The Dog Law is creating . . .

. . . quite an excitement in many parts of the State.  People are excited and some of them promise to resist the law.  We have no doubt that a great deal of profanity and an infinite amount of talk will be the result of this attempt to intervene in the domestic affairs of the owners of this sort of worthless property.  Perhaps the next election will turn on the dog question.
