The council is working on the dog ordinance . . . it should . . . we have too much commotion going on now the thing to do is to get the dog ordinance set so it will pay its own expense if folks will keep dogs in town they should pay all the costs . . . that the council might as well know now that they will never settle the dog question for that few who keep quoting that Missouri speech which to this column is little more than maudlin . . .

And there’s another nugget tucked into this story, too… MSU’s first President went on to become Governor of Wyoming. We’ve remarked before that he was a remarkable leader… it seems others recognized that, too.
