UNWRITTEN LAWS

the presence Of his men.
The law OF the right Of revolution has been
much talked about and much written about. Every
intelligent citizen 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 it's place. Just prior to
and during the Civil war there was much discus.
sion In this country by learned men on either
side OF the right of revolution and the higher
power and the greater law"
The law j~ustifying one person in the killing OF
another has required the serious consideration Of
every country. Every criminal code provides GER
tain punishments for homicide, and many of them
graduate the punishment with minute particular
ity, according to the circumstances of the killing,
so that any one of six crimes may be involved In
a single tragedy. Such codes also attempt to de-
fine what killing is justifable and what is ex-
cusable and with their Interpretation by the
courts attempt to describe the only conditions un.

There Is a class of unwritten law which does

and Comment. because II approaches so near the
danger line that man dare not recognize 1t to the
extent OF publishing it and declaring 1t as a part
of the positive law.
1t is the unwritten law OF the sea that a cap

write II into the contract, and nations dare not
incorporate 1t in their navy or marine regulations,
yet the tyrants of the sea know the law, and be.
lieve that to obey 1t betters their service, and
there are few instances of its being disregarded.
It is the unwritten law Of the army and navy
that an officer shall not seek cover, or at least
shall not show apprehension of danger to his per
son, In time of battle and In the presence of en-
listed men or common sailors. In the Franco
Prlssian war nearly four thousand officers of the
German army were killed and the great majority
of them gave up their lives because they believed

that In his branch there should be an extended
code of unwritten as written law, unwritten now

The Suburban League will meet tonight
to adopt its schedule and to consider i'm
provements for its grounds. The list Of
games to be played has been prepared for
some time, but was not adopted at the
last meeting owing to the letter received
from the manager Of the Parkview team
in which it was stated that his team
would withdraw from the circuit. All

every organization will get together either
tonight or tomorrow to transact whatever
unfinished business there is. The open

The Capital City League will probably
arrive at its final decision this evening
as to just how the circuit will be con-

will continue as a six-club organization
or whether the season will be started with
but four clubs in its roster.
Just what will be done In regard to the
franchise matter Is hard to say definitely,
but 1t is almost certain that the season
will be begun with but four clubs. The
managers are determined to have no
weak teams in the league and they cannot
see where two clubs can be obtained
which would be able to hold their own
with the four now in the circuit. Prac-
