august tribunal in this city is occupied with
the grave question whether the dog business has
been taken over by trust. | quote from the New
York World
Must bull pups pedigrees be brought under fed
eral regulation? Or shall deserving dog owners
be left at the mercy of oppressive trust in dis
regard of the principles of common justice?
In San Francisco dog show judge has
planned to the United States circuit court that the
pedigree business is controlled by close monop-
oily. The fact that he certain Rockefelers
and Belmonts as officers of the trust is enough to
start of popular indignation. Their wealth
may give them the right to control the nations
banks. railroads, mines and forests, but its
supply of dogs.
Every American, rich and poor. is entitled to the
constitutional pursuit of happiness in the form of
dog. In Arkansas Mark Twain said, every

poor that they owned half dozen. They
of the pedigreed kind but that does prove that
exists in restraint of trade the Calfor-

Then there is the other kind of dog. The streets
of San Francisco are overrun with nongre puppy,
whelp and hound and cur OF low degree They are
dangerous brutes in many ways, and there appears
to be no sort of municipal regulation effort to
collect the tax. San Francisco should copy the
practice of San Bernardino, where it is made a
public offense to own an unlicensed dog. Here
when did anything in this relation justice was
done the dog for being alive. In San BernardinO

extremely refined legal distinctions invoked to
diferentiate the of the Chinese gamblers from
that OF the white sinners, but it is exactly these

A ROMAN FATHER

Grove Johnson has written biography of his son
Hiram. Whether it is paternal modesty or some
other sense hitherto unsupported in him. he doles
out commendation with grudging hand, and with
many reservations, as, for instance when he con
cludes:
His father is proud of him. as is natural: proud
of the fight he made get the nomination (whie
ndorsng his methods), and proud in advance
of the fight he will make get the election Crust
ing it will be dignihed) and if elected will be
proud of his election, and hopes that he will be
still prouder after he has served his term
But we learn that Hiram can play ball and sing
good song, besides having-ths by inference-a
Roman father.

nincompoopian habit of the tribe to express fear
that they could not live UP to their blue china It

Mr.. KAHN's STEADY COMPANY

Hon. Julius Kahn is distributing through the
mails among a grateful constituency at Uncle
Sans expense his famous piece entitled "The
Muckrakers of Other Days" Notwithstanding its
euPhonious title, this is not song, although it may
be said to be written in ragtme. Our Julius does
not like the muckraker and he shares this feeling

away and the funerals came thick and fast. The
horse doctor and the canine undertaken had steady
job. One of these refined qudrupeds cost $4,000

A law should be passed making it crime for
any newspaper for gain hire attempt
rupt public opinion The right to freely speak,
write and publish his sentiments all subjects
of the dearest rights of the citizen but every
citizen should be held responsible for the abuse of
the right within the contemplation of the consti-

What's the use? Much as detest and despise
the vena press, [ have too much respect for law
to wish" for statute that could not possibly be
enforced. 1t is practically impossible now to enforce
the laws against bribing officials. 1t would be
far difficult to convict under law against
venal journalism, even if it were constitutional
which is quite doubtful. I believe that the supreme
court of this state is committed to the doctrine that
newspaper has right to sell its opinions for the
best price Our statute book is already cluttered I'D
with dead and imperative laws enacted to gratify
some passing whm grievance. AS long as
people continue to buy and read newspapers that
they know ito be venal the abuse will continue
There are people in this town who read the

SARToRIAL LIMITATIONS

Not long ago a strenuous young woman out OF
Boston had the temerity to appear the polo
grounds at Burlingame in br-ches, and in
consequence made the subject of lot of silly
publicity. Doubtless if Miss Eleanor Sears had
appeared on Market street in such costume
ludcious policeman, regardfu of the proprieties
and the law, would have promptly called the patrol
wagon and, if more than common wise, would have
lent her his coat for a shield from the prying eyes
of Peeping Tom There is of course, no earthly
reason why women should not walk the streets
in the garb of old Gaul or of young America except
that we have chosen to wrap them in mystery and
swathe them in garments that impede action. The
custom of servitude is we'll established that
