Tomorrow night will mark the first
New England appearance OF Amby NC
Garry. the New York lightweight, who,
since his graduation from the amateur
ranks. has been winning fights with won
derful regularity. For a long time the
sports OF these parts have hoped to see
McGarry In action, but IL seemed almost
impossible 10 get any one to meet him
until Dave Deshler decided 10 do 50. This
was because McGarry Knocked out kld
Sullivan In Baltimore a short time ago.
and about a year ago Deshler gave Sui
livan n bad beating.
McGarry is the choice OF many on ac-
count of his wonderful showing In the
ring i'm the past year. He has met the
top-notchers and whipped them. His
style is somewhat different from that or
Deshler, for he IL more of the rough
house fighter. and has one or two qualh-
cations that are lacking In Deshler. He is
easily the harder =ptinehef,- butts not one
iota cleverer than the Cambridge boy.

ranged for a number OF three-round

The proposition, of Secretary Viii
son that lumpy-jaw cattle and ami
NAL afflicted with tuberculosis will
not be excluded from sale until the
experts have decided whether or not
these diseases can be transmitted to
the human family through the eating
of such meat strikes the average man
as rather concession to conditions
that never should have been allowed
Is be established 1t is preposterous
to suppose that unhealthy meat can
be partaken of by human beings with
out risk of contamination, and the de-
cision of experts will not settle the
popular prejudice against meats of
this character. If the government
is going to prescribe against unclean
linen of the employees it certainly
ought to insist that the meat which
is prepared and offered to the public
by these same packing houses should
be free from the faint of disease.

The situation in Russia is now at
tracing more attention among stu
dents of history than at any other
time since the Russian-Japanese war
began. 1t is becoming more apparent
that the revolutionary spirit holds the
entire country and that the power of
the car is fast becoming only nomin-
al Anatole Leroy-Beaulieu, director
of the Institute of France, and known
as the worlds foremost authority on
Russia, has given out an interview
which is remarkable The opinions
set forth, coming from one so well
versed on the subject, will attract
attention all over the civilized worli
and we'll may they. This eminent
French scholar believes that the car
is doomed. By that he means that
the autocracy will never rule again.
While the car may retain his throne,
his power is now as good as gone.

In recent inquiry into the causes
|of desertion from farm life one young
man says he declared against the
farm because ne thought its labors
and anxieties would not pay as well
as the same energy bestowed upon
some profession or mercantile calling
But he added significant sentence,
one which ought to be more forceful
in shaping the choice of young men
for occupation for life. He de- Jared
that he was fond of farm life, he loved
to be near the soil, he enjoyed the
communion with nature, he had per-
feet satisfaction in those relations
which the farm compelled with vege
table and animal life In other word
there was in his make up al element
of poetry that made the singing of
birds and the growing OF plants. the
smell Of the woods and the soft wind
from the hills continual delight in
life, and perfect enjoyment But he
preferred commercial success to eli
this rich enjoyment of life. He was
willing to sacrifice the enjoymcnts Of
nature, the singing of the birds and
the music of the streams that he
might hear little more of the jingle
of the gold in the currents of rapid
business life.-Elkhart Review.

The American boys right to be
taught trade in school instead OF
under the restrictions of a labor un-
| ion, the members of which are zeal.
Gus of his advancement, was asserted
| by President F. S. Luther of Trim
lily College, Hartford, in convention
Iof the American Institute of Instruc-
/ ton. President Luther said:
To-day there are few apprentices,
and such as may be still found are
learning very little. The labor un-
ions restrict the number of appren-
tees to limits grotesquely below OBJ
vious needs. The boys suffer from
the jealousy, ill-will and incompetence
of those who are supposed to teach
them, and from the greed of employ
ers who try to get a mans work out
of thenl for boys wages.
The outlook for an American boy
of sixteen years who does not fancy
a clerical career is not encouraging
said Mr.. Luther. He must begin as
a doer of odd jobs, with nothing to
feed his ambitions and presently be-
comes anxious for soft snap.
One sort of boy in such cases will
force his way forward honorably, ex-
plating the sins of his fathers by
hard work, picking up by native abil
ity in many years what should have
been taught in a few. A second sort
discontentedly do all their lives, the
meaner, lower tasks hope dead, am
billions forgotten, aspirations I'M
known; the saloon a haven of rest
and the yellow journal the literary
diversion. A third sort make graft
crs. And we might save most of
these two classes of failures; many
of them, at least, by simply educating
them to some chosen industry

eddy Wednesday morning at his home
on Terre Coupe prairie, near New
Carlisle The deceased was 81 years
old and had enjoyed good health most
of the time. He was the heaviest
land owner in St Joseph county and
one of the largest in Northern Indi-
ana. He owned thousands of acres
in Laporte county, being rated as a
millionaire. His wife died some
years ago. Surviving him are two
daughters and daughter-in-law, the
widow of John Reynolds One daugh-
ter is the wife of DR.. VanRiper of
New Carlisle.
The Reynolds families came o
Northern Indiana in its early history
and they have been among its most
stable and most highly respected res
idents since.

