TWO JUDGATENfS.

The other day MT. Lawrence Holsky of Ohio tackled a problem which would have stumped anybody but an Ohio man. His wife had sued for a divorce, and he got notion that she, hot being legally separated from him, was under obligation to take care of him, and he applied to the court for relief. The judge thereupon issued an injunction restraining Mrs. Holsky from refusing to make the bed for her husband daily, from refusing to cook meals for him as usual, and from refusing to perform any other household duties commonly performed by housewives.
 It doth not yet appear how much at tention Sister Holsky has paid to this injunction, and when it does appear we expect that it will appear that she hasn't been much impressed by it. But it does appear that a Chicago judge. doesn't feel as capable of dealing with a determined woman as the Ohio judge did. Paul Bakos, Chicago man, went to court to secure an order from the judge compelling his wife to cook his meals. Judge Kavanagh said: This passes the limit. Even if I ordered the woman to prepare food I could not com pei obedience. Neither can I make her stay continually in the house"
 Of course not. Woman is so far above man and man-made law that it might as well be recognized that she is entitled to do as she pleases and that whatever she pleases to do is right now and forevermore, Amen.

ent circumstances no one would pro- pose to weaken the force which occu- pied the province of Chi-ii. and which had gradually become the mainstay of the maintenance of peace throughout the whole of China. The reserve of 500 men at Kiaochou must also in the meantime be left there. This force was required for the eventuality of neees- sary reinforcement of the international corps os occupation in Chilli, and it might, perhaps, also be required fin or der to protect German neutrality in the Kiaochou territory" The mainte- nance of the garrisons in Chi-li and at Kiaochou in their present strength was dictated by German interest quite apart from international agreements which were still in force. In other circun- stances they might be able to entertain the idea Of terminating these engage ments toward other Powers, but at present this was impossible. and none of the governments concerned had any thought of withdrawing or diminish ing the military forces which they kept in that part of the world in order to safeguard their policy.

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIoS.

The Quarles bill. which passed the senate the other day. is move in the right direction. As the law now stands, it is possible to perfect a title to a hun- dred and sixty acres of timbered land within sixty days after entry; and an industrious settler in the employ of a sppeculator or a numbering syndicate may easily get five hundred acres a year for his employer. If the Quarles bill should become law only the right to cut timber would thereafter be sold, the title to the land remaining in the government and the cutting being regu- lated by the Secretary of the Interior. That would make it possible for the government to apply to what remains of the timber land the rules of scientific forestry, in order to prevent absolute denudation and ensure continuous succession of crops by preserving the young growth.
 It is to be hoped that interested ones will not be able to defeat this needed and timely measure. Scientific forestry has great field in this country, and the sooner and more generally it gets to work here the better

A Fasclnssimg sh.ms.

To the Editor of the Journal aud Courier:
 How great matter little fire kin dleth!" Thus exclaimed Solitary in an hour of reverie, after reading your editorial comments on the attitude of Kate Upson Clark concerning marrying genius. There followed in the Courier of the 21st inst. communication from one admitting her lively interest in the fascinating theme. The flame may be sufficiently comfortable and cheering in these raw March days to stimulate ex- pression from others possessing warm hearts, though annoyed by cold hands. Thus your correspondents may increase, though a better grasp of the subject (the theme, or the genius,) be not at tained thereby.
 We have sought for ourselves 8 more satisfactory description of genius. but find such is not what Is usually accept of Miss Clark, namely. "0ne having re- markable aptitude for some special pur- suit, art or study' The genius we happily contemplate is more compre- hensive being. Since such are rare types of humanity, our queries will re- late to actual specimens-not the ideal.
 Is it not because of the serious linita- tions of most persons of genius that the higher art of living is. so feebly under stood and wofully practiced? Were there greater degree of self-knowl- edge, with possession of the so-called domestic virtues, simplicity, sincerity and devotion, would not the highest possibilities in matrimonial relations be more frequently realized?
 If one of limited genius seeks com panion and helpmate possessing other distinctive qualities, may not such un- ion expand and enrich the lives of each? ? -the spirit of mutual helpfuIness sub duing the baser selfishness of the in- dividual?
 Where may the greatest genius in any specific art find life's richest fulfilment, save in alliance with the genius of good ness and unselfish love?

