~MAD DOG" scAREs.

Certain nervous and hysterical people
are throwing their annual alarms over
mad dogs. 1t seems strange that hui
man beings-apparently sane along all
other lines-will do so many foolish
things In connection with alleged mad
dogs.
There is probably such a thing as
rabies. Certain physicians and medics
say so, at least. But that one of every
1000 dogs-which are said to be mad
really have hydrophobia is very
much 70 be doubted.
Every time a canine acts in an un-
usual manner or shows extreme irrita-
ton or annoyance-some excitable per-
son shouts mad dog" Others take 1t
up-and panic ensues.
Lidgerwood recently had a case. A
dog acted dueerly, bit some others and
was killed. An examination of the
head Of the strange dog by the state
health board showed the animal was
not SUFFERING from rables.
Courtenay has undergone a similar
experience within week or two and
Forbes is the latest town to report
hydrophobia. The dog that caused the
excitement at Courtenay was pro-
nounced all right.
The mad dog" scares are started
primarily by nervous excitable people
who become hysterical as a result of
their fright and vivid imaginations
There is general suspicion that agents
Of Pasteur institutes foster the fright
for business reasons. There are oc-
casional cases of rabies-and the
actual instances furnish the basis for
the thousands OF mythical ones.

Devils Lake World: Despite the

held in the Cowan case there appears
to have been little time left in which
the people of the state have held a
few real rallies condemning the ac-
ton of Governor Burke In vetoine the
appropriation for the continuance and
support of the farmers institutes.
There is without a doubt no form or

that this fall will witness the first OF

suddenly cut off the source of main

Is an unprecedented action, especially
in the face Of the immense cost Of the
Cowan trial, which has been so active
~ urged and assisted by Governor
Burke.
The people Of the state have shown
themselves to be in favor of these
institutes and will undoubtedly pro-
vide ways and means whereby they
may be continued.

the Record:
"What would the kicker and

Lying side by side, and bearing

widely different than the people
of North Carolina andNew YORK.
We do not think alike upou pub
lie Questions, and we are no near
err together now than we were fif-
ty YEARS ago. The reason for this
difference is easy to soc. In South
Carolina there are two classes OF
white folks; in North Carolina,
speaking broadly, there is only
one. There is solidarity and nni-
~ in North Carolina; in the Pal.
metto State there are sharp di-
visions and bitter antagonisms.
The upper class ruled t h e

held the Offices, made tho policy
and administered all the affairs
OF the government. For a long
time the common people bore
with the arrogance of their mas.
ters, but in due season a one.

who was himself a large | a n d.
owner and an upper class man,
but a shrewd and, willy dema-
gogue, arose aud tore the scep.
ter from the hands OF the partrl-
claus, Some of us remember how
the leaders stood aghast when
Ben Tillman entered the Senate
to which only the blue blooded
aristOcrats from South Carolina
ever went, and how they predic-
ted Tillman's downfall and dis
grace in that August body. But
he did not fall down and he was
not dlsgraced. He held his own
with the best OF them and wa s
the most influential Senator
South Carolina has had since the
war, and perhaps the brainlest.
The success OF Tlllman gave the
common people hope, and ever
since they have figured conspicu.
ouSly in South Carolina politics.
They are not always wise. They
are not half so fit to administer
public affairs as the aristocrnts.
They elected Cole Blease for Gov
ernor, They have elevated many
incompetent men to office; but
the aristocrats have themselves
to blame for this dpplorable sit
uation. They gave no quarters
and reserved none. The history
of North Carolina is wholly diff
ferent. In this state meh from all
the walks of life have been cho-
sen to high positions. Nathaniel
Macon was the plainest of men

Democracy has always charac-

Editors Always Under Fire.

BY j. e, Junxin,
Journalism is indeed a funny
business; there's no other in the
world like it. Lawyers, doctors,
merchants, mechanics and un.
skilled lnb0rers all have their
holes. but there is no place TO r
the editor to- lay, his head. When
he is in trouble he has no hole.
I After the smoke OF the battl has
cleared away, after the spring
election is over, the doctor goes
buck to his pills and no on e
seems to bother him again; the
Lawyer slips into court and what
he said is forgotten; the other
classes and conditions of men
fade into the background and be.
come part of the landscape. But
the editor sticks up like a sore
toe in high wind. What he said
ana what they thought he said
and what be should have SAID
and never said, and what he
might have said, but didn't, as.

men lay awake ut nights hating
his internal arrangements.
If he stands by the ticket he is
accused of bossing the town; ifhe
takes to the brush, he is. called a
coward who is playing b t h
sides; if he clearly indicates that
he doesn't care a tinker's oh.
struction whether school keeps
or not both sides claim that lie is
secretly helping the other side.
It's a funny business. In times
of great public stress over the
election of a member of the school

ereign people of a candidate for
the council the editor, whose real
businesses is to furnish a reliable

he is a door mat. a kick post, a
red rag and q tasus belli all wrap

In such times as these some
men whom he has lived with as
neighbor and friend for thirty
years takes the street like a mad
dog, yelping and XII odling in
rage. He carries the paper fol-
ded to show the infamous item;
he points the finger OF scorn at it
and yells like a circus calliope at
the wrongs and injustices of his
miserable lot. He digs up some
