrence, de-
clared that as many appropriation
bills must fall for want of suf-
ficient revenue, the passage Of this
bill would mark great injustice.
He thought that there was demand
in places for increases of Judges;
but there was little or none for in
crease of Judges salaries. The
people did not want this, and he
believed the Judges did not demand
it.
Mr., Decker, of Lehigh, referring
to calls of question" from the
Philadelphians and others, said that
"tne evident impatience for vote
gives the impression that there is
now some more persuasive argu-
ment at work than the eloquen e
heard here upon this bill last
week.
MIR. Dempsey, of Lackawanna,
who voted against the bill last
week. said he had been under the
misrepresentation that Judges got
$500 a year; but since finding that
the amount was only $4,000 he mad
changed his mind about the bill.
Every revenue-raiser has re-
ceived its death blow in this House
since the vote upon this bill last
week." said Mr.. Reynolds, of Law
renee; land the men who killed
them are the hackers of this meas
ure.
