An Unwritten Law Judge.

IL Will NC ISCdllSU NY IIIS tIlOU-
sands who followed closely the
details of the recent trial of Coop
ers, over at Nashville, for the
murder of Editor Carmack, that
one of the three learned counsel
for the defense made a most
startling argument. The learned
counsel was H. M. Meeks, and
he pleaded the application of the
unwritten law where editors crit
icized individuals. He asserted,
and at length, and with all the
vigor at his command instead
that the individual thus criticized
or abused had the right to be-
come judge. jury and execution
er, and should not be disturbed
by any written statue after TAX
ing the life Of the editor. 1t was
the first time, so far as we know,
that this unwritten law was ever
seriously advocated in any court
house in this or any other land.
For the first time a lawyer thus
boldly stood before a court and
proclaimed himself in favor of
discharge of the accused because
of an unwritten right to pass SEN
tence of death and themselves
perform execution. 1t is but
fair to the country to state that
the plea Of Gen. Meeks was de-
rided and condemned from one
end of the land to the other. 1t
was by practically unanimous
consensus of opinion decreed to
be barbarous, bloody and cruel.
The daring proposition could not
be further urged by it's authors
associate counsel for the defense.
One of these, Judge Anderson,
attempted to withdraw it, or nit
igate it's effect by a soften inter-
probation. It shocked at the
same time that it startled. The
Judge o f the court would have
none of it. The jury rendered a
verdict which showed no sympa-
thy with the plea.
Why have we required to this
incident in the Cooper trial?

Alfalfa Pasture for Hogs.

One of the most extensive and
successful swine-raisers in Kan
sas tells the author this; Tween
ty-fve years of pasturing hogs of
all ages on alfalfa has proven
conclusively to me that a fourth
to a half grain ration, while they
are on such pasture, will produce
greater growth per day than
when in dry lots on full feeds of
corn. Hogs will maintain rea-
sonable growth, but not fatten
much, on alfalfa pasture alone; |
believe it profitable to feed them
some grain while running on
green alfalfa. If it is desired to
full-feed hogs, they will make a
rapid fattening growth from In
creasing the grain ration while
on pasture, and with the full
grain ration the meat will be
nearly as firm as that of hogs
kept in a dry lot, where grain
alone has been fed. / find no
distinction o. the market be-
tween alfalfa-fed swine and those
purely granted, and they sell
price and price alike. The gen.
eral health of the alfalfa-fed
hogs is equal to that of those
maintained on any other feed,
and they are prolific. y From

is evidently split wide open by
the measure and if the House
agrees to it in anything like it's
present form the Republicans
pledges in the campaign will be

HE WAS LAZY, SO THE
JUDGE sent HIM TO PEN

Devils Lake, Dec. 10.-Isaac Kujal-

of assault with a dangerous weapon.

The demand for cattle of this kind
Is greater than the supply, and as in
all other cases where the demand is
greater than the supply the price re-
ceived on sale must constantly in
crease. That this is true of the steer
business, one can easily ascertain
through conversation with any one of
the western stockmen who make this
a business. They will tell you that
they have made more money in the
last two or three years in handling
steers than they made in ten years
lin handling strictly stock cattle.

ANETA Child TORTURE
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Devils Lake Journal: Some Aneta
, citizens, probably prompted by de-
sire to restore the good name of the
town, are trying to create the impress
sion that Kenneth McKenzie's death
was the result Of an accident. How
ever worthy their motive, their pro-
cedure is wrong. They are discred-
iting the dying statement Of the boy
and traducing the memory of the lit
tie martyr. They are adding to the
anguish of his bereaved parents,
brothers and sisters. They are rem
dering the arrest and conviction of
the brutal fiends who poured kero-
sene on the child's clothing and set
it on fire, more and more improb-
able. They are adding to the enor-
nifty Of the crime and defeating the
ends of justice.
Their course has forced the father
of the murdered boy to write an ar
ticle which was published last week
in the Panorama.
In this article Mr.. Mckenzie says:
"Those of us who knew the
boy best, knew his character and
his habits, heard his statements
dying bed. heard all the testi-
mony adduced at the inquest,
knew that the dastardly deed
was committed as stated by the
boy and as was later attested by
the jury at the coroner's inquest.
In the name of justice and hui
mainly, I ask why all this fut-
lie attempt is made to degrade
the memory of noble life, cut
short at the hands of two vii
famous towards? Can such at
tempts to degrade lessen the sor-
rows of a heart broken mother
or better the conditions of society
in this neighborhood?"
Mr.. Mckenzie also offers reward
of $500 for information that will
lead to the arrest and conviction of
the criminals.
It is unfortunate that any move
ment, however well intended, should
make it necessary for the father to
issue such a statement. In his con-
tention he will have the sympathy

WESTERN BEEF finds
good EASTERN MARKET

Western beef is coming into it's
own. Not over decade ago eastern
buyers purchased range-bred steers
only when they were unable to fill
their feed pens from other sources,
and usually offered much lower
price for this class of stock than they
were willing to pay for that secured
from other places. :, -. r.,I
Experience has taught these buyers
however, that western range-bred
steers are usually in the very best
of health. They have splendid
frame upon which to build, are we'll
muscled and boned and being accus-
toned to the rigors Of the western
climate, continue to put on flesh in
the eastern feed pens when cattle
from other sections, being fed under
identical conditions, are losing flesh
on account of the inclement weather
conditions. This western steer only
demands that he be given plenty of
good fresh water and sufficient feed
so that he may never be hungry and
he will always give a good account OF
himself and return many dollars in
profits to the feeder when he is sold
for the block in the spring.
These steers shed early under fav-
orable conditions, and when they
have reached the stockyards they
show an exterior finish that other
cattle, lacking the same health and
ruggedness, fail to show. This max
es the western steers ready sellers
on the market, and after, they have
been butchered the percentage OF the
weight of the dressed carcass over
that of other steers under the same
conditions is so perceptible as to i'm
mediately attract the attention OF
those keen, far-sighted men who
handle the yard end of the business.
The settlement of the west is rap
, idly reducing the amount OF avail
able range and Is forcing the cattle
to 20 higher and higher into the hills
in search Of forage. This Is greatly
increasing the Importance OF freely
utilizing the ranges within the ma
tional forests, and every endeavor Is
being made by the forest service to
open hitherto Inaccessible ranges by

velopment of water. In these higher
elevations the grass is usually much
finer in quality and more nutritious,
while the climate is much more rig
orous; both of which conditions re-
suit in the animals being in better
health and having more solid flesh
when placed on the feeder markets
in the fall. This fall has seen large
numbers Of the range-bred steers,
most of which come from ranges
within national forests, topping the
feeder markets at all points where
feeder steers are sold.
So great has become the demand
for cattle of the quality mentioned
that hundreds of stockmen through
out the west are selling their bunch
es of stock cattle and are beginning
to handle steers exclusively. On the
old ranges. where 9 few years ago
one was accustomed to see large
herds of cows and calves, you will
find today equally large punches
made up entirely of steers, some of
which may perhaps have come from
Old Mexico, some from Texas, while
Arizona and New Mexico usually fur
nish their quota. These steers are
brought into these western ranges at
