The Republicans of Ormsby County
talk of running George II. Morrison
for the Assembly. They could not
make better selection. His ability
would give him n foremost place on
the floor of tie House and his clear
insight into the needs of the State
would enable him to materially assist
useful legislation. 1t might seem that
this is simply the business of Ormsby
County, but the idea is dying out that
members are simply sent 10 work for
their own county. As Assemblymen
and Senators, they are there for the
whole State, and the whole State has
an interest in the selection of each
and all of them.

In American assertion. In all that
concerns civilization, humanity and
the advancement of man, the United
States has no right to remain silent.
When in the great family of nations
there IS wrong done, it is the duty of
America to protest, and if she fails to do
so she deserves to be execraied by men.
We have the right to take our place

we will do so. If that precipitates

WHEN DOES A PUPPY BECOME A
Doc IA recent dispatoh states that
the board Of aldsrmKsny mayor and
Judge 81 Columbia, s. O., were an
broken up over the legal question as
to when puppy becomes dog.
Judge Smell, Of the Washington Pc.
lice Court, cut the Gordian knot last
week by deciding that pupEy be-
comes a dog at the age of one year.
This question came up in the case of
of an aged colorSd man charged with
the crime of keeping a dog without
paying license. The aged colored
man pleaded that he did not keep a
dog-it was only puppy six months
old. The judge decided that the law
imposed tax on dogs, but was silent
as to puppies. He knew, from long
experience as fancier of dogs, that
a puppy did not become dog until
he was one year old, and therefore
he would discharge the defendant.
The venerable darby, his face radiant
with victorious smiles, retired from
the court room, holding section of
clothes line, at the other end of which
dangled the indicated puppy.
