German Protection to Horses,

According to the manager of the
Berlin Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, an excellent organ
ization, there are no laws, ordinances
or police regulations in Germany pro-
hibiting the use of the check rein on
horses with the exception of the police
ordinances of Berlin. The only law
Germany. as far as this authority knows
which prohibits the i'll treatment of an
imals is that contained in the imperial
penal code, according to the provisions
of which anyone who publicly, cruelty
tortures or maltreats an animal is liza
hle. to a fine not exceeding $50 marks
l$35.70) or to Imprisonment of not over
six weeks. Throwing stones or other
hard bodies or mud at animals is also
punishable by fine not exceeding 80
marks tS14.2S). or an Imprisonment OF
not over II days AS the existing stat
utes are not regarded as sufficient to
properly protect animals from cruel
treatment, the various societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals in Ger
many are endeavOring to secure the
enactment of new legislation which
would provide them with more efficient
legal support in their praiseworthy eff
forts.
A leafiet published by the same so
ciety makes it appear that laws of Ger
many for the protection of animal;
from cruelty are not as efficient as those
of the United States. Although the
societies and even a number of horse
breeders deprecate the use of the checl
rein, they have not been successful
hitherto, with the foregoing exception
in bringing about its adjustment.

A man sat on the brow of hill and
kicked himself. Incidentally he was
smoking Il cigarette and watching the
sunset.
Why, oh, why, had he ever thought
that he needed absolute rest and quiet
that he didn't want ever to hear APP
plause again or to look into peoples
faces? A solid week of this coveted
solitude had made him "a Sadder and
a wiser man." What wouldn't he give
this very moment for something to
happen?
He jumped up suddenly. Something
had happened. something very aggra-
waiting. AS he stopped down to pick up
the little green apple that had bit him
square on the shoulder boyfsh laugh
rang out on the other side of nearby
fence.
He threw the apple back over the
fence again and reversed his opinion
on the value of absolute quiet.
The NEXT night the same thing hap
pened, only this time when the apple
reused him from his reverie the sun
had been some time set and darkness
and silence We're stealing over the hill.
"1'll catch that kid this time" he
said, jumping up.
With run and bound he made the
fence and landed lightly on the other
side face to face with a young fellow
almost as tall as himself.

The Peoples Triumph.

The passage of the direct primary bill
by the lower branch of the legislature
1O2 members voting in the affirmative,
is triumph for the people. The meas
ure originally had few supporters
majority of the legislature being op-
posed TO it. That it passed by two
thirds vote is due to the fact that the
people. irrespective of party, demanded
that they be given the power TO name
their public servants without the help
or intervention of political bosses.
That it was not treated as party
question, but passed with the votes of
republicans and democrats, is a good
sign. To the republicans who voted
for the bill and who refused TO be guild
ed by selfish politicians, the approval
of their constituents is due To Minor
ity Leader Pattison and his colleagues
: r-yyho looked beyond petty partisan ad
vantage and who gave the measure
d. the necessary two-thirds vote to make
it in force July 1, the highest need OF
praise is due.
The measure now goes TO the senate
and if that body respects the plain
wishes of the people, it will concur il

needed the voice of the people. Viii

A TEST CASE.
Attorney General Of Minnesota Ad.
Judged In Contempt by Federal
Judge for Enforcing State Law.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. a. Attorney
General Young of Minnesota was ad
Judged in contempt OF court by Judge
Lochrelsin the United States district
court Monday and fined 800, which
he refused to pay. AN appeal to the
United States supreme court will be
taken In the form Of an application for
writ Of habeas corpus; as Mr..
Young has been remanded TO the Gus
tody Of the United States marshal,
and the question Of whether the
United States court has the right to
enjoin a state from enforcing It's laws
will thus be finally disposed OF. The
question involved is whether an ofilcer
or servant Of a sovereign state can be
sued. It came up ~ the attempt to
enforce the commodity freight rate
law enacted by the last legislature.
Judge Lochren enjoined Attorney
General Young from enforcing the law
and included the state railroad and
warehouse commission and any ship
per. Thereupon Attorney General
Young brought mandamus proceedings
in the county court to compel the
railroads to revise their rates accord
ing to the state law.
