the men board.

was cutting his finger nails with his
knife when Gordon made a move az
if he meant to assault him. In order
to defend himself Grogan says he
used his knife. DR.. Joseph Shellfish

at all serious. The doctor found q
slight wound about two inches in

Nothing spoils a good disposition

Itching piles almost drive you crazy.
All day il makes you miserable. All

REAsCNS GIVEN.
Why Com mission Merchants Bond-
iEx LAW II Unconstitutional.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 25.-The SUI
preme Court yesterday afternoon filed
its reasons for declaring the commits
sion merchants or fruit bonding law
unconstitutional. The case was decided
before the summer vacation OF the
court, but The reasons which compelled
the judges 10 declare the law invalid
have been held in reserve until now.
The law provides that commission
merchants should give "A bond for S5,-
600 in order 10 do business IN Michi-
gan, the condition OF the bond being
that the commission merchant would
pay for goods consigned To and sold
by him. The court says tnat acts or
this kind must nnd JOstifcati0n in the
police power of the state. The act
was not aimed mt brokers In the gen.
era meaning of the term nor AS COM
mission men except those who bought
and sold farm produce for producers
on commission.
The court says that the business OF
buying and selling on commission has
existed since commerce began, and
that there always have been dishonest
men engaged in 1t as IN other kinds or
trade. There is no more reason why
commission merchant should pay =
license fee and execute bond 10 pay
his debts and 10 do his business hon
estly,' says the court, than there Is
that any other merchant shall pay "A
Ike fee and tiie like bond TO 90 his
business properly and pay his debts.
1t is not like the liquor traffic which.
under the decisions Of every court, Is
subject 10 the police power because OF
the Injury IL does TO the health, morals
and peace Of the community, ald may
be prohibited altogether. Neither is
there anything In 1t requiring regula-
ton, as 90 hack drivers, peddlers, keep
ers of pawn shops aud the like. The
Legislature OF the state is not enpow-
cred by the constitution to regulate
contracts between It's citizens who are
engaged in legitimate commercial busi-
ness, or To require any class OF persons
10 pay a fee for the right to carry on
business, or 10 give Il bond 10 perform
their contracts which other parties may
choose 10 make with them.
The constituoin guarantees TO citi-
zenS the right 10 engage in lawful busi-
ness, unhampered by legislative re-
strictions where no restrictions are re-
Quired for the protection of the pub
lic"
The court declares the law class leg
islauOn, an unjustihable interference
with the rights OF citizens 10 carry on
legitimate business, and therefore un-
constitutional.

other French factions, following Nm

guage more picturesque than polite

A curious explanation of the method
by which longleaf pine seedlings pro-
tect themselves against forest fires is
given by Clifford Pinchet, forester Of
the department OF agriculture. In or
der TO strengthen the struggle for
existence OF the young tree nature
gives ii a thickness OF bark not IN
commonly as great as that Of the wood
itself, but the young trees have a
further device for the promotion Of
their safety when growing in long
grass, as they almost always do, In
the first four or Eve years of its growth
the longleaf Seeding seldom reaches
a height Of more than four or five
inches above the ground. But while
the stem is thus making leisurely prog
ress the long needles shoot up and
bend over in a green cascade, which
falls to the ground in a circle about
the seeding. This barrier Of green
needles not only burns with difficulty
but shades out the grass around the
young stem, and so prepares O double
ars-resisting shield about the vttals oi
the young tree. This is the reason
why Gre. which has kept down tht
growth Of evergreen oaks in parts O
Florida, for example, has made a pur,
forest Of pines in a region where oak:
thrive splendidly when they are 81
placed as TO be beyond the influence O
forest fires.
