HOW WOULD THE UNFIT
IN THIS CASE BE SELECTED

vid Starr Jordan says a drought
th.>t would destroy two thirds of the
wo~lI $ population every fifteen years
would enhance the value of the hui
man residue and its consequent
progeny.
The trouble would be to find the
man whom others woulG trust to do
he work of elimination.
For instance. if David Starr Jordan
had his way, he would cut a wide
swarth of massacre among millions
who might consider themselves Of
Starr Jordan.
and POSSIBLY they might find i ~;
others, and those not in Jordan 5
mortuary list, either, to agree with
them.
And this is not to dsparage
the brains the attainments, or the
good work in education accomplished
by David Starr Jordan.
But the man who does honestly and
dutifully the work he believes the
good God has given him to do. no mat
ter how lowly that work: who loves
his wife and children and brings his
progeny up in the love of honor. of
honesty and of truth; who sees in
this life but preparatory school for
the life that is to be no matter if he
view that life through heather
glasses-such man doing the best
he can, whether he be either a Con
fucian working in the rice fields OF
China or a Brahmin polishing the floor
OF tmple in the wilds Of India, has
his allotted place in the world. his
task TO perform. He is a part of the
universal scheme of a bountiful Crea
tor as helpful in his little sphere as
Jordan in his.
Ants, and field mice. and bugs. are
very little things in the animal world
they have their uses.
And if it be question of the elm

elephant can do infinitely more harm
than his small neighbOrs of the fields

Last week there was an Indian con
victed in Winnemucca Of murder
II killed his squaw on land claim
"a to be an Indian reservation, and
Judge Bonnifield acting as his attor
ney. interpOSed a demurrer to the
effect that, as the crime was CON
mitted on land belonging to the
United States Government the
State OF Nevada had no jurisdiction,
Judge Pike overruled the demurrer,
and a jury promptly convicted the
Indian.
# the decision of the Supreme
Court OF Nevada is good law, the state
has no jurisdiction.
About ten years ago, U. S. District
Jones assaulted Sam Davis, editor of
the Carson Appeal, with brass
knuelSles, on postofEce ground, belong
ing to the I. s. Government.
He was indicted for assault to do
great bodily harm by he Ormsby
grand jury. and the Supreme Court
held unanimously that the assault
being committed on ground belonging
to the United States Government the
State had no jurisdiction.
Judge Bonnife.d was Oh the bench

decision. ana he will doubtless appeal
to the Supreme Court on behalf of the
Indian. and ask the court to apply
the same law to his case that they.

Remarkable Five-MIie Dash on RaR
road, Holding Up Train.
Altoona, Pa, Oct 2S-For Ave miles
q horse ran at break-neck speed along
the main line Of the Pennsylvania rail
road, and 1t was not stopped until 1t
emerged from the eastern end of the
Gallitzin tunnel, where it caused a
bold-up of an express train to avoid a
serious accident.
John Goldy's young son tied his
fathers horse to a tree along the rail-
road two miles west of Cresson. The
animal was frightened by the shooting
of hunters in nearby woods and slip
ped the bride. which was left hang
ing to the tree. 1t started east, drag
ging the wagon after it, and defying
all efforts to stop its fight. In q few
minutes 1t was racing through Cresson,
still on the railroad, and the wagon
was gradually being reduced to kind
ling wood as 1t bumped over the ties.
Without the slightest hesitation 1t
sped into the darkness of the tunnel,
and a message was flashed to the op-
orator at the eastern entrance to nag
the Harrisburg and Pittsburg express.
In q moment the horse came out of the
eastern mouth, and, being exhausted
by its five-mile run, was easily caught,
The wagon had been demolished.
