which the Attorney General was direct
ed to take steps ''as speedily as pos
sible' to settle the controversy. Dur
ing the long lapse OF years since the
action was ordered an endless array of
testimony has been taken and more
than 10 years ago the western boundary
line OF the state was surveyed. H. NJ
Clabaugh, at that time Attorney Gen
eral of Maryland, now justice of the
Supreme Court of the District of Column
bia. requested that Maryland Geologi-
cal Survey to take charge of the work
of surveying the western boundary
line
The purpose of the survey was the
verification of the Michler meridian
line, which started at the Fairfax Stone
and which was run in 1859 and 1860 in
accordance with joint resolution pass
ed by the legislatures of Maryland and
of Virginia and the determination and
tracing of a new meridian line, starting
at the Potomac Stone, according to Mr..
Brown, marked the westerly course of
the North Branch of the Potomac River
which in the last analysis was the point
at issue, according to the Maryland
contention, while the Fairfax Stone was
the foundation of West Virginia S Grim.
The historic Fairfax Stone was the re-
suit of long dispute between the col.
ony of Virginia and Thomas Lord Fair
fax, Baron of Cameron. In 1888 com
missioners were appointed to make
survey Of both the Potomac and Kappa
hammock, between which rivers Law the
disputed territory.
In l146 the line from the head of the
Rappahannock to the head of the North
branch Of the Potomac, as fixed by these
commissioners, was located and the
Fairfax Stone was set up at the point
determined upon by them, as the head
of the North branch of the Potomac
All this was done, however, without the
knowledge of Lord Baltimore. Indeed,
Lord Baltimore was dead before the
news of the erection of the Fairfax
Stone reached England. His successor
in 1853 Immediately protested against
the fixing by the Fairfax Stone of the
boundary lines in Virginia. because he.
himself, claimed, under the charter
from Charles l., jurisdiction to the head
of the South branch of the Potomac
River, which extends much farther to
the west than the North branch Sub
sequently the governor of Maryland APP
pointed commissioners, whose report
proved that the first fountain of the
South branch of the Potomac River was
the farthest to the west, and that me-
ridian drawn north from that source
would be many miles west of a meridian
drawn from the head of the North
branch.

The question at issue was the settle

Had Maryland won her case the decision
would have restored her portion of the

miles in width and about sc miles long.
The controversy dates from colonial
days, but the present suit was brought

the court that the butcher is as hui
name as any humane officer was or
ever will be. He-the attorney for the
defense-sometimes asked for an ac-
quittal on the plea that the humane so
ciety is sentimental that it is hurting
the defendants business, and the case
was dismissed
Where the OfRcer Failed.
There was a time when the british
man was brought into court for mis-
treating his defenseless child, but the
plea was that my father used to lick
me a dozen times a day and it did not
kill me, and I will not spare the rod,
neither There was a time when the
washerwoman was brought into court
for locking UP her baby for five or six
hours while she was doing washing for
half a dollar, but the plea was that the
husband and father has left them two
years before the baby was born, and
she was compelled to work for a liy-
ing
in all Of these cases the officer is
a failure. His intentions were good,
his motive noble, but the remedy was
wrong. And any officer who uses the
state laws and the city ordinances
alone for his tools will, every time and
all the time, be a failure. The tool
the only tool, that a successful officer
must carry in his chest all the time,
whether dealing with the man cruel to
his horse or cruel to his child or the
butcher boy; whether in dealing with
the street urchin, or the poverty strick-
en-, deserted woman, he must use only
one tool-his heart This is the secret
of the successful humane officer:
Garry your heart with you, all the
time.
In looking UP a case, no matter Of
what nature, he must, first of all, look
for the hidden cause, for that myster-
iOus something which is responsible
for the effect. The washerwoman was
right, and the officer wrong.
Ignorant OF Laws.
THE humane officer must realize the
fact that he is dealing with a class OF
people who. through causes beyond
their control, are ignorant of the laws
of nature; who are ignorant of the laws
of organized society; who are ignorant
of duty TO men. of duty to husband, of
duty 10 wife. of duty to parent, of duty
to child, aud Of duty to the lower crea-
ton. 1t is their ignorance and ignor-
ant acts that calls for the humane of
icer's interference, and it should be
their ignorance which ought to appeal
10 the humane officers heart, not the
-i-l y~F II To- G> ,i@
ordinance. And what is. then. the an
/ tidote of ignorance, if not education?
This then. should be the humane Of
fcer's calling. He should be an educa-
