Watch Dogs.

Some correspondents in out-of-town
newspapers have been discussing a
statement recently made by the Ma
tional Bureau Of Casualty and Safety
Underwriters that dogs are valuable
as property custodians. Many years
ago Robert Pinkerton, the detective,
said that a small dog inside the house
was worth his meat and bones as a
home protector. It is a question that
is interesting to men and ought to be
interesting to dogs. There is a gen.
eral belief that an inside dog is a good
burglar alarm. He seems to be light
sleeper, and no matter how serene his
repose he keeps at least one ear open.
He seems to be burglar-proof. But
there is a question as to his sense Of
discrimination between a burglar and
non-burgiar. Perhaps the dog rea-
sons that he will take no chances and
will put the household and the neigh
borhcod on guard more often than de-
sirable. He may turn IN several false
alarms, but this shows that he 10

burglar, no peaceful citizen, no wan.
dering cat, can approach the house
without setting off the burglar alarm.
The casualty and safety under
writer's said that an inside dog was
moro nearly burglar proof than an
outside watchdog. They pointed out
that the outside dog would die at his
post Of duty, and that the burglars
would pass Thermopylae over the re-
mains of Leonidas. while the inside
dog sent forth his barsSs from within
his castle. 1t was also said that the
outside watchdog might be brihed with
kind words. That may be true In some
instances. but there are outside watch.
dogs on duty in the District that only
a very bold and brave burglar would
approach with kind words. 1t Is said
that to err Is human. but dogs also
make mistakes. A recent dispatch
told Of a stalwart watchdog that. held
off a gang Of burglars until the po-
lice arrived, and then attacked the
police. That happened at New York.
The dog, may have wanted all the
medals and promotion for making the
arrests, or he may have had some
trouble in differentIating between bur.
glars and New York policemen;

A Ball Park Convention.

New York, accustomed to doing
things on the biggest possible scale.
now wants TO hold at least one of the
sessions of the national democratic
convention, which il captured" last
week with a big check, in an open
space, so that the greatest crowd in
the history OF American politics can
see the wheels go round" 1t is pro.
posed that the convention sit for a day
in one of the base ball parks, with the
gates thrown open for the public. One
report has IT that members of the ma
tionaI committee are enthusiastic over
the plan.
Usually at these big political nom.
mating meetings admission to the gal.
leries Is by card. Several thousand
people throng the spaces allotted to
the public. There is lively competi,
tion for admittance. Tickets are doled
out to delegations and are distributed
as rich favors. Cheering sections"
are organized in specific interests. II
is figured that even with the seating
capacity OF Madison Square Garden
increased to 10000 there will be an
overwhelming demand that cannot be
met. Hence the suggestion Of a ball
park.
But even the larger OF the two big
parks would not accommodate the peo.
pie IL such move were made. Wit.
ness the crowds at the world series
games. Tens Of thousands are turned
away for lack OF room. And every
person presents himself with cash in
hand, eager to pay. What would hap
pen II a free show were offered? The
entire police force OF New York city
reinforced by state troopers and per
haps even by federal soldiers, would
be needed to maintain order.
It is probable that the democratic
national committee will ponder
deeply over this proposal. It is loaded
with possible trouble.

Is the Soviet Rule Breaking :

Almost from the beginning OF the
| bolshevik rule in Russia 1t has been
| predicted that 1t would eventually dis
integrate, as did the French revolu.
| ton, through internal dissension. The
| Lenin group grasped power in Novem-
| Der, 1917, wrestling the government
from Kerensky. Then began reign
| Of terror" that on a larger scale par.
alleIed the French regime OF the pro.
Ietariat that lasted from 1883 to about
l1795. The actual terror" IN France
! was of much briefer duration, being
only a phase of the tyranny Of sue
| cessive groups OF arbitrary rulers. No
| body precisely knows how long the
terror in Russia has lasted. But 1t
would appear to be ended, so tar as
the application Of ruthless brutal treat
ment goes.
There are signs Of q breakup In
the bolshevik organization. The vir-
tual custer Of Trotsky has brought to
light the fact that the soviet system
is split into factions. Power has passed
from the Lenin.Trotsky group to an
other combination. One dispatch from
| Moscow telling of the assemblage Of
| the all-Russian soviet congress on Sat
urday shows a great change from a
similar meeting in 1921. There were
NO red banners and no blazoned ap-
peals for world revolution. There were
no great portraits Of Karl Marx, Lenin
Io1 otoy rafI
dressed.
1t would seem that Trotsky, though
losing out with the communist organi-
zation, holds the fealty OF the red
army which he has until recently COM
manded. There is a possibility, htnted
at in the dispatches. that he may ap-
peal to the soldiery and effect re-
volt. with himself as dictator. But
doubtless the comnissars at Moscow
are tenderly caring for the health of
; their one.tine associate, and are as
! suring him Of the most careful nurs-
ing. In short, 1t will probably he
found, when the facts are made
! known, that Trotsky is being held in
strict restraint.
The soviet rule In Russia has now
lasted a little over six years. The
French revolution. counting up to the
| time Of Napoleons seizure Of power,
lasted about seven years. The ques'
ton arises whether the cycle in Rus
| sia is approaching completion. There
is no Napoleon in sight there. But
in truth there was no Napoleon" in
sight in France until the little lieu
tenant of artillery actually came upon
the scene and discharged his "whiff
Of grapeshot."
