Higher Law of Public Opinion.

Higher Law of Public opinion
From the Kansas City Star
Public opinion is an immense factor for
right economic relations. wholly apart
from the influence it has in shaping legis-
Iation. Doubtless much of this is through
the fear that restrictive laws will be
forced. but at least the menace or the
pressure is effective. A municipality, foi
example. is not impotent, though a public
service corporation may have an undue
advantage over it through franchise
privilege. Desire to have the good will
Of a community can frequently induce
compliance with the eommunitys de-
mands more quickly than the same action
could be forced by proverbially tedious
litigation. The spirit of city, Of State,
or of the nation is reflected in its laws.
hut is higher than its laws And this IN
the continuous. ordinary times as well as
in those rare, stressful emergencies when
the will Of a self-relant race IS apotheo-
sized in "the law higher than the Con-
StitutiOn.

Toledo 7heatg's
"PARSlFAL" AT TOLEDO.

A play as broad in its interests as
humanity itself. Elaborate and spec.
tacular in production, weird in its por.
trayal of the elemental passions, alb.
sorbing as a dream of the highest
good, yet keen and intense in its ap
peal to the individnal; such is the de.
scription of the Wagner wonder drama
which Toledo is to see in its new Eng
lish dress at the Valentine Asril 1O-11.
1t is generally condition of
dramatic art that human interests
must be paramount, and this condition
has been complied with in the transla-
tion of "Parsifal." Abstract of ideas
and poetic fancles are made real in the
characters and eXperienc of living
persons. The faith that good shall be
the final goal of i'll, forms the legend
wrought out to certitude in the action
of the play. The futility of low cum
nlng, craft, dupllcity and all the un-
lovely brood of the neither world, when
opposed by the nober intelligence
which comprehends hut dlsregards
them ALL is demonstrated in this
drama, which centers around the per-
sonality of the son of many generations
of soldier sires, whom his mother
would have made a shepherd of but
whom destiny made king. There is
sound philosophy and true art in the
final description of the personality of
Pdrsifal
AS a spectacle "Parsifal" is ire
mendous enterprise; the scenery is on
a lavish scale and the illuminatlons
and electric effects form striking
feature of the production. An aug
mented orchestra of twenty musicians
will render the soul-stirring strains of
Parsifal as an accompaniment to the
wondrous text.
The hour of commencement will diff
fer from that of the former custom,
the long dinner intermlssion having
been eliminated now permits of giving
the play at one sitting. The curtain
for the evening performance will rise
promptly at AS. Auditors should be
In their seats when the performance
begins, as none will be seated during
the action of the play.
Seats ordered by mail will be for
wdrded on receipt of remittance and
self addressed stamped envelope dl-
rected to Manager Valentine Theatre,

Awful Punishment of Murderers.

So late as the year 1881 the two
Mavromichaells, who slew Count Cape
d'Ilstra, the first president of Greece
were immured within close brick wallis
built around them up to their chins
and supplied with salted food, but no
drink, until they died. Damiens, who
attempted the life of King Louis XIV.
of France, was first barbarously tor
tured and then torn to pieces by wild
horses. This punishment was carried
out in one of the principal squares of

assassinated Henry w. of France, suf.

pioneers, after a long and perilous
journey from New England over the
Allegheny mountains in wagons, and
then down the Ohio river from what is
now Pittsburgh, Pa, in crude flat
boat named the "Mayhower," landed
at the mouth of the Muskingum river
and made the first permanent settle
ment of the North West Territory,
which comprises the states Ohio

SAYS MANY WOMEN ARE BALD
Hairdresser Refutes Idea Which Has
Become General.

"Why is it men get bald and women
don't?"
AT this question the hairdresser
laughed.
my dear sir" he said, there are
quite as many bald women as men. In
fact, incline to believe that there are
more"
fronts, fringes, and complete female
wigs in his window.
why should those things exist If
women didn't get bald?" he said. THE
hairdresser puts in all his spare time
in making false hair contrivances, and
nine out of ten of them are made for
women. Well, woman wouldn't wear
them II she didn't need them, would
she?
when man gets bald, he aclnowl-
edges frankly this injury that the
years have done him; he let's all the
world see his bare and hideous white
scalp. But when woman gets bald,
she brings up over her bald spot the
long locks above her ears and at the
back of her neck, and she further con-
ceals her badness with switch, or
false curls, or fringe, or whatever
best suits her.
"Yes, take hardresser's word for
1t, woman's hair is no better than
man's-there are as many bald wom-
en- as men-but woman hides her
badness. whereas man let's his be
seen"

ranto suit brought by Attorney-Gen-

Clellan as Mayor of this city, directed
the jury to render verdict to the
effect that Mr.. Mcclellan was duly
and legally elected, and that no evil
dence to sustain the charges of fraud
in the election of 1905 had been dis
closed. This the jury did without
leaving the box. This ends two and
one-half years litigation instituted
by William Randolph Hearst, one of
the defeated candidates in the cleo
ton of 1905.
Clarence j. Shearn, Hearst's coun-
sci. took formal exception to the ver-
dict and asked for new trial. His
motion was denied and he again had
an exception noted.
Justice Lambert allowed an extra
allowance of $40 day to the Jurors.
They have served fifty-one days and
each will receive $50 instead of
$102. For the whole jury the cost
will be $6120 Justice Lambert

BANDITS STEAL RICH GIRL
Used Her as Shield Against
Bullets of SherifTs Posse.
Eighteen-Ycar-Old Daughter or Call
fornia Ranchman Carried on to
BE Held For $4,000 Ransom.

