Give the Dogs Drink!

In The Star the other afternoon was
a cartoon by Webster, one of his
'Life's Darkest Moment" series, which
had lesson in it. 1t showed dog
trotting along the street with dripping
mouth, and on the sidewalk were men
in state of excitement calling for the
police to shoot "mad dog" The cap
ton, which told the story, was
Thirsty" Many dog goes thirsty
at this time of year and suffers ter
ribly for lack of water. These dogs
are not mad. They are not dangerous.
They are simply in need of water,
whereas a mad dog, as the word "hy-
drophobia" denotes, fees from water.
There should be more provision for
quenching the thirst Of dogs. In for
eign cities dog drinking fountains are
provided, with little basins at the foot
of the public drinking fountains for
human beings. In England, where the
dog is highly respected, drinking dish
es are placed in front of stores and
Office buildings and kept filled for this
purpose. Dogs are licensed for keep
in this city, and are thus recognized
through law. They have right to live
and to be comfortable.
Give the dogs drink!

The Hyphen Again.

A meeting was held in New York the
other night to organize committee for
relief of distress in Germany and
Austria, and was attended by about
600 German Americans. The purpose
is to raise about $35 900 for sup
plies to be bought in this country and
distributed through the German Red
Cross. The business Of the meeting,
which was held by permission Of the
Department of State, was completed
according to schedule, but certain
things happened that were not, it is
stated, to the liking of those who are
promoting the movement. Some Of the
speakers who addressed the meeting
lapsing into the German speech from
English-praised Germany, declared
that the German spirit Is not dead and
will never die, and urged that what
America needs is German propaganda,
German education and German 1ul-
tur."
Those who were present, it is re-
ported, wildly applauded these senti-
ments. The officers Of the meeting
tried to restrain some Of the speakers
who went far in the denunciations Of
the American press. But the spirit Of
the meeting was manifestly pro.Ger-
man, and, despite a formal avowal Of
loyalty to the adopted country, hos
tile to America.
There will doubtless be much of
this sort of thing in certain parts Of
the country where German Americans
are numerous, when the restraint of
war time law has been removed. It will
not be matter of law, but matter
of good taste, and unfortunately there
are many German Americans who lack
in that quality and do not appreciate
the intensity Of the average American
feeling against Germany and all
things German. Any reaction from
the repression Of the last two years
and quarter into the native AFRO
gance will bear 1amentab1y upon the
mass of the German American people
who are not uniformly imbued with
this unfortunate spirit. The 600 who
attended last nights meeting in New
York were probably mot representa-
tive. Certainly such manifestations
will not make easy the lot of the
hyphenated citizen in this country.

Are not legislators and executives. SO
familiar with them, either from their
own experience, or from reading of
the experience of others, that they dis
count them whenever they appear :
Are important measures ever put
through Congress on the strength Of
syndicate support, or criminals par
doned on the strength of syndicated
sympathy
1t is to be doubted. The trick is
getting old. 1t has become shopworn
and discredited. Everybody knows
how it is turned. Many help turn it,
much against their will and judgment.
1t is not an easy matter to deny re-
quest for such assistance when pre-
ferred by an old friend or a good fell
low. The only hope such person can
entertain is that the petition will
reach the hand of an official who
knows how such documents are pre-
pared, and will know what to do
with it.
There is no right so often abused
as the right of petition. Sacred, of
course, and deservedly so, it should
always be exercised properly and in
conscience.
But in times of great stress, with
many interests involved and many
conflicting, this right is frequently en-
ployed in most extraordinary fashion.
Senators and representatives, with all
their experience, and accessible to all,
must be a trif1e puzzled at times at
the persistency and ingenuity shown in
behalf of measures presented to them
for their official consideration. They
might, from the appeals made, sup
pose the whole country rocking with
interest in matter, when, as fact,
the interest is confined to one place,
and is being shrewdly and widely dis
tributed from there.

Washington and the Conventions.

A movement is under way among
the business men Of Washington to re-
store Washington to the convention
map. During the war, when the con-
gestion in the capital was serious, ma
tional gatherings of all kinds were
avoided. Invitations to meet here were
cancelled, and several Of the largest Of
the annual assemblages in 1917 and
1918 that were booked for the capital
were held elsewhere. Now that the
hotels are back to normal there is no
reason why Washington should not be

ings It is the natural convention city,

POLITICS AT HOME
Virginia and the Presidency.

