CITIES CANNOT KILL 006S
SAYS SUPREME COURT
Derision In Salem Cate Holds
It Unconstitutional to Slay
Impounded Caninet.
According -lo a decition handed
down in the aupreme court at, Salem
yettcrday, Albany't dog ordinance it
unconttitutional and hereafter there
will be no excute for killing im
pounded caninet or burying dogt and
have Ihem come to life again.
Latt winter tbe city of Salem patt
ed an ordinance regulaiing dogt run
ning at large in llie city, and made it
a part of the ordinance that impound
ed doga thould be killed three dayt
after being taken up if no owner call
ed to pay the fine on their pet. Sa
lem dog lovert took the matter up
on a constitutional batit and carried
he matter to the circuit court, where
Judge Galloway rendered a decition
in their favor. The city appealed the
cate lo the tuprcme court, and again
the dog ownert were vindicated.
The court holdt that the procedure
of killing dogt after three dayt, if the
ownert fail to appear and claim them,
violatet the fundamental principle
thai no peraon thall be deprived of
hit property without due procett of
law.
Dogt, tayt the court, are regiribl
in thit itatc at being jual at impor
tant a clatt of peraonal property at
any other domettic animal, and equal
ly entitled to the protection oi the
law.
Albany't ordinance ia jaimilar to
the one patted by the Salem council,
except that it providct that dogt may
be killed after 48 bourt if they are not
called for by thai time.
Mayor Curl hat inttructed the local
police to arrctt all dog ownert who
permit their dogt to run at lar.e and
become a nuitance. The recent de-
cition of the tuprcme court make it
unconttitutional for cities to patt bills
authorizing 'be killing of .logs, but il
doet not ff'ect the rett if :he lKti or
dinance. There will be a li'oral in.erprctv

Hypocrite!" in thai, it turnt ihe dra
matic tearehlight on one particular
vice of the human race, is in tome re.
spec Is even itronger, viewed purely as
a dramatic production. It hat for a
plot a continued and concrete story
and ougt to "ttrike home" with great
er force than the more abstract pic
ture. No beautiful figure flits in and
out of thit picture to give a glimpse
of the ideal and to worry the censor.
The producer! have chosen Scandal,
a negative quality, at the dominating
figure in thit picture, and the evil,
leering face of Gossip will not be as
startlingly shocking to many well-
meaning people throughout the coun
try at wat the Naked Truth.
The ttory. at hat been said, deals
with everyday human beings. A ste
nographer tpraint her ankle and her
employer takes her home in hit au
tomobile. Immediately the front
porchet of her neighbors, dumb wait-
crt in apartment houtes, clubroom
windows and other clearinghouses of
gossip are ringing with the newt that
a certain gentleman it paying entirely
too much attention to a certain young
lady who works in hit office. All the
meannett and pcttineta of human na
ture is fully shown up, which of course
it unpleasant and at timet tincomfort
able. Theatret thowirg this picture
would be doing a public spirited act
