JUDGE COOLEY ON CURRENT CUES
TIONS.

Anything that Judge Cooley has to say
concerning public questions commands at
tention by reason of his knowledge of con-
stitutional Law. his conservative habits of
thought and his fair and judicial temper.
His address delivered yesterday before the
American Bar Association at Saratoga
dealt with some of the important events
of the past few months. His views con-
corning the Coxey movement, the railroad
strike. the action of the President in using
troops to enforce federal laws and other
kindred questions, are such as are enter
tanned by intelligent and law-abiding citi-
zens generally. If they do not throw any
new light on the subject it is gratifying
to find that the conclusions of a great jurist
like Judge Cooley are c~onfirmatory of those
reached by the press of the country in
favor of legal and constitutional methods.
1t is evident that Judge Cooley does not
believe in compulsory arbitration nor in
any method of settling labor controversies
that would interfere with the personal lib
erty or rights of either party. He believes,
however, that much can be done in the
way Of preserving good relations between
employers and employees by an honest OBJ
servance and strict enforcement of con-
tracts entered into when the service be-
gins. OF this there is no doubt and it is
a point that deserves the attention of all
employers and of law-making bodies
whether most employers and laborers can
not be brought under the operation of a
law requiring such contracts to be made.

\ Novelty in Counterfeit Coin.

There has lately been very wide
circulation of counterfeit coin in Ameri
can cities, notably in New York, where
the conductors on the street railway
cars are said to have had spurious
dollars, half dollars, quarters, dimes and
five cent pieces returned to them by the
management Of the line. to make good,
in unprecedented quantities. In some
cases the amount refunded by the con-
ductor in one day has reached to 81 or s..
There appears to have been similar
activity on the part of countteiters i'll
the city of Berlin, where 4 singular fact
has come to light. 1t appears that a
German coiner has succeeded in putting
into circulation throughout the city a
large number of l-mark pieces, which
have the popularity of being actually of
more value, regarded as silver coins,
than the genuine mark pieces issued by
the state. Their color, their ring"
and their stamping are all so like the
real article that only very practiced
eve can detect them. Their only faults
are that they feel a little greasy, and
that the edges of the letters in their in
scriptions are not quite SO precisely
finished as those on the genuine coins.
The remarkable thing about them is
that while the real mark (equal to
twenty-five cents) is, in the present
state of the silver market, only thirty
five pfennigs, the imitation marks are
each worth forty pfennigs.

\ Queens Taste.


Queen Victoria possesses one of the
finest cellars OF wine in Europe. The
accumulation of stock during the past
twenty years has been enormous, and
the large cellars at Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace are now filled al
most to the extent of their capacity.
The collection of old ports, sherres,
and especially Madeiras, is extremely
fine, great quantities of these wines
having been purchased 10y George ~,
and now, OF course, represent some OF
the rarest vintages. 1t isa curious fact
that the 1920 port, of which there is Il
considerable stock, is nearly as dark
and full-bodied rs it must have been the
day it was bottled, and in this respect
affords Il wonderful contrast to the 1854
and 1913 wines, both of which have al
most entirely lost their color. There is
also a wonderful collection of Cabinet
Rhine wines, presented to Her Majesty
at various times by her German rela-
tives. Mr.. Thomas kingscote holds the
excellent post of Gentleman of the
Cellar, and his duties are of an exceed
inglv agreeable nature, being chiefly
confined to satisfying himself that the
various wines under his charge are not

man of the Cellar has II charming suite
