Inst a Doq!

our dog is dead!
" He was Just dog, with no pedi-
gree, and he certainly wasn't much TO
look at.
He came to our house early last win
ter. in the midst of Snowstorm, and
whined at the door until we let him in,
Once inside he refused to leave us again,
ever.
We advertised for the owner to come
and claim the pup, but no one appeared.
And so Bum" was adopted.
Back in his ancestry, somewhere, there
must have been trace of Spitz, for he
developed jealousy that is characteristic
of the Spitz breed, He didn't think much
of others, but he loved and defended his
own adopted family with devotion that
sometimes became embarrassing.
From time to time The Star has printed
letters from persons who have had much
to say about the nuisance that dogs can
become in big city. And sometimes we've
been inclined to wonder what the dogs
must think about the nuisance that human
beings can become to animals.
We live, for instance, on street where
the traffic is fairly heavy, and twice
Bum was hurt by automobiles; once by
man who deliberately turned out of his
way to run him down. So serious was it
that he had to spend several weeks in a
veterinary hospital with his leg in Splint.
He learned to do simple tricks. To sit
up. To 'speak" for food. To shake hands
We never drove away from the house
that he didn't beg to be taken along, and
he was bliSsfully happy when allowed to
perch i'm the back seat.
Night before last Bum barked at us
when we reached home. Never before had
he failed to come bounding out to shake
hands He acted queerly, moping and
refusing to eat. And so we left him with
veterinary.
Just few minutes ago the telephone
rang, and n voice notified us that Bum"
was dead. The voice thought it was poison
No, he wasn't much of dog. but he
loved us and he made us love him, the
century-old affection between men and
dogs.
And now that he is gone we will miss
him.

Clue Conscience a Chance

THE spawning Of laws is on all over
l. the land. Congress may be adjourned,
but thousands of statutes, passed TO the
veal woe or total Indifference of the peo-
pie, are being turned out in every state.
These will soon be transformed by the
courts into "precedents" and the bursting
law libraries will be weighted down by
tons of new verbiage, the measure of
which is supposed to be the measure of
our righteousness.
Some years ago Nevada, which BOASTS
of zone square man TO every square
mile decided TO call halt. A code COM
mission worked two years and discovered
that one-half of the laws were either obsoJ
lete or duplicated other laws and were
therefore useless. They cut down the
states code by one-half. and have been
running along nicely ever since.
California has kept the law-mill steadily
grinding. In one year California passed
more laws than the French assembly
passed in % years, or the English parlia-
ment in eight years. I'm Is years she
passed $4,000 pages of statutes. and today
has the distinction of having passed more
laws in given time than any state in the
Union. Yet no one can rightly claim that
n Californian is a better citizen than q
Nevadan
Tactus, who said "the more corrupt the
state the more laws il passes" went a
bit strong. Feverish law-making reflects
not so much corruption as an illusion of
morality.
When other state-and congress. too
discover as Nevada has, that folks are
good without being made good by statute,
they likewise will start curbing their law
mania and give conscience chance.

Hindenburg or Marr2

Il EEP your eye on Germany.
IN On April 26 postwar Germany for
the first time will decide by popular vote
who shall rule her. The candidates are:
/. Former Chancellor Wilhelm Marx,
republican.
=. Ernst Thaemann, communist.
3. Field Marshal Paul Won Eckendorfer
und Won Hinderburg, the kaiser's iron man
and terror of the allies, monarchist.
Communist Thaelmann may be elimi-
mated right now, so the battle will be
between those who believe in a republic
and those who believe in monarchy.
Whichever wins, Marx or Hindenburg, he
will be called president; but if linden
burg triumphs German monarchsts and
nationalist will be in the saddle and der
tag" for another European explosion will
have been brought step nearer.
Today both republicans and monarch
lists claim victory OF course, But watch
what happens.
