THE CASH BOY TALKS.
His Fathers Idea Of the Delights Of
Municipal Ownership.


Say, boss" remarked our cash boy
this morning. my paw is red hot for
minniesickle ownership don't know
what that is, but paw says everybody
is going to own everything and divide
up the profits. He was telling ma
about it last night.
Ma asked him where the people
would get the money to buy those
things. as they would cost millions of
dollars.
Paw said, Issue bonds
Yes said ma, but how will you
pay the bonds when they are due?
Tissue more bonds, said paw.
But how about the interest?' said
ma. Won't you have to tax the people
for that?'
why. no" said paw. Pay the in
terest with bonds
81 don't see how you could do that,
said ma
"'You don't. eh?' replied paw. Now,
when we went to housekeeping, didn't
pay for all our furniture by giving a
note, and when it came due didn't
give the man another note? You won,
en- know nothing about finance. You
wait until the minniesickle ownership
gets in power, we will divide the profits
among the people. and no one will have
TO work. We will all be Vanderbilts.
Won't you be proud of your hubby
when he becomes part owner of all
public utilities? You see madam, there
are some things you don't know
"And then paw looked wise. Ma
stood and gazed at him for some time
and then said:
eyes, there are some things l don't
know, and one of those things is this:
If there is a man more fit for the
ltnatic asylum than you, l don't know
him
Then commenced to whistle 'Ev-
cry Jody Works but Daddy Say,
boss, you see that lump on the back
of my head? Paw has had that tune
poked at him before, and wasn't look
ing when his old shoe came flying my
way."-Yonkers Statesman.

The New Judicial System.

The new supreme court consists OF
one chief Judge and three associate
judges, instead of bench of seven as
the old supreme court was constituted.
The house reduced the number of as
sociate judges to two but the senate re-
stored the original number, three, and
the house concurred in the amendment.
The general terms of the supreme
court are to be held at Montpelier the
second Tuesday in January, the first
Tuesday in May, and the first Tuesday
in October. Special terms are to be
held in St. Johnsbury the second Tues
day in February, at Rutland the second
Tuesday in November, and at Brattle-
boro the third Tuesday in November.
Such terms may be held at such other
times and places as the judges may ap-
point. The clerk of a county in which
a term of court is held will act as clerk.
All causes on the docket of the court
in the several counties are to be heard
at the general term except that causes
pending in Addison, Bennington, and
Rutand counties may be heard, if de-
sired by either party, at the special Rut-
land term corresponding in the counties
of Windham and Windsor may be heard
at the special term at Brattleboro; and
causes pending in the counties OF Cal
edonia, Essex, and Orleans may be heard
ut the special st. Johnsbury term.
If supreme court is disqualified to
act at any time Judge of the superior
court may be designated by the chief
Judge of the supreme court to sit in the
place of the judge disqualified.
The method of election and terms OF
office are the same as in the case OF the
old supreme court judges. No Judge
may be an officer in railroad, bank
ing, or insurance corporation.
Each superior judge shall be a chan
cellor. The superior Judge first elected
is to be the chief Judge. This makes
Judge Haselton the first man to hold
the office.
The superior judges are to preside at
the county courts but in case there is a
temporary vacancy through disqualltica'
ton supreme court judge may be as
.igned to preside.
The salaries of the new judges in
9th the supreme and superior courts
i, to be $4,000 and necessary expenses
including Office supplies, postage, sta
lionery, etc. The judges may not re-
ceive fees.

There is no discrimination. The seq

school is police regulation due to the
fact that they are not children in the

not fit, says the San Francisco Call,
that they should be permitted to asso-

M. o. In Chicago as Dead as Caesar.

One of the most remarkable reverSals
Of public opinion on record is that
which has taken place in Chicago In
the past year In the matter Of mu-
nicipal ownership and operation. The
municipal ownership theory, which
little more than year ago flourished
here with so much vigor as to attract
the attention of the entire civilized
world, Is now the deadest duck in the
pond. Apparently nobody believes in
1t any longer. Certainly nobody ever
talks any more about it.-Chicago Jour

As TO MUNICIPAL OFFICERS.

There is nothing ambiguous or
misleading about section 3ii6 OF the
Mississippi Code of 1905, says the
Natche1 Democrat. 1t means that
no municipal officer can be interest
ed either directly or indirectly in
any contract let by the Board Of
which he is a member, nor can be
be personally interested in such con
tract in a most remote way,
The sole interest which he is per
mitted to have in the matter is to
the extent of seeing that the munich
pality gets the best value for its
money or warrant, whichever mode
OF payment may be prescribed in the
contract.
The inhibition extends to the pro-
hibition Of the sale to and purchase
by a city Of any goods, wares, mer-
chandise or supplies, the same beng
regarded as a contract with the
municipality.
II there ever had been any real
doubt as to the applicability of a
law Of this nature to a city operating
under its own Charter, the question
today is placed beyond the pale Of
discussion by the explicit language
used in Section 34i6.
The penalty for a violation Of this
section is a fine equal to double the
amount Of the contract, or imprison-
ment in the county Jail not less than
one month nor more than one year
and expulsion from office, nor can
the officer who las been removed
under this law stand for reelection.

POLLARD & HAMMER, Att'ys.
R[VfRSfS ITSELF.

The Jackson News of the Goth
inst, says that "at its sitting this
afternoon the supreme court revers-
ed its former decision, rendered at
the last term, in the celebrated six
tenth section land case, sustained
the suggestions of error, and thereby
establishes a ruling that will cost
lumber manufacturers and others in
this state at least five million dol
lars.
Briefly summarized, the court
holds that lessees Of sixteenth sec
ton lands are liable for timber re-
moved from these lands, regardless
Eof the period Of the lease, and les
Isors must be paid the value Of tim
Der removed during the period Of
tenure.
This strikes a pa~ralyzing blow at
the lumber industry in south Mis-.
ssissippi, and virtually means bank
ruptcy for many manufacturers who
have been removing timber at will
for many years, believing that 90
year leases convey the right to re
move timber at will.
"The opinion of the court was
read by Associate Justice Mayes,
with Chief Justice Whitfield con-
curing in an opinion about twelve
pages in length. Associate Justice
Calhoon read a dissenting opinion"
