NIAGARA HARNESSED.

On October 4, 1890, the Niagara
Falls Power company began the
work of turning the vast power of
Niagara to commercial use. At a
point mile and a half above the
falls wide and deep lateral canal
was constructed. This is 1000 feet
in length, lined with heavy masonry,
and pieced by numerous gateways.
Through these water is conducted
into wheel pits, from which it is re-
turned to the river bed through a
large tunnel.
Negotiations are now pending for
the transmission to the city of Buffa-
10 of an initial electric current of
10000 horse power.
On April I'd the largest and most
complete alternator ever constructed
was put in motion, and it's electric
energy sent broadcast. The expert
mental period has passed, and now
there only remains the utilization OF
this mysterious force in every depart
ment of business.

thrown up on the beach during the
struggle, torn and horribly manned,
so that they died in very few min.
utes. The whole surface Of the ocean
in the immediate vicinity was
churned TO foam by the flashing OF
the long tails, while here and there a
reddish tinge in the water showed
where the combat waxed 6ercest.
No sooner was an alligator killed
than the sharks turned on his car
cass, tore it to pieces and devoured
it voraciously. This done, the in
creasing ebullition in another place
indicated that the war was begin
ming with renewed vigor to decide
this local supremacy of the sea.
Only few sharks were killed, al.
though many must have been badly
torn by the huge jaws OF the aliga-
tors. One of the alligators thrown
on the beach still had a piece of
sharks I'm clenched in his teeth.
For halt the day we watched the
battle, until at last the level of the
lake went down, the volume of
water coming through the crevasse
decreased, and no more alligators
were seen. The foam on the surface
OF the ocean became less and less,
until at last only the occasional
swirl of a sharks tail showed where
some ofthe alligators still struggled,
or where the huge fish were fighting
among themselves over the disin-
tegrated carcasses, Finally, nothing
disturbed the CLASSY surface of the
ocean as it rose and fell bur the dip
pings of some of the shore birds as
they swooped down on the small
pieces offesh floating here and there,
which had been neglected by the
sharks in their hunt for and battle
with the big game,

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

What is known in state craft as
the Monroe doctrine was established
by President Monroe in his message
to congress Dec. %, 1923. In this
message he outlined policy which
the United States has ever since fol-
lowed. Here is that part OF his mes
sage which promulgates the policy:
1t was stated at the commence
ment Of the last session that great
effort was then making in Spain and
Portugal to improve the condition
of the people OF those countries, and
that it appeared to be conducted
with extraordinary moderation. 1t
need scarcely be remarked that the
result has been, so far, very different
from what was then anticipated. OF
events in that quarter OF the globe,
with which we have so much inter-
course, and from which we derive
our origin, we have always been
anxious and interested spectators.
The citizens of the United States
cherish sentiments the most friendly,
in favor of the liberty and happiness
of their fellowmen on that side OF the
Atlantic. In the wars OF the
European powers, in matters relat-
ing to themselves, we have never
taken any part, nor does il comport
with our policy so TO do. 1t is only
when our rights are invaded, or Sc
riously menaced, that we resent in-
juries, or make preparation for our
defense. With the movements in this
hemisphere we are, OF necessity,
more Immediately connected, and by
causes which must be obvious to all
enlightened and impartial observers.
The political system Of the allied
powers is essentially different, in this
respect, from that OF America. This
difference proceeds from that which
exists in their respective govern.
ments. And to the defense OF our
own, which has been achieved by the
loss of so much blood and treasure
and matured by the wisdom OF their
most enlightened citizens, and under
which we have enjoyed unexampled
felicity, this whole nation is devoted.
We owe it, therefore, to candor and
to the amicable relations existing be-
tween the United States and those
powers, to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part
to extend their system to any por-
ton of this hemisphere as dangerous
to our peace and safety. With the
existing colonies or dependencies of
any European power we have not
interfered, and shall not interfere.
But, with the governments who have
declared their independence, and
maintained it, and whose indepen.
dence we have, on great considera-
ton, and on just principles, acknowl-
edged, we could not view any inter-
position for the purpose of Cypress
ing them, or controlling, in any
other manner, their destiny by any
European power, in any other light
than as the manifestation of an I'M
friendly disposition toward the
United States.

WHAT Is 4 HOUSEHOIDERs

peculiar construction has been placed
upon the new road law in Douglas county
because the word householder instead Of
"freeholder' Is used. According 20 the de-
cis.on OF the commissioners OF that coun-
~, householder means the head Of a
family, and nothing else. The decision
grew out OF a road contest. where the
question was raised as to who was meant
by the term householder" The commits
sloners have ruled that householder means
the head OF a family, and does not neces-
ssrily mean the owner OF property. To
this extent they are right. but It Is repre-
scented that they hold. therefore, that an
unmarried property holder Is disqualified
from having any legal rights as a petit
TONER IN road matters. and accord TO the
portionless married man a privilege not
generally supposed 10 be Intended by the
legislature.
The Douglas county commissioners seem
10 have taken rather an extreme view, al
though the term householder does not, OF
course, mean necessarily a property own
err. In Oregon it has been held that "a
single man who keeps house and servants
IS a householder within an act requiring
petitioners for the opening Of a road to be
such" In New York Il has been decided
that lessor OF mill and the owner OF the
machinery therein is a householder. In
Texas a single man who rented a house
which he occupied with his brother was de-
clared 20 be a householder, bat Lord Chief
Justice Cockburn thought that "a man
cannot be a householder who has not an
independent occupation" servant who

bur that the defendant is not guilty or has

lions are made 10 doubt because OF the
great number OF acquittals on technical
grounds. the great criminal lawyers hav-
ing made the world believe that technical
errors are OF really more importance than
the guilt or innocence Of the accused
Justice Brewer would sweep all this rails

defendant is or Is not guilty.
In many minds there is an opposition TO
expe6iting trials and speedily reaching
final Judgment, decision or decree, pos
SHY because OF a fear Of error through
haste or a miscarriage OF justice by rea-
son OF popular clamor. No doubt the pre-
1udice against criminal is greater imrne-
diateIy after the revelation Of the crime
than later and the imposition OF penalty
al once might in some cases be more Sc
we're than a calm and imprisoned review
OF the circumstances would warrant. On
the other hand much OF the force OF JUS
tice IS lost by delay. One reason for in
nlctlng punishment for crimes is that
others may be deferred from committing
them. IL ny legdi processes Cases dA ScN-
tlnued and carried over month after month
and year after year, the salutary effect OF
promptly paying the penalty for wrong
doing IS lost. justice is cheated out Of
what It rightfully entitled to and the pub

Radical changes will not. OF course.
come quickly. The processes Of law have
grown slowly and our system OF Jurispru-
dence is held in such high regard that
even the slightest innovations are certain
TO meet with opposition. Unnecessary de-
lays have come to characterize so much
American litigation. however, that some
sort OF reform IS conceded to be emf
nently desirable. When a Justice or the
supreme court OF the United States urges
It, there can be little question OF its neces-
sity. and. as the great majority of the peo-
pie will indorse the views from such a
high authority, 1t is not improbable that
some OF tho reforms desired may be Sc
cured.
