nrZZLE THE DOGS.

Says the Louisville Courier-Journal iii an editorial of recent daie:
 'The term Dog Days does not, as many crsons suppose, mean a period in which hydrophobia is prevalent. It means the period at which the Dog star, Sirius. rises just before the sun. The period we designate nowadays as
 Dog Days is not the time of the heliacal rising of The Dog Star. Dogs suffering from thirst are often made the objects of a hue and cry in Dog Bays and needlessly killed. For this reason. if for no other, ordinances compelling owners to muZzle their dogs whenever they allo,N them to run at large of excellent service to dogs and their owners, as we'll as to per sons who fear rabies
 'In Germany hydrophobia was for merly prevalent and muzzling has eradicated ifl In London sentimental agitators started crusade against the muzzling ordinanesswh it's en- foeement had reduced stifFs annual av- efaaespf cases from TIC tosttfee in a period fof ,three years.

HOUSE DISCUSSES :
 FRANCHISE CONTIOI
Democratic Congressmen Say Water Power Trust is in League
 With Coal Trust.

Washington, July 29.-The time Of the House today was taken up with a discussion of the right of congress to control franchises given to water power companies.
 Representatives Foster and Fowler, of Illinois, Cullcp. of Indiana. and Lever. of South Carolina, all Demo- crats, denounced the water power trusl. which they declare is in league with the coal trust
 The debate began when Lever blocked the passage of a bill intro duced by Representative Badgett, Democrat of Tennessee. which per mitted sle construction of dam across Duck river in his s,ate. Rep 'resentative RNQndell, Republican. of .leads the, advocates of the present system of issuing franchises of use of navigable rivers.

1 that the bridge would not cost over l $630.000 and that they were in posses sion of a good bond to that effect yet, in Mir. Golfers unfoir fight on the people of Pine Bluff and Jeffer- son Couny, he stated through the public prints, by circulars and through public speeches that the bridge would cost from one and one half mill on to three million dollars. Fearing to make such careless state ments in the Federal Court, he was forced ,.o again admit the fairness ard honesty of the Bridge Commissioners, and the petition filed in the United States Court by MT. Golfers attor- neys, admits that the contemplated Bridge will cost no. mere than six hundred and fifty to seven hundred thousand dollars.
 The Bridge Commissioners have given their sacred words of honor that the bridge would not be built unless it brought with it a cnneetion with the Rock Islond railroad north of us near Lonoke and Nor. Collier and every ether man in this county knows the Commissioners will make good on that promise as they have on evsEy other.
 The building of that road is cinched and if any further proof was neces- sary the attitude of the Iron Mount ain and Cotton Belt Railroads in signing MT. Golfers protes'- against the bridge is ample. MT. Collier was invited to file his protests with the Commiss oners several times, but de- clined to do so. Was he afraid to show thot he was being backed up in his unjust fight by these two railroad corporations
 MT. Collier has made bitter and unnecessary fight on this great movement, backed up seemingly with unl mited funds, he has lost his fight ill all the courts and since the pub lie and open meetings of the Bridge Commission, if appearances ond eX- Lwessions go for anything, what ever little publ c sentiment existed against the bridge is now scattered to the winds.
 Interest in the matter by the tax payer league vanished after the very first day of the open meeings at which there were great number of Mr Golfers friends. The fairness of the DlQSe cOnlInlSSlOn at lHIS Heel- ing was so manifest that many of them left Tn wonderment that MT. Collier should so openly charge them with unfairness, and after the first days meeting, there was never more than two anti-bridge men at any sit ting of the commission.
 It is rumored that MT. Collier will seek further relief from the courts, thereby making good, if possible his open statement on the court house steps, that he was fighting for time and delay, with the hope of finally forcing the abandonment of the pro- jsct. We sincerely hope that these rumors gre untrue, and if true, that they will fail of their purpose. Mr. Collier should bow gracefully to de- feat, having made the best fight he could, and he and his friends should join hands with the commi ssione%s, and let Pine Bluff and Jefferson County take advantage of this fine opportunity. IL is possible to delay a good thing for while MT. Collier, but you cannot defeat it.

