No Lone Dog May Bay the Moon.

From ne London Daily Aau.
The new Kent Control Of Toys Order. ioof. pro-
vides that no dog shall he allowed out between the
hours Of sunset and sunrise without being under
proper restraint and the hrst summons under
this order was heard at Bromley yesterday when
Edward Giflham OF 81. Annes Lodge was sum
moned for allowing his dog 70 be out alone a. night
The defendant said that tho dog must have either
b'oken loose or have been decoyed away. no
hoped that now they would have proper police
protection and that II would not be necessary 70
keep dog. His place had been broken into and
nothing had been discovered about the perpetrators
The Bench said that as u was new order. WIN
which the public were not generally acquainted
they would only order the payment OF costs eu'
70 would be well for the public Of Kent TO make
note OF the order.

Mr.Roosevelt as an Honorary Bencher,

Among all civilized peoples there are
excellent individuals who labor untir-
ingly and unoonsciously, like teredos in
the heart OF pile; to fortify their most
valued institutions.
On the 18th of August, 1908, JAMES I.
granted the patent Of the Inner and
Middle Temple, and the tercentenary OF
that memorable occurrence has been
made the occasion of remarkable
proposition. IT will be recalled that
the benchers Of the Inns Of Court, at
the close of Mr.. JOSEPH HODGES
CHoATE's term as American Ambassador
to the Court Of st. James's, made the
extraordinary departure from tradition
which was implied in their inviting him
to an honorary seat in their august and
venerable body. 1t was a startling and
an unprecedented compliment, a most
notable and gracious distinction, even II
Mr.. CHoATR was the chief figure Of the
American bar and a man whom it is
natural to admire and to honor
Certain kindly disposed and unques-
tionably well meaning persons have
DCtu ny LILO OCl CODtCLidiy
just mentioned to conceive the idea Of
making Mr.. ROOSEVELT an honorary
bencher as soon as he shall have unbur-
dened himself Of his present grave duties.
They are convinced that this would be
fine thing to do. Americans, they are
satisfied, are "just as proud as English
men of their heritage in the common
law of England, of which the Inns OF
Court are the physical embodiment.
Besides, edward VII. is the senior
bencher, and what could more conduoe
to the entente between the two great ma
tons than his reception, in that capacity,
Of the illustrious ruler Of the American
people? -.-'.
The impediment that Mr.. ROOSEVELT.
althoughshe has studied law, has never
been called actually to the bar is frankly
admitted. The benchers, indeed, could
hardly be expected to make astill further
departure from precedent than was OBJ
served in the case OF Mr.. CHoATE. But,
it is urged, ~it is only necessary to men,
ton the obstacle to secure its removal y
Mr.. RoosEvELT's reception as an honor
ary bencher by the senior bencher, who
happens at the moment to be EDWARD
VII. Of England impresses these worthy
people as the fittest possible expression
that could be given TO the historic iden-
tification Of the Inner and Middle Temple
with "the maintenance of good govern
ment and the furtherance of the common
veal - "
There Is 20 enlightened and God fear
ing lawyer in the United States, nor for
the matter of that any citizen of parts
and intelligence, who will not kindle with
appreciation Of this amiable scheme.
When did we ever produce a citizen 30
signally consecrated to the joint heritage
of England and America in the common
law as Mr. ROOSEVELT has shown HIM
self to be? What other man, we permit
ourselves to ask, would have developed
a conception of the common law 80
nearly divine as to lead him to lynch the
Supreme Court of his own country?
Surely for penetration and profound
discernment our neighbors across the
waters are without rival.
We have an uneasy feeling that the
benchers have never heard Of GoMpERs.

