Law AND HUMANITY
A Decision which Seems 70 Work
a Great Hardship to
widow

Over IN New York state according
to the papers the Supreme Court
has recently handed down an opinion
affirming the lower court which
seems peculiar. A mar who was
quite wealthy some years ago, or
who supposed he was, made a will
directing that his widow erect a
s2B O00 monument 20 his memory.
AT his death, which occurred not
long ngo, it was found that his for
tune. through bad investments
made by him, had been dissipated
and that only some a35, goo remained
His widow applied TO the court to
be relieved from expending the
amount named in his will for a
monument on the ground that to do
so would practically consume the
entire estate and leave her without
means Of support. The court held
that the terms of the will must be
complied with and this ruling has
been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
So the widow must expend ss5, 900
out of $500 dollar estate tor a
monument.
The Court apparently did not take
into consideration the altered cir.
cumstances of the man between the
time when his will was made and
when it became operative. This
may be good law, and it is Of course
if the court says so, but such decis.
ions often lead the lay mind to
wonder whether after all law is
justice.

Ann is 1s Years Old

Mary is "A years old. Mary is
twice as old as Ann was when Mary
was as old as Ann is now. How
old is Ann?
This problem has been going the
rounds Of the papers for several
weeks and has evoked many answers
A correspondent in. the Blairstown
Press solves the problem as follows
Is he correct;
"SoLUTIoN-24 years divided by 2
equals the age Of Ann when Mary
was as old as Ann is now. Dividing
tue time from when Ann was 12
years old to when Mary is "a years
old "a period of 10 years) by 2 equals
the difference IN their ages e years. )
Taking 8 years from "a years
(Mary's age) we find the age Of Ann
IS years. Adding G years to Ann 3
age when she was u years old equals
the age of Mary when Mary was as
old as Ann is now - 1s years.
Answer 20 problem. Mary is "a
years old, Ann Is 1s years old.
When Mary was IS years old the age
Ann Is now. Ann was ~ years old
or one half as old as Mary is now. 4"

whiskey and Oranges

An article is now going the rounds
which asserts that when a person
who is addicted to the free use Of
whiskey feels a desire for a spree he
should at once resort to the use Of
oranges. Every time the desire
comes on, let him eat oranges freely
and continue as long as the desire
remains, using if needed twenty
oranges q day. 1t is asserted that
several instances are known where
this remedy was successful. 1t is
believed the acid appeases the alco-
holic desire.

Deer Plentiful

Deer over in Jersey are protected
until 1905 and sportsmen and the
farmers down in Warren county have
to restrain their impatience while
numerous fine specimens roam over
their premises. 1t is said a large
number of deer have been released
from Buckwood Park because of
scarcity Of food and that farmers will
have to winter them. If a deer
becomes a trespasseF and destroys
crops there should be no protection
for him and it would seem that a
farmer would be justified in protect
ing his property from their depreda-
tions.

Smallpox Widespread

Over one hundred cases of small
pox, all however of mild form. are
reported in the upper end of North
ampton county. A member of the
state board of health who visited
the section says the disease is spread
over the largest territory he has
found anywhere in eight months.
The districts are all quite we'll
organized and some Of the schools
have closed for the present. In Bath
the children have all been ordered
vaceinated and the churches and
Sunday schools have been thorough
ly fumigated. DIR. Croft, of the
state board of health, who has had
wide experience in the West Indies
and Porto Rico says there is no such
thing as Hungarian itch but that
the cases are genuine smallpox.
In Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
where the disease also exists, it is of
much more maiignent nature, and
in the former city about 81 per cent
prove fatal.

A Michigan man thinks he has
made a discovery in the matter of
fattening hogs that promises some
thing new. All are familiar with
she charms of pork and beans,
served separately on the table. This
Michigan man proposes to feed beans
to tho hogs and when the pork is
served the beans and meat are all
together without separate cooking
Il is said TO make a very toothsome
moroel. This will add a new method
to the already numerous ways Of
making pork. That made with corn
is, Of course, the standard ; bat there
are others. We have the molasses
fed hog, the peanut fed hog, the
alfalfa hog, the hog over in Canada
that WAKES fat on a pea diet, and the
razorbaok that lives on fresh air.