The lis's of ap- plicants and of continued indigents have been received from about two- thirds of the counties, and Auditor Johe thinks there will probably be a slight increase over last year. Tn 1911 the Boar ddistributed abori $550,- 900, at 6S cents on the dollar of pen sions allowed, and this year there will be about $56O,000 to distribute.

THE BRIDGE COMMISSIONERS
 AND THE BRIDGE.

w tn the close of the public meet ing of the bridge commissioners at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, Saturday, after daily sessions morn ing and afternoon and to which every tax payer was urged and many were Pcesen., the honorable and patriotic gentlemen composing the commission finished its list of real estate owners who had signed the petitions in favor of the bridge. These lists were made by the two stenographers represent Ing the Bridge .Ecmm ssion and the Tax payers league and when footed up, showed that a total Of Twenty eight hundred and eighty real estate owners, had signed. in favor of the bridge. Several weeks ago the three young men who had been engaged to tabulate these petitions published an affidavit showing that 2S24 pet tlon- CTS had been received 6y the commits c,cners in favor of the bridge and these figures were mere than sub- .stentiated by the public listing of the petitions by the stenographers.
 It was this fact. so we'll knewn 10 Mr. Collier, that caused him to seek every known remedy at law to pre-
 
 legally ascertaining and publishing the undeniable facts. MT. Collier knew that the Bridge Commissioners were men of the greatest honor ana that they would not misrepresent anyrhing in connection With their ef- fots to build the bridge and It was only after his injunctions in our local courts had been set aslde and ms failure to procure an lnJuacuoh rom the United States Federal Court were inc commissioners permitting to take the puhl.c@ into their meetings a9id announce < pablicly sIheir effQrss tos build the bfid&e AiThe bridge cenmisSloners nave made good in every abatement tney have made and in "every promise They told the people to ssart witn

for the disease and twenty-five died.
 In the United States hydrophobia IS common and on the increase, ac-
 cording to the Bureau of Animal In dustry. Nine-tenths of The cases con. tracted by human beings are received through the bites of rabid dogs. Dogs
 eXhlDltlng symptoms of illness, suct
 as depression, sullenness, restless.
 ness, 1rritability or a disposition tc
 lick every hing within reach should
 be muzzled, chained or caged, accord
 ing to the advice of the Bureau et
 Animal Industry, and kept under in-
 tel1gent observation. A dog that has dlHlculty in swallowing and seems to nave bone in it's throat, or one which IHanders away from home and returns covered with dirt and ex- hausi ed should be confined and matched. Never kill the suspected dog, especially if it has bitten any one, if it is possible to confine it. The animal should he kept alive and watched in order that the existence or noneXistence of rabies may be dis covered. Killing the dog to preven, the person bittenefrom having hydro 2hobia is the result of stupidity.
 Bear in mind the fact that dogs, and especially puppies, have numer- ous ailments that have nothing to dc vii hydrophobia, and that when suffering from trhist they frequently arouse ill-grounded suspicion. The hoWling bomb which gives chase to sick dog and kills it often kills an animal that is not sufferins, from an infectious disease, and if the dog has raples the evidence is destroyed un- .ess a competent physician is called 10 make a post-moriem examination AS rabies may be contracted during such an examination, dissecting sus- pected dogs is not popular. It is probably because dogs suffering from lack of water in Dog Days are of ten mistaken for rabid animals that confusion as to the meaning of Dog Days exists
 Plne Bluff has an ordinance for the muzzling of dogs perml ted to run at :arge. In their recent spasm of ac- tlvity in the enforcement of this or dlnanee some members of the police force acted with wanton and unneces- sary cruelty, in many cases clubbing to death stray dogs they found without muzzles, though the dogs showed no signs of rabies, whatever. Such meas ures are brutal and not to be condon- cd lightly.
 The ordinance should be enforced, out humanely, with enlightenment and the spirit of good citizenship. The owners of dogs, when they have been informed of the wisdom and humanity of the ordinance, will act promp ly ln the matter of muzzling their pets. 1T It Is necessary to kill any stray dogs, it should be done in a manner at once merciful and expeditions, The dogs should be taken off the streets and chloroformed. N is to be hoped this twill be resorted to only in cases where it is impossible to find the own CT of the dog.
 Not only should the ordinance be compiled with, but every dog owner and every man of kindly instinct should go out of his way to supply the dogs with Ter, clean and req sonably fresh.
