A Muck Truck Farm.

We clipped an item from one of our
state exchanges, the name Of which
has been accidentally lost We should
be glad to hear about that rhubarb
patch year from this time. Nothing
is said as to when it was planted out,
but probably last fall or this winter.
If so, his time of trouble has not yet
come. Rhubarb will grow all right
through fall, winter and spring
months, but when hot summer wealth
er comes it will die. We have never
heard Of an exception
Mr.. D. S. Earhart is Of an inquir-
ing turn of mind, and experiments
along new lines Some of his sue
cesses are quite gratifying to him and
of interest to the community. He had
a muck pond covered with water
That pond is now drained and has
growing upon it as fine a crop of veg
etables as one desires to see
Some authorities have said that rhu-
barb (pie-plant) will not grow here,
but Mr.. Earhart now has about one
hundred nice plants with thick fine
stalks that make the mouth of a pie
lover water.
He protects his tender vegetables
with grass mats woven on a loom he
invented for that purpose.

not the law that empowers county
commissioners to grant license to sa-

decided against the applicant for Ii

Condensing the decision of the

that large number Of court decis-
ions, including those of other States
besides this, and the Supreme Court
of the United States, it is held that in
selling liquor, as beverage, no one
has an inherent right, as in selling
dry goods, etc., but that the right is
conferred by state law, under license
regulations, and that as all state and
federal courts hold that the business
Of liquor selling as a beverage is a
harm to society, therefore no state
has authority, under their constitu-
tons, to grant authority to pursue a
harmful business. If the higher
courts finally sustain this decision it
will be tremendous long step to-
ward the suppression of the traffic,
and, indeed, will be absolute prohibi-
ton of it without further legislation,
except some penal statute to fix pun
ishment for following the business,
like other statutes against common
law and statutory crime.

Important Liquor Case.

Many of you live in dry countie S,
but some are so unfortunate as to be
located in counties in which license
is allowed For the benefit of such
we give, this week, the results Of a
new method of attack on the liquor
traffic In Indiana some one, living
in a county which granted license,
brought suit to have the license an
nulled upon the ground that it was
unconstitutional to license the traffic.
The Judge, before whom the case
was tried, decided in favor of the re-
monstrantS.
The decision as reported, by the In
diana Farmer, is as follows:
On the 18th Judge Artman of Lee

Scrub Horses.

The little horse is under cloud
Few buyers want him, and at periods
when they are scrambling to buy big
ones, the scrub is drug. Formerly
the South bought these light chunks
in large numbers furnishing a badly
needed outlet, but this year there has
been marked subsistence of demand
from below the Mason and Dixon
line. The South is prosperous and as
logical result wants better horse
flesh.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago. March IA dispatch to
the Tribune from New York says that
beyond the slightest doubt inner Wall
street believes a check to general busi-
ness has resulted from the railroad
situation. and that this check will
grow more apparent. The activity of
state legislatures has aroused thor
'oughly the large railroad interests of
the country. The cost Of borrowing
money has been increased and there
will be a marked reduction in the ex-
penditures.
In an interview given by E. H. Har-
riman yesterday on certain features of
the railroad situation, he said that two
kinds of courage are needed in de-
veloping and directing the affairs Of
great railroad system. One is to make
large expenditures when the times are
dull and the business outlook poor,
and thus secure labor, money and ma
terials at low cost.
The other kind OF courage, he said,
is to be able to discontinue expenditure
of funds and the making OF improve
ments when business is good, money
dear, and labor high.

WANT CHEAP RATES
Georgia Farmers Begin Move
ment With View of secur-

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Atlanta, Ca, March IA move
ment for 2-cent fares has been in
augurated by the Farmers union of
Georgia and will be considered by the
Georgia railroad commission at its
meeting today. A formal petition.
signed by National President c. s.
Barrett, State President R. l.. Duck
worth and other officials of the Farm
ers' union, has been presented to the
commission and is as follows:
Believing that the present passeng-
er rate of cents mile in this state
is too high, and that there ought to be
a reduction thereof, we petition you
to consider this matter, reduce the
present passenger rate, and make such
a rate as will be reasonable and just
both to the railroads and the public.
We believe that the present passenger
rate can be reduced and ought to be
reduced. We believe that this should
be done in justice to the public and
would suggest that you should take
into consideration the adoption of the
2-cent rate so generally fixed by var
ious states during the past few months.
We do not wish to be unfair or unjust
to the railroads. It is in this spirit
that we ask you, In behalf of the farm
ers of Georgia. to consider the present
rate and to reduce the same to such a
point as will be both reasonable and
just to all parties interested"
It is believed that II the Georgia
union Is successful the Farmers un-
ions of the various southern states will
take up the demand for 2-cent pass
enger rates.