President Roosevelt has sent to
the Senate the nomination Of Brig
adler General Leonard Wood to be
major general, and the question of
his confirmation has given the gener-
ais enemies the long looked for op-
portunity to appempt to check his
career of rapid advancement. The
nomination was referred to the COM
mittee on Military Affairs which
will hold a public sitting to hear all
the protests against making him a
major general. If he is confirmed,
he will become head Of the army in
1908 and can remain such until his
retirement in 1924, thus preventing
a long list of older officers, who are.
his interiors in rank from ever hold
ing the position. Many officers of
the army declare that as Wood was
merely an army surgeon before the
war with Spain, his rapid rise was
due to political influence and is
unjust to older officers. Senator
Teller, stating he has no personal
interest in the matter, has come
forth as the protector Of these OH
GERS and demands that the nomina-
zion be held up until the generals s
military record can be examined.
The most bitter opponent of General
Wood is Major Estes n. Rathborne,
formerly director Of posts in Cuba,
and who are convicted Of defrauding
the government. Wood did all he
could to bring Rathborne to justice.
The Major declares his innocece. and
says he was prosecuted for political
reasons. He has a firm supporter
in Senator sHanna, who is opposed
to Woods appointment. Rathborue
makes serious charges against the
general, but IT is generally doubted
that he can sustain them. The sem
ate win probably confirm the nom
ination.

10 FREvENr sTR1KEs
Proposes to Submit Differences Be
tween Employers and Employ
ed 30 q Court


A $500 puze paper recently publish
ed in Boston on the question how
best to settle strikes recommends a
system Of state courts to be called
Industrial courts, and that these
courts shall appoint for each industry
or for a group Of industries a com
missioner to whom all cases of
discipline shall be referred and from
whose decision an appeal may be
taken to the Industrial court.
In case Of danger of riOting, or
other disturbance Of the peace, the
government may at its discretion
take charge Of the labor part of the
business or industry involved and
hold them employing laborers to take
the places made vacant by the
strikers until the differences are ad-
jusied. The plan is somewhat elabo-
rate but seems practical and a peace
able way Of settling strikes. Certain
~ both employers and the employed
should welcome a feasible and fair
way Of settling differences and pre-
venting losses by destruction OF
property. The labor question is one
Of growing magnitude and the surest
and most satisfactory method of ad-
justing the differences which may and
will arise should be approved by ali
whose interests are most directly
concerned.

THE WASHINGTON LITTER.

Up to the present the most inter
esting debate in Congress occurred
in the Senate relative to the recep
tion OF the great number Of petitions
which has been sent that body from
all parts Of the country, demanding
that Hon. Reed Smoot, the Mormon
Senator from Utah, be expelled from
the Senate on th5 ground that he is
an apostle of the Mormon church,
and as such was compelled to take
an oath Of allegiance to his church
as the highest civil as we'll as relig-
ious authority in the land. Most Of
these petitions are printed blanks
which have been distributed
throughout the country to be signed
and sent to senators. They are signed
principally by women's organiza-
tions, such as the Daughters Of the
American Revolution and the W. G.
T. o., and religious organizations.
In many cases the phraseology Of
the petitions is identical, showing
that they emanated from the same
source. Former Secretary John G.
Carlisle is to appear before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, as counsel for the petit
tioners. When the petitions were
presented, Senator Hoar declared
that they were out of order, as the
question was a judicial one to be
decided by the Senate Committee,
and that petitioning that committee.
was as much out Of place as petit
tioning the Supreme Court of the
United States. Senator Dubois Of
Idaho took issue with Senator Hoar
and declared that "these various or
CARNATIONS of Christian men and
women have right TO petition the
Senate and it is their duty to do so.
They know what they are
doing. They represent the moral
thought of the country and should
not be discouraged. !" Most of the
public men here disagree with SEN
ator Dubois and believe that instead
Of representing the moral thought
of the country, they represent the
narrow ,bigotry of those who are
happiest when they are attacking
religion which is not identical with
their own, There is not the slight
est chance of forcing Senator Smoot
to give up his seat, and many people
believe that the mere investigation
of his eligibility is an unworthy
concession to the united bigotry of
the country.