When the German Parliament decided
last spring to build the colonial railroads
declared to be necessary some OF the lead
ing cotton manufacturers at once secured
large tracts Of cotton land In German East
Africa and are arranging to plant on an
extensive scale. Germany bought last year
nearly SiS7, 900 900 worth Of fibre to feed her
cotton mills; her people have been clamor-
ing for the development Of colonial cotton
growing, and still it took the Government
a long time to realize that so bulky and
cheap O commodity requires the best OF
transportation facilities or 1t cannot bo'
taken to market to compete with the fibre
OF other countries.
Eight years ago when the British reported
that northern Nigeria might become q great
source OF cotton they added that its pros
poets in this line would not be worth
shilling till railroads were built to the cotton
lands. The long rapids in the Niger de-
prive these lands OF water transport to the
sea. This is the reason the British are now
extending their railroad from Lagos about
700 miles to the Niger and beyond, and tho
completion of the bridge across the river
will soon give Nigerian cotton an outlet to
the Atlantic. There is no doubt OF the great
stimulus which this route will give to cot
ton culture.
The German colony Of Togo pointed tho
way in 1900 to this new agricultural industry
in tropical Africa Togo is producing q
fibre now that is said to equal American
middling. but British Lagos is exporting ten
times as much cotton a. Togo and German
East Africa together because Its railroad
extends further into the cotton region. 1t
is obvious that the demand for colonial oot-
ton Is ono of the strongest incentives to
railroad development in tropical Africa.

diers and Sailors Association at Sodus Bay.
gave utterance to these sentiments:

DESERTED LITTLE ones.
Two Children Found Half Starved in
Room on North Side.

A very sad case has been called to
the attention of the juvenile court of
fcials and the humane society by Mrs.
Thorpe, the police matron. Two little
girls, IL and IA years old, had been
abandoned and were living alone in a
room over a furniture store in North
Topeka. There was little or no furni-
ture In this room, not single window
and nothing to eat. The condition of
the little girls was first discovered
when thy appealed to the milk man
making his rounds last week for some
money with which to buy something to
eat. They were very hungry Kill
maurs King of the North Topeka HUI
name society, took hold of the case
and also ]. T. Lucas of the Juvenile
wants of the little ones.
They came here with their mother
last fall and first lived in house near
the Kansas avenue bridge. The moth
ed was in destitute circumstances and
appealed to Mrs. Thorpe for aid. She
was given work but seemed incapable
OF holding place. After working at
two or three places she was given up
by the authorities who were helping
her. 1t seems that a short time ago
she went to St. Joseph, Mo-, with some
women companions and left the two
little girls, Nellie and Mary, alone in
the room where they were found with
out food or money.
After the officers had taken the girls
in charge the mother returned She
promised to take care of the girls and
they were returned to her. This week
another complaint came in of the
mothers neglect. The humane officers
took charge of the girls again and to-
morrow their case will be tried in juv-
emile court 1t is expected that they
will be sent to some state institution
for care and training. They are ignor-
ant and especially in need of training
before they can work for themselves
Both girls stated. and their appear
ance bore out these statements, that
they had suffered privations from
neglect and poverty. The youngest of
these girls especially is a bright look
ing little thing, and with care and
training can be made a useful woman.
1t is very sad, the case of these two
little ones, creatures of circumstance
and environment and doomed to hope
lessness beforehand, through no FAINT
OF their own. Children like these pre-
sent complex problem to society. Who
shall pretend to fix the weight of ex-
| tenuating circumstances?

have been taken seriously sick because
of drafts in the hall, and it is said that
several members have died from the eff
fects Of severe colds contracted there
The executive council also instructed
the state architect and engineer to
make thorough inspection of the
state heating plant and determine ex-
actly what is necessary to be done to
put the plant in first class condition.
The question of providing commit
tee rooms for the next session of the
legislature was considered. It was sug-
gested that some large rooms be finish
ed off down in the state house sub
basement, and the State Historical So
ciety be moved down there in toto. The
State Historical society has been grow
ing rapidly, and now occupies much
room which the executive council
covets for legislative committee rooms.
The state architect stated that it would
be practical to give the State Histori-
cal society nearly the whole of the sub
basement.
1t is not likely, however that this
plan will be adopted. The friends of
the society will not stand by and see it
relegated to the cellar. Instead. the
probability is that the next session of
the legislature will vote to spend a
couple of hundred thousand dollars in
erecting splendid new building for
use of the Historical society
Meantime the question of committee
rooms for the legislature is as perplex-
ing as ever. The probability is that
each state officer will have to give up
part of his office space during the leg
islative session.
