the people of the village, people in their turn VINO
have an enforced vacation of some nine months
IN the year, coupled with three months OF nara
work providing for, and taking the more or less
easy money Of the professional vacatlonlsts. 30
that, to advise these people to quit work tor three
months in the year, and that in the summer time,
was to advise them to quit work entirely
So ii seems that President Taft speaking
neither to the people he had come to socially visit
nor the crowd upon the green which he consider
ed it wise to officially jolly. Evidently, he HIM
self is taking vacation.
Considered from the point of view of the
country at large, there IS less of real value
in the Presidents utterances. Mr.. Roosevelt
would never have 80 far mistaken conditions as
they exist as to 1aunt before the tired eyes of
the masses outworn philosophy condition
that to them holds the limit of hope. Very grave
ly the President announces "reminiscences in
which his old father, though busy lawyer, held
to the belief that two weeks vacation year was
enough for any man. He gives this parental
memory the good natured laugh, we smile
at old standards of morality, at the strict con-
struction of dognas by ancient forcbears. The
world has moved, according to the President I'm
good society, no doubt he would have liked to
say, mo one thinks of taking vacation of
less than three months Perhaps this is true
But it remains a sad fact or otherwise as one de-
sires to contemplate it, that there is very little
good society left, as good society is measured by
the ability to take ones ease The Amerecian peo-
pie are making money, and as they make it, they
find that they have to spend it faster. They find
that they have to keep even buster than they did
before they made more They find that the hope
of vacation backs constantly away into the shade
as they come into the sunshine of success. The
vacation serves its purpose, much as the wisp of
hay in front of the donkey's nose serves its pur-
pose 1t keeps lis going, it keeps us planning, 1t
keeps us hoping for that rest whose value is in
the hope Of itand which, when now and then
we get it for two weeks, makes the year at least
shout three months longer than it would have
seemed had we kept at work BY all means take
a vacation, as long one as possible. Every
man will take one, but most Of those who make
up the sum of the countrys accomplishment will
not take it at Bar Harbor. They will take it at
home, for tfty-two weeks, perpetually starting
out upon their journey next weck-or the week
after next.

VACATIONS. AND HOW TO TAKE THEM

There are several ways Of looking at the
recommendations made by Mr.. Taft in his speech
upon the Village Green at Bar Harbor, the
fashionable Maine summer resort The Pres
dent spoke on vacations on which he is al pres
ent, of which he may be said at the moment to
be a part concerning which he is tt And he
averred that the American people have learned
something in the last generation--havc learned
in fact, to cease being their old-time energetic
constantly pounding selves. They have learned
according to Mr.. Taft, the necessity for rest
that the chief end in life after all is, SO far az
the individual is concerned, 10 preserve in health
the life which he has for as long a time as posi-
BILE Accordingly, so the President thinks, they
have learned that vacation, to be of any ac-
count must be real rest. II must run through
the period of at least two or three months. ''Dc
no work in the summer, GET out in the woods take
life easy" is the Presidential Injunction To
which, without exception, every man who does
work in the summer, whose efficiency is not a
matter Of temperament but matter of bread and
meat, will heartily agree. The question is, Who
will give the vacation and who having it, can
support it !
We say that this vacation speech may be look
ed at in several ways on account of the place
where it was made Mr. Taft had just come
from entertainment given him by people whose
profession is taking vacation, whose "rest' il
they ever thought of taking any, would be work
To them his advice was no doubt salutary, since
TO them it would have been advice to labor at
least nine months in the year instead of resting
twelve But on the other hand, the speech was not
made TO the fashionabes of Bar Harbor, but to

Agent L. c. Taylor, of the S. ?. c. A is
fternallv right in the position he takes respect
ing the edict of Treasurer Hachler in ordering
his deputies to kill all dogs which not tagged
to show the payment of their license. Mr..
Taylor insists that this is not legal and we think
that his contention is clearly correct Muzzhng
dogs as preventive of hydrophoba is one thing
killing dogs, whether they have hydrophobia or
not, is quite another The muzzling law is not
yet upon the statute books; much less is there
law authorizing any officer of the law to CON
stitute himself drum head court martial for
the purpose of their summary execution.
Under the principle upon which dog license
laws are founded, their orderly execution Is to
apprehend the dog running at large and UNI
licensed, to then notify the owner, and to place
upon his shoulders the responsibility for the
safety of his property. Legally dogs may not
be property, but they have owners, and owners
rights should be respected; for practically dogs
are not only valuable property, but good friends
and citizens Relatively speaking a shotgun
campaign on some city ALLEYS would hurt the
community no more than deadly crusade
against the dogs Neither has warrant in the
Ipriniciple of the law which in the case of dogs
imposes a penalty upon the owner for not comp
plvng with the terms of the license statute. The
Grim, is that of the man, and not of the dog
The dog has, or ought to have, some rights-dog
that he is And the owner ought to have at least
notice, before the right of life and the pursuit
of happiness is snuffed away from his canine
companion
We will not enter into the discussion which
Mr. Taylor opens up of The Learning of this or
der upon the law against cruelty to animals As
we see il, it opens up more serious condition.
as it encourages bad feeling between people and
officials To kill a mans dog Is to loose the very
dogs of hate in the man. If the killing be done
without warrant of law, the officer doing the
killing invades the realm of private rights, in
vtes difficulties, incites by the greatest sort Of
provocation an invitation to retailiatory crime
all the stronger because there is against him and
! his illegal act no legal redress.
Whatever action may be deemed necessary in
view of the hydrophobia scare, the scare itself
is not great enough and the condition not Of
sufficient danger to justify the dangerous ex-
pedient of stepping outside the regular course
of the law for a remedy.

Readable Items from the Cattle Ranges of Arizona Territory.

Clifton Era: R. H. Gatlett,. one of the cattlemen of the upper Eagle section, spent couple of days of this week in Clifton on business, and while here called at the Era office. Mr. Gatlett reports that the cattlemen of his section are feeling pretty good these days as the cattle are fat and feed is good. He reports that there is plenty of fat beef in his country that cattle buyers can secure if they will con- meet with some of the cattle owners. Judging from reports 8 good large shipment could be gathered, though some interests are holding for prices uniform to the class of truck they have. Up to this date no rains have visited the Eagle coun. try, though within the next few months that section will witness its regular wet season.
 Douglas International: Frank Moson, manager of the Greene Cattle company, with headquar- ters at Hereford, passed through Douglas this morning, en route from El Paso, where he had been on business. Mir. Moson was ac- companied by a cattle buyer, of Kansas, who is in this country to endeavor to make cattle purchases for spring delivery. Mir. Moson, speaking of the condition of the Greene cattle both in the United States and in Mexico, said that up to the present time the range had been sufficient to keep the cattle in fairly good condition, but said that the country was extremely dry and should there be no rain before the regular summer rains are expected there will be some very heavy losses on the range. To the west of the Greene ranges many cattle are dying and Mosen said that one outfit was now skinning about twenty head daily, found dead around the water holes. Mr. Moson states that the Greene Cattle com pany would begin the regular spring shipments of cattle on May
