NAY Make n Tsst Case

There is considerable dissatisfaction
among some of the owners Of orchards
in regard TO the manner in which some
of the men who are inspecting the or
chards are going about the work. IL
seems that some of the assistant IN
spectors are going into the orcharus
and cutting out treee and getting away
before the owner of the orchard knows
anything about it. Some Of the grow
ers have gone into their orchards ana
have been somewhat surprised to ma
that the trees have been cut down.
Under the old law the assistant IN
spectors under the direction of the IN
spector have the authority to dispose
of the trees after The owners thereof
have been notified of their condition
and refused to destroy or treat the dis
essed trees. The law IS amended by
the last legislature makes the refusal
of the,owner to destroy or treat the
trees, after he has been notified by the
inspector to do so, a misdemeanor and
the matter is to be given int The hands
of the states attorney for prosecution.
Several growers have become ircens-
ed at the manner in which they have
been treated and, it is said that they
will have warrants issued for the In
spectors on the ground of trespass and
that a later action will be brought for
damages. 1t is said that the growers
will make a test case in the courts to
find out if the inspectors have the
right under the law to enter the Or
chards and cut down the trees without
first notifying them.
This will make an interesting case
if it gets into the courts and one in
which all the fruit growers will be il
terested and they will follow the pro-
ceedings closely World.

re,,7.eoO Feet.

Springfield, Ohio.-Rail Robinson,
of Buffalo, fell 1000 feet with knaben-
shue's airship and escaped injury ex-
cept for a slight bruise on bis forehead.
Thousands of people saw the balloon
tilt as the gas rushed out. Then II be-
gan to fall rapidly. Women and child
rem ran screaming, expecting to see
Robinson dashed to pieces. Instead he
was calmy surveying his crippled ma
chine when the people rushed toward
him.
Going higher than usual, he explain
oil to escape the wind, he struck coun-
ter currents at height Of 1000 feet
The propeller was thrown against the
end Of the balloon and the rapidly re-
volving wheel cut open the gas bag,
which Immediately began to settle rap
idly.
Robinson kept his head and climbed
quickly to the top Of the propeller,
which up-euded the balloon, forming q
parachute. As soon as this was done
the air entered the bag and the balloon
came down more slowly. Within few
feet of the ground Robinson jumped
out. The engine and apparatus was
smashed but the gas bag can be mend
ed.

Autos Wild ID ash.

A most marvellous escape was re-
corded at Mont Alto, when a big tour
IL & car running down the decIivity at
go miles an hour was run into a tree
and the occupants hurled many feet but
were fortunate enough to escape Irlc.
tically unhurt.
DR.. J. III. Hartman, of Harrisburg,
with his chauffeur, Smith, came to
Mountandale Sanltarium in their
big touring car.
They decided to take run over to
Pen Mar to the Reformed Reunion in
the automobile. They made an early
I, start and soon were on their way in
the roads leading down and out of the
South Mountain
AS they were on one of the steepest
declivties something broke about the
brake and the chauffeur could do moth
ing to control the machine, which
quickly acquired an express train s
speed and was going fully 60 miles an
hour.
Among the trees and stones and he
twisting turns of a mountain road it
was certain death to maintain that
speed and it seemed impossible to
check the car. AS last chance it was
hurriedly decided to take all risks and
steer the auto into tree and this was
done, with a hurried prayer for safety.
With terrific crash the big machine
pumped into tree and quivering
! came to standstill while DR.. and
Mrs. Hartman and Smith were shot
through space as though hurled fro m
a catapult.
/ The auto was badly smashed but
wonderful as it may seem the only one
of the trio at all injured was Mrs. Hart
man, and she was only slightly bruised
end scratched.

