ABUSE OF POWER.


1t appears that the frequent abuse
Of power by Democra tic officeholders
is not always confined to politics. Not
long ago a man was arrested In Ohics-
20 and taken to Louisville Oh q chAfge
Of abduoting his own child. II was
known that the court Of appeals had
decided that man cannot abduct his
own child, yet the man was indicted,
brought to Kentucky-and promptly
turned loose. The excuse given by
the commonwealth attorney was
thst he had the indictment brought in
order to get the man back to Ken
lucky and assist, IL possible, the mother
to recover the child. This prompts the
Lexington Herald 10 remark:
1--WE cannot believe that the report
or accurately reports the statement Of
Mr.. Huffaker, the commonwealth at
torney; for II so it is an outrage not
only against Harvey s. Barnes but
against the sovereignty Of Kentucky
and against the liberty Of every oiti-
zen. Il is also an utterly indefensi-
BILE prostitution Of the power Of the
grand jury and humiliation Of the
criminal court Of Louisville.
As soon as the wife obtained possession
of the child the commonwealth at
torpey in open court ann ounced that he
was aware that the indictment was
not good; that the Kentucky court Of
appeals had held q number of times
that father could not be indicted for
abducting his own child; that he had
only recommended to the grand jury
to return this indictment in order to
help the mother secure possession Of
her child; whereupon the court dis
missed the Indictment, and, strange to
say, the learned judge proceeded to
admonish this man, who had been out
ragged, who had been illegally arrested
in Chicago, lawlessly transported from
Chicago to Louisvili and there turned
loose, because the whole proceedings
against him from the beginning to
the termination were absolutely with
out legal foundation and were law
less.
II this be true, it is criminal NAL
feasance in office of the common
wealth's attorney. 1t is a most repre-
hensiple course of conduct upon the
part of the judge. 1t is the law ess
use Of criminal court for the pur-
pose of carrying out the judgments of
a civil tribunal. There has
been quite a number Of cases in which
the criminal courts have been used as
instruments to enforce siyil claims
and, IL the crime can be more heinous,
used for political purposes. We are
becoming nabituated in Kentucky to
the prostitution of judicial tribunals
and proceedings for personal, pecuni-
airy and political purposes, and case
like this excites no comment, creates
no sensation, causes no oensure. q .
The people of Kentucky need to
be more sensitive concerning the uses
Co which our courts have been and are
being put. Judges in Kentucky need
TO be more careful in their conduct"

According to reports some Of the
city officials are being asked about ex-
tending the sanitary sewerage to 9th
er sections OF the city. The new char
ter enables this to be done by blocks,
IL advisable. We should like to see
the people in every locality have ssni-
tary sewerage, but it seems to us that
the city should require the people to
use the sanitary sewerage they already
have before building more.

clean, wittyand full of snap and
the many special fea lures are
all new and up.to date. There
is plot and good sore. The

fortune of one Cobb" and he
certainly has his share. There
are all kinds OF complications
and Misunderstanding abd the

EASY TO BREAK WILLS.
Public Opinion Will Not Allow In
Justice to BE Done.

IuotCG 10 DC SSUGs
A lawyer of note was asked what
change had come over the courts that
permitted wills to be SO frequently
invalidated. He replied: I'VE hold
to-day that a father and mother are
responsible for the welfare of the.
children they bring into the world,
and that no matter how bad such
children may be they must not be a
charge upon the community, but must
be cared for by their parents IL un-
able to support themselves. A recent
case, for instance: A man worth
some $20,000,000 cuts of a hayward
sen, his excuse being that the boy r.
incapable of taking care of himself
or his fortune. BY what right does
that father make his son an outcast7
You may safely wager that the will
is to be broken unless the rest OF the
children agree to an equal division.
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt could
have broken his fathers will, and
would have done it IL he had not mar
ried very rich girl and his brother
had not come down so handsomely.
He is worth S1O,OOO,OOo to-day, which
is enough for anybody. York

Byron as Cricketer.

A curious point in Byron's career
is brought to light by the Harrow
School Register, 1S01-1901. Hitherto
Byron has been known to fame as a
poet only. But it appears that he has
further claim. which rests on the
fact that the germ of the idea of the
Elton and Harrow match originated
with him. In the year 1905 he ar
ranged a cricket match, the teams
of which were principally composed
of past and present Etonians and
Harrovians respectively. - Detroit

Most Attractive Spot.
Santa Cruz, Cal, is rapidly becom-

than foresight grove of giant red
woods, in the canyon of the San
Lorenzo, little more than five miles
from town, escaped the AK.
Gradually it dawned upon the peo-
pie that board measure was not the
only standard by which the value of
trees could be computed. Thus the
ines of preservation were drawn
about this grove, and each year the
size, beauty and maj ty of these
.nonarcls becomes more impressive,
and each year they attract large
number of visitors.
There are about eighty trees in
This grove, ranging from thirty to
iXty feet in circumference, and from
200 to 800 feet In hight. Besides
their enormous dimensions, the curl
osities of their manner of growth
and the charm of the grove itself
combine to make this one of the
most attractive spots in California.

The Real Rulers Of Britain.

Sidney Lee has written biography
OF Queen Victoria which shows us
more plainly than we have hitherto
known 1t what her relations were with
the statesmen who ruled England dur
Ing her reign. She, while queen and
empress of India, was only a figure
head, while Gladstone and Disraeli,
Palmerston and Lord John Russell,
Peel and Aberdeen were the real ruI-
ers OF England. They were nominaIly
inferior to her. They were really her
snperiors not only in intellect, but in
power, for England is a free country.
and, though she still clings to the folly
OF kingcraft, she is jealous of her lib
erty, and when she endows q man
with power she means him to exercise
it-iH spite OF all the royal families"
