DRIFTWOOD
The old. Old Lane of Regret.
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

Il wandered today to an old, old lane Where oft I have strolled before. felt the old, old joy and pain The n "oi old, old old joy M and pain of love And the old, old cry of the dove. I plucked some fow'rs in the old, old That smiled from everywhere. Somehow I'd look about in vain And my hand would tremble there, My hand would tremble--I don't know And the breeze would only sigh.
 III Sd I sat me down in the old. old lane On the old, old rustic seat,
 again
 Alone in the old retreat Alone--yet why should I be alone, If l had claimed my own?
 W. "Ha. Ha." I laughed at the old. old And the old. old tangle O bloom, And the old, old wrangle O birds re- fraln, But over my heart was gloom Yes. gloom that was blacker than night. Melisse, For thought of goodbye kiss

ES IT GOOD LAwY

The New Bedford Standard calls at- tention to a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts which is of general interest. The Stan dard thus explains the affair.
 The full bench of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts has rendered a deci- sion that will appeal to the general public as entirely fair. It is an exact reversal of the decision of the superior court in the case that called 1t forth. The suit arose over the running away of horse and resulting injury to a pedestrian. The defense was made that the owner of the team was not re- sponsible, since the team was in the charge of the driver, who had left it to enter a store. The superior court agreed with the contention of the de- fendant, but the Supreme Court ruled that the owner of the team and not his servant was responsible. There would be no fairness in holding the hired driver responsible for the freaks of his employers horse nor In depciving the public of compensation for damage incurred on the plea of the drivers negligence. The employees competency is the affair of the employer and not of the public.
 We doubt very much whether the general public will agree with our con- temporary that this decision was en- tirely fair. If the negligent driver had been held responsible for damages resulting from what was plainly his own fault, we could see the justice of it. but this is putting a new feature on human responsibility. Carried to its logical extent no man who owns a horse or a team is safe from damage suits if injury results from the negli- gence or incompetency of the driver. That driver may be an employe of the owner or he may have hired the team from the owner, but if we understand the courts ruling the hirer or driver may be thoroughly incompetent or criminally careless without mourning any responsibility. Seems to us that such a decision as this is shifting the blame to the wrong party.

SATURDAY, MARCH Q, 1907.
BOOSTING HIMsELF.

One of the most singular exhibitions of unconscious mental obtusity was recently made by ex-Governor Pen- nypacker, of Pennsylvania. In boast ful and self-laudatory review of his own administration he actually point ed with pride" to the state's law for the hrfdlfng of the newspapers, some times referred to as ''the Pennypacker snuzzIe." The history of that press 1muzzling law, as The Hartford Cou- rant views it, 'qs worth recalling. Four years ago the cleverest cartoon ist in Philadelphia was almost daily depicting the States chief magistrate cruelty good It outraged the vic- tim's feelings both as Governor and as a Pennypacker. He sat down at his desk and wrote one of the quaint est, most amusing messages ever sent to any assembly of lawmakers. The humor was absolutely unconscious; his excellency hadn't a smile just then in his whole system. The sympathetic legislators proceeded to legislate on the lines he indicated. A delegation of Philadelphia newspaper publishers went up to Harrisburg to remonstrate; we seem to remember that the Cover nor was nearly rude to that most courteous of gentlemen, the Hon. Charles Emory Smith. upon that oc- casion. The bridling and curbing law went into the statute book"
 Whenever a public official lays him self open to newspaper criticism and then gets offended and endeavors to curb the press by drastic legislation he is certain to fall, as he should. This is not Russia or any other absolute autocracy, and the newspapers are not to be cowed or suppressed. Sometimes they go too far, but all the States have libel laws to which a man may appeal if he feels that he has been slandered, but when he attempts to si- fence criticism by oppressive laws he is pretty apt to make matters worse, as Pennypacker did. His law not only failed to stop the papers from criticising and cartooning him but gave them new ammunition. The law is practically a dead letter, yet the late Governor is so filled with vain glory that he congratulates himself and his administration for having the law passed. A queer bird is Penny packer.

HEARST LEAVES DEMoCRACY.
Announces Independence League VIII
 Act AiouA.

Announces Independence League VIII Albany Dispatch.
 William Randolph Hearst read him here today. A meeting of all he the Independence League leaders in the State was held at the Hotel Ten Eyck, and he again accepted It's lead ershtp. In the course of his speech he said:
 T am happy that our league has ee;Gntinued to increase i1a,s in strength. By can Party and then with the Demo- cratic Party it has been able always to advance the principles of the league those principles Independently"
 MT. Hearsts term as a Democratic York York District expired e yesterday. SG and he is now free from all ties to that party. He especially invited his fol- lowers and the public to be .vigilant
 The Hearst men gathered to discuss Legislation, and also. to confer on a candidate for the Court of Ap- peals this year. All were anxious to hear what MT. Hearst would have to say, and they cheered his utterances enthusiastically.
 Some of the leaders in their speeches told the league people that the other parties would prODaDlV Spl1I the nom nations for the Appeals Courr or each nominate through the State Commit tee. The League, they said, would hold a regular State Convention, where all might have a say and would nominate candidates with whom the organization could seek support on. a platform of protest against present conditions
 One of the first things MT: Hearst did was to call on Gov. Hughes. The former rivals talked beside the big desk in the executive chamber for fif- teen minutes

DoIur and OverdOIng.

Fort Payne Journal.
 The principal criticism of MT. Corners course is not founded on the charge that he is not doing what he said he would do, but that he is doing what he did not say he would do. In other words he is overdoing, The editor of The Journal heard two of MT. Corners speeches in the late campaign and one or two in his previous campaign, and Is prepared 10 assert positively that in none of them did MT. Conner tell the people that In the eveut he was elect ed he would favor and recommend ex- emption of large interests from tax ation or that he would approve the ere ation of many new offices and large in- creases in official salaries. The bur den of MT. Corners speeches was along the line of relief for the people from unjust rates and regulations of rail- road companies. What Is the sort of relief worth that saves to the people few thousand dollars from freight charges and then gives 1t all away to new and old public officials? If any body can see where the people are ben efited by that sort of sleight of- hand transfer from one pocket 10 the other (with never a transfer to the pockets of the people, they must have sharp eyes indeed. Nobody criticiseE MT. Conner for carrying out his prom ises. The objection Is to his playing those cards which he seems to have had up his sleeve.

Says The Norfolk Landmark

W. J. Oliver contends that he was whangdoodled out of the contract for digging the Panama Canal. Colombia knows she was whangdoodled out of the Isthmus of Panama. When game begins with the whangdoodle feature that peculiarity is apt to be cropping out in the subsequent proceedings.
 hat word reminds us of the text of the old backwoods preacher: For they shall gnaw a file. and flee away to the mountains of Hepsidam, where the lion roareth. and the whangdoodle mourn eth for it's first-born. The whang doodle appears to be very much in evil dence all through this canal business.

Surgery for Ailing Trees.

BOHtOn f1bTHIu.
 One of the curiosities of modern for- estry is the care of beautiful old shade trees. The amputation of diseased or dead limbs is as carefully performed to prevent further decay from the ele- ments as in surgical operations on human beings. Decaying cavities are cleaned and filled with a preserving cement, as is done by the modern dent ist And the latest advance is to build a little tin roof along the uppeA sur face of wide spreading branches where little hollows might hold dAmpness And promote decay. Some handsome latriarchs we'll deserve 1t.

The New York Press calls attention to the fact that Senator Spooner op- posed and fought almost every impor- tant measure that the President fa- vored. yet the latter was really ex- travagant in his laudation of the Senator when he resigned.
