The mystery of life and death was
never more painfully exemplified than in
the passing of Bernard Michel Of the
many men of great mental and moral
force who have made up the sum of the
citizenship of st. Paul no one would be
placed aaead of the deceased gentleman
His life had been a painstaking demon
stration Of the capacity for good to his
fellow creatures which may be found in
the career of every intelligent man. Yet
after having offered an inspiring exam
pie Of the most perfect mental balance, q
single hour of uncertainty brought him to
his grave, the victim of his own hand
Few men may regard themselves as hay
ing control of their faculties for all pur-
poses if the deceased gentleman had end
ed his life only to escape insanity.

The revolutionists of Venezuela insist
that the president of the Venezuelan re-
public, indeed, the government Of the re-
public itself, is without money. They
will have hard time to convince any
one of the truth of their statement. If
the statement were true, what in the
world would anyone think of going into
a revolution for? No; if Venezuela is
bankrupt it is secure against ali POSSIBLE
ity of revolution.

That rule laid down by Secretary Gage
which practically debars from office the
government employee who does not pay
his debts is one which every department.

could adopt and enforce with advantage.
The legal fiction that it is against public
policy to force a public employee TO pay
his debts has been productive Of more
dead beats in public employment than
can be found in any other occupation.

The Chicago Chronicle has concluded
that President Roosevelt is not the he
roic figure which many supposed him
to be. Perhaps not; but the man who
will turn down senator of character

up nincompoop and swell-head like Bev-
eridge is not wholly without the qualities
of the hero, even if he leaves no doubt
that he has also the qualities which are
regarded as predominant in Beveridge.

RIGHT OF JURY rRI41.

Another Chicago judge has been heard
from On the subject of injunctions and
contempt-of-c court proceedings. The lat
est judicial Illumination, necessitated by
one or other phase of the now notorious
Alis-Chalmers picketing process, is quite
at variance with others which the same
occurrence has brought out from time to
time within the past few months.
In this case the Chicago judge declares
that picketing is quite legal, if resorted
to peacefully; that the men have right
to picket the vicinity and to use moral
suasion in endeavorfng to induce those
at work to quit, and that nothing except
the use of violence by them should OPP
crate to cause a court to enioin them
from the prosecution of their picketing
operations.
The picketing question is not especially
important. It is in the attitude taken by
Judge Chetlain against the granting of
orders for the punishment of those charg-
ed with violation Of such iniunctions
without according to them the right Of
trial by jury that the learned jurist
launches his judicial thunderbolt. He felt
compelled to issue the temporary injunc-
ton in the case, he declared, on the allie
cation of the plaintiff that the picketers
were using force and violence When the
picketers were brought before the court
for violation of the terms of the injunc-
ton the judge demurred and refused to
recognize the right of the court to pun
ish the prisoners without giving them
trial by jury. In this connection he
uses very forceful language, as follows:
1.-THE constitution of this state contem-
plates that in all criminal cases the ac-
cuSed shall have the right to trial by
jury. There is scarcely an offense known
to the criminal calendar which does not
involve some invasion of property rights
If, where any property right is thus
threatened, party interested may, upon
allegation OF irreparable injury resort to
equity to enjoin a crime alleged to be
contemplated, it is obvious that by
logical extension to such cases of the
principles which / have felt compelled to
follow in this case, the jurisdiction Of
chancery can be Indefinitely extended to
the gendral enforcement of the penal
CODE and then upon allegation Of viola
ton of injunctions thus obtained, parties
can be tried in a summary way nom
in&lly for contempt but really for crime
Nothing could be more unfortunate
than such a situation In a free and
popular government trial by jury must
be maintained in the administration of
the criminal law
The Globe does not know what
the condition of the statute law Of Hi
nois is in this regard. 1t may be that
the Illinois statute does invest the court
with the power to punish men brought
before it on such an offense without the
intervention of a jury and that the law
of Judge Chetlain is accordingly open
to question. But if the statutes of Hi
nos do admit of such action, they ought
to be amended. The court which has the
absolute right to pass upon the criminal
ity of an act performed out of its pres
ence, and to punish accordingly, is an
autocratic public agency, and should be
allowed no place in the legal or political
machinery of the American people.

Usefulness of the Bat.

The cruel practice of capturing a
number of bats and crucffying them
on the doors Of barns, stables, or even
Of houses, has been somewhat aban-
doned, even in the country. But due
credit Is not yet given to the great ser
vices which these ugly creatures rem
der. 1t can be said that, after the
birds, it is the most useful aid of the
agriculturist. 1t makes war of ex-
termination on the innumerable in
sects and caterpillars which devastate
the crops. 1t devours flies by millions
and millions. Some figures based on
the authority of learned naturalists
are remarkable.
For one Of his repasts a bat does not
eat less than thirteen caterpl1ars, and
in twenty-fOur hours the smallest spec
linen will easily eat eighty flies or
more.
Besides, this ugly thing is extremely
clean. as much so as the most refined

covers an area OF 700 acres, every acre
Of which, except six, is permanently
set In grass.
The fields were first set In blue grass
twenty years ago, when Mr.. Cassatt
acquired the property, and nearly all
Of them have remained unfallowed
since. But 1t has required much per-
severance and unremitting labor to
produce the magnificent turf Of to-
day. Every year since that date one
field has been treated to a sowing Of
two quarts of timothy. one quart Of
alsike and one quart Of red clover per
acre. This is sown broadcast on the
snow IN late February, or early March,
Just as the pores of the earth are
opening with the first thaw When
the turf is free Of snow the chain har-
row is passed over It to loosen the
grass, and then It is rolled. A top
dressing with the manure spreader is
administered every spring and fall,
and every four years an application Of
forty bushels Of lime to the acre is
made. The grass, both in quantity
and quality is improving each season,
It yields about one and O half tons
of hay per acre, and offers grand pas
turage a week after the harvest. Two
hundred and sixty-seven tons Of hay
were housed from q portion of the
farm this season apart from the pas
turage afforded over 200 horses, $50

Years ago q little Scottish lad used to
tend sheep on a hillside. Those were
lonely hours when he kept his night
watch. But he did not go to sleep and
forget his charge. He kept himself
awake, and learned much as he
watched the stars, calculating their pO-
sltion by the help Of string Of beads.
Years went by and he had a chance
to study as he wished. And he be-
came the famous astronomer, Fergu-
son.
If he had slept away or idled away
those long hours on the quiet hillside,
he would not have won the place that
be did.
