A Bad LAW.

There is a law in some Of the states,
and we are under the impression that
Il exists in Illinois. whereby a person
can be put in Jail when a suit for
damages has been awarded against him
and be kept there a long time II
some one win pay the board OF the
prisoner while there. II the board is
rot paid the prisoner is released. There
are cases where the board has been
paid by the prosecutor who secured
the judgment against the offending
party.
A young school teacher has kept a
man in jail in Michigan a long while
by paying his board at the rate of IS
. per week to the sheriff.
We doubt the right Of any one to pay
, anybody's board when the particular
! party interested does not want that
board paid. II the man is a prisoner
of the state. the state ought to stand
I tho expenses. II the state cannot al
ford to pay for his keeping It should
have no right to keep him, and nobody
& else should be allowed TO pay his
board and keep him in Jail against his
wishes In the matter.

Shooting Up Men.

These are indeed perilous days for
mere man. Not only his liberties but
his life is in danger. He has no as
surance but that any day he may be
shot either totally or partially dead by
woman who is assured that her sex
is secure from the punishment Of the
law. Just recently the Gertrude Pat

The Foolish Bushel.

There is hardly anything so idiotic
as the indefinite measure that is used
as 'bushel"
A bushel is a measure denoting a
certain size of a package or a certain
ndmber Of cubic inches, while coal and
grain are not sold by measure, but by
weight About the only time coal is
ever sold by the bushel is when it is
put up in bushel baskets that do not
hold bushel. The idea of selling car
or wagon loads OF coal by the bushel
is absolutely ridiculous. Why a ton
of coal should be weighed on a pair of
scales and then reduced to a set of
figures and the bill made out at so
many bushels is something that hardly
anybody Is able to explain. except that
II has always been done that way. OF
course, no one Individual is responsible
for this way Of selling coal or other
stun by the bushel, but It Is about time
the idea should be abandoned and all
these commodities sold By the hundred
weight or by the ton. II would not
only save figuring. but you would know
