THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
The most popular dog in America

The most popular dog in America
today?
The Boston terrier, If registrations
with the American Kennel Club for the
first six months If the year show
anything.
A total of 1854 Bostons had their
papers listed with the club, leading all
other breeds.
Cocker spaniels were second, with
4,182 registrations.
Wire-haired fox terriers came next,
with 1906; then Scottish terriers, with
1891.
The pekingese maintains its popu-
larity with 2,095, followed by beagles
with 1886 registrations.
1t is likely that these figures mirror
faithfully the popularity Of the various
dogs with the general public, although
it must be kept in mind that these are
all pedigreed-there are many hundreds
of all breeds purchased by the public
every year which, for one reason or
other, do not or cannot get their
papers"

the furthering of the various breeds
concerned.
Smooth coated dachshunds showed
739 registrations, large gain over the
previous year. The cocker spaniels made
tremendous jump in popular favor,
Judging from the kennel clubs records
Chow-chows are still popular, with
1,889 registrations. Airedales, once a
favorite, showed only 800 newly listed
with the club.
There were more great danes than
German shepherds. and more doberman
pinschers than either. And more Pom
eranians than either great danes, Ger
man police or pinschers.
The popularity of the Boston terrier,
wrongly called Boston bulldog by many,
will be no news TO admirers Of the
breed.
And who that likes dogs does not
admire the peppy little fellows?
Properly cared for, and properly
trained, the Boston terrier. whether it
has its papers" or not, is a mighty
fine little dog.
He minds his own business, above all
In a crowded city, where this trait
in man or dog is a good trait. the
Boston occupies a niche all his own, it
seems.
Once he has got by the puppy stage,
and has been given the right sort of
treatment by his master, he finds the
world much too interesting to worry and

No dog, large or small, is more dig
nified, more independent. more filled
with the good zest of life and living.
The Boston is the best advertisement
the city will ever receive.
1t is not surprising, Of course, that
this dog is popular in the United States

one has said. from the humble begin
ming of an animal described as "the
half-bred bull and terrier type used for
fighting"
The year 1873 is not so long ago, and
in that year the lineage of this dog
began in Boston. Old dog men will tell
you about Hooper'S Judge. Wells Eph,
Tobin's Kate and Bernards Tom, the
latter one of the famous Boston terrier
names.
The question of just how much bull
dog there is in the modern Boston ter
rier is of interest only to rabid fanciers.
All the average person who buys one
cares about is whether he gets a good
specimen.

Last Flight.

Millions loved Will Rogers and Wiley
Post. They were deservedly famous,
generously appreciated; and they will
be mourned with sincerity equal to
their merits as men and to the infiu-
ence of their lives upon their contem-
poraries. The shock of their sudden
death, however, leaves the world stunned,
and not even those ordinarily consid-
cred skilled in words can put into Ian
guage the heavy sorrow which they feel
In their hearts.
Both the cowboy philosopher and his
aviator friend were Americans of the
elemental type. Each represented in
his own personality and temperament an
aspect of the American spirit. Sim
plicity, courage, optimism and faith were
among their most notable characteristics.
They were unpretending, adventurous,
hopeful and confident in everything they
were and in everything they did. Their
careers had many parallels-they be-
longed to the people, came from the
same stocks, travelled much the same
roads to eminence, aspired toward much
the same goals. And in the end they
were individuals such as Abraham Lin
coin would have enjoyed, brothers of his
own humane and sympathetic soul.
Rogers was among the freest of
beings. He was enfranchised of all the
restricting prejudices the limiting mean
neSses which unhappily afiict a large
portion of the race. Personifying lib
erality and tolerance, he said of him
self that he had criticized everybody
but never had met any one he did not
like. For many years he helped to
mold national opinion and the effect of
his work was direct and powerful but
nowhere in his record is there evidence
of any lack of charity any willful malice
He owned convictions, was devoted to
a code of basic principles, but he also
possessed an innate quality of mercy
which Sweetened his opinions and saved
him from the dangers of narrow dogma.
Possibly he never heard of Baruch
Spinoza, but he nonetheless had that
gentle teachers genius for suspended
judgment and inclusive benevolence.
And providentially he spoke for his
country, saying what the average Ameri-
can might say if he we're endowed with
so matured an intelligence and so COM
petent a technique of unaffected utter
ance.
Post likewise was free. He did what
he wanted to do, conquered circum-
stances which were drastically hostile.
The longing to soar which brought him
celebrity was no mere wish to go sky
riding. He was not ''just another pilot"
Instead, he aimed at a definite con-
tribution to new science, he sought
the laws of new concept Of travel;
and, paying for his first plane with an
eye, he now without complaint has paid
for his final experiment with all that
he could risk.
But are these heroes really lost?
Their ship is found smashed in an
Alaskan waste, their broken bodies are
carried home, yet that cannot be the
end. Few will be willing to believe that
they are gone. Such men do not die.
Rather, the millions who wave them
farewell will prefer to think of them
as journeying in a last flight everlast-
ing long across a universe everlasting
beautiful and good, citizens of eternity
entitled to Immortality.

KENTUCKY
Republicans Acclaim
"Raw Deal" Defeat
In Two States
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Republicans were cheerful today
and Democrats could find little to
cheer about over the results Of yes
terday's scattered balloting in q
half dozen States.
Republicans regained control Of
the New York State assembly,
on President Roosevelt's home
grounds. and they won . bitterly
contested mayoralty election in
Philadelphia upon which the
Democrats had set high hopes as
q preliminary to carrying Penn
sylvania next year.
Insofar as these results may
show the trend" politicians were
looking for, it is away from the
Roosevelt new deal.
All Eyes on Kentucky

ing of the ballots begins today,

lucky, there was a bitterly-contest-
ed Statewide fight, with the
Democrats hopeful Of holding the
governorShip in spite of a party
split.
Should the Kentucky results
also show a Republican victory
politicians were agreed today that
yesterday provided a Democratic
storm signal for 1896, indeed.
DiScounting much of the Re
publican rejoicing and Democratic
abiding, neutral observers were
cautious, however, about reading
too much significance in the New
York and Philadelphia results. To
many, it appeared that the politi'
cal pendulum, which has swung
so violently Democratic since 1882,
has begun to slow and inevitable
swing backward in the direction
of political normalcy. The Demo
Gratis have controlled the New
York assembly only once in "a
years; they haven't had a mayor
of Republican Philadelphia since
1881, a stretch of more than SO
years,
East Slipping From President
Therefore, the Democrats were
inclined today to Shrug off the
outcome in New York and Penn
sylvania as a caseof "the Dutch
capturing Holland" However, the
fact remains that insofar as New
York is concerned, the Republi'
cans "re-captured" Mr.. Roose'

the Republicans insisted upon
