~ New York's dog-muzsling
law went into effect, with
the object of stamping out hydro
phobia. The results have been're-
markable. They show conclu-
sively that the Health Depart
ment, which was bitterly assailed
In certain quarters for enforcing
the law, was entirely right, and
that the way to stop the horrors
OF rabies is to stop dogs from bit
Ing people.
1t is now suggested to the Health
Board by Mr.. James G.. Rossman.
Of the Dog Lovers Association, that
toy dogs" that Is TO say dogs
weighing not more than twelve or
fifteen pounds, should be exempt
from the muzzling-law provided
they were under the control of the
owner or attendant while in public
places on leash not exceeding
four feet in length, and provided
that the owner obtained a permit
from the Board Of Health, In the
same way as individuals are re-
quired to obtain permits to carry
pistols, and such permits or
special tag is attached to the dogs
lesh.
DR.. Goldwater has acquiesced in
this general idea and only the de-
tails remained to be worked out.
For this purpose. a representative
comnfttee,- consisting of seven
members, is TO be appointed by
various organizations to take up
the matter with the commission
and the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
1t Is hard TO see the intelligence
or logic of this backward step by
the Health authorities 4 dog on
leash is able TO bite as often as
he feels like il on the crowded side
walks OF the city. This point has
already been raised and answered
by. the courts. To split hairs and
discriminate between dogs-to muz-

A few figures will suffice to tell
the whole story In 1914, before
the muzzling law went into effect,

hydrophobia, occurred In New
York. all resulting fatally. Dur.
Ing the past year. after the muz-

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL g 1915.
THE FIFTEENTH COUNCIL

Now that the fifteenth Common Coun- cil has been duly ushered into office we can in all probability resume the even tenor of our ways and once more devote ourselves 10 the contemplation of the European imbroglio. the Mexi- can situation or the Wilsonian policies together with other matters of minor importance, all of which have been of late more or less in obeyance to the all absorbing question of who will run the city.
 The recurrent storm raised by the annual election will soon vanish from the minds of all save perhaps those disgruntled ones who failed to get q cut of the political pie and from some of whom we may yet expect to hear a yelp or two, but for the rest of us, we can now figuratively sit back in peace, secure in the Knowledge that the city is in sane and reasonable hands and will in all probability be at least as well managed as in previous years.
 In the matter of filling the appointive offices the new council has already dis played excellent judgement and it is reasonable to assume that equally good judgement will be shown in the ap- pointments yet in abeyance. Also the same good Judgement manifested so far may be taken as an indication that handling of the many veXing problems of income and expenditure with which the new body will be confronted before the expiration of their term of office.
 The necessary tax equalization will in itself furnish a trying task to the new city fathers and one in which they can employ their best efforts to the credit of themselves and the benefit of the community. The question of economy will also be one of the paramount mat ters for consideration and while the in elination already displayed by the coun- cii in this regard may not meet with universal approval it may be well to re- member that the needs must be fitted to the occasion. so to speak. and the slenderness of the city poke. may in a great measure. be considered by the council as justlfying their action.
 Personally We do not view the matter in that light and would earnestly de- plore further curtailment along the same line but at the same time il is considered that the council probably as- sumes the view that such economy is necessary and while their initial effort may be in the wrong direction it is believed that the error will ultimately disclose itself to their perception and will let us hope. be remedied.
 Aside from this it is considered that the new body will, if they care to seek, find many opportunities for the express sion of their saving inclination in

