LEFT TERRIEB 310 TERRY terriers kept as companions the Skye is probably the most common. The black- and-tan, though an ancient breed, has been supplanted by the white English terrier. Japan gives us the shan-shong, resembling the Skye, and malta, a tiny terrier with long silky hair like a Blen- heim spaniel. The toy terrier is a cross from the black-and-tan, as is the York- shire terrier. Both varieties are fit only to be used as house dogs and are not true terriers. TERRITOBY, a term applied in the United States to an area similar to a State of the Union, but not having the independent position of one. The unor- ganized Territories are under the direct control of Congress. Each organized Territory has a governor, appointed by the President for four years, and ratified by the Senate. The Legislature, of- ficially known as the Legislative As- sembly, is composed of a council and a house of representatives, chosen every two years by the people. A delegate to Congress is elected for the same term. He has the right of debate, but not a vote in the House. Territorial legislation is subject to Congressional control. Ter- ritorial courts are provided for, the judges of which are appointed by the President for four years, and confirmed by the Senate, and over which the Su- preme Court of the United States has appellate jurisdiction. Territories are usually admitted as States on attaining a sufficient population. Territories are now administered according to their spe- cial requirements, especially in the case of those of recent acquisition, viz. the Panama Canal Zone (1904) and the Virgin Islands (1917).
