QUAIL Law Violated

Indiana has law that prohibits the
sale of quails. This law was passed
with the end in view of protecting
about the only game bird left in the
state from the market hunter and the
game hog. Despite this law qualls are
today and every day being sold in the
markets, 1t is said. The dealers, in
order to evade the law and its cOnse
quences, call the birds "short-billed
snipe. They smother their con-
sciences and deliberately do that which
they know is unlawful and wrong. No
one attempts to stop them-no one
complains against them and there is
practically no provision made for the
enforcement of the just ond proper law

Justice Weber tried an interesting
case last Saturday which was brought
to him from Polk township The facts
which led TO the case are as follows:
The son of Thomas j. Shelly, of Polk
township, engaged in a quarrel with
several of the neighbors boys. Last
Sunday evening young Shelly drove his
sisters to country church In the
neighDorhood While he was on the
inside, the other parties msliclously
filled his buggy with stove wood. Com
ing out, young Shelly discovered the
trick and without any ado began to
clear the buggy of its load. AT this
juncture six boys stepped up and re-
loaded the wood as fast as it was
thrown to the ground. The boys were
arrested Friday on the charge of
maliciously damaging the buggy. La
the trial last Saturday they were all
found guilty. Four of them now Ian
guish in jail in default of their separate
fines of $1,000. The other two have
handed over that sum.

MOUNT AND TURPIE'S TOGA.

1t may be true that ames A.
Mount is asking no legislator to vote
for him and that he is using no di-
rect influence towards securing votes,
but there are other and equally po-
tent ways of accomplishing the same
end. Mounts whole conduct of his
present office has been bid for
senatorial honors. Take that story
told the other day, for instance. 1t
was given out in Mr.. Fairbanks
paper exclusively that Mount had
been offered the senatorship
provided he would hand over the
benevolent institutions to the 'sspoils-
men," etc., and he sternly and brave
ly refused. This story was made
the basis of an editorial, also in Mr..
Fairbanks paper, laudatory of the
governor. There was an air of in
nocence about the whole affair, but
it was, in reality, strong bid on
the pat of the governor for the
senatorial place. 1t appealed to the
conservative men in his party be-
cause he was alleged to De so staunch
in his defense of the non-partisan-
ship of the institutions mentioned,
and 1t also appealed to the "spoils-
men" because it suggested means
of putting Mount out of their way.
Both could vote him into the senate,
one to honor him and the other to
rid themselves of his opposition to
introducing politics and politicians
into state institutions.
The story, however, will not wash.
1t was Mr.. Fairbanks indirect and
very cunning way of mixing in the
senatorial scramble without appear
ing to do SO.
Mount is in it, and so is Fair
banks, and the subsequent proceed
ings will bear out this statement
