According TO the Reynolds Outlook, Mr..
Durham OF Piedmont told the people at a
| Republican meeting in CentreYiIe on the
! 18th inst, thst "all the brains in the United
States come from the north" We believe
the statement because the sentiment is in
strict accord with the assumption of The
| rank and die OF the z. o. D., though not al
ways expressed. The curious feature is that
brainy % politicians should expect 20 capt

There has been some question as to the
validity of the dog ordinance recently enact
ed by the City Council; but that uncertain
ity exists no longer. The case of the City of
Carthage VS.. DIR. Augustus Roads was de-
termined by the supreme court last week in
1,
nent in law circles and is known as the .dog
case," the original complaint being made by
the marshal on the ground that the doctor
refused to pay lis dog tax. The case was
first heard in the city recorders court and a
fine assessed against the defendant, who took
an appeal TO the circuit court on the ground
that it was unconstitutional TO fine a man
for not paving a tax. The circuit court sus-
tanned the decision of the recorde. and the
case was taken to the Kansas City court of
appeals which refused to consider it, as a
constitutional point was in question, and
passed it along to the supreme court, which
has now finally decided that the doctor must
pay his fine. In the meantime the dog is
dead and the doctor is out some 500 for
costs.
