Two Branches Of Government.
In the election next Tuesday men
to serve in two branches of the
state government will be selected. If
good men are chosen, the state will
steadily move forward but if bad,
unworthy men are selected, the
states progress will be impeded.
First, a governor or chief execu-
tive officer will be chosen. If a fer
ward looking man, a mar with
breadth of vision and high ideals is
chosen the people will have no cause
for regret. On the contrary, if a mar
who is regarded as a friend of the
lawless and criminal element Of our
citizenship is chosen a disrespect and
disregard for law will be engender-
ed, which will make very much worse
an already bad situation. We have
not yet recovered from the reaction
following the wal and the restora3
tion of a normal status will be great
~ hindered if a man of low stand
ards and low ideals is selected for
this high office.
Second, a majority Of the MEM
hers of the general assembly, the law
making branch of the state, will be
chosen. We need now, more than for
a long time, men of a high type to
serve in this capacity. While we must
economic in public affairs, yet we
should not adopt a policy Of false e.
economy. We need men of character,
men of clear vision, men of ability,
and sober minded (and also sober
bodied) men. No where is a drinking
man more of a nuisance or misfit
than in the legislative halls, He not
only makes a disgraceful spectacle
of himself and binders legislation
but he reflects upon his county and
constituency. Yes, more than ever
we need men in the legislature who
are sane, sober and altogether de-
pendable.

members Of the faculty were cap

who had set up their stands on con-

they thought of the game. II is said
that one dignified professor who was
in somewhat 81 a hurry, lost his col
lar in a struggle with several stu
dents who were trying 20 get him Il
make a speech. However, brute
strength won out over brains and the
prof" gave one Of the best speeches
OF the evening.

A DOG Is A DOG
REGARDLESS OF AGE

When is a dog a dog? This
question featured today's ees-

Warren Green believes a dog is

OF Ave months. But George
Kopp. dog catcher. and an au-

Morando. who was arraigned
before Deputy Judge Lynn on
charge of harboring an un-
registered canine,
George Smith. who. according
