WELLS on THE RAMPAGE.

THERE is Independent writer today than

his in hand he writes something that stimulates to
Thought If not to bitter discussion Just at present
novel Of his is being serial form that is bound
ito provoke much argument both sides OF the Allan
tic. It will do especially England where despite
its essential democracy the country st retains the
gilded hgurehead OF kingshp and where despite re-
ligious tolerance the established church sun retains
its great power and privileges
For Wells is procaimng in this new piece Of fiction
that out Of this will an era OF republics and
OF religion that will transcend tho narrow con-
fines OF creed.
Wells tried 10 project himself into space and view
this our world from affair In this frame OF mind he is
optimistic rather than pessimst lie secs an end TO
kings and thrones No will a few dynasts be able
to say whether the world shall plunged into bloody
war or remain in blessed peace The peoples will take
unto themselves the power and the government
In the same way he has a vision Of what is coming
IN the religious field. There will not be less BELIEF in
Cod but more However, he advances the theory that
the new belief in God will allow itself to be con-
nned TO sects and creeds It will be something bigger
something broader, something more tolerant something

despair OF that hoped-for contamination. They must

They must often sit down and figure how Germany

In tho world. They learn OF ammunition and supplies

armies which are st being reponshed by fresh drafts

possible to defeat the brutal force that was ever

From every standpoint there is
need for readjustment in the atti-
tude Of the State toward the dog.
IN the face OF overwhelming evidence
OF the national waste Sustained
through the dog there Is the greatest
reluctance manifested by Slate and
national legislators to removing the
incubus by taxing out OF existence
every dog that isn't worth a good stiff
tax. Scant welcome is given in some
quarters 70 a proposition to put a tax
Of even 81 a head on the dogs of the
country. and yet. with their estimated
25,000,000 in numbers. tax OF this
modest size. If made war measure,
would yield a sorely-needed additional
revenue Of S50,0O0,O0O a year.
The situation, however, really calls
for a tax so heavy as to wipe out a
large part of this too numerous pack,
for beneficial considerations apart
from the revenue that might be de-
rived from the dogs that survive.
There cannot be successful sheep
raising where there is unrestricted
raising OF dogs, and the world neces-
sity for food and clothing cannot be
met without the unhampered produc-
ton of all the fleece bearing, mutton
| yielding animals that the sheep rails.
ers OF the country can bring to mar

less cur may we'll mean the loss OF
woman or child through starvation
in Belgium or France Also, the dog
further operates to lessen the food
supply by lettering the stoclfman
from entering into sheep raising
either at all or to the extent he other
wise would.
Again, the upkeep Of the dog is an
enormous drain on the food supply OF
the nation. It has been estimated that
II costs an aVnrarn OF S2h q hnnd nnI

annum for the food OF the dog. As
this is less thnn 20 cents week per
dog, the figure Is doubtless not much
too high. considering the millions OF
pet do-s whose maintainence cost is
much beyond that. This, however,
totals for the year the enormous ag-
gregste of $S75, 1000, 600 that must 80
to feed the American dOgs-a sum
sufficient to Danish starvation from
a large portion OF the war-swept na
tions OF the Old World. In Europe
children are being saved from star
walton at a cost OF 10 cents a day
each, or S35 a year. The maintain
ence OF a dog is therefore costing as
much per year as the life OF child.
The difficulty in arousing popular
appreciation of the facts in the case
lies in society's attitude toward the
dog. Adopting the ancient Egyptian
rather than the old Israelitish view
point, there IS a prevalent disposition
to look on the dog as something sa-
cred; to regard legislation against
the dog as worse than inhuman and
to brand as devoid OF finer feeling

Cornell, as usual, ran away with the

Syracuse, winner of the Poughkeep-

Columbia was the winner of the in

college captured more than one title.
This has not been the case in
most other years. Pittsburgh won In

Perhaps the most popular perform
ance of the year was that of Yale In
football. The blue came back with u
vengeance, defeating both Harvard and
Princeton. its ancient rivals, for the
first time In many years. The advent
of Tad Jones as Yale's coach was,
therefore, an suspicious event for the
New Haven contingent. Despite Yale's
success, Pittsburgh had the best claim
to the championship title. Pittsburgh,
which went through the season with
out a defeat and met some formidable
opposition, complied an impressive rec
ord and was considered the champion
by most experts.
In baseball Harvard was generally

teams. of higher caliber.
