At Ossining, New York, after a cor

driving an automobile when it bolted into
tree and killed friend at his side was
held on charge of manslaughter in the
second degree. This is evidence that the
law is bent upon the prevention of 'joy
riding" and speeding generally. Hereto

Evidence that the friction between cat
tie and sheep herders over western
ranges is still unallayed may be found in
the fact that sheep camp near Atchee.
Colorado, was raided by cattlemen, last
week, and no less than three thousand
sheep slaughtered. Incidents of this kind
will occur until the man with the hoe
discovers a method by which lands that
are not now considered fit for agriculture
may be cultivated with profit, and then
both the sheepmen and the cattlemen will
have to let go and seek smaller ranches
behind fences. The old cattle and sheep
range viii soon be thing of the past.

The policy of the present Cuban Con-
gress is said to be to spend all the money
in sight, and then rely upon a lottery
to provide more. In the last year I'M
der Gov. Magoon the Cuban revenue
from ordinary sources was $27, 100000,
while the expenses totaled $24,000,000.
The only reason apparent why Cuba
does not manage her affairs as well as
Americans manage them is that the
native Congress is embarrassed by the
demands of native Cuban politicians of
the staggering type, who feel that the
state owes them living and who man
age by hook or by crook to fasten their
tentacles upon the treasury. The great
est menace to the Cuban republic is this
class of Cubans.

that the Mexican college win insist upon
