That Is an interesting development
in Great Britain in connection with the
attempt on the part Of the government
to suppress the publication Of the suf-
fragette newspaper. OF course no man
of healthy mind is going to endorse the
lawless methods that the suffragettes
have been pursuing in the destruction
of private property by dynamite, fire
and other means, or resorts to personal
violence. These things always have
and always will be inconsistent with the
universal Christian idea Of right. 1t is
quite natural, therefore, that represen-
tatives Of the government should be in
clined to suppress the newspaper or
gan that Is making it its business to
incite and apologize for violence of this
kind. But all Englishmen know very
we'll that every right they have ever
won, and they have won many, has
been won at the expense Of more or
less violence. The Magma Charter was
wrung from King John through threat
of revolution, and the Chartist move
ment which commenced in the last
century and which has resulted in
great extension Of the franchise, has
been attended by fully as much vio-
lence as has characterized the suffra-
gette movement. All England and all
the world knows that England has been
made greater and stronger as the re-
suit Of the chartist movement. Wheth-
er woman suffrage is right or wrong,
it is difficult for the world to make up
its mind. This Is quite natural. A
notion does not overthrow and revolu-
tionize the practices and traditions OF
thousands of years in day or a week.
That woman suffrage is coming some
day Is reasonably certain; but how
long 1t will be no man can tell. How
ever, that is not the question. Eng
land has already learned her lesson on
the subject of the liberty Of the press.
The principle was fought out in all It's
details, and public opinion was lasting
ly impressed with the conviction that
established and maintained only
through liberty Of the press. That those
who are most bitterly and unreason-
ably opposed to woman suffrage should
have struck at the press is perfectly
natural. There is absolutely no ques-
ton of the fact that If the movement
ever succeeds, 1t will be through the
help of newspapers, the only means of
disseminating the principles involved.
But then as it has developed, the bet
ter judgment of the ablest Englishmen
does not fail to realize the danger OF at
tempting to suppress even an organ
like this. They know they will estab-
lish a most dangerous precedent that
will rise up to plague them In other
matters of still greater importance.
They evidently understand that while
they are confronted with grave and
vexatious problems, they must fight the
matter out in the ordinary way, else In
avoiding one great seeming evil they
fly to other evils that they know not
fly to other evils that they know not of.

MAD DOGS AT LARGE

There is hydrophobia among the dogs
in the territory extending across from
TirZah over into the Beth Shiloh
neighborhood and as consequence
considerable anxiety and excitement
among the people Of that vicinity.
Two little sons Of Mr.. J. C.. Wallace
Of Tirzah, Edison and Lloyd, aged /;
and II, respectively, were bitten or
Tuesday by shepherd dog that was
being kept on the premises, and Has
kell, the 11-year- old son Of Mr.. w. H
Chambers of Beth-Shiloh, was bitten
by bird dog belonging to Mr.. w. A
Bolin, on the same day.
Mr.. Wallace in the one case and
Messrs. Chambers and Bolin in the
other case, as soon as they had reason
to suspect the trouble with the dogs
communicated with DR.. F. A. Coward
in Columbia. Mr.. Wallace had killed
the dog that had bitten his children
and was instructed to forward its head
to Columbia at once, and 1t was ship
ped on Saturday. Mr.. Bolin, who he'd
not killed his dog but had put 1t up
was told to keep it and await develop
ments. The dog died on Monday after
having had frequent fits during the
few days previous and its head was
shipped at once.
On yesterday, Mr.. Wallace received
a telegram notifying him that the dog
that had bitten his little boys undoubt-
edly had hydrophobia and the neces-
sary serum and instructions fol
the application of the Pasteur treat
ment were shipped to both Mr.. Wal
lace and Mr.. Chambers.
Mr. Wallace's boys were bitten or
Tuesday, but he was not advised Of II
until Wednesday, when after the dog
had begun to act strangely, the boys
told him that 1t had snapped them on
the day before. Suspecting at once the
possible trouble, and unwilling to take
any chances, Mr.. Wallace lost no time
ir killing the dog.
From such information as has been
brought to The Enquirer office, 1t ap-
pears that there has been quite good
deal of hydrophobia in the neighbor-
hood for some time past and there Is
reason to believe that many dogs may
have been bitten. The people generally
are naturally very much concerned
over the matter.

growth of the world were the three
great factors, he declared, making for
peace. The danger that suddenly in
famed public feeling will throw a ma
ton into war is growing less, he saidr
because the people are beginning to
see that war does not benefit them,
that they pay the taxes and shed the
blood and that II Is usually melted by
those who look for personal profits.
Preparation for war encourages war.
he added; those nations that spend
most Of their time getting ready for
war stand the best chance Of going to
war. He said 1t was possible to change
the ideal of the world, just as can be
done with an individual. and that the
ideal of peace would prevail through
out the entire world after q time.

While we cannot understand how 1t
is possible to make such a sweeping
cut in the tariff without bringing about
a readjustment that will bring about a
jar in the business world, still we are
inclined to think that IL this revision
bill goes through and fails to meet ex-
pectations, the tariff will cease to be-
come an issue in the future-that is af-
ter it has once more been revised on a
protective basis.

The dispatches from Mexico indicate

The dispatches from Mexico indicate
that the Huerta government, founded
on assassination, is being slowly press
ed to the wall. and that the Maderists
have generally grown more numerous
and aggressive than when Madero was
alive. We are unable to hope other
wise than that all this is true. There
is no good reason to dispute the fact
that Madero really stood for liberty
and that he was honest in his ambi-
ton to establish a new order Of things
in Mexico, and as far as he was able
to go, we believe he was right.

- Should war break out, the sympa-
thies of Australia, New Zealand and
Western Canada would be violently on
the side of the United States, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, Of London, in dis
cussing the California alien land own

considers that 1t would be grave mis-
take to under estimate the chances Of
conflict between the United States
and Japan. 1t says: The opinion that
the japanese will never go to war to
enforce their treaty rights in California
Is one of those dangerous generalities
which leads nations blindfold to the
brink Of the pit"
