BRITISH VETERANS

London, August 27.-(Special) although
business men and others are supposed to
be too old at 40 the last few weeks
have produced a remarkable list of Brit
ish veterans who cannot be said to have
ended their days of usefulness.
On his Goth birthday Lord Strathcona,
who received hundreds of congratulatory
kilograms and letters, breakfasted at s.,
went to his office as usual and worked
there very hard until s in the evening.
Many of his young clerks complain bit
terly of the hours but the Grand Old
Man" of Canada, according to his ply
sicians, would soon break up If he sid
not keep his hand at the pillow.
Among other veterans who still work
hard are Lord Wemyss, who is 80; Sir
Frederick Young. 81. and tho Dean f

services. Lord Wefnyss. by the way, is

 NEW DOC LAW

Town Clerk William Thomas said today that he will ask the senators and representatives from this city to introduce a bill changing the dog laws. MT. Thomas said: T want a law whereby 1t will be possible for the owner of a licensed dog to go to the dog warden and get his dog without paying an inpounding fee. The dog owner should not pay the fee, even though the tag on the col lar of his dog has been lost or re- moved. Then there should be a heavy impounding fee charged for unlicensed dogs so that people who try to evade the law by escaping pay ment of the license fee will pay the entire cost of maintaining the pound It is not fair to charge to observers of the law the same amount that is charged the law breakers"
 The town clerk will bring the Bridgeport delegation to the legisla- ture together within a few days and discuss the matter with them.

ODEBOLT'S POPULATION.

Odebolt Chronicle.-We have reason
to believe that the census will not
show an increase in the population of
Odebolt and it is not improbable that
the figures will fall below the state
census of 1905. This will doubtless
seem incredible to those who know
there are more houses-and all OF
them occupied-than ever before
more voters than were ever within the
corporate limits when census was
taken and substantial growth in area
and business. But when one goes over
the town, street by street he finds
families Of two or three where once
were seven or eight; elderly couples
living along in home once full Of chill
dren. The young folks have gone; the
old remain. There are more than sew
enty widows in town and they have
few children living with them. Other
towns in Iowa are in the same condi-
ton. They have grown in wealth and
area but not in population.

Supposing, says the Des Moines
Capital, referring to the confidential
information given out by the former
stenographer, Kerby, of the interior
department, there were strained rela-
tons between the United States gov
eminent and some foreign power, and
the secretary of war was conducting a
line of correspondence containing
propositions, the acceptance or rejec-
ton of which was fraught with the
gravest consequences to the nations
concerned. Surprising some stem
ographic upstart, who had been en-
trusted with the dictation, should con-
ceive the thrilling idea that the sec
rotary of war was not carrying on the
governmental business along right
lines and should conclude to expose
the war department" to sensation
mongering news syndicate. 1t Is a
very safe guess that the presumptious
one would be given such a startling
Interpretation of the United States
laws against treason that his hair
would stand for long time to come.
The only difference In the moral OBJ
liquity of the two cases, the Capital
adds, is the difference in the status
given to military and civil affairs. The
traitor in peace may not be as odious
as the traitor in war, but his standing
before the public will always be pre-
carious and in not much danger of
general emulation.

BURLINGTON CENSUS.

Burlington Hawk-Eye.-What will
happen to the present city admins
tration should it turn out that, by the
new census. Burlington has not total
of $4,000 inhabitants?
This is a question over which some
Of Burlington's lawyers are divided IN
opinion. 1t appears to be quite GER
tain now that the new federal census
will not give Burlington $4,000 people.
The best estimate possible from the
census of the Commercial Exchange
and what can be learned from the fed
eral census that Burlington will do
we'll if it can scare up round 24,SO0.
The total number is likely to go even
below this. The federal census ten
years ago gave Burlington but 23,2O1
inhabitants. The state census of five
years ago gave the city 25,318. But
the present federal census will only
total matter of 24,800. For thirty
five years the records show that the
federal census is below that Of the
state census.
The question has been asked what
If anything, will happen to the present
city government should the forecast Of
the present census prove correct. It
will mean that Burlington has elected
five commissioners on false basis Of
population, which, in fact, gives it the
right only to elect three commission
ers. One legal light expressed the opin-
ion that should the case of legality
of the election of the present city gov
eminent be taken to the courts, that
under claim of padding of the last
censuo thu court might direct the last

thew were given tickets to a parade

Some Of the people, evidently, were
,ahoring under the impression that
thew were attending royal jubilee OF
some kim instead Of attending q
funeral. They didn't have as good a
lime as they expected to have.
Some Of us thought that 1t looked a
little odd to see Col. Roosevelt, the
representative of the greatest nation
In the world, riding in carriage near
the end Of the procession and behind a
lot Of puppet monarchs Of insignificant
European principalities. but no one
tried to break up the funeral on tnls
account. There was genuine respect
for King Edward in this country. He
was admired for his manly qualities,
and not the titles he held, and the peo-
ple are not interested as much as to
which particular crowned head had
precedence in the funeral procession
az in the fact that the sorrow felt
here over King Edwards passing was
given fitting expression.
