wonder how many persons ever stop to think
that babies have rights just as well as men aud
MOTHER.
Undoubtedly they have. They are endow ed
life, liberty, and To pursuit OF happiness. Their
way Of pursuing happiness and their notions on
the subject may require TO be corrected In some
respects; their views OF the permissible meth
DDS of exercising their liberty may need emil sht-
eminent through the means nature has provided,
and even their right to life Ia held subject to the
laws which govern It. But STILL under necessary
Limitations, these rights belong to babies. Those
who keep their babies In slavery have no con-
ception OF the advantages they would derive
from proper measure OF liberty; and those tho
always thwart them In the pursuit OF happiness
In tn cir own way, under all circumstances, not
understand the internal motions Of their spirits.
The trouble In this whole business grows out Of
the feet that there is no well reeul ,ted system
OF laws for the enforcement OF the fund amenth
rights Of babies, and that babies are unable TO
make legal assertion OF their inaienable rights
II they could do so, the prisons would soon DO
packed full OF fathers and mothers, though,
perhaps, the shrewder class OF babies would
scruple to lock up those upon whom they are
dependent for their daily bread and milk. As IL
Is, we are disposed To think, Notwithstanding all
drawbacks, that babies, "a well men and wo-
men. enjoy more rights In this country than 10
some others. II they arc happy enough TO have
sensible parents, who ompre bend the rights to
which they are entitled. and who are prepared
to see that they secure them, they have less oc-
caslon for epiDa and wailins than those other
babies whose fathers aud mothers are ignorant
Of the laws Of nature and OF life.

BIG VERDICT AGAINST THE HEMP.
FIELp.-Friday of last week there was
commenced in the U. s. Circuit Court
at Pittsburgh the case of Edward Fox VS..
the Hempfeld Railroad Company. Ed
ward Fox is successor of Richard Fox,
deceased, as plaintiff. The case was tried
before Judge Strong, of the U. 5. Su.
preme Court, Judge McKennan having
been concerned, prior to going on the
bench, rs counsel for the COM
pany. The evidence which was
purely documentary, was closed
on Friday, and on Saturday the counsel
submitted points and argued the case,
after which Judge Strong delivered the
charge to the jury, in which he briefly re-
viewed the points in the proceedings lie
said that the present suit had been enter
ed in 1866, and in 1860 two judgments
were given Tor the plaintiff; one forS4o, l62
and the other for SIS, 2l0, or in all Sol, l62.
The plaintiff claims verdict here now
under an act of the Assembly OF 1913,
which stpuates that a railroad could not
give mortgage on its road without the
consent of any contractor who had done
work on the road and was unpaid, and II
it did give such mortgage, the contrac'
tors claim would prove prior and para
mount. The defense claimed that the
plaintiff was stakeholder in the Hemp
field railroad and was therefore virtually
party in the execution of the mortgage,
and knewing that such was the case, 1t
amounted 10 an estoppel of the plain
tufts claim. Judge Strong heldthat even
if the plaintiff was II stakeholder the rail-
road company had no right TO come in
and execute. mortgage without his
knowledge or consent, and there was NO
evidence that the plaintiff was possessed
of this knowledge, or had given his con-
sent, consequently, under the act of 1913,
the plaintiffs claim was prior and para
mount. Under the instructions of Judge
Strong the jury rendered verdict in be-
half OF the plaintiff Tor the sum of $685.
1928, being the amount Of the two
judgments, with interest from the date
they were given, without leaving the
! box.
1t is understood that the defendant
(really the Baltimore and Ohio Il. r. Co..
will carry IL case to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

AMERICAN APpRENTICEs.-Thc Penn
.ylvania Legislature, AT its late session,
passed the bill imposing penalties on IN
dlyiduals or organizations obstructlng
the learning of trades by those who
wish 10 do so. The obstruction Is a
proper subject of legislation everywhere
| 1t creates n combination detrimental to
the future interests of the country. 1t
is said that the country has not now, for
Its population, anything like the number
of .kIllful mechanics it had twenty years
ago, and this will be still more true and
disastrous IN the next generation than at
present, if the obstruction against the
perfect freedom in the learning of trades
is continued Besides, it necessarily
compels us to depend on foreign skilled
| labor to an immense extent, leaving our
American youth idle, and robbed of their
rights by having been deprived of OPP
portunities. The full text of the Penn
sylvania law is as follows:
"Any person who shall, either in an
individual capacity, or rs member OF
any association, sttempt by any unlaw-
full means whatever to prevent any me-
chanic, employer or person having charge
of any manufacturing business from
taking as an apprentice any minor
whose parents or guardians are DESTROYS
of appenticing said minor, or where said
minor is without parents or guardians,
and desires to apprentice himself or her
SELF, shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
on conviction thereof in the proper Court
OF Quarter Session shall be sentenced to
pay fine not exceeding 500, or 10, I'M
prison ment not exceeding three months,
or both or either at the discretion OF the
court"
