AN ENGINEERING TEST.

The civil engineer who has excit- ed more or less hippant comment by stating that the roasting of birds on a bridge is good test of the secur, ity of the structure ventures 10 re- peat his proposition, and he quotes such distinguished naturalists as Darwin and Audubon in support of his contention. Elephants cannot be driven over weak viaduct, bur ros refuse to take a dangerous trail and rats are the first to desert g leaking ship. "Call it all an absurd superstition if you will" says the engineer, "the fact remains that some things have their influence or poor, frail humanity that cannot be supported by logarithmic computa' tion. ."-Boston Herald.

TEXAS FEVER AND THE TICK

A Disease That Southern Stockmen Can and Should Eradicate-By L. L. Lewis, M. S., D. V. M.,

It is no easy matter to convince the southern cattleman who has seer the fever tick on his cattle all of his life, and who may have actually lost but few if any cattle with the disease, that the tick is the cause Of any trouble whatever That the tick may be injurious to cattle in other ways than by actually killing them has not suggested itself to many southern cat tlemen. While it is true that southern cattle infested with the cattle tick are immune to acute attacks of Texas fever, it is also true that this immuni- ty has been obtained at great cost in growth and development. In rid ding the state of the fever tick It is necessary to have the cooperation of every farmer and stockman in the infested area, and this will be much easier obtained and more willingly given if the true situation is thorough ly understood.

 Of fever uek' other kinds found on cattle as it is to tell the difference between some of the harmless kinds. for example to tell the net tick and the dog tick apart. In order to aid the stock owner in determining whether a given tick Is fever tick or not the following figures showing dor sal and ventral views of different kinds also enlarged views of heads of some of the cattle ticks. By eX- amining a mature female 1t is com paratiyely easy to determine whether the specimen is fever tick or not.
 Much confusion has existed in the mind of many stockmen as to the re lation of the fever tick to Texas fever on account of their inability to recog- nize the difference between the fever tick and other species that are found on cattle.
 There is one characteristic of the fever tick that will enable any one to recognize it and especially if they

THE pARDoNING POWER.

THE PARDONING POWER.
 No function of any branch of the state government has been so flag rantly abused as has the pardonlng power of the chief executive of Arkansas during the past eight years.
 The power of the governor to grant pardons, while unlimited in it's constitutional scope, was intend ed to prevent grave encroachments of the judiciary upon the liberties of the people. It was granted to the governor by the people through their state constitution simply as one of the many checks and balances to preserve the integri- ty and independence of the three great arms of government-execu- tive, judicial and legislative. The only other cases in which the power should be invoked are those rare instances where the law has technically been violated and conviction is inevitable, yet there is no real guilt upon the part Of the defendant. With everything in his favor-the right of counsel, of trial by jury, of pre- emptory challenges for jurors, of appeal with the burden of proof upon the state-there is scarcely chance that an innocent man may be con- victed. It is possible, yet such cases probably would not occur more than twice or three times dur ing a governors term. This, in- deed, is the greatest extent to which the pardoning power is exercised by the governors of many states.
 Yet during the terms of Govern ors Davis and Pindall thousands of pardons have been granted. In probably not more thar one in hundred of these cases was there any such grave miscarriage of jus tice as to make 1t necessary for the executive to interfere with the de- cree of the courts. The other ninety y-nine per cent of the pardons were doubtless prompted either by foolish sentiment of sympathy for the law breaker or by other motives infinitely worse.
 An instance of the effect of wholesale pardoning is seen il an article recently published in the Fayetteville Sentinel. The facts themselves as here recited argue so strongly against the abuse of the pardon that we reproduce the article in full At the same time it will furnish a reason for congrat- ulation that the state nov has a governor who has already given every evidence that this great pow CT will not be wrongfully used in his hands. The article follows;

1OllOWS.
 During the three years that l have been prosecuting attorney oi this, the fourth judicial district, eight men out of nine indicted and prosecuted for homicide have been convicted, five for manslaughter and three for murder in the second degree. These convictions have been secured after eleven trials at enormous expense to the tax pay CTS of this district. Each of these men were convicted by a jury of twelve men selected to hear the case and determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant. In each case the defendant was ably represented by counsel and given a fair and impartial trial. In no case was the supreme court called upon to correct any error committed by the circuit court. In number of cases an appeal was prayed for and granted but not perfected, evil dently only taken to secure time to procure pardon. Of the eight convicted as stated above, six have already been pardoned. Threet now applies for pardon, and Hugh Daughtery of Washing ton county is the only man paying the penalty of the law as provided by law for the crime committed.
 " I submit that 1t would not be so bad if these men were only sent back to there homes and families to be better men and lead better lives, but the effect is more far reaching. In the Eastern district of Carroll county for example, where three men have been par doned and four men killed, three more men now stand charged with killing of another, and two men for an assault with intent to rape. In Washington county three men have been pardoned, four killed, and two more men stand charged with murder and an assault with intent to kill and murder and two have been killed.
 The extension of executive clemency in this district has no doubt caused marked increase in the commission of homicides.
 When Charley Buck of Washington county returned to his home after being pardoned, I am informed that he passed by the home of John D. Holt, who is now charged with the murder of ]. w. Murry. Charley Buck was charged and convicted of the murder of Arthur Parker by lying in wait and shooting Parker from ambush. John D. Holt is charg- ed with murder by lying in wait and shooting Murry from ambush. In twenty minutes after Holt was arrested by s. l.. Todhunter, dep- uty sheriff of Washington county, and informed that there was a pretty hard case against him, re- marked that Charley Buck lay in ambush and killed his man and the jury only gave him five years and that the governor pardoned him out within five months, and that he was not alarmed, that a pardon could be secured. Buck on his return home found a bun dle of switches and a note telling ing him to quit the country and l understand that he is gone. If there is anything in the sign oi the time think you ought to con slider we'll before you extend any further executive clemency.
 I beg leave to state further that within ten minutes after the jury had returned a verdict of guilty against Threet it was cur

In the fever tick the first pair of legs come out on the body well back from the head. while in all of the others the filst pair of legs come out very close to the head By noting this difference with reference to the relative position of the first pair of legs to the head one can soon become reasonably sure whether a given specimen is a fever tick or not.
