Its tough when a fellow has to go to jail seventeen days for his dog but that happened to Jasper Bailor and may happen to others unless they arrange to pay the dog taxes now past due. The law cannot be denied on this subject. Clarence Darrow will enter the defense of the fatuous D. C. Stephenson but we doubt that even his great 1 ability will sway the courts to change their minds and they w’ill have to if they decide to free the man who caused a lot of the troubles in this state. Mr. Coolidge is a wise old political owl. He says that if the republican party has a chance to win, Mr. Hoover deserves the usual second term, while if he lias no change, it would be unjust to cast any one else in the roll of the sacrificial lamb. Most folks will agree with the “Silent Cal." Frank Mayr, secretary of state, has opened a relentless war on drunken drivers and instructions have been given to the state police officers to go after them. The orders also urged that attention be given to all who engage in reckless driving. The people will approve such a campaign. The proposal of a moratorium caused the stock markets to go up. showing the best advancement in eighteen months and then just, when it was actually adopted by the nations, the market proceeds to flop. It went down yesterday with a thud that made every one who monkeyed with it wish they [ hadn’t. - The Wisconsin legislature has [ declared daylight saving time a' nuisance, under a new statute just | enacted. It provides fines up to JSOO and from ten to thirty days in ! jail for those who use any thing I but standard time. Greatest objection to the proposed advancement of the clocks came from the railroad men who claim it is about the worst thing they have ever contended with. Officials are making every investigation preparatory to reduc-

ing budgets for the coming year and thats a splendid move. No use to joke ourselves about it. taxes must be reduced and the unit which tails to do that will be very unpopular. Os course Its tough but so is every thing else just now and its wisdom of the real kind and the best politics in the world to get down to brass tacks. A hundred years ago the South Carolina railroad, seeking a dependable motive power for its line, offered SSOO for the design of the best horse operated engine. The i' flying dutchman" which derived its power from a horse walking (over an endless chain tread-mill, i won the priae when it carried twelve passengers at the terrific | rate of twelve miles an hour. Those birds would scarcely believe that now we feel fifty miles an hour ini an automobile is just buggy riding. Anyone who drives a car at night will agree with the correspondent | in yesterday’s paper who aimed’ some shots at the one-eyed autos that hurtle through the darkness,! a menace to everything on the | road. Why the police are so indifferent to the peril in which every other driver is placed by these partially emasculated contraptions of destruction is difficult to understand. Certainly they are one of the greatest jeopardies of night driving, the other being the blindingly brilliant headlights of road hogs who have no concern except for themselves. It's time the uniformed monitors of the highways got hep to their jobs.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr. Hoover is now directing his attention to world peace. Os course we all favor that. Wish it had come some fifteen years ago. We would have all been better off, but it didn't and just now we can't see why much time should be devoted to any thing but getting the world squared around economically. Most nations, according to their cries, are so poor they couldn't put on a sham battle even. However if what the President says is true — that armament is the base of the troubles and non-employment and empty treasuries, over the world, lets get a few delegates together and do away with armies and I navies. What we need is action, something real, and we need it quickly. o - * AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File ♦ « July B—Schafer Saddlery Com--1 pany moves into new 3-story ' building at First and Madison ' streets, employing 33 men.

Talk about bugs, they were there in full force at last night’s concert and were very disagreeable to the I young players, so if there was a | I hum note or two, blame it on the j . bugs. Had a good crowd at the concert I and I hope they enjoyed the music ’ as much as we enjoyed seeing’ them. Come again.

Scores! | of persons saw the two men killed | , on a crowded street. Witnesses unanimously agreed (that Johnson was the aggressor in |the shooting. He reportedly had’ | announced earlier in the evening | That he was "looking for McDuffy." The ranger and three other offi-. leers drove down the street in an ' automobile and Johnson fired once with a rifle. McDuffy was killed. ' >i Police Chief Dial, who was pass-i I ing by, fired seven bullets into I T Johnson’s body. I Dial later assumed full responsei 1 bility for Johnson’s death.

He was released last night I ■ and immediately got his rifle and I (started looking for the ranger. | Shortly before he was dismissed s I from the force Johnson was said, -Ito have charged other officers with' ' ■planting" a whisky bottle ou an! fi oil field worker who had been kill-1 [ed by a policeman.
