Grave of the Tichborne Claimant.

While the subject of claimants to
titles and the estates that go with them
is in the air it is interesting to note that
in Paddington cemetery, Willesden lane,
lies the body of Arthur Orion, who
claimed to be Sir Roger Tichborne.
On his coffin he was described as such,
bat his miniature tombstone bears mere
ly one line, and that reads mo. 1472"

Policeman's Badge Over His Heart.

Many persons are puzzled to Lnow wy
policemen wear their badges so low on
their coats instead of on the flap made
for that purpose. As a matter of fact,
the badge or star, as he calls it, of many
a policeman is right next to his heart.
Some of the bluecoats of this city can
thank their STARS for being alive. This
little metal shield has DETECTED the bullet
of burglar or highwayman and at times,
too. has stopped the knife thrust of
vould-be assassins. During the last
twenty or thirty years there are many
cases on record showing that the little

UNIFORMITY OF LAWS.

II is now proposed to agitate the
need of uniform laws on taxation in
the different states To advance the
cause, convention is to be held in Co
lumbus, o., in November, to which
representatives from every state will
be invited, as well as students and pro-
fessors In universities. Both theoret-
ical and practical men will be heard.
The convention Is called by the ma
tional conference on state. and local
taxation with the approval of Cover
nor Harris of Ohio and the Ohio board
of trade. Immediate uniformity of tax
laws Is not expected. The idea is to
bring men who study taxation together
and to get the best thought of the time
before the delegates, who will return
to their respective states and use
their influence before legislatures. 1t
is true that much property escapes
taxation because Of the different laws
of states and that the same class of
property pays widely varying rates In
the different states.
Demands for uniformity in laws are
numerous. The divorce congress ad-
vocates a uniformity in divorce and
marriage laws. Insurance men think
there should be uniformity in lnsur-
ance laws, or national control should
prevail. Students of sociology counsel
the same laws in all the states to gov
ern the parole Of prisoners. The Tor
rens land law for the registration of
titles, enacted in this state last win
ter, is uniformity law. The national
association of members of the bar has
often recommended uniformity in GER
tain kinds of legislation. The move
ments for uniformity appear to go
along with the movement for increased
national control and, in fact, they are
national rather than state. The mod
ern states rights advocates have rea-
son to be concerned about the conven-
tions and congresses to promote the
same laws on a given subject in all
the states.-Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger.

? SUGGESTED REFORMS


The present legislature, which
meets next winter. will have the op-
portunity to pass some legislation
which will make history There is
need for considerable legislation
along certain lines, and If the present
attitude of the two big political par
ties remains as 1t is at present, there
ought to be little difficulty in doing
some legislating for the people. Both
parties apparently favor revision of
the present tax law. In fact, both
parties have been pledged to a thor
ough revision which will in large
measure relieve the small property
holders from carrying the present un-
equal tax burdens. Insurance reform
Is another measure to which both par
ties have pledged themselves. Both
parties have declared for a primary
law, whereby the voters may declare
their choice of candidates to be placed
on the various tickets, including the
nomination of United States senator.
Besides these measures, for which
nearly everybody has declared, there
is the county local option measure,
for which the temperance elements In
both parties are working and against
which the liquor interests without re-
gard to political creed will work with
all their might.
That there should be some radical
changes In the municipal code as 1t
stands now has also been agreed by
most persons who have watched its
practical application. There are a
lot Of other things. both little and big,
which will probably have the atten.
tion of the present legislature when
II meets again. Altogether, there
will be plenty doing next winter TT

Land Owners Must Swear
out Warrant.

"The prosecuting attorney of
any county in the state, or even
the attorney general, have no right
to cause the arrest of hunter,
during the hunting season, for
violating the rules of any individ-
ual property owner" Such was
the substance of a decision handed
down in Circuit court at Columbus.
The decision was brought about
by the arrest of Charles Ekhart for
game on the premises of
Alice Hamway by ex-Game Ward
en- Charles He'll during the season
of 1906. The court further stated
that no officer had any right to
arrest hunter for such an offense
without having permit signed by
the owner of the premises. Elk
hart was fined $40 and costs for
the alleged offense before Justice.

