Defects of Criminal Law.

There are two reasons why criminal
day. One is the repression by that re-
form of lynch law. The other is not
less important We need that reform
says an Atlantic writer, because the
social condition of our day impera-
lively demands substantial increase
in the scope and power of criminal
law. a system strong enough to meet
the new and increasing requirements
of our civilization for corrective and
repressive criminal law. A system too
complicated to deal out certain Justice
to common offenders, ignorant and
brutal, poor in purse and influence.
can never adequately deal with our
new class of big business criminals.
with the men who get rich by fraud,
the corporation infiaters and wreckers.
the faithless trustees and grating di-
rectors. the exploiters OF municipali-
ties. the magnates who give bribes
and the bosses who take them. the
trust operators who sin against hon
esty in business. who break the law
against monopolies, who give and take
forbidden rebates. How can predatory
wealth, powerful, influential, often in
trenched in office, be punished by sys-
TEN which creaks. groans, and often
breaks down, in bringing a border ruff
fan TO Justice?

Judicial Repression.

Just why, in country in which the
vast majority of judges are elected by
popular vote, there should be ex-
pressed in law such superstitious ter
ror lest n judge should give any eX-
preston of his own personality Is puz-
zling in the extreme. In many states,
writes George w. Alger, In Atlantic.
and particularly In tr-ose in which a
Arm and vigorous administration OF
Justice is of urgent Importance, the
Judge who presides at criminal trial
is not permitted by law to be a judge
n any real or vital sense. He must
not comment on the evidence. he must
not review the facts and set them In
coherent order before the jury, he
must not sift the testimony and sepa-
rate the material from the immaterial,
he must. above all things. refrain from
expressing in any wise personal
opinion on anything from the start
Of the trial to Its close. He must deal
out abstract rules of law. and leave the
jury to their own devices with such
blind guidance in endeavoring to apply
that law to the facts. II he sees them
swayed by misleading eloquence. he
must not set them in the path of rea-
son for Justices sake. He is pilot
who must not touch the wheel. The
vigorous, commanding fgure OF the
English judge is by law excluded from
the great majority of our criminal
courts. The summary of facts in the
charge which. for example. Justice
Bingham gave few years ago to an
English jury in the sensational case OF
Whitaker Wright. the great swind-
ling promoter, would have meant an
inevitable reversal and new trial for
error" in any lynch law state in this
country.

PLAGUE OF CATS.
The Paris Police Adopt stringen,
Measures.

Cats in London are often nuisance
to the householder when they fight
upon the roof in the middle of the
night. but in Paris, especially near the
Halles Centrales, they are said to have
become public danger 1t appears
that these animals swarm in thousands
all over the markets. and. as most OF
them are NANCY and otherwise dis.
eased. it is feared that they will con
taminate the goods set out for sale,
so the police have issued an edict that
all the stray cats are to be captured
and put into a lethal chamber. and as
"A consequence the kind-hearted market
women have adopted many of the cats
and now claim them as their own prop
erty. Bus NJ Guichard the police in
spector in charge of the markets, will
hear of no mercy. and the offending
animals are to be slaughtered without
delay. The police are to surround the
market and to carry sacks in which 10
put the captured cats. What is to be
done If the cats escape on to the roofs

RELIEF FOR coLoRADANs.
Denver Arranses to Send Fourth Train

THE KICKING COW.
II the Animal Kicks There Is G.n-
orally Some Good Reason for II
Find Out What 1t Is.

The best cure for kicking COW Is
to try to find sit why she kicks, and
to avoid the cause. Cows don't lex
for fun or for mastery" They kick
because they are hurt or startled.
OF course you can break" them by
causing them more serious pain and
terror with the whip than by milking.
but 1t is not right. and your wrong
method of milking may be injuling
your COW. The kick comes almost rn-
consciously, if the udder of the COW is
hurt. and the better the COW the more
sensitive the udder.
My best COW was "confir'ned

Country Gentleman. and gave little
milk in the winter. until l milked
her myself and found that cold hands
against her udder made her shutder

Probably whip would have caused
her to stop kicking. but it would not
bring the milk. nor have been any
thing less than cruel.
Again. last summer the man said

only when one teat was touched. The
other three were all right. The third
day I could feel little grain In the

boil from a bruise. Until that boil
broke. milking was a function l
could have omitted. But l can truth
fully say never struck her, and the
day 1t broke she was as quiet as ever,
with no memory of blows or harsh
treatment to alarm her or the herd.

Don't Dock the Lambs.

l wish to say a few words in re-
gard to the practice of docking
lambs, write an Illinois correspond
ent of the Farmers Review. Most
men that raise sheep dock their
lambs when they are a week or two
old. | think this is all wrong. First,
it stunts the lamb; second, it in
jrres the spine; third. in docking one
loses per cent. of the lambs; fourth,
it is cruelty to animals; fifth, it is
according to nature that animals
should have tails. There is but one
things that can be said in favor of the
practice. and that is that it makes
them look better. | have argued this
question with sheep men a great many
times, and l always make five points
to their one. They put up several ar
guments. but | can prove what [
preach by my flock.

EXPRESSING CATTLE.
Greatest Comfort for the
Animals.

Express is always preferable to
freight where the expense Is not too
great. Express companies require ami
mails TO be Grated, and generally l use
short light slat crate for little
calves, with head protruding from the
crate; that is. the body alone is cased.
with older and larger animals l use
large. strong and heavier crate, full
length of the animal, with the animals
neck placed in sort of stanchion
made of two hardwood sticks that run
from floor to top. and are secured at
each end. Feed can then be placed be-
fore the animal. and water will be
given by the express companys people.

oP Or CAR
PLAN FOR SHIPPING CATTLE.

In shipping by freight, it is generally
necessary for some man to accom-
pany the stock as an attendant, and
then feed. bedding, etc, is supplied for
the trip. and the attendant is expected
to care for, feed and water the stock.
lie animals can be placed in stalls
that are made in the car. or in stan
chions which run the length of the
car. These are made by taking two
four or five-inch pieces at top and two
more at bottom, and at regular inter
walls place an upright which is securely
fastened to these pieces, and also to
the floor and roof of the car; then in
between these pieces or uprights.
place piece that reaches from floor
Just TO the top of the frame. being
pinned at the base so that it will move
enough at the top to allow the ami
n.ls head to enter the space, then
close the space and put in another pin
at the top to hold it there firmly The
diagram shows this stanchion. The
animals. of course. stand sideways in
the car and unless exceptionally large
VIII have ample room in the ordinary
eight foot-wide car and leave space
in front of the stanchion for feeding.
Hay in small bales can be carried over
the animals by building sort of
floor over them. Water can be carried
in barrels near the doorways to be
used in case of necessity or haste.
Where only one of two animals are to
be shipped by freight. suggests the Ru-
raj New Yorker, they can be tied in
the end of the ear. or cheap stall
made. Almost all railways require
the presence of an attendant. and gen
orally give free fare. at least one way,
and sometimes both ways.
