Mills Speech Is Subject
OF Countrywide Debate

in so doing "he avoids alternating nu-
merous Republicans who have been
pleased with the Roosevelt program"
and significance is attached by the
Topeka Daily Capital to his new
note of Republican liberalism, which
can be explained only as the effect
of the pronounced liberalism Of the
Roosevelt administration"
AT this time" states the Fort
Worth Telegram, listeners and
readers have no patience with criti-
cism of movement made by those
who very recently were forcibly re-
moved by an avalanche of votes be-
cause of inertia" The Austin Ameri-
can asks the question: Now what
did he do in the II long years he
was an adviser to make the people
wise or happy or prosperous"
while the former cabinet member
could not be expected to support the
administration program" declares the
Duluth News Tribune, "a majority Of
the people, no doubt, will feel that he
is boxing a shadow in his fight
against a dictator in the United
States, and that he is invading the
realms of fancy when he opposes what
he describes as revolutionary change
without popular mandate" The Wa
tertoWn Daily Times is inclined to
disagree. however, and considers that
Mr.. Mills has been able to do some
thing that no other Republican has
thus far been able to do He has
put the Roosevelt administration upon
the defensive" The Chicago Journal
Of Commerce sees indication In the
Mills speech that perhaps the one
man theory of government eventually
will find some intelligent opposition
and criticism, and we shall have the
freedom of protest which charac-
terized the early days of the Nation
after all"
Nothing in the Mills speech Is
more notable than its reputation Of
the Republican high tariff policy"
believes the Scranton Times and the
Schenectady Gazette is of the opinion
that "others can be expected to fol-
low his lead. as he speaks not only
for himself, but for an influential ele-
ment of the Republican party" While
agreeing that the United States will
have to abandon its policy of isola-
tion and extreme nationalism," the
Louisville Herald-Post holds that 1T
does not seem reasonable for the Re-
publican party to bid for an oppor.
tunity to undertake such action"
The st. Paul Pioneer Press calls
the speech a new version Of the 1920
slogan. Back to Normalcy," and saws
that ''the trouble with the slogan for
the longer run of the 1896 campaign
Is that President Roosevelt Is very
likely to get the country back to nor
NAL first"
The Brooklyn Times Union thinks
the Republican reformation had bet
ter be based on something more sub
stantial and novel than second-ha
Democratic issues" The Fort WAYNE
Journal-Gazette says decidedly: "The
country will never turn to Ogden
Mills for President" while the New
York Times is convinced that "the
nomination Of Mr.. Mills for the
presidency by the Republicans In 1896
Is about the most unlikely thing that
anybody could predict"

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The greatest mistake the average
dog lover is likely to make is to hang
onto a pet after 1t has plainly shown
its inability to live in civilization.
The owner Of such a dog IS only
laying up trouble and sorrow for HIM
self by keeping it.
There are plenty Of places where
such dogs are appreciated, where their
unfriendly attitude toward humanity
will be needed.
Even worse than laying up trouble
for himself, he creates fear in others
and in the end may bring injury upon
some perfectly innocent person.
If the dog finally turns and rends
its owner, that would be poetic justice.
And 1t is a very large possibility.
The chances are, however, that
some person, who by no means de-
serves to be attacked, will be on the
receiving end Of the trouble when 1t
finally comes.
"Oh, Bozo is good dog, he doesn't
mean any harm"
Such is the usual statement of the
owner.
The fact that Bozo bit a child, and
was duly reported, and his master
warned that the next offense would
mean the end Of him, makes no i'm
preston whatever on the owner.
This is loyalty, all right, but one
may believe it misplaced.
In the first place, Bozo is not .
good dog.
A good dog Is one which knows how
to live in civilization. He is able to
mind his own business. Perhaps he
may bark vigorously at the sound of
footsteps, especially upon his master s
walk or porch, but that is about as
far as he goes.
He has enough dog sense, gathered
through the centuries by his ancestors,
to know the difference between a bark
and a bite.
In the second place, Bozo does mean
harm.
If he doesn't leap for the throat Of
the passerby, at least he would like to.
And when a dog. especially a big
dog, shows by certain gleam in his
eyes, that he really would like to leap
at a human throat, 1t Is time to get
rid OF him.
Yet many a dog owner keeps such a
creature. through queer mixture OF
pride. stubbornneSs and inability to
see faults plainly visible to others.
Loyalty to his four-footed friend is
the main reason why such an owner
foil no oil in the dnp G
eyes Every one else can see it there,
but he cannot. and he is perfectly
sincere about it.
To the owner, the dog is good dog,
a misunderstood dog, dog that
doesn't mean any harm at all. but
only is rather playful.
The passerby, whether man, woman
or child, will scarcely view him in
that light, and there is no reason why
he should, for the onslaught Of a dog
especially a large one. even If It stops
Just short of the fatal bite, is very
real, and often very terrifying.
Unfortunately. it generally is a big
dog which seems to possess this fail
ing. not common among dogs. but still
common enough to be understood by
, most persons.
And the large dog, when attacking
or making a pseudo-attack, is really
a fearful creature.
| Only one who has. at some time ir
his lite, fought a dog barehanded car
have any real idea Of what such q
struggle means.
Those who have not had this unde-
sirable experience can imagine il
readily enough, especially if the dos
which runs up to them is big enough

