EXPERT TESTIMONY,

Those who have often heard what is
called expert testimony in court and
wondered will be interested in the fact
that there is in the Massachusetts
legislature a bill to restrict the calling
of expert witnesses. This bill forbids
the payment of more than the ordinary
witness fees except by special order of
the court, limits the number who may
be called on each side and practically
confines expert evidence as such to
matters of opinion-not recognized
facts or plain deductions from them,
In commenting on this bill the Hart
ford Times makes a fair statement of
the situation as follows: The recent
practice is enormously costly, consumes
much time, and seldom determines the
case. Ethically the great objection is
that the experts are employed by the
one side or the other and are expected
to make that side of the case as
strong as possible. Very few men re-
sist the temptation to state the case in
the way favorable to the side which
pays them and which is understood to
pay them on that understanding. 1t is
not that they will deny the truth or

favorably considered. Figures are
given to show that refinery costing
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
can, at the prices Mr.. Rockefeller con-
sents to. pay for crude oil and extracts
for the refined products, on daily out
put of a thousand barrels, earn eight
hundred thousand dollars a year. With
such a margin of profit the claim seems
we'll grounded that the State, by engag-
ing in this business can furnish bet
ter market for their crude oil to the
owners of Kansas wells, lower prices to
every consumer within its boundaries
and yet obtain a satisfactory return on
the amount of money invested. ~ III
A contemplated revolt Of this sort
against the poweriof the Standard Oil
company should ofteoufse be promptly
suppressed by that merciless monopoly,
unless it would invite other attacks of
similar nature Mr. Rockefeller may
be depended upon to see the exact ma
ture of the situation and adopt such
measures as he may think best cal
culated to bring him prompt and COM
plete success. The people of Kansas
however, appear to be thoroughly
aroused, and the battle promises to be
a brisk one, which may bring about
some interesting developments before
it is over. Naturally, the first argu-
ment advanced in opposition to this
movement is that the State has no
more reason for going into business of
refining oil than 1t has for engaging
in the packing of meat or the grinding
Of flour: but there seems to be no, oc-
casion at present for the latter, while
Mr.. Rockefeller's monopoly is a little
too oppressive to be endured with
patience. Many cities have their own
water works and their own gas plants,
and the extension of the principle of
municipal ownership to the State is
only question Of public policy. The
monopoly of the oil business enjoyed by
Mr.. Rockefeller depends upon his con-
troll over transportation, which by right
should be open on equal terms to every
one. While this condition of things
exists the fight against his oppressive
methods must be carried into other
fields, and it is this which the people of
Kansas are proposing to do. States
have been and still are often asked to
give pecuniary assistance of one sort or
another to private enterprises which it
is asserted will be of advantage to the
people In the end. 1t is going only {
short step farther to undertake out
right business which promises to re

An ey'ry rut is full O. folks, as high as

Each one that's grovelin' in tn ditch

An whishin' he had got his chance be-

They lay it all on someone else or say
twas just their luck
They never onct consider that twas

But here's tn word of one that's lived
clean through, from soup t. ats;
TIL Lord don't send no derrickS round

Then scrambled bravely to tn road an

But only them that helps themselves

4 THeonr Axp 1 CONDITION.

We are not hearing quite as much as
We did in this neighborhOod about the
municipal ownership of public utilities,
but of course the theory is still alive.
Some light is shed on it's working in
Great Britain by Robert P. Porter. We
have often been told that in British
cities where the municipal ownership
plan has been adopted gas is furnished
at fifty cents a thousand feet. But
Mr.. Porter finds that in the three cities
most frequently Glasgow,
Nottingham and Birmingham-it is
only the large manufacturing concerns
that actually enjoy rate even approx
imating that figure; the ordinary con-
sumner pays eighty cents a thousand,
which is not very different from the
average American rate. More than
that, Mr.. Porter also reports that in
most British cities where private COM
panies furnish the lighting the people
enjoy considerably lower rate than
obtains in cities where the municipality
operates the lighting plant. Thus the
lowest rate reported in any cities of the
latter class is f1fty-four cents in Leeds,
Belfast and Bradford, while in the for
mer class the lowest rates obtaining are
forty-four cents in Sheffield, forty-six
in Sunderland and forty-eight in Hull
and Newcastle.
So as regards economy for consumers
municipal lighting does not seem to be
justifying itself in Great Britain.

TILE ARMY 1R 4 NSE,lRTS.

The, recent attack on the transport
service Of the army has brought out
some interesting facts in, connection
with this much abused branch of the
military establishment. The War de-
partment is struggling vigorously to
retain possession of the high priced
steamers and other craft that were
purchased from grasping owners at the
commencement Of the Spanish war and
fitted un to carry troops. Within the
past few years the war department has
disposed of some of these vessels. The
prices which they brought under the
hammer reveal the extent to which the
government was gouged by the original
owners of the hulks during the stress
which cost the government 100000, was
sold to the Schwartz Foundry company
of New Orleans for $4,000; the trans
port, Egbert cost 100000 and brought
$4,000 at public auction; the McPher-
son, which was one OF the greatest
scandal ships in the transport service,
cost the government 100000 and was
sold to L. Z. Hunt, of New York, for
the paltry sum of $11,15O. The govern
nfent paid $147,2OO for the transport
Rosecrans and eventually sold it for
$4,000,
The total cost of these vessels was
$749, 200 and they were sold at net loss
to the United States Of $5S6,050. In
view of this, there is little wonder the
sale of the vessels was discontinued.

OPPOSITION FOR STANDARD OIL

Company has, in the course Of it's ex-

leave anything for an institute Of ar

great piles which we use in our cities
for the purposes of our commerce are
temporary in character. Our stone
walls, so called, are mere veneers of
stone, often pinned on the brickworl

Of our great industries, 1 think you
will find they are perishable in the

comparatively short time. Where then

hence? The only things I can think

On Sable Island, off the coast of Nova
Scotia, cats were introduced about 1880
and rapidly exterminated the rabbits,
which had been in possession for at
least half century. In one of the har-
bers Of Kerguellen Land, barren and
desolate bit of antarctic terra firma to
athe southeast of the Cape of Good
Hope, cats escaped from ships have
made themselves at home on little
islet known at Cat Island, which has
long been used as wintering place for
sealers. Here they live in holes in the
ground. preying upon sea birds and
their young, and are said to have de-
veloped such extraordinary ferocity
that it is almost impossible to tame
them even when captured young.

Richard Strut, son of Lord Ray
leigh. has invented clock that will
run two thousand years. The motive
power is a small piece of gold leaf,
which is electrified by means of very
small quantity Of radium salt. The
gold leaf bends away from the metal
substance and keeps moving under this
influence until it touches the side of
the containing vessel. At the moment
of contact it loses its electrical charge
and then springs back and is again
electrified, and the process is repeated
IT. is thought that thoroughly reliable
clock could be made with the use of
radium salt for $1,000.
