Dispatches Tor several Gays have in
Dictated that the decisive battle on the
eastern front has been developing IN
the region of Cracow. Military experts
Of Petrograd, Berlin and London have
explained that the chief purpose OF the
German advance on Warsaw was to
force the Russians to let up in their
campaign in Galicia and Hungary.
Germany Is not 50 much in danger from
9 direct invasion from Poland as Il Is
from collapse of the Austrian defense
and a Russian advance from Galicia-
So Field Marshal ven Hindenburg has
endeavored to force the cars forces
to come nortilward to defend their own
lands and give Austria a breathing
spell. 1t is the same strategy as was
employed by General Joffre when he
forced the battle line away from Paris
and into southern Belgium by con-
stantly attacking the German right
flank In that field, But apparently the
Russians have not been turned from
their purpose They have retreated in

exists. Rich man. poor man. beggar
man, thief. each has his dog, beloved
with or without reason or against all
reason And nine out Of ten win fight
for that dog. Why? Nobody knows.
It IL condition and not theory.
Then that absurd provision OF
$1,000 for a dog! How does this West
virginian suppose that family With
OUT bread or coal in the house can fur
nish bond for one dog let alone three
or four? Also IL the dog is to be
muzzled how can the animal gain
sustenance at back doors and from
Stop pals. How could 1t carry a bone.
WHY increase the burdens of so many
families already overburdened with
children by forcing dog feeding al
home? Why it might come to TINS:
That they couldn't keep dog more
than six months out Of the year. II
is class legislation pure and simple.
Are only the rich to know the S"ee'
companionship of mans most faith

dog under the cook stove? Perish the
thought.
Ye, a ray of hope breaks thru the
murk of the West Virginia bill Inc

for the average deg. AT that price a
dog scalp industry looms on the near
horizon. The dog is prolific. Given a
sufficient number of the right KIND OF

POOR MR.. voLLMER.

When the prohibition question was
before the house Congressman Vollmer
made 6 speech against the Hobson res
olution. This speech stirred the Second
district Editors commented upon It
VI inisters touched upon 1t in their SER

was quite a speech and that tho in the
midst of oceans OF temperance and
anti-.em perance oratory even Wash
ina ;ess paused 10 listen to the golden
stream OF words which flowed from
Henrys lips.
How vain a dream was ours.
Once before Henry made a Won
derfu, speech. That time, we have
been told Washington mostly
laughed"
This time. II seems, not even laugh
ter followed in the train Of Henrys
efforts.
The Temperance society of the Meth

rese arch and news department.. This
department. has just sent out a bulletin
showing How the congressman voted
on the Hobson prohibition resolution"

by states showing whether they were

The Iowa group is given thus:
For: Kennedy, Haugen. Good

lDeS MONIES lElDune.J
The apologists for the kind Of men
who resent the Interference with their
personal liberty for which the Mann
white slave act is responsible, are quot
ing with approval the following from
the Oshkosh Northwestern:
Restriction OF csmmercialized vice Is
a question which the federal govern
ment may very properly attempt to
handle. but it Is neither wise nor logical
for the general government to UNDER
take to control Individual conduct and
individual morals.
This raises legitimate question for
discussion. While national prohibition
is under consideration and seems inn
minent it may be possible to gain
sympathy for the state rights doctrine
of restricting legislation on all other
moral questions to the states. but 1t Is
a curious situation when leaders Of
public sentiment become apologists for
the particular kind of immortality with
which the Mann law seems to have
interfered.
Indeed. why should it be regarded as
illogical for the federal. more than any
other form of government. to control
individual morals" when y means
merely the restriction Of individual inn
morality?

ANEW DOC AND FIGHT INDUSTRY.

A bill prepared for submission to the
West Virginia legislature is recon-
mended by a farm journal as ''docu-
ment Of great interest" to other state
assemblies. In a way it is an inter-
esting document and contains posi-
bilities Of trouble that make a saloon
petition look like a commandment to
love one another. The bill provides
that,
Every owner Of dog shall give
bond in the sum of a thousand dollars
to pay any damages done by the AMI
NAL; that no dog shall run al large
without a muzzle, except dogs holding
a certificate signed by three free
holders who are engaged in farming or
etock-raisfng, to the effect that the
animal is harmless, Trustworthy, and
of value for stock or hunting purposes,
and then he may run at large only
when actually in use On the owners
land or on other lands by and with the
consent Of the owner Of the lands
given in writing. or when actually 60
ing or coming on the dogs regular
business OF hunting or caring for stock,
but even then. If the dog does any
damage, the owner is liable on his
bond; that every dog shall wear his
owners name and address on a collar;
that dogs running at large is viola ton
may be killed by anyone. and a bounty
Of S. will be paid out of the public
treasury for the scafps of such dogs;
that every dog shall be valued as per-
sonal property, and dogs legally kept
shall be paid for ct their assessed vaiu-
alton by anyone destroying them"
Line fences. stray calves and cattle
in the corn have from time immemoriai
been provocative OF bloody noses and
drawn out litigation. but the West
Virginia dog bill promises fair above
all those as an incentive to mobuiza-
ton and invasion. For man Will fight

FARMERS GAME OF LEAPFROG
fWallace's F,armer.l

We all remember how, when boys,
we used to play leapfrog at school. II
was a great game. The school game
did not last long. for we got too big for
1t, even before school days were over.
The farmers of the United States have
been playing q great game Of lesapfrog.
and it has lasted long, more than sew.
enty-five years. The farmers OF Penn
sylvania moved into Ohio. or, as 1t
was called in our boyhood days. the
Ohio" As land advanced In price, or
their children needed land. they
jumped 70 Indiana, from Indiana TO IL
linois, from Illinois to Iowa, from Iowa
to Nebraska and Kansas, and then out
into the semi-arid country. A good
many of them jumped back from there
as they did more or less in all the
previous jumpings. Then they jumped
on into the irrigated sections or TO the
Pacific coast.
When Uncle Sam was rich enough
to give us all farm, the great major
fty OF the farmers quit farming and
went to mining. They bought or en-
tered or squatted on an eighty or O
quarter section, put UP temporary
houses, skinned" the land, as they
called it, or skinned the cream off 1t.
If they met with misfortune, they gave
q mortgage, and later sold the farm to
a near neighbor, who took their houses
for cattle sheds or pig pens, and they
took q new piece OF land farther west.
Altho we have some years ago
reached the limit of good land with
good subsoil, and watered by the rain
from heaven In reliable quantities. we
have not ceased to Jump. but have SIM
ply changed the direction. Thousands
Of farmers in the corn belt nave
jumped over into Canada. Some VI
them are jumping back with less money
in their pockets than they took with
them. This is usually the case. 1t IL
no discredt to country that some
people don't like it, and won't live In
it. and go back to their folks. But
when the majority, or even large
minority, begin to jump back, then II
is time to inquire where we can safely
Jump.
In the very nature OF things. theirs
can not be any real farming az hong -
/. man thinks there Il somewhefe else
where he can do better. The farmers
business il not like that Of some man