so largely earned that title that few

This period was marked by more
than one attempt on the part OF Bel
grade and her associates to change
national feeling and tradition in
Macedonia. upon the presumption
that the Bulgarian people would not
insist upon their lawful claims for
the protection Of minorities.
Though more than 10 years have
passed since this question began to
be debated. it is now more apparent
than ever before that any combina-
tion Of Balkan states which would
exclude Bulgaria would but tend to
further trouble and dissatisfaction in
the peninsula. The new Turkish
government has here splendid op-
portunity to assist these people in
enjoying their liberty. The Turks
know better than anybody else that
the Macedonians have always been,
and must still continue, Bulgarian.
Why, then, should Turkish activity
ever be directed against the lawful
claims of these Bulgarians? Would
not such an attitude on the part of
Turkey be incompatible with the en-
lightened principles which formed
the basis of the new Turkish govern
ment itself? This state, now re-
formed into a republic. owes its own
existence to reaction against inter-
national injustice, which the whole
Turkish nation arose to combat as
one man for the sake of their COM
mon life and liberty.
The Turks, by their bravery and
self denial in voluntarily electing to
undergo such pains and difficulties to
secure the blessings Of peace and
independence, have shown the way

The Mckinley day address Of Ogden
L. Mills at Topeka, Kans., occasioned
little applause generally in editorial
comment. but. instead. in the words
of the Akron n-Journal. at
tracted plenty of brickbats." Mr..
Mills warned against the establish
ment of a dictatorship and urged the
safeguarding of individual rights. He
likewise took exception to some phases
Of the N. R. A. and recommended a
revision of the tariff to encourage in
ternational trade.
Many observers felt that his close
connection with a defeated admins
tration somewhat weakened his criti-
cisms. The Charlotte Observer, for
example. suggests that ''it would be
quite unusual if Ogden Mills did not
find a lot of fault with the Roosevelt
administration. and the Jersey OBJ
server agrees that this apostle of the
big interests that broad cataclysmic
defeat to the G. o. P. In 1882 ran

of the Roanoke Times that "it i'll be-

Automatic Paw Promotions.

The nine million dollars or so that
it will cost the Government to re-
store, as proposed by the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, the auto
matte pay promotions in some classes
of service could not be better spent.
These automatic pay increases are,
fundamentally, part Of an agreed
upon salary. When they are pro-
hfbited the effect is an additional
reduction in salary beyond the fiat
reductions that apply to everybody.
Another, and particularly inequitable
effect, is to deprive some people of
their deserved compensation, while
others, who luckily reached the top
grade a month before the suspension
Of increases was applied. enjoy the
full pay less generally applied reduc-
tions.
The restoration of the automatic
pay promotions in the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps, Public Health Service,
Coast Guard and Coast and Geodetic
Survey was agreed upon first. The
cost was estimated at $7,00O,000. The
Senate Committee is to be commended
for its fairness in making the restora-
ton apply to all the services, including
the Washington Police and Fire De-
partments and the public school
teachers. at the slight additional cost
of $2.O00,OO0 1t would have been ex-
tremely unfortunate If there had been
any semblance of discrimination.