Secretary Glass is the subject of
praise at home that must be very
gratifying. Some of his friends pro-
pose him for governor. Others pro-
pose him for President.
Mr.. Glass is sixty-one. He is "well
fixed," and can afford Office. He has
shown aptitude in Office for public
business. He served eighteen years in
the House; and it was the record he
had made in that body on financial
questions that picked him out for the
place he is now filing.
It has been long time since Vir
ginian, by popular decree, carried the
latchkey to the White House-ninety-
four years. James Monroe finished his
second term March 4, 1925.
John Tyler carried the key at later
day, but by the decree of death. AS
Vice President he inherited it from
his chief.
William Henry Harrison and Zachary
Taylor were Virginia-born, but made
their regulations elsewhere. Harrison
was an Ohioan and Taylor Kentuck-
ian when elected President. Both were
Emilitary heroes, and died in Office.
Woodrow Wilson is Virginia-born,
but made his reputation elsewhere.
He was New Jerseys candidate at Bal
timore in 1912, and in politics is a
Jerseyman.
Virginia, then, has been a long time
out of the running, and particularly
when it is remembered that of the
first five Presidents she furnished four
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe. 1t was thus she achieved the
sobriquet of "Mother of Presidents -
She has not lacked during the long
period for men worthy of the Office.
On the contrary, she has produced
many men who have served the coun-
try well in very high places, and would
have served we'll in the highest place.
But the middle country and New York
came to the front and took the su-
premaey.
Since the civil war Virginia has paid
the same penalty that has attached
to her sister southern states. She has
not figured in the presidential equa-
ton. She has presented no candidate
for presidential nomination, content
ing herself with supporting nominees
from other states, and sharing in the
spoils when they have been successful.
But the civil war is far behind US
now, and the south is beginning to
take notice for her own at democratic
national conventions. Missouri pre-
sented Mr.. Clark and Alabama Mr.. Un-
derwood at Baltimore seven years ago !;
and both of those men will be pre-
sented again next year if Mr.. Wilson
is not presented for another nomina.

Why, then, should not the Old Do
minion "eome agsin"f Why should
not she present Mr.. Glass, and ask con-
sideration for him as one who has
shown in high public station, as have

nation very soon.
As are others, he may be waiting de-
velopments in the case of Mr.. Wilson.
The Wilson boom is like q lion in the
path. All other booms are eyeing it
with curiosity and anxiety.
And then there is the Hitchcock
boom. Nebraska could not expect con-
sideration for two candidates. If she
presents a candidate, will it be Mr..
Bryan or the senatorf She has shown
appreciation of both-has honored
both with Office.
If Mr.. Bryan announces, he may find
it necessary to explain his break with
the President. His retirement from
the cabinet caused surprise, and is still
occasionally the subject of speculation.
The two men were cordial at parting.
Mr.. Bryan gave tho President his
blessing, and the President gave Mr..
Bryan good wishes for the future. Still
the public has never felt that it un
derstood the matter, and curiosity
might tempt the asking of questions
in the event of Mr.. Bryan's asking for
a fourth try at the presidency.
Then as to the national convention.
With Mr.. Wilson out, it is not sup
posable that any aspirant for the
nomination will so dominate the con
vention - to be lifted above the ne
cessity for combinations. To whom
would Mr.. Bryan in straits turn for
helps
Not to the McAdoo men, for they
will have an administration connec-
ton, and the administration is not fond
Of Mr.. Bryan.
Not to the Clark men, for they have
never forgotten or forgiven the cpl
sode at Baltimore. That, as they con-
slider, kept Mr.. Clark out Of the White
House. The year was a democratic
year, through the folly of the repub-
licans in dividing their forces, and the
Baltimore nomination meant success at
the polls. Mr.. Bryan turned the Clark
tide when it was approaching the full,
and Mr.. Wilson profited.
Not to the Underwood men, or to
the Marshall men, for he would not
have special claims upon either.
Nevertheless, If Mr.. Bryan is an en-
trant in next years race for the demo
cratic nomination he will add to the
gsyety Of the national convention.
With all Of his reverses, and the an
tagonisn that twenty three years of
activities have produced, he remains a
very interesting and measurably popu-
lar man and those who still believe in
and adhere to him are we'll distributed
over the south, the west, the north
