the Vice President signed it and then the
committee enrolled bills sent 1t by
messenger TO the President. who approved
it with his signature. and announced to
the Senate and House that he had done
so through message In writing borne
to those bodies by one of his secretaries.
OF course, there are many variations
in the procedure of carrying measure
through Congress from the introduced bill
to the approved law. 1t happens in
many instances that the bill comes out
of the committee having it under con-
sideration without amendment. passes the
House without amendment. goes to the
Senate and Is there reported by the conf
mittee without amendment and is accept
ed In it's original form by the Senate. In
such cases no conference committees are
appointed. and the act goes to the
President in it's original shape. In other
cases the Senate originates the bill and
passes it and allows the House to fol-
low its lead. Each branch has equal au-
thor!ty In the origination of legislation
except that the Constitution gives the
House the exclusive right to originate
revenue measures.

1t is understood on high authority that
orders have been given for the construc-

he attends the Delhi durbar. and that
the value is estimated to be about S325

hand.
Whether the king will decide to wear
the Kohinoor in his crown at Delhi re
mains to be seen. /.
All India knows the legend. He who
holds the kohinoor holds India Since
the annexation of the Puniaub the Kohl
moor has been one OF the chief jewels of
the English crown. but Queen Victoria
never visited India. and King Edwards
coronation durbar was held by Lord Cur

Kohinoor on the head of an English en-
peror.

After two months lay-olf with his

railroad company offered Malone
$4,000 in cash or a life job at some

propositions were obligatory on the

in this case did not meet with the
accident in his regular line of duty.
Malone was also a married man,

TO BUILD AERIAL FIGHTERS

LONDON, November Sir Hiram
Maxim who has just resigned from
the directorate of Vickers Sons &
Maxim, proposes henceforth to devote
his energies to the development of
military aeroplanes, which, he says,
all governments will need during the
next few years.
Sir Hiram is to collaborate with
Claude GrahaIne White in the produc-
ton of an aeropplane which he be-
lieves will answer all the require
ments of the British war office Bile
riot, the French manufacturer of aero.
planes, may become associated with
Sir Hiram and Grahame White and a
new company will ultimately be
formed to manufacture military aero
planes.
The armament OF the machines will
be left TO Maxim, who is now turning
his attention to the production of an

STUDY IN CONTRASTS.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, November l.
Twenty years ago John Anneson, a
brakeman on a Wisconsin railroad,
met with an accident near Waukesha,
in which his right arm was severed
just above the elbow, Having been
a trusted employe for several years,
the officers in authority took immedi-
ate action and proposed paying An,
ueson $4,000 in cash, or giving him
an easy job for life
Being a married man, Anneson nat
urally thought Of wife and three little
ones, not overlooking a desire TO start
in the saloon business. Two thousand
dollars he estimated would start him
off in fine shape, leaving 5000 10
speculate with on the side"
Today Anneson, owing TO dissipa-
ton, does not own enough property
to be considered worth classifying by
the assessor.
In marked contrast with Anneson is
James Malone, an old-time brakeman
on a Connecticut road. Nineteen years
ago, while his train was awaiting or
ders on siding not far out of New
Britain, Malone became interested in
watching "a gang of laborers unload
steel rails from fiat car nearby.
Reasoning with the men that he
could show them how to save time
and labor, Malone was finally invited
to come over and show u.s." as they
expressed it, Two OF these steel rails
were used for skids on which TO slide
down the rails.
In making a practical demonstration
OF his method, Malone, with the as
sistance of five laborers, three at
each end, carrying the first rail from
the car, missed his footing and stun.

the killing of another has required the
serious consideration of every coun-
try. Every criminal code provides
certain punishments for homicide, and
many of them graduate the punish
ment with minute particularly, ac-
cording to the circumstances of the
killing, so that any one of six crimes
may be involved in single tragedy.
Such codes also attempt to define
what killing is iustifable and what is
eXcusable and with their interpreta-
ton by the courts attempt to de-
scribe the only conditions under
which one human being can kill an
other,
The Hebrew code almost stands
alone in it's recognition of mans de-
sire to kill and his right to have that
desire and that climax of all satisfac-
.tions which comes to him who under
great provocation Stays another. 1t is
not at all strange that in his branch
there should be an extended code OF
unwrtten as written law, unwritten
now and always TO be unwritten for
the reason that the recognition given
by its embodiment in the status would
be taken as a license by dishonest
men and would result in harm rather
than good.
1t is an unwritten law among the
officers of the army that If a subordi-
nate officer kills a superior officer
because that officer has publicly de.
graded him by striking him or by
other action equally humiliating then
the court-martial will not convic-.
During the civil war at Louisville,

There is a class of unwritten law
which does not and cannot become
written law, says Case and Comment,
because it approaches so near the
danger line that man dare not recog-
nize it to the extent of publishing it
and declaring it as part of the posi-
tive law.
1t is the unWritten law of the sea
that a captain must go down with his
ship. Men dare not write it into the
contract, and nations dare not incor-
porate it in their navy or marine
regulations, yet the tyrants of the sea
know the law, and believe that to
obey it betters their service, and there
are few instances of its being disre.
garded.
1t is the unwritten law OF the army
and navy that an officer shall not seek
cover, or at least shall not show ap-
lprehension of danger to his person, in
time of battle and in the presence OF
enlisted men or common sailors. In
J the Franco-Prussian war nearly four
, thousand officers of the German army
we're killed and the great majority o.
| them gave up their lives because they
believed in this law of conduct.
In obedience to this law Farragut
bound himself to the mast, Lee rode
to the head of his charging column at
the bloody angle, and Lawton walked
coolly in front of the line and was
shot in the presence of his men.
The law of the right of revolution
has been much talked about and much
written about. Every intelligent citi,
zen believes that he has the right
under certain conditions to oppose the
established government of his own
land and Join in an effort to establish
another in its place. Just prior to
and during the civil war there was
much discussion in this country by
/ learned men on either side of the right
, of revolution and the higher power
and the greater law"