Fresno, Cal. - After a desperate
rifle battle between a rescuing party
and Cleveland Rodgers, one of her
abductors, pretty eighteen-vear-old
Edna Domengine was rescued from
the kidnapers who captured her at
the home of her father. Adolph Do
mengine, well-to-do oil land owner
and stockman, who lives in an iso-
lated section of Fresno County. Tony
Loveall, the other bandit who Joined
in the midnight raid, left Rodgers
and the girl earlier in the day and SO
far has escaped his pursuers. After
the battle between Rodgers and his
pursuers. which took place at lonely
and dilapidated cabin near Jack S
Springs, the desperate surrendered
and was taken to jail at Coalinga.
There was a good deal of lynching
talk after he had been locked up.
Rodgers surrendered to his pursu-
ers only after the magazine of his
rife had been exhausted in a vain en-
deavor to shoot down members of the
posse which had tracked him. He
used the girl for shield when the
fusillade from his pursuers began,
and this action saved him from being
wounded. The men in the posse were
compelled to shoot wide to avoid in
juring the girl.
When rescued the girl was clothed
in her night dress and her shoulders
and arms were covered with mans
coat, which Rodgers had picked up
~ IN, har
head there was sombrero. Her feet
were bare. She had been forced to
walk for miles at the side of her
captor's horse, and when the pursuit
came hot Rodgers placed her on the
horse in front of him.
The chase after the girl and her
abductor was Ion. The posse started
from Coalinga in the morning. Do
mengine had ridden into the town,
reused several of his friends and told
them of the events of the preceding
night. Two masked men, he said,
had ridden up to his home and fired
his ban. Holding off the rest of the
famil with rifles, they drove away
with daughter Edna in his own
bugg louting that the girl would
be l ed safe on the following
event. &. Jacks Springs in Waltham

ton of simple hazard and simple
hazard has never been prohibited by
law in this State.
Section 351 (the new law mere
ly prohibits the receiving, recording
or forwarding of the subject of a
wager before, not after, it is won or
lost.
Justice Bischoff discharged Melville
Collins, the bookmaker who was the
subject of the test case. He declared
that Collins did not commit crime
when he made an "oral bet" of IS
with Police Captain Rail and then
accepted Rahls money when the lat
ter lost.
Acting District Attorney Elder, of
Kings, who prosecuted Collins, said
after reading the decision:
with all due respect to Justice
Bischoff, my opinion as to what is q
crime under the new law has not
changed one iota. ! will carry the
fight to the Court of Appeals. l be-
lieve that court will uphold the new
law"
News of the decision was heard
with keen satisfaction by the bettors
at Sheepshead Bay, but there was no
noisy outbreak of joy. One reason
was that the extent of the ruling was
not clearly understood at the race
track. Another reason was that the
bettors were doing very nicely with
out the decision. since for several
weeks they have been able to get
down all the bets they wanted.
The vital sentence of Justice
Bischoff's decision was this:
II cannot hold that Section No.
351 fairly imports that a bet or the
receipt of the thing wagered is a
crime"
George Wheelock, for many years
the ruling spirit in the Metropolitan
Turf Association and a bookmaker
of prominence, but turf speculator
since his quarrel with August Bel
mont three years ago, said:
THE decision will give the same
license to the poolroom keeper as the
man who receives oral wagers at the
track. 1t will tend to open poolrooms
in every section of the city. | suppose
that it will involve a struggle be-
tween the race tracks and the pool
rooms again"

VERBAL Bet NOT ILLEGAL
Justice Bischoff Gives Black Eye
to Hughes Racetrack Law.
Does Not Make Individual Wagers o
Crime, Nor Stop Payment of
Money by a Loser.

New York City.-In the case or the
State against Melville Collins, JUS
tice Bischoff, sitting in the New York
County Supreme Court, decided that
Collins had not committed any crime
in accepting money on a bet at the
Sheepshead Bay racetrack two weeks
ago. Justice Bischoff holds that no
State Legislature, so far as any rec
ords show, ever had in mind the idea
of Furnishing an individual for bet
ting with another where the wager
was not professionally recorded or
registered. Bischoff holds that the
Penal Code provides no penalty for
bet between one individual and an
other unless gambling implements are
in use.
This Supreme Court Justice. before
whom was pending the case brought
for the purpose of defining Governor
Hughes new Anti-Gambling law, rem
dered a decision to this effect:
"A bet on a horse race, when not
recorded, is legal.
individuals a bookmaker and
bettor, possibly may offer and re-
ceive from one another money wag-
cred on horse races, providing that
no written memoranda be made Of
