daughter of Mr.. and Mre. H, Boock,
owners OF the corner restaurant, were
united in marriage, Rev. Hartung
officiating. The contracting parties

a year, and during that time they
have both made many friends who are
pleased to see them happily married
and who extend heartiest congratula.

position at Sioux Falls and went over
there the first of the week to look in
to it, and if satisfactory will accept

before coming to Tripp. The bride
is an Industrious young lady and has
been very courteous to the many pa
irons of the restaurant.

it, what is his command worth? Who
should heed it?
The anti-Cox people reply In this
strain; The governor was nominated
for q specific purpose-to carry the
banner in the campaign and show the
way to victory. Granted that he did
his best. Granted that no other man In
the party could, in the circumstances,
have done better. or even SO well. He
yet failed, and failed more signaiiy
than any other man whoever ran for
the presidency. Did not that let him
out? Has he the right to control the
party machinery until tho nsxt demo-
cratic national convention7 How go?
Chairman White, in q measure, is
involved in this. He was selected by
Gov. Cox ito conduct the campaign.

that in the circumstances no other
man could have done better, II 10 well.
He failed. Did not that lat him out7
and should he not retire?
Not all Of this controversy Is yet

that, on the quiet. and under the SUI

A Woman and Two Dogs.

The wheels Of Justice grind their
srist without regard to the value In
volved. Often 100000 worth of court
time is taken up in the settlement Of
cases that turn upon the most trump.
cry property rights. Justice being
blind cannot see the dollar sign, and
SO must be as ponderously careful over
a ten.cent suit as a million-dollar pro-
ceeding.
These truths are illustrated in a
case just settled by the Supreme
Court Of the United States, which has
ruled that a Brooklyn woman was
lawfully convicted in the lowest court
Of neglecting to license two dogs.
When the congestion of court cal.
sndars is considered it would seem
preposterous to add to them such ap-
peals. While the courts were con-
sidering this case, involving, as Mr..
Justice McReynolds said in prefacing
his decision. "a woman and two dogs"
cases were awaiting action in the
courts below and in the Supreme Court
in which large and important inter,
ests were involved
Yet the court must look to prin.
ciples and not to persons. It must
think OF case like this in terms Of
the rights Of dogs o. the rights OF
people to keep them. and with strict
regard to the Legal elements. II the