Mr.. Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati,
former Attorney-Gene in an address
before the Bar Association of Kentucky
called attention to recent declarations
from high sources to the effect that sit
is the right and duty of the Federal
Government to so step in whenever, in
the judgment of the men in charge of
it, the State governments fail to act, or
to act effectively, concerning matters
which are assumed to require action by
some government Judge Harmon
said: ssWhile these extraordinary pro-
posals have attracted wide notice, some
persons seeking to justify them on
grounds of convenience and many con-
demning them on grounds of law and
reason, / have noticed hardly refer
ence to their utter repugnance TO the
very nature and essential principles of
popular government. When the people
wish the Constitution changed, they
will surely change it themselves, as
they have always done; but they will
take the time and use the deliberatton
they have themselves provided to
guard against hasty and incoifsiderate
action. The Constitution had to be
bound by amendments adopted by less
than all, but only on condition that
they may be made in the manner
agreed ION by ALL" Judge Alton b.
Parker declared before the North lCar-
DINA Bar Association that behind the
campaign against the governmental
plan of the fatheis,n "stand the great
corporations of the country which are
engaged in interstate commerce and
insurance. Their reason IL thai is is
easier to deal with one government
than with many. 1t is not their pur-
pose to submit proposed amendments
of the Constitution to the people asthe
Constitution provides-a procedure
with which no one could find fault, as
it offers an opportunity for discussion
before the people prior to sheir action.
Rather it is their scheme to accom-
plish the Capitalization of power by
unconstitutional, and therefore dis
honest methods. These include: Con
gressional legislation assuming pow =
ers not granted, but expressly retain
ed either to the States or to the people;
Executive exercise of powers not grant
ed, and the seizure, in one form or an
other, of powers belonging to other de-
plrtments of government; the substi-
tuition of statutes for common law"

After the Saloons

Prominent business men Ill all parts
of the United States are interested III
movement which has as its aim the
getting of a decision from the Uhlteu
States Supreme court on the constltu-
tionality of granting saloon licenses
Charles E. Newling, Of Indianapolis,
Ind, is at the head of the movement.
He declares he is, backed by millions
of dollars being furnished by capitalist
Heis now in Milwaukee, in an effort to
get test case started in Wisconsin.
The movement is unique temper
ance crusade. 1t is supported by the
decisions of four Indian Circuit court
judges, and the opinion of innumerar lie
attorneys. Mr.. Newlin declares that
in case he is able to win test case be-
fore the United States Supreme court
all saloons will be closed within l0
years. The decision will, he says, put
the saloon on the same basis as lotter-
les, gambling and prize 1ightiog. The
court has declared il impossible to le-
galize these enterprises. Mr.. Newlln
says he has assurance of million OF dol
lars to carry on the work. The decls-
ion of Judge Samuel r. Altman, OF
Boone county, Ind, is at the basis OF
the crusade.
Thus far Mr.. NewIin has been I'M
able to reach the higher courts, because
the saloon men refuse to appeal their
cases. In every test case in Indiana
the liquor men have failed TO sustain
their suit,and accepted the verdict of
the circuit courts. Judge Altman is
now making tour of the country in
which he will make speeches in defense
of the ruling, which caused almost a
national sensation. He declares the
movement is not one of temperance,
but one purely OF law.
E5Mr, Newlin says he became interest
ed in the legality Of the saloon in 1890
when he read decision of the United
States Supreme hcourt, which said;
s'There is no inherent right in citizen
to thus sell intoX eating liquors at re-
tail; it is not privilege of citizen OF
state orIof the United States. Mr.New-
lin says he compiled a number of Other
decisions on the same subject by State
Supreme courts. These decisions, he
points out, where made the backbone
of the prosecution in all the cases thus
! far tried in Indiana and will be cited
as goodslaw in case he can get a case
before Ethe united States Supreme
i court. Mr.. Newlin is business man

Full Fare From Ministers.

Clergymen travelling on the w. M
and b. Il o. railroad Ill States where
two-cent-a-mile laws have gone into
effect will hereafter have to pay full
fare. For years it has been the custom
of railroad companies to give clergy
men living on their lines ticket,
which, when presented at the ticket
office, would entitle the helder TO half
rate.
The w. NJ. has withdrawn its cleri-
cal orders in West Virginia, where a
two-cent-a-mlle law recently became
effective, but still has the tickets out
standing in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, where no rate laws have been
passed. The b. & O. has not taken up
any of the clerical tickets, but has given
orders that in States where two cents
a mile is charged ministers must pay
full fare. However, clergymen residing
in States having two two-cent-a-
mile rate can secure the half rate in
other States where such law is not
in force.

MURRY HEARD FROM
COMMENTS OPENLY ON REPORT
Ed LETTER FROM ATTORNEY
GENERAL BoNAPARTE.

Guthrie Okla. July 21.-Several
days ago It was announced in OK
lahoma papers that Attorney Gen

vrution to task for having sought
IN advance opinion from tho admin

President Murray made the follow

From he declaration Of those
who are in control OF the Republican
party evidently they desired a
change In the very first section OF
the constitution which reads as fol

would add 20 the end of that section
