YOU WILL BE A DOG CATCHER.


In signing the new dog license law
Governor Philip attached a memo
randa that while he agrees that own
ers of sheep are entitled to every pro-
lection, he thinks the new law is I'M
necessarily severe. The law places
the license as high IS SIS, and means
the determination of hundreds of dogs.
Sheep raisers have been trying for
years to get dog license. The law
provides a tax of So on male dogs and
SIS on females. This in no way effects
local license and in such cases a
double license is to be secured. The
law takes effect July /, 1920. Owners
of dogs are to be subjected to "third
degree examination by assessors, who
are to compile an accurate census OF
dogs in their districts. They are to
receive 20 cents for each dog listed
Every person is deputized as a "dog
catcher" by the law. Any dog with
out license tag that is injured or de-
stroyed shall be presumed to be IN
licensed. Any person is empowered
to kill a dog found worrying any do
nestle animal. officers are to re-
ceive fee of ST. each for impOunding
or killing unlicensed dogs. If dog
unlicensed, is found in ones yard he
must chase him Que at once as the
la v makes it unlawful to permit an
illegal" dog to loiter on ones prem
Uses. Between sunset and sunrise ev-
cry dog must either be confined OF
accompanied by its owner, as the law
provides that dogs found at large af-
ter dark, whether licensed or not, car
be disposed Of. A penalty of from
SIS to $50 is to be imposed upon VIC
lators of the law.

Then they are called 10 the decks.
The soft night winds brush coolly
against their cheeks and the rwinkling

below stir up all the chords Of won

They are intoxicated with the JOY Of

all the while the giant ship glides Sc

the United States government has even

ply is prominently concerned. as bv
pictures better than by mere sketches
may an aviator recognize his posi-

terested for the reason that II soon
expects TO establish mail routes. How
ever. this would call for the use OF air

the evidence is that President Will
son "rides upon the storm" "The
Sun" warns as follows:
"The secrecy with which the Presi-
dent has surrounded this singular en-
terprise Of his self-directed diplomacy
obviously renders discussion of the
details of his scheme impossible.
There is, however, one thing which
must constantly be horne in mind
when the ultimate consequences of
this or any other proposed alliance
are under consideration. This is the
ract that the Constitution reposes in
the Congress the exclusive power to
declare war, In this power the Chief
Executive has no share, The Presi-
dent cannot declare war, nor can he
compel the CongFess to declare war"
"Manifestly such an alliance al that
to which the American correspondence
In Paris report Mr., Wilson al having
given His adherence must be expresaet
In treaty, and that treaty must, ia
have any force, be approved by the
eehate' hut eveh though such a treaty

the other mysteries which mark the

"The Boston Transcript" was in
agreement that patient and long
suffering as the American people
may be, Congress will have the last
word. It wrote:
what have we here? Another
alliance outside the league of nations?
The American people have been told
for the last thirty days or more that
alliances were repugnant to the spirit
OF tho proposed league Of nations and
that it was to do away with alliances
That tho Smuts-Wilson scheme, set
forth in the so-called covenant was
