1t was done.
The dogs tails were cut off just
back of their ears. That was cur
failing the business with a ven-
geance.
1t was prohibition. There was no
license about it.
There was a big ado for little
while. Dog-owners LOST their pa
tience. The dogs themselves were,
for a season, more rabid than ever,
and then their carcasses smelled
bad for many days.
But the mad dog business was

and secure. Boys could go out

Everybody said, "Why didn't
we think of it before?"

died, the one who had the happy

SAYS the MiddIetOaOn Transcript
There can be no doubt in the minds of
knowing people throughout this State
that Willard Salisbury will be the
next United States Senator if this
State goes Democratic. The legisla-
tive ticket from this county is for
Salisbury, as is also the great majority
of the Sussex ticket. 1t is in New
Castle and Sussex and undoubtedly in
Kent so that in the remote contingency
of the Democrats being successful,
Willard Salisbury will scoop the pot.
He is master of the situation, and
knows it. His grip upon the Demo-
cratic party in this State is as strong as
his fathers ever was. Stronger than
Senator Gray's and equal to Secretary
Bayard's. No young man has at
tanned the grip upon his party that
Mr.. Salisbury has and he means to
hold it. A writer in the Sunday Star
of Wilmington asserts that Mr.. Sauls-
bury has promised the County Com.
mittee of Sussex $4,000 for election
purposes and that promises lively cam
paign.
HIGGINS AND ADDICKs.-The fol-
lowing, sent from Wilmington to the
Philadelphia Record is a view; from
one side, of the pending contest in our
State: The eyes of Senator Higgins
and his political friends are turned
anxiously toward the Sussex County
Republican Convention, held at George
town, on Tuesday. Upon the result of
this convention depend the Senator's
chances of reelection in the event of
Republican Legislature beiug chosen
at the next election. 1t is conceded
by the Higgins managers that Higgins
has not a single vote among the two
Senatorial and seven Representative
candidates nominated by the Kent Re-
publicans last week and there are sus.
picions that twOif not three, of the can
didates nominated in the interest of Hig-
gins in New Castle county are weaken.
ing in their allegiance and showing de-
cided leanings toward J. Edward Ad.
dicks, whose candidacy for the United
States Senate even the Higgins leaders
no longer look upon as joke. Addicks
already has one of the Republican
nominees for State Senator in New
Castle county, Robert J. Handy, who
was elected as an Addicks candidate,
after an exciting contest. Should Hig-
gins get the Sussex delegation he will
be all right, and its possession would
also put Addicks to the front.
