DEFENSE OF PLAGIARISM.
Are No Property Rights
in Ideas.

began TO see that thievery is the
basis of all progress, while honesty is
simply that which restraints others
until we have had a chance to enjoy
our plumber. Now this is an excellent
thing as far as things concrete are
concerned, but entirely harmful when
applied to distractions, says writer
in Ainslee's Magazine.
To state the matter briefly, truth
and beauty are eternal, and the most
any man can do is to become conscious
of them. A truth is in no wise affected
by mans discovery of it except mas
much as he mars it by stamping it with
his own individuality, but he is affected
by il. 1t widens his mental horizon as
it does that of everyone who plagiar-
ICES from him. The more it is stolen,
the more il is increased, and it is en-
tirely impossible for any man success
fully to lay claim to it as being pecul-
iarly his own. Every fundamental
idea belongs TO the race as whole,
just as does a word. Some man may be
the medium through which it finds ex-
preston, but it in no sense belongs to
him. He could not have thought out
his new idea if he had not had the bene-
fit of all the other thoughts of past
generations. Then why should we be
petty in such matters? Why not
emancipate ourselves from the tyran-
ny of the eighth commandment, which
has nothing to do with things pertain
ing to the intellectual world, and pro-
coed to develop our literature to the
point it should have attained already
Naturally, the man who first does this
will be reviled by all sorts of scrib-
blers, but his reward viii be ample. He
can go down to his grave with the
knowledge that he has done great
work, and to a man great enough to
do such thing well that viii be
sufficient reward. To him fame will
| be a matter of indifference, for he viii
| be great enough to know that he VIII
be understood only by one in millions.
| To such man the applause of the rab-
bic will be only so much sinking
breath, and he will make no bid for it.
| The desire for fame is the last infrmity
of noble minds, and only when it has
been eliminated is a man great enough
to do great things.
Of course. realize that in denying
property rights in ideas am advocat-
ing intellectual anarchy, but am will
| ing to abide by the consequences. II is
every mans duty to make the most of
| himself, and he can do that only by lay
| ing hold of the truth wherever he finds
| it. In the realms of the intellect every
| thinker is a throned monarch and rules
by divine right To accuse him of thiev-
cry is simply to be guilty of lese-ma-
| jeste. Your true genius recognizes no
mans right to withhold any truth he
may have discovered, and, indeed, it
would be as reasonable for a man who
discovers comet TO try to get title
| deed to it as it is for a man TO lay claim
1 TO any idea, thought. or truth, simply
because he had been privileged to have
it occur to him.

REWARDED FOR BRAVERY.
Woman Who Saved Two Lives In.
herits a Small Fortune
as Result.

Thirty-four years ago Mrs. Julia
Sheldon, now a seamstress in an AL
bany On. W clothing factory, saved
the lives of two persons in the Tennes-
see mountains. A few days ago she
received as a reward for her bravery
an Inheritance amounting to S12, 900.
In 1866 Mrs. Sheldon. who was then
young girl, was employed as a maid
by Mrs. Elmer Carthage, of Calves
ton, Tex. During the summer of
that year Mrs. Carthage, her daugh-
ter and the maid were travelling by
carriage through the mountains of
Tennessee. While driving down Cav
ern hill toward a creek a large dog
sprang from the roadside at the
horses. The animals, thoroughly
frightened, dashed away toward the
water below. The occupants of the
carriage were thoroughly frightened
and knew that miracle must happen
to save them from either being dashed
to death on the ground or precipi-
tated into the water to meet death
by drowning. Mrs. Carthage tainted

continued in their mad flight and
plunged into the creek. but the car
riage stopped at the edge of the
stream. Nobody was injured.
Mrs. Sheldon did not receive a re-
ward at the time. Later she married
and moved to Albany, but is now
widow and earns her own living. The
occurrence in her youthful days had
almost been forgotten when Mrs.
Carthage died a short time ago, and
friend in Connecticut apprised Mrs.
Sheldon that according TO Mrs. Car
thage's viii she was to receive S12,-
900 as a reward for saving the lives of
a mother and daughter.

Belgian Hare a Pest.

The Belgian hare as fad is a thing
OF the past. The craze is over and
now the dangers lurking in it are
beginning to suggest themselves Sc
riolsly to the public mind. 1t is real
lied that an animal possessed of such
wonderful fecundity is liable to be-
come a destructive pest if it escapes
from captivity. Repressive legisla-
ton is, therefore, deemed necessary.
The board of supervisors of San Diego
county has taken the initiative by
passing an ordinance prohibiting the
liberation of Belgian hare or per-
uniting one that may have escaped
to remain at large or unconfned.-

1t IS expected that boats will be able

eminent dam that is being constructed
at Meeker island, next summer. The
east side of the dam is rapidly nearing

locks will be put in place before cold
weather interferes-
Preliminary work has been COM

is about 100 yards from the west shore,

The rate of taxation for the state
revenue purposes has been fixed at l.
mills, which is decrease of lilo of a
mill from that of last year. The rev.
enue rate has not been so low for a
long time In 1854 it was Is, and in
1881 it fell to Il, which was the lowest
figure There were then few state in
stitutions and it is now contended that
the rate this year is the lowest COM
paratively in the history of the state.
Last year the total assessed valua-
tion OF state property, real and per
sonal, was S5S5, 600, 900. The rate for
revenue purposes was LA mills, which
applied produced revenue of Ss19, 600.
This years total assessed valuation
will be about 5000, 600. 900, which with
the rate of LIS mills will produce a rev.
enue of $3.50, 900. Auditor Dunn thinks
this amount sufficient, but the legisla-

The Ramsey county grand jury has
voted a true bill against E. P. Corbett,
charging murder in the first degree.
Corbett is the deputy game warden
who shot and killed Joseph Mrozinski
Sept 20.
The scene of the tragedy was the
Mississippi river, opposite the North
Star brewery.
Corbett alleges that the shooting
was done in self-defense and he was
INDICATED by the verdict of the coron-
er's jury. The county attorney de-
clined to accept that view of the mat
ter and took the case before the grand
jury, which voted a true bill.

POLLING FAVORS M'KINLEY.
Voluntary BalIoting in Chicago Of.
fee Buildings Gives President
Preference.

Judging by the results OF the polls
being taken in the big Office buildings
in Chicago, an immense vote will be
piled up for Mckinley and Roosevelt in
the republican wards of the city. That
this will be true has become evident by
the result of the poll in Marshall Field
& Co.'S big store; in the Marquette
building, where the vote is five to one,
and in the Monadnock building, where
it is six to one in favor of the admins
tration. The Rookery, one of the
largest Office buildings, shows a still
larger Mckinley percentage, the ratio
being nine to one. The vote of the
Rookery in detail is as follows:
mckinley 10
Bryan ....-...-.-.-.-.... IL
Woolley -......-..-........-...-..
Noncommittal ~
Undecided 70

This class of voters is largely the
same as supported Cleveland in 1892,
and indicates to a certainty how the
business men of the city feel toward
continuing the present good times.
