The State Primary Law.

A dispatch from Frankfort says
it is anticipated that scores of
amendments TO the State Primary
Law will be offered in the next
General Assembly.
The dispatch goes on to say the
law contains "ambiguities, boil.
potent and latent, that will have
TO be Strengthened out" Also the
candidates are practically unani-
m )us in favor of change of date,
some proposing a time as late as
October l."
There can be no doubt that the
law as it now stands is in need of
amendment. If the amending is
intclligently done the changes will
be welcomed. As for the date of
the primary, it migh' be changed
TO advantage. Midsummer is not
the most favorable time for o
political canvass. An earlier or a
later date would be more salts
factory from the standpoint of the
rural voters.
The State Primary is move in
the right direction. The law un-
der which it is held is somewhat
crude, as it embraces provisions
from two or more bills that we're
offered on the subject. Consider
ing that il is obscure in some re-
spects and not easily understood,
the first primary held under it has
been conducted very successfully.
IL has in it enough of merit to
overbalance its defects, and, with
some skillful mending and amend
ing, it should better fulfill the pur-
pose for which it was intended.
The danger is that if scores of

charge Of allowing a dog to howl,
thereby creating a nuisance. In iim-
posing the fine, Deputy Judge JOS
lyn said It was an unpleasant duty
as he knew Dr. Harris very we'll. The
evidence. the court said, was against
the doctor. After being fined DR..
Harris asked the court what was con-
sidered a reasonable time to get rid
of six bird dogs which his neighbors
had complained Of. Deputy Judge
Joslyn said the court never advised
in cases, but he suggested that ten
days would be reasonable time in
which to find a place for the dogs
When arraigned the defendant
pleaded not guilty. Mahlon Belts, Of
No. 600 Adams street. said the dogs
kept by Dr. Harris made sleep inn
possible for him because Of their
barking This was at all hours Of
