bad thing to let a dog bite a peddler.
The peddler stormed up to my door
a day or 30 after the event and in.
formed me that he had been In the hos.
pital a week, and that I must pay his
hospital expenses; also his Doctors
bill; also for. the time he had lost from
his vocation; also for the pants which
my dog had ruined.

HE was unable to deliver the goods,
SO 1t cost me nothing Still, 1t was a
narrow escape, and I decided that l
had better either acquire a lawyer or
get rid of the dog.
while / was bordering a man went
by all dressed up in a beetle-tailed
coat, with while gloves on like a pail
bearer ready to dance the tango, and
the dog fell for him. The apples in the
Garden of Eden didn't look near as
good to Adam as that man did to my
dog, and he got a chunk out Of the
black legs of that man.
"The tango danceS had a fiery dis
position, and what he proposed was
not to sue, but to lick the owner Of the
dog Immediately. This made me very
uncomfortable, indeed. l hid in the
cellar until the storm blew over.

that, and then he scratched up the

that we had to let him sleep in the

fleas and muddy feet, and all.

The Camera In War.

Reporting wars with amera is like
hunting big game with a Photographic
outfit. 1t gives US something we never
had before.
If Gettysburg were fought today the
camera would be on Cemetery ridge.
Perhaps the talking machine would
also be on hand to reproduce for the
world "the terrible grumble and rum
BILE and roar" Of a battle.
There would be a moving picture
worth looking at-flms Keeling off
Pickett's charge and the talking ma
chine records unrolling the crackle
Of 10000 rifles!
I wonder IL our Victor friends could
reproduce a sound as great as the
combined roar Of Lees and Meade's
300 and more cannon?
But even with the daring scouts
high in air taking photographs Of the
enemy's positions, and with cameras
and monographs reproducing battles
for ireside consumption, war finally
comes down to the same old game

The two factions have a common

clause, but will either faction

fote treaty and give the coastwise

people?
What has President Wilson done
that the republicans and progress
sives, if they were returned to
power would undo? What has he
left undone that they would do?
What has he done that they would
be likely to do better?
1t is always easier for a minority
to criticise than for a majority to
act, and it's a matter of record
that no administration since the
civil war has accomplished SO much
in an equal period of time as the
Wilson administration.
All the fundamental differences
in principle that existed between
the republicans and the p~rogressives
in 1912 exist now. These differ
ences "a be forgotten, but they
cannot be r, conciled. The only
basis for a compromise lies in the
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt is person.
ally stronger than any candidate
the republicans can name, and that
without the republican vote Mr..
Roosevelt's candidacy in 1916 would
be a farce.
Any compromise between the re-
publicans and the prngressives gets
back to the elementary question of
dividing the spoils. That must in
epitably be the great moral issue'
of a harmony campaign in which
the two factions are again united.

WHERE TO LOOK
FOR TROUBLE

Representative Mann, Republican
leader of the huuse thinks he wants
to fight the canal tolls issue all
owe sgain at the polls, but he will
reconsider and repent. Although
there are some parts of the United
States where ship subsidies might
carry an election now and then they
are not to be found in that section
of the continent which is politically
responsible for James R. Mann:
When the Republican party was
,Hannaized in 1896, some of ITS
leaders thought it would stand for
everything in the line of monopoly
privilege and bounties, but it would
not. 1t drew the line at ship SUBJ
sides, largely through the votes of
western congressman. The fact
that the subsidy idea appears this
time in the guise Of treaty break
ing jiukoism will not give it in
creased popularity.
If Mr.. Mann wants to know
where the next subsidy fights will
appear we will tell him. They will
break out in every Democratic con-
ventlon from now until 1916 in
which anybody ventures to defend
the men who by a trick at Balti-
more committed the party to a sub
sidy and who have since then had
the cheek to uphold it as Demo-
cratic doctrine. That is where the