THE AMERICAN STATEMENT
 OF NEUTRALITY

The United States government has, taken the wise and honorable course of laying down the principles which gov ern it's policy of neutrality in state paper of arresting power Not content with theoretical and academic eNposi- tions. this state paper deals with the actual cases in clear and convincing manner: and it will he difficult after this for any criticism of the practical details of that policy. though it be made in GMmanv." with ten times the usual skill of that people, to make much headway among the thinking people of the American republic.
 Ii should never be forgotten that the the American government is in a very unusual and delicate position in this war IL is not only q democratic gov ernment. securing it's powers of gov ernment wholly from the consent of the governed" but it must secure these powers from the most diverse and CO.,
 mingled community in the world
 l Consequently the American executive l is bound to justify himself not only or
 even chiefly to the embattled powers 1 but to the different and differing sec
 tions of it's own people. This is prac-
 tically an unparalleled experience for a
 great neutral government. Italy has only to please and satisfy Italians. Roumania is looking after the Vrile
 and alert Roumanian race-and no other But the American government
 must reckon among it's supporters and iudges--men of British and Ger
 man blood. and racial representatives
 of every flag under fire. This is why
 this document is prepared and present
 ed to the American people. They are
 the real critics of American policy mot. as is usual the diplomats of foreign
 capitals
 This state paper sets out to show
 that the American government has sought-not to keep a tally of the blows struck now on this side and now on that with a view of making them balance-but to strictly obey the letter and the spirit of the law of neutrality without much reference to conse- quences They will permit the sale of arms whoever is in position to buy ]
 censor wireless telegraphy but not
 cable communications, because the bel ligerants can protect themselves
 against the latter by simply cutting the cables, while they dare not interfere
 with wireless station on a neutral
 coast They will protect the rights of
 neutral shipping, and try to whittle
 down the exceptions as to contraband. And so it goes. One side suffers at
 one point. and the other at another.
 But that is none of the business or con
 cern of the American government
 This is neutrality isolated in a non . sympathetic vacuum; and we must ac- cept this as the ideal of the present American government We might have liked a greater readiness to protest on moral grounds against violations of in- Iternational law and usage: but if the Americans themselves propose to aban-
 don their dazzling opportunities in this
 regard We cannot do more than mourn

DETROIT. June 23-Hughey Jen-
nings has about decided that he will
not need the three college twirlers
signed up this spring. These men are
Regan, of Cornell; Ferguson, of Mich
igan, and Koob. of Kalamazoo Col
lege. Hughey does not know anything
about the Koob transaction except
what he has seen in the papers Reg
an, the Ithica wonder, has been offer
ed to Bill Donovan for his New
York club, and William is thinking II
over. Hughey cannot see Ferguson
at all
IF turn all these college wonders
loose in the American League they
will make the game too one-sided'
says Jennings. "They never strike
out less than IS or 90 men in a game.
and that would rob the contests of all
interest Besides, Cobb and Crawford
and Veach and Bush and the rest Of
the players would catch cold stand
ing around with nothing to do all

ORGANIZED BALL
FACES REVOLUTION
Heads Must Step in and
Rearrange Matters,
Experts Believe
SEE BUT TWO
LEAGUES IN FUTURE

Baseball, in its organized form. is
on the eve of a revolution. The busi-
ness has reached a stage which has
compelled the real heads of the game
to step in and strive to re-arranee
matters and clear away the deterrins
influences.
Before next winter is over at least
six Of the present owners of clubs. or
rather heads of clubs will be out of
the major leagues. and Two leagues
will remain. A new national agree
ment will betin effect, greater rights
and privileges will be given the minor
leagues. and the magnates helieve the
power of the players fraternity will
be broken, says Hugh S. Fullerton.
These are not predictions, he af-
firms They are the claims of men who
are now trying to straighten cut the
kinks and tangles.
st. Louis will have two clubs. Chi
cago. New York. philadelphia and
Boston. two each. Baltimore, and
probably Buffalo will be included in a
10-club league which shall be the
combine of the Federal and National
Leagues.
Oddly enough there is liable to be a
big argument before they can decide
whether the new league shall be call
ed the National or the Federal League.
One important feaiure of the move
to reform the entire business is that
the national commission will lie
changed and the minors will Se repre-
sented on it, Probably four of the
minor leagues will be raised in rank
and the burden Of the draft will be
lightened through all the small
leagues.
There is a determination among the
promoters os the scheme to crush the
layers union as one of the first steps
in restoring old conditions.
The significant feature of the entire
program is that several men who
heretofore have been central figures
in baseball have been utterly ignored
in the negotiations and probably will
be.
Two prominent men have been
scurrying around the country trying
to find out what is in the wind aud
although they are hig stockholders
they have not been taken into the
plans at all When they are il prob
ably will be merely - ask them their
figure TO sell out and il they do not
sell they will find their holdings re-
duced in value to a small portion of
what 1t now is.
