SAME OLD RULES WILL HOLD GOOD
Recent Decision Of United States Judge
Not to Affect Grazing
Rules.

The recent decision of the United
States district court at Yakima, to the
effect that the secretary of the inter-
ior had no authority to make allot-
ments of forest reserves, but that such
reserves were open to everybody Tor
grazing purposes, will not affect the at
titude of the reserve officials. accord
ing to statement made today by Chief
Ranger ]. M. Schmitz, Of the Wenaha
reserve.
Mr.. Schmitz said that various opin-
ions had been given by district judges,
some holding that the secretary has
right to formulate rules and enforce
them. and others contending that the
promulgation Of such rules constituted
a usurpation of legislative powers, ana
were therefore invalid. Mr.. Schmltz
is anxious that the ruling OF the
Tinted States supreme court be OBJ
tanned upon the subject. In the mean
time. however, any person who at
tempts to Craze cattle or sheep without
having obtained an allotment from the
proper officials, will be arrested.

Queer Way to Collect Salary.

In lieu of a weeks wages which
he CLAIMED he could not collect, an
employe of the Norris Brothers circus
named Ryner, stole one of the perform

the performance last night and de-
camped The management of the cir

theft just before the show pulled out
of town.
Rvner it is said, had a weeks wages
coming to him and made a demand for
it while the performance was going
on, which was refused He hung
around the grounds until loading up
time and, watching his opportunity,
succeeded in getting one of the per-
forming ponies out of the horse tent
without Attracting the attention of any
of the hostlers.
Ryner was seen riding away in the
dark, but nothing was thought of the
incident until it was discovered that
a valuable performing pony had dis

concluded that there was a strange CO.
incidence in the simultaneous disap-
pearance of Ryner and the pony, and
notified the officers.
As descriptions of Ryner and the
horse have been sent broadcast, the
officers believe he will be overhauled
in a day or so and the animal recOv-

fares paid were only those necessary in
going TO and from work. Not one OF
these families took a newspaper or mag

were forced to pay anywhere from 100 to
24l per cent interest. The bare necessl.

THE INJUNCTION DECISION.

In the decision OF Judge Irwin in the
strike injunction case. printed on an
other page, the court lays doa princi'
pie OF law that is worth all the strike and
Injunction suit have cost when he says:
"Unquestionably it is the right and
privilege OF any man or body Of men 10
refuse TO work for another, II there is no
contract obligation to the contrary. 1t
is also the right 0. workingmen to form
unions, and no doubt much good is FREE.
quently accomplished thereby; but
unions have no right, nor have the indi-
vidual members thereof any right to in.
terfere in any way with others in the
lawful and peaceabe pu suit OF their
business. The joining OF union gives a
man no special legal right or privileges
not enjoyed by other persons, nor does
it deprive him OF any legal rights or
privileges The legal rights OF non.un:on
men and union men are exactly the
same-bo,h must obey the law-and
when either OF them illegally interferes
with the other, they will be restrained
and enjoined whether they be members
OF the union or not"
That it required a court decision to
emphasize this elemental doctrine OF
law, upon which our form OF government
rests, demonstrates the necessity for the
strong arm OF the law TO seize and punish
ALL who violate it. Belonging to, or
failing to belong to any organization,
religious, political or Of any nature not
illegal cannot be construed as adding to
or subtracting from the rights guaranteed
to every citizen OF the land.
The more rapidly this principle is alb
sorbed by the radical element Of labor
unions, the sooner will labor unionism
attract the sympathy and support OF the
general public, without which no move
ment can succeed.

THE UBIQUITOUS TONTINE

In the August McClure's Burton J.

say the iniquities, OF the Tontine form Of
policy that was originated and cham.
pioned by Henry B. Hyde in his reck-
less effort to make the Equitable the
largest liie-insurance company in the
world. Tontine Originated by Lorenzo
Tont in the seventeenth century as Mr..
Hendrick shows in the fourth install i'm ent

human lives, so arranged that the rich

dren. As the scheme worked, the
Equitable, during its Tontne days, help.
ed to deprive about $50 families in every
1000 that insured in Tontine. OF their
insurance protection. The true inv ard.
ness Of the game becomes evident when
it is shown that Tontine helped to build
up an enormous surplus, from which
Mr.. Hyde distracted. under a so-caled
contract, az per cent annually. The
devious methods that Hyde adopted to
force his Tontine upon the public affords
Mr.. Hendrick the material for a most
absorbing and dramatic article.