Long Standing Question Settled Yes
terday By Board Of Overseers.
Boston, March 14.-The long pend
ing question of whether Harvard stu
dents would be permitted to engage
further in intercollegiate sports was
disposed of Wednesday when the
board of overseers of the college, ac-
cepting the recommendations of a
majority of special committee, voted
to authorize intercollegiate athletics,
though in a restricted form. This
means that football and other games
will be continued at Harvard, as the
corporation of the university has al
ready accepted the report of the sub
committee.
The committee thought and the
board of overseers agreed that the
number Of athletic contests should be
reduced, expenses on intercollegiate
games cut down, and professional
coaching done away with as soon as
possible. ~ SIX
The committee recommended that
the athletic committee use every ef-
fort to secure concerted action with
other colleges to abolish professional
coaching.
A severe condemnation in. football
is made by Moorfield Storey, who pre-
sented a minority report.
The recommendations of the major
ity are in part as follows:
'"That instead of three members of
the university faculties to be appoint
ed by the corporation with the consent
of the overseers, the dean of the fac
ulty of arts and sciences, the dean of
Harvard college, and the dean of the
Lawrence scientific school be ex-ofR-
clio the faculty members of the COM
mittee.
THAT the undergraduate members
of the athletic committee be chosen
for each college year by the majority
vote of the following students: The
presidents Of the senior, junior, sopho-
more and freshman classes, and a
representative from each athletic or
ganization taking part in intercolleg-
late contests.
"That there be no change in the
number or method of selecting the
graduate members of the committee.
THAT intercollegiate contests be
permitted under the supervision of
the athletic committee.
"That the athletic committee secure
some man who can give his entire
time to the work, to act as graduate
manager and as administrative officer
of the athletic committee.
THAT the expenses be reduced.
"That the number of intercollegiate
athletic contests be reduced.
"That the athletic committee use
every effort to get concerted action
with other colleges to abolish pro-
fessiOnal' coaches"

Newport, R. l., March 14.-Word has
been received from Washington that
the summer conference of the army
and naval officers will convene at the
naval war college here on June 1, and
the sessions will be continued daily

class of officers in attendance at this
summers conference, and that their
ranks will range as high as rear ad-
miral.
An effort is being made in army and
naval circles to have Rear Admiral
Evans and his Atlantic feet during the
summer visit the New England coast
and lombard, in mock battle, the coast
defences, as was done some years ago
by Admiral Higginson, when he was
in command of the North Atlantic fleet.
II this is done, an interesting sum-
mer's work is in store for the ships
and officers and men commanding the
coast defences along the coast from

HARD TO ANNUL
THAW MARRIAGE
It Would Be Necessary to Show
He Was Insane at Time of
the Wedding.

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
Pittsburg, March 14.-If there should
be any attempt on the part of the fam
lily of Harry X. Thaw to annul his
marriage with Florence Evelyn Nes-
bit on the ground that he was insane
at the time the ceremony was per-
formed the proceedings are almost
certain to be brought in New York. In
this state considerable difficulty might
be experienced in annulling the mar
riage
Under the laws of the State of
pennsylvania marriage is simply a
civil contract, which can be legally
dissolved only in the divorce courts.
To annul the marriage it would be nec-
essary to prove not only that Thaw
was insane at the time of the cere-
mony, but that Evelyn Nesbit was sane
and by reason of her sanity and his
insanity she married him with a frau
dulent intent.
There is no law on the statute books
OF this state which annuls marriage
simply for the reason that one of the
parties was insane at the time the
marriage was performed. To get IN
annulment of the Thaw marriage 1t
would be necessary for Harry Thaw
himself, or through his legally ap-
pointed guardian, to apply for a di-
vorce on the ground that his wife pro-
cured their marriage for a fraudu-
lent purpose. He would then have to
go into court and prove that he was
insane at the time of the wedding.
The testimony given at the present
trial in New York would have any
bearing on the case unless the wit
nesses appeared in the divorce court
and gave their testimony.
