The Requlation of Hou,iro

It is the belief of Englishmen. and we have in herited it, that ones house castle But if true at all it is only of the he lives in and not true of other house he may own. The feudal baron may have had many castles; the American or Englishman have but one
 This idea is developed by John H. wigmore dean of law in Northwestern University in an article on housing. the regulation of landlords by placing them under the control of public utility commissions That America needs laws that will remedy the serious housing situation is agreed. Thousands of families throughout this country homeless Certainly the state must regard 1t it's duty to provide them with homes reasonable rents. There is no more urgent need of the protection which government is SUD- posed to throw it's citizens It recognizes and has always recognized it's duty to protect them against the rapacity of the burglar or the bandit It is equally it's duty to protect them against all rapacity.
 Many of municipal governments have tried to afford this sort of protection laws passed by them have been found generally to be unfair to both landlords and tenants and many of them have been declared to be unconstitutional Mr. wigmore has prepared which he believes will stand the constitutional test and which will give the state control of the housing situation and yet give abso- lute justice to both the man who owns the house and the who rents it.

 This law would bring the tenant and the landlord directly the control of the state Either might appear before the commission and ask adjustment of rents and the commission might rule with one in one case and with the other in the next

c. Is the dachshund hunting dog What is its origin? c. M. s.
 A. The dachshund is a true hound and is used for hunting in Europe, es- pecially for getting foxes and other such animals out of holes, as it is a great digger, and its peculiar build en- ables it to go down a relatively small hole. It has an ecellent nose, and will trail rabbits, foxes and other game with great tenacity, but it Is little used for hunting in this country because il is hard to train and manage, paying lit tie attention to orders and doing as 1t pleases.

The RepubIiean and It's Friends

We cannot forbear expressing again appre- citation of what must regard as a community presson of friendliness toward The Republican in the attendance at the reception and the formal opening of home Monday night That was demonstration which must inspire The Republican to further effort to give service to community whole and to give a better paper to the members of it individuals
 We have labored assiduously to render such a service and that have in some measure succeeded, We believe evidenced in the volume of the at tendance at the reception.
 Curiosity to see the machinery and The Repub- lican's home no doubt was an incentive to many 10 come, but there also a manifestation by prac- ticaily all who of friendly interest in The Republican, more powerful than curiosity.
 The paper within the last seven years has been a financial success thanks to the appreciation of readers and that of the and we have earn estly tried to give both for measure. Both circulation and advertising have grown in volume and with rapidity far beyond our expectations In their growth has been reflected in a great measure the growth of the city and the community. but we think there has been pronounced reflection of the growth of individual and community confidence in The Republicans desire to be fair and service able
 There are certain rules evolved from universal experience for the conduct of newspapers and they cannot safely be deyiated from. There are many such rules some them fundamental and others re- iating to details. We have followed them as closely as possible. But every newspaper finds something in it's community different from what exists in any other community. to which it apply a rule of it's own.
 The newspaper is supposed to be something im- personal. a machine. either nicely or improperly adjusted But it is expected to work acceptaby if it s to succeed It is supposed to apart from the community without emotions of love, sympathy, an- tagonsrh hatred. It is supposed to be in touch with its clientele only through community organiza tion.
 The Republican though is in a different posi- ton For seven years it has had individual touch It has felt relationship to it's subscribers as indi- viduals and not merely as parts of tha mass of it's subscribers and its advertisers
 It is it's desire that this relationship may bs strengthened and extended.
