When the tocsin u war was sounded
these people went forth at their coun-

their legs and arms behind as sacrifices
on the altar OF their beloved but un-
grateful country. Now, because their pa

valued at 81 600 or because, perhaps, they
strained every nerve in painful labor and
accumulated little property, or in some
way they make 500 per year, are they

WOULD BE FALSE.
some one might say that the state Is
not able to pay all OF her disabled and
discharge her other obligations. but we
think the assertion would not only be
false, but Il would involve an absurdity.
For any country 20 take as much care

sacred and binding obligation that could
rest upon It. II there are not available
funds on hand. we have never yet seen
a man so close-nsted and niggardly as

FARO DEBT REPUDIATEO.

Rules Otherwise.
GIelena (Mont) IndepndenO

Oelena (Mont) independently
There was an interesting case tried be-
fore Judge Knowles, OF the United States
Court. without jury, and the decision
was even more interesting The case was
that OF W. A. simon and Isaac Aber-
nethey. Of Missoula, against f.. c. Cove.
OF Spokane. 1t was In evidence that the
plaintiffs ran gambling-house and saloon
at Missoula, Simon dealing faro while
Abernethey attended To- the other bust
ness. Cove. the evidence was. went into
the place, played faro, and lost Then he
went TO Abernethey and, drawing his
check for s20O0, got the money from Aber-
nethey, and going back TO the gambling
table, lost that also. Going again TO Aber-
nethey. who was in the office. he drew an
other check for s., 200 and got the money
on IT. The testimony OF the plaintiffs was
that he only lost about $1,000 OF this last
s.. 200 NJ the faro table. When the checks
were presented for payment It was found
that Cove had stopped payment Cove
was not present at the trial. When all
the evidence was In. Judge Knowles said:
I'm the first place, the answer denied
that the defendant received any money.
1t is apparent from the evidence that he
did. Ii Is now claimed that. notwith-
standing he received the money, II cam
not be recovered back from him because
It was loaned to him to gamble with. 1t
is admitted that money loaned for pur
pose immoral or prohibited by law cannot
be recovered in 4 suit in court But | do
not think that faro game comes within
the rule thus laid down. If the money
had been loaned to facilitate counter
feiting, with the knowledge OF the lender
IL undoubtedly could not be recovered.
And the class Of immoral purpose that
renders a loan void | do not think would
include what Is known as a faro-bank.
But, at all events, 1t was not stipulated
that the money paid to defendant OH his
checks should be used for gambling pur-
poses. Plaintiff Abenethey may have
thought he was going TO use Il for that
purpose. but II does not appear that
Abernethey knew It. Cove could have
used 1t for that purpose or not, as he saw
fit. He could have done what he had a
mind TO with IT, Under these circum-
stances l think the plaintiff Is entitled
TO recover"

VARIOUS DEGREES OF INSANITY.
Few People Free from a Teint OF Mental
Neutrality-suspicious. Theories.

CHASE CITY, VA. January 6.-tSpe-
cial)-The insanity plea in the case OF
Prendergast now on trial for the assassi-
nation Of Mayor Carter Harrison. or
Chicago, recalls to memory n book pub
llshed many years ago, In which the
author undertook 10 prove by logical Sc
quence that no man was entirely eX-
empt from a degree of insanity on some
subjects. In fact. n very intelligent, even
tempered, and successful man OF this
county told the writer that after read
ing this book the impression on him was
so great that he imagined that he was
not even-balanced at all times Some
distinguished minds have doubted
whether any man ever has lived wholly
free from n faint OF mental unsoundHess
on all topics under all circumstances. DR..
Samuel Johnson declared that "all power
of fancy over reason IL degree @.
insanity" Montaigne affirmed that be-
tween madness and genius there Is but
"a half turn Of the toe"
According to the philosopher Tame our
ordinary life borders all the time on
some part OF our nature. All Of which
is fine food for speculation and thought
among persons OF culture.
But society cannot entertain any theo-
rles OF insanity which make men who
know what they are doing and know
that the act they commit Is wrong.
unlawful, and forbidden on pain OF death
unaccountable for their deeds.
UNCONTROLLABLE IMPULSE.
II was the late Chief-Justice Cockburn,
of England, who. as young barrister.
while pleading for Robert Pate. who
struck the Queen In the face with HE
cane. invented the now oft-repeated
phrase uncomfortable impulse Pate,
as he argued. struck Victoria under an
Uncomfortable impulse" But Baron Al
derson, who tried the case, gravely said
in his charge. THE law does not recog-
nize such an impulse. II person was
aware that II was wrong act he was
about to commit he was answerable for
the consequences A man might say that
he picked a pocket from some 'uncon-
trollable impulse and In that
case the law would have an uncontrolla-
bic impulse TO punish him for it."
Society must stand on the same ground
as 10 the assassin. If he has an "uncon-
trollable impulse" TO kill, the law must
have an uncomfortable impulse" to kill
him. 1t is O matter for reciprocity Of
impulses.
Self-preservation Is a primary instinct.
Society must obey II or perish. When
cranks In seeking notoriety are certain
to find a rope there will not be so many
sensational assassinations.