4 sUCcEssFUL SYSTEM.

South Carolinas dispensary system has, it appears, paid in money way as well as in other ways. She thinks so much of it that she has appealed to the United States Supreme court against the decision of the Court of Claims in the case involving the right of the fed- eral government to collect a special li- cense tax from the State as seller of intoxicating liquors. It is the States contention that it's dispensary system is an adjunct of the police power exer- cised by the commonwealth which the federal government cannot tax consti- tutionally, but Chief Justice Nott of the Court of Claims, who gave the opinion of the court, held that it is a commercial quite as much as police enterprise He said: From the evil denee submitted it seems clear that the commercial character of the States un- dertaking is stamped unnistakably up- on the system. The statute establish ing it authorized a profit of 50 per cent. and contemplated large profits, direct ing the manner in which they should be utilized and distributed. As mat ter of fact, the system has been a great commercial success. and has yielded large profits. The national government does not interfere with the exercise of the police power, but the national gov- ernment cannot be compelled, directly or indirectly. to aid it. The police pow CT extends no further than the general welfare. The general welfare is one thing; exemption from taxation is an- other.
 It will be interesting to see how the Supreme court looks at this matter.

GLHMdAY IN CHINA.

Baron Richthofen's statement in the German Reiehstag concerning the Ger man garrison in China is interesting. In response to the attacks made from various sources, he said that the strength of the German East Asiatic brigade in the year 1901 had been 10000 men. In accordance with the desire of the Reichstag the Federated Govern ments had reduced this force to 4,SO0, and latterly to 2,6OO men. The with drawal of ths reserve force of 500 men stationed at Tsing-tau had been con- templated, he said, in view of the more settled condition of the situation in East Asia. but the outbreak of the war between Russia and Japan had inter- sered with these intentions.

Among the most powerful men in Russia. in foreign as well as in domes- tic affairs, is M. De Plehwe, minister of the interior. When promoted to his present office he was head of the police department. To him perhaps more than to any other member of the imperial council is credited the steadiness with which Nicholas II has pursued the greater Russia policy which has forced the present war after having raised the eagles of the Czar over Finland. Right ly or wrongly, De Plehwe has been charged with having been the agent who instigated the feaful massacre at Kishinef. He was prompt to deny, however, that either his imperial mas ter or himself gave the nod of perlnis- sion for the slaughter.

The race issue is one of the dividing lines between Oklahoma and Indian Territory. R. l.. Owen, of Muskogee, says that ''the people come from differ ent parts of the Union; they have dif- ferent ideals. Oklahoma is largely set tied up from Kansas, where the colored people are allowed to attend the schools with the whites. A rule of such a na- ture imposed upon the people of Indian Territory would be considered griev- ance by persons who have been raised in the South, and they might resent it when it would be too late. Our people had better consider this matter before they go too far and find themselves un- der the Kansas rule, which would be possible in the event of the growth of this Kansas idea in Oklahoma.

Candidate Davis Age.

Some objection is being made
to Mr.. Davis, the democratic can
didate for vice president, on ac-
count of his age. This objection
is not valid. Mr.. Davis, as all
know who enjoy his personal ac-
Iuuaintance, is exceptionally well
preserved for one of his age. No
one would guess him more than
seventy and doubtless he feels
younger than that. TO offset
any argument that may be made
against his age it must be re-
membered that his nomination
encourages aspirants for high Of
flee to join the democratic party.
In 1896 the party nominated a
presidential candidate who was
only thirty.six. AS its vice
presidential candidate is eighty
it is evident from the record that
there are forty four years in
every democrats life, during
which he is eligible to place on
the national ticket, What party
can offer more in the way of op :
portunity ?-COmmOner.
