the case of petty offenders, under GER
tain conditions, pending the good be-
havior of the respondent and his obedi-
ence to the rules laid down for his
guidance. In this way, rather serious
punishment on the family or dependents
of the respondent is avoided, in that
the probation, il the probationer proves
worthy, permits the respondent his Tor
herr liberty so that he can provide sup
port for those who have been accustomed
to look to him for maintenance. Often.
times, too, the suspension of sentence
during the probation period allows the
respondent to stfaighten out and avoid
the ignominy of a Jail sojourn. But, on
the other hand, there are easy chances
for imposing on magistrates who may
be inexperienced while at the same time
tender hearted to a touching appeal; and
it is probably true that probation is
frequently allowed to disreputable per.
sons, who have no intention of living
up to their promises once they pass be.

To prevent such imposition by more
thorough oversight of the probation sys-

out too literally by well-meaning, but

Premier Laurier of Canada seems to
have quoted the fussing of Johnny Bull
about Canadian annexation; at least, he
ought to have accomplished that by his
plain statement of the feeling in Canada
against joining with the United States.
Moreover, he was right in asserting that
on the States side Of the line there is
little serious consideration of annexa-
ton, although it furnishes an opportu-
nifty for orators to rise into grandiio-
quence now and then.

HONOLULU, Jan. 5 - With
many immigrants from the Far

States, a new labor element has
been noted by the federal govern

of immigration d. J. Keefe Just
arrived in Honolulu, congress may
be called upon this winter to en-
act more rigid laws, in order to
keep these out of the country. The
new element is the invasion Of
Hindus and Russians, which was
not considered alarming until
very recently.
"If these laws are not adopt

that provided by the law, and

School Board Elects
Hopping President

But the scheme put N by Heath
and Nicholson did not work.
System Won't Work.
Then they hired Engineer Carrie,
a real expert, of Seattle, to tell
what was wrong. Garlic made
plans and told just how to do it.
He would put in tile all over the
field, put cinders on Top and then
clay.
That looked good, so the board
called for bids and let the con-
tract to Engineer II. J. Fuller.
Now Fuller says Carries plans
are no good. If they tut the clay
on top the water will not get
to the tiling and it will
be useless, and he wants to cut
out the thing.
Now the board does not know
what to do and the engineers are
all at sea.

The surgeon cautiously entered
the lions cage carrying knives,
needles, antiseptics and a sack.
The scheme, which was success
fully carried out after great
struggle, was to envelop Henry's
head in a bag and tie his forefeet
to the bars of the cage. The lion
kicked and fought hard, but final
ly Henry's mouth was muzzled,
his head covered with the bag and
paws fastened to the bars of the
cage. Then the surgeon made an
incision five inches long in the
lions neck, removed the tumor,
dressed the wound, took seven
stitches and the thing was done.
Henry Hudson is doing quite
well.

Frank Lane, a helpless paralyt-
ic on a hospital cot, is the central
figure in tremendous legal
struggle waging to determine
whether or not the American
courts are hopelessly on the side
of capital in the question of en-
ployers' liability.
The case of Frank Lane con-
Germs a whole lot of folk. Every
year, according to government
statistics, 10000 men are killed in
American industrial accidents.
Every year hundreds of thousands
are more or less injured. The
MANNED myriad, the thousands
widowed or made orphans and all
who work where danger turks are
interested in this legal battle.
Lanes case is said to be a SIM
pie, clear instance of an employe
mangled because of corporate
carelessness-just the case for an
unique test of American law and
American courts.
One day last June Frank Lane,
a young miner in the employ of
the Sheridan Coal Co. of Kansas,
was clearing a track of the waste
coal that had dribbled down from
the chute of a defective loading
machine. He had to crawl I'M
derneath a loaded car to do this.
While he was thus engaged, an
While he was thus engaged, an
empty" was 'pinched" down
from the head of the switch to-
ward the loading chute. The
hand brake of this empty car was
defective, and the man riding
down upon it was unable to set
it so as to control the car.
AS a result, the empty" gain
ing great momentum, struck the
loaded car under which Lane was
working, and pushed it along the
track.
Lane was caught by some part
of the running gear of the car. His
body was bent double as the car
passed over him.
He was left with a back broken
in two places-a helpless, para
lyzed cripple, with no hope of ever
being able to walk again. He ia
but eighteen years old, but his life
is practically over.
He has an old mother in Fin
land. He had hoped to save
money enough to pay her passage
to America, so that he might have
her with him in her declining
days. Also he has a sweetheart
in Finland. He had hoped to bring
her to America, too. Now these
hopes are dead. How can a boy
with a broken back hope for any
thing?
Thus, because of a defective
chute and a defective car brake,
both of which could have been
obviated by decent inspection,
Frank Lanes life is blasted in its
beginning. On the threshold of
life he is stricken helpless. He
can still think, but that is about
all.
The Frisco railroad system,
which Is responsible for the defec-
tive brake, is capitalized at 1884,
100000. The Sheridan Coal Co.
which operates the loader that
spilled the coal that Lane was Or
dered to clear away. is capitalized
at $1,200,000. 1t owns $500
acres of coal land in Kansas and
5000 acres in Wyoming.
Friends of Frank Lane have I'M
dertaken to recover from these
concerns on his behalf $4,000.