Cur Criminal Code.

| III HIS SASciiSil duuicSS DtIOIt tie
State Bar Association, Colonel Jew
EFT, president of the association, crit
icised our criminal code with much
severity. We do not think he went
beyond the truth, though soEle of the
reforms he suggested seem to us of
doubtful expediency. In seeking to
amend our criminal practice, we
should remember that speedy ar
rests and certain conviction is not
the thing TO be aimed at What we
ought to strive for is speedy trial,
in which the object shall be to admin
ister, as far as possible, equal and
exact justice.
We think, however, that Colonel
Jewett is right in saying that juries
ought not to be judges of the law.
That is indeed an absurdity. The
fury should take the law from the
court and apply it to the facts. He
| is right, too, in what he says of our
method of selecting juries. The tests
which we now impose to determine
| the qualifications of juryman are
absurd In England the old safe
guards are maintained as strongly
as with us, and yet in that country
there is never any difficulty in getting
a jury. The presumption is that the
men are fit, and not, as with us, that
they are unfit. The suggestion that
the peremptory challenge be abolish
ed, and that juryman should be
removed from the box only for cause,
lis wise. Under our system we pro-
coed on the theory that the man who
knows anything about the case is dis
qualified And as practically every
one at the present time reads the
newspapers it is not an easy matter
10 get jury that is guiltless of
knowledge. When we do get it we
often find that it has not sufficient
intelligence to try the case. We in
fer prejudice, too, from the slightest
of premises. 1t never seems to occur
to us that men charged with the sol
emn duty of dealing with the liberty
and life of the citizen are likely to be
animated by a spirit of fairness. Here
it seems to us, is great chance for
the law reformer
The speaker thought that if all mo-
|tions going to the suf1iciency of the
Indictment were required to be put
in writing and ito point out the par
ticular infirmity" much would be
gained He also urged that we should
do away with compulsory written
which are only asked by
the defense in order to get basis for
an appeal. These amendments would
probably accomplish some good No
decision should be reversed for error
Of law unless the error has affected
the rights of the accused. Possibly
it might be found wise to place some.
limitation on the right Of appeal. But
The main thing sought is the prompt
and speedy administration of justice.
There really is no reason why our
courts should not operate as swiftly
Jas they do in England Colonel Jew
Iett saw four men charged with man
slaughter tried in one day in an
English court and civil suit involv-
ing $4,000 disposed of in less than
"a hour. In this country it would
probably have taken two weeks to
try one of the criminals. Surely
there is great need for reform.-In-

PEST IN ORCHARD.
Apple Trees in Forty Counties AT
fiicted With San Jose Scale.

Orchard owners in Northern Indi-
Entomologist Troop limbs of apple
trees believed to be infected with the
San Jose scale, and their worst fears
have been confirmed. Mr.. Troop says
| it is the genuine scale from which
many orchards of the state are begin
mig to suffer badly. Some of the
parties who sent in the infected limbs
stated that the usual whale oil soap
failed to bring proper results. and
Mr.. Troop reminds them that re-
peated applications are necessary. In
Response to the appeal for help from
over the state, Mr.. Troop writes:
The specimen sent is the San Jose
scale. Treatment is recommended
for both summer andl winter The
winter wash is most effective, but
that can be used only when the trees
are dormant Ibave never found any
difficulty in killing the young scale
with whale oil soap, one pound to one
gallon of water, but it will require
several applications during the sum-
mer, as Matching continues all the
time, and the soap does not affect
them till they hatch. | am constant
ly finding the scale in new localities,
so that at the present time it has
been found in forty-two counties.
The people are becoming generally
alarmed over the fact that it is spread
ing SO rapidly, and that SO little can
be done at present toward stamping
it out The annual appropriation for
the use of the state entomologist is
81 900. With this he is required by
law to inspect all of the nurseries in
Indiana numbering 100, which are
scattered all over the state. If there
is anything left, it is used in orchard
inspection, but usually there is very
little left for this work. Illinois ap-
propriates $4,000, and Ohio $4,000 for
the work. This enables the state
.entomologist of these states to put
experienced men in the field with the
necessary spraying outfits, and to
keep them there until they have sue
ceeded in accomplishing the desired
result. This is what Indiana should
o. The next legislature should make
ample provision for this work, and
should assist the owners OF infested
orchards in riding them of this pest
which ifIeft to itself, will soon ruin
the orchard industry"

That American farmers this year
will harvest the largest grain crops
in the history of the country are given
in the government reports on con-
dition and nothing now seems in the
way of unprecedented prosperity
throughout the farming regions.
Not only is the prospect for boun-
tiful harvest most bright but market
quotations show that the farmer will
get fair price for his grains, while
reports from Europe are that the
wheat crop will be 15O, 600, 900 bushels
short of that of 1905, indicating that
the export demand will be large and
that America will have to fill good
share of it.
