THAT DOVER ROW

OUR brethren in Dover, of the Index
- and the State News, have kicked
up big row over the morals of their
town-in fact, have aired such guam
tity of soiled linen that the whole state
is shifting it.
AS if the hammer and tongs scrap be-
tween these two journals were not
enough, an anonymous circular was
spread all over town last Friday, that
set the whole community by the ears.
Charges Of various kinds are being
freely made, they say, both in this cir
cular and in the press, against Certain
officials, till something like social pan
demonium must be prevailing in the
Capital town.
This stabbing in the dark with IN
signed circulars is seldom proper; the
better plan is to formulate precise
charges, naming the offence and the
offender, and then let the truth or
falsity of the charges clearly appear.
The present tactics arouse faction and
bitterness, and never get anywhere.

The reason why most people think
that cats are not affectionate is be-
cause they fail to understand cats
method of expression. They assume
that a cat must have the same tech
nique of affection that a dog has. Be
cause cat does not wag his tail and
jump up and down On ones knees, he
is assumed to be lacking in feeling.
Cats often like to have their backs
stroked, but this is put down by
cynics to pure selfishness. The truth
is that cats scorn the ordinary
demonstrations. Their sentiments are
on higher scale. They give human
beings credit for a finer sense of
sentimental values than we really
have. A cat considers that the high
est compliment he can pay his owner
is to remain near in long silences.
What greater tribute than that can
there be to genuine companionship?
