 The dog had suddenly turned out of the main road into a graSS-1nown lane. Half a. mile farther this open ed into another broad road. and the trail turned hard to the right in the direction of the town, which we had just quilted The road took sweep to the south of the town, and con- tinued in the opposite direction to that in which we started.
 '"This detour has been entirely for our benefit, then?" said Holmes ttNo wonder that my inquiries among those villages led to nothing. The doctor has certainly played the game for all it is worth, and one would like to know the reason for such ela- borate deception This should be the village of Trumpington to the right of us. And, by love! here is the brougham coming round the corner. Quick, Watson or we are donen'

 There could be no doubt that we had reached the end of our journey. Poinpey ran about and whined eager l ly outside the gate, where the marks of the brougham's wheels were still 1 to be seen- A footpath led across to l the lonely cottage. Holmes, tied the l dog to the hedge, and we hastened
 onvrards. My friend knocked at the i little rustic door, and knocked again l without response. And yet the cottage
 was not deserted, for a low sound 1 came to our ears-a kind of drone of
 misery and despair, which was in- describably melancholy. Holmes paused irreso1ute and then he glanc- ed back at the road which he had l just traversed. A brougham was | coming down 1t, and there could be | no ,nistaking those gray horses. "By love, the doctor is coming l baclk!' cried Holmes. That settles 1 it. We are bound to see what ii

 '.No, no, my dear fellow, there is this occasion the instrument of eviL but it will rather prove to be the key which will unlock our mystery On this syringe base all my hopes.

 'Never mind: Let him go. He I cannot follow him. When you have l finished come downstairs with me, and I will introduce you to a detective who is a very eminent specialist in the work that lies before us." When we descended I followed | Holmes into the stable yard, where he opened the door of a toose-box and led out a squat 1op-eared, white and-tan dog, something between a l beagle and a foXhound.
 Let me introduce you to Pompey," said he. 'Pompey is the pride of | the local draghounds-no very great | fher, as his build will show, but a | sstaunch hound on a scent Well, l POnlD6Y, you uIdy IiOI OS 1taSN, buS | expect you will be too fast for cou- ple of 1niddle-aged London gentlemen. | so I will take the liberty of fastening | this leather leash to your collar Now boy, come along, and show what you | can do.'

The purpose of this is to avoid the
political jockeying that is sometimes
carried on in the legislature through
an appropriation bill. John Jones &C
commodities William Smith by getting
into the bill an Appropriation desired
by Smith and Smith returns the favor
by getting into the Bill an appropria-
ton desired by Jones. AS a result
sometimes in the past when an ap-
preparation bill has reached the gov
ernor it has contained number of
obviously needless appropriations. But
in many instances the bill has gone to
the governor late in the session and
unless he was willing to stand the
expense Of an immediate extra session
for the purpose of putting another bill
through he could not veto the measure
because in so doing he not only would
kill useless appropriations but would
knock out many essential appropria-
lions.
In the last session Governor McCray
avoided any such situation as this by
insisting that the legislature complete
its delibera tons over the appEopria-
ton bill early in the session. Since
Governor McCray has started this
custom and since a budget law was
enacted by the last session the import
ance of the proposed constitutional
amendment in this instance is not so
great.
Affects County officers.
Another amendment would make
the terms of all county officers and all
state officers except Judges four years.
At present some of the terms are OF
two years duration. There is no valid
argument against this proposal.
An important amendment is the one
that provides that neither the term OF
Office nor the salary Of any officer
elected under the constitution or by
law shall be increased during the term
for which such officer was elected or
appointed There is a real need for
this constitutional change because it
would put an end TO lot OF salary
grab lobbying that goes on at every
session Of the Legislature. Had it not
been that Governor McGray insisted
on economy it is probable that the last

tration is cited as an example Of what
may happen. *s e.
Changes Selection.
Another amendment provides that
the ONCE OF state superintendent Of
public instruction shall be appointive
instead of elective as at present. In
favor of this amendment it is pointed
out that the state superintendent
should be an expert in his line and
that past experience in many states
has shown the futility Of attempting
to choose experts by the popular vote
route. The theory that an expert in
any line cannot be chosen in a salts
factory way by popular vote is indeed
one of the main arguments for the
city manager form of city government.
The equal suffrage amendment not
only constitutionally clinches the
right of suffrage now held by women
under the federal amendment, but ii
also would limit the franchise to cit
liens of the United States. Under the
constitution as it stands now an alien
may vote if he has declared his inten-
ton of becoming a citizen. 1t is hard
ly likely that there will be any argu-
ment over the advisability of this
proposed amendment
Classification of territory for voters
registration is the subject matter of
another amendment and under this
proposal it would be possible to re-
quire registration in some units while
emitting it in others. The ground for
this proposal is easily understood. 1t
is realized that in the crowded city
district every possible safeguard
should be thrown around the ballot
and that there can hardly be too much
checking and re-checking by means OF
the registration system. Such care
however is not necessary in the rural
districts where about every voter
knows every other voter in the pre-.
cinct. 1t is believed that by the adop-
ton of this amendment much money
would be saved and much inconven
fence that is now encountered would
be avoided.
Another amendment provides that
legislative apportionment Shall be
made on the basis of the vote fol

election instead Of on the basis of &
seXennial census. 1t would seem thai

legislature would have put through a
law increasing the salaries of county
commissioners all over Indiana.
Another amendment with which the
people are fairly familiar would
authorize the legislature to enact a
law providing for qualifications for
persons admitted to the practice of
Jaw. There can be no argument
against this amendment The best
argument in favor OF it is the trouble
that reputable lawyers and bar asso-
cations in every city have with
unscrupulous members Of the profess
slon-members who do not hesitate to
swindle an orphan or a widow if they

There are Is of the amendments. In
the description above it appears there
are only Ii but this is due to the fact
that providing for four year terms for
state and county officers requires
three amendments.
1t may be that some of the amend
ments listed are not of such great i'm
rortance but it should be borne in
mind as previously suggested that
action on these amendments may
head off constitutional convention.

ing their sheep, blooded and other
wise, to the slaughter house. Most
of them can do nothing else. They
have got to quit raising sheep and
raise something else, or take jobs.
One man recently sold his herd of
1000 sheep. He had no choice. He
could not sell his wool. He could
not stay in the sheep business and
continue to eat. So he sold his sheep
for about $2.10 a head. When all
expenses had been paid, he had about
35 cents a head for his sheep. This
was not profit 1t was his net re-
turn on sheep which it had cost him
nine or ten dollars head to raise.
He was a ruined man.
Sheep Being Slaughtered
And not only little herds like this
one, but large herds of 10 and 20
thousand sheep are being wiped out
of existence. 1t is this fact which
constitutes a crisis in the American
wool industry. The wool-grower is
the chief sufferer. But the whole
country will suffer if such valu-
able economic asset as its woll-grow-
ing industry is damaged as badly as
now seems inevitable.
1t is emphasized that the question
is no primarily a question OF tariff.
The vol situation is due to various
abnormal conditions which grew out
of the war. 1t is due to over-produc-
ton in this country, to the inability
Of Europe to buy wool, to an abnor-
rial rate of exchange. After these
abnormal conditions have passed, it is
admitted, there will be no more need
for a high tariff on wool than there
was before the war.
The one clear fact is that some.
thing ought to be done for the woe
industry at once. WHAT the wool in.
dustry faces, as Cleveland said, is 6
condition and not theory. The sit
uation seems to call, not for a dis
cussion of theories of free trade anc
protectionism, but for some promp
emergency action to keep all the
sheep from going to the slaughter