Busy Grand Jury at Ian
caster.

The Fairfield county grand jury
did a land Office business during
its sitting which ended on Thurs
day evening. One hundred and
thirteen true bills were found by
that body. A majority Of these
cases originated from the wide
open town which was permitted
during the fair. The gamblers
were allowed full sway up until
Friday evening when the tip went
out to the knights of the green
cloth from official circles that they
must close. This caused conster-
nation among the gamblers, but
they obeyed. The grand jury has
now finished the work and several
prominent business people of that
town will be hauled into court for
gambling and allowing gambling
on their premises.

Falls Mill Bridge.

The case of the State of Ohio,
in relation of Charles Stevens
against the County Commissioners
of Hooking county to enjoin the
building of the Falls Mill bridge,
under the contract given by the
Board of Commissioners to Fauver
Il Renick, of Dayton, was heard
in the Common Pleas Court, Fri
day, by the Hon. George e. Mar
tin, on the testimony and the rec
ords, and temporary injunction
was allowed.
The petition of the plaintiff was
to the effect that the bridge this
side of the Falls Mill was washed
away in the March food which
necessitated the rebuilding of it
and also the making of a fill there.
That pror to letting a contract
for the building of the bridge the
county surveyor made his plans
and specifications for the work,
but did 80 in an inaccurate man
ner. That notice to bidders for
the work of constructing the
bridge and making the fill was not
made in such manner as to allow
bidder to accurately figure the
cost of the work and that the no.
tice was not published for the re,
quired length of time.
To these charges the commits
sioners pleaded not guilty and
consequently the case was tried on
the testimony on Friday.
The testimony showed that
Chas. Stevens had put in a bid
for the building of the bridge, and
that the contract was not awarded
to him for the reason that his bid
was not the lowest and best bid.
The building of this bridge be-
Ing an urgent necessity tas county J

Concerning the Financial
Situation.

Prosperous times, the times of
much money, are also the periods
of much debt.making; and the re-
cent little touch Of financial crisis
was only faint cry of "stop a
moment" and let us see IL the
debts are not getting out of pro-
portion to the prosperity.
1t was only little opportunity
that the country took to consult
its hygiene, and see il the laws of
commercial health were all being
observed. 1t was found that they
were not; that some of the organs
were not working right, and that
the business appetite was being
fostered by too much stimulant.
This situation, as in distempers
of any kind, suggested II little rest
and the quiet recognition, for
awhile, of the injunction of the
simple life. This is what the
great railroads mean by abstain
ing from new construction, just a t
present, and doing only what is
actually needed. This course is
being followed by great enterprises
all the country.
This action will be felt all
through our trade and industry.
But we should not repine; and if
there should be little less work
and less money for awhile, we
should regard the discomforts as
only the processes of restoration,
just as it happens to man, who
has eaten too much or INDUCED
himself unwisely, when he subjects
himself to more moderate desires.
There are some comforting circum.
stances in the situation. A bust,
ness agent of great Eastern firm
received instructions to make some
important concessions in his
prices. This is only doing what
the meat packers have done, recog-
nizing the fact that the people are
about to protest against the reign
of exorbitant prices.
So, the worst experience we are
going to haYe, as a result of the
"crisis," is the toning up of the
system, and that might be great
benefit, even if we didn't have to.

The County Commissioners seem
to have acted in good faith and
were earnestly endeavoring to have
the bridge built at the earliest
possible date, and the real reason
for the delay of the matter, up un-
til this time, was due to the fact
that the bridge is located on the
States property, and the State
did not agree until recently to
bear the expense of building said
bridge.
AS the matter now stands, the
case will probably consume CON
siderable time, which will prevent
the building of the bridge until

Commissioners have decided to
