Animal Picture at Bog.

One Of the biggest animal pictures
Of the year and one which, pleases any
kind Of an audience Is "Kings Of the
Forest" by the Selig company. now be-
ing shown at the New Boz. A
picture Of this kind with the name
Selig attached already has one good
recommendation by being produced by
a company experienced in that line of
picture making. James g. McQuade,
the noted critic, says of these pictures:
1.-The novelty of such subjects makes a

Santschi are both good in their lead
ing roles and special mention must be
made of Baby" Lillian Wade for the
naturalness and fearlessness with
which she played her part. The anil
mails in the picture showed their nat
ural instincts so wildly as to make
the people in the audience shudder and
hold their breath. "Pathe's Weekly"
and an Uncle Nun picture by Edison
make up the balance of the excellent
bill.

CONTEMPT CASE
DECISION GIVEN
Justice Ailshie Dissents
From Decision of Ma
jority of Court.

The supreme court handed down a
Justice Isaac N. Sullivan. in which the
court denies the writ of prohibition
applied for to restrain Judge J. NJ.
Stevens of the Sixth judicial district
court from proceeding further In con-
tempt proceedings in the case of w. A.
Lee ct al versus Charles +. Lee. The
case was appealed from the lower
court for Bingham county. Chief JUS
tice Stewart concurs In the opinion.
Justice Ailshie dissents. The litigation
arose over the appropriation Of certain
personal property after the appoint
ment Of receiver by the court.
Intent of Legislature.
In his opinion Justice Sullivan says
in part:
1T is first commended that, under
the provisions of section 1881, revised
codes, receiver cannot be appoint ed
ex parte unless the judge or court re-
,quires from the applicant an UNDER
taking with sufficient sureties to the
effect that the applicant will pay to the
defendant all damages he may sustain
by reason Of the appointment of such

"'No party or attorney, or person
interested in an action can be ap-
pointed receiver therein, without the
written consent Of the parties filed
with the clerk. II a receiver be ap-
pointed upon ex parte application, the
court, before making the order. may
require from the applicant an under
taking, with sufficient sureties. in an
amount to be efixed by the court to
the effect that the applicant will pay
to the defendant all damages he may
sustain by reason Of the appointment
of such receiver and the entry BY
him upon his duties, in case the APP
plicant shall have procured such ap-
pointment wrongfully, maliciously, or
without sufficient cause; and the court
may, in it's discretion, at any time
after said appointment, require an
additional undertaking.
1T will be observed from the pro-
visions Of this section that the court,

undertaking should be required from
the applicant or petitioner for re-
ceiver. and under the facts alleged in
the complaint, we do not think the
court abused its discretion in not re-
curing an undertaking from the ap-
plicant or plaintiff in that action.
1.-THE alternative writ must be
auashed and this proceeding dismissed,
and 1t Is SO ordered"
Reasons for Dissenting.
In his dissenting opinion Justice
Ailshie says in part: 'It does not seem
to me reasonable to suppose that the
legislature ever intended to authorize
court to appoint a receiver to take
charge Of another mans property with
out giving him any notice or any op-
portunity to be hearG- end to do so
without requiring the party applying
for such an order to give some Sc.
curity for the protection Of the alb
sent party whose property Is to be
taken from him without any hearing
wha tever.
1T seems to me that section 1881
is intended to be mandatory upon any
parte, In requiring an undertaking for
the protection Of the person whose
property is being taken without a
hearing. The rule is very generally
recognized by courts that the word
may in statutes is used in the man.
datory sense wherever 1t involves the
rights of the public or third persons
In other words, where 1t involves or
affects parties not before the court
and who are not given a hearing, the
word is generally construed by courts
and so understood by lawmakers as
having mandatory significance rather
than a permissive or discretionary i'm
port
"Our statute itself is significant in
the different aspects in which 1t uses
the word may in the same sentence Of
section 1881. In the first place, 1t
says: If receiver be appointed upon
an ex parte application. the court, be-
fore making an order, may require
from the applicant an undertaking.
etc, and in the latter part Of the SEN
tence is found the following language:
and the court may, in its discretion,
at ally time after said appointment,
Now, II the word may was not
used in the mandatory sense in the
first part Of the sentence. why should
the lawmakers have added the words,
in its discretion following the word
may in the latter part OF the SEN
tence?
IAN analysis OF this sentence con-
vinces me that the lawmakers thought
the court would have no discretion
about requiring a bond upon the ap-
pointment of receiver ex parte, but
rather that 1t would De mandatory
upon him.
"on the other hand. they thought to
leave II in the discretion OF the court
as to whether he would require an adj
ditional bond at any time after the
appointment of the receiver"

ABoUT our NEIGHBoR.

A motion to transfer Dickin-
son county from the Fifth con-
erosion district to the First -,
congressional district would
have the support of all concern
ed.-Clay Center Times.
This burst of earnestness on the
part of our polite and good natured
neighbor on the north is hard to
understand. Why should Clay wish
to have the S51 square miles of rich
Dickinson soil with it's $4,000 proas
porous people transferred to the east
end of the state? Is it jealous? Does
1t dislike us? Is it not more likely
that 1t simply is not acquainted with
its neighb0rs?
The editor of the Times is hereby
invited to make pilgrimage to
Dickinson and see for himself. He
would find some of the handsomest
farms in Kansas. some of the busiest
cleanest little towns of the west. In
Abilene he would see a mile of paw
ing with three miles more under
way. He would see business houses
as up to date and extensive as he
would find in towns twice the size
anywhere.
Possibly it is politics that worries
him. To be sure Dickinson is lit
tie inclined to act without the adj
vice of outsiders. 1t has an old
fashioned idea that the home people
should run home affairs. 1t con-
ducts its contests in a good-natured
way and when the preliminaries are
settled the Republicans join hands
and elect their ticket. Every county
officer but two are Republican,
has Clay a better record?
Dickinson does not wish to be
banished from the inspiring nearby
presence of Clay. 1t knows the Clay
county folks and they are mighty
good people, bright, clever and tip
top hustlers. 1t wants to stay with
them and feels badly that its neigh
Dor desires to kick Dickinson off
the central Kansas map. We hope
the Times man will accept our in
vitation. He will be given plenty
to eat and Sand Springs water (our
only beverage) to drink and will be
given ride in one of the county's
500 automobiles. He may feel
little nervous at first on account of
the activity on Abilene's streets COM
pared with his accustomed quiet but
we'll take care of him. Then he will
go home, recall his judicial decision
and apologize.

An amusing result OF the Socialistic
victory in Milwaukee q year or two
ago is the passage by the Wisconsin
legislature OF a bill forbiddIng the
use of party names and emblems on
municipal ballots. This reform has
long been dream OF municipal re-
formers, but a dream they had little
hope would come true in their own
generation. No secret has been
made OF the fact that the bill was
aimed at the Socialists-in fact the
bitter opposition OF the latter has
made the situation clear as MONDAY.
It Is an open secret that. but for
this, the politicians of Wisconsin
would have fought the bill tooth and
nail. Given a piece of legislation,
however, 1t is not worth while to
inquire into the motives OF the poll
ticians responsible for 1t. Meantime
the old parties may find food for
reflection in the fact that the So
triumph in Milwaukee was
brought about by partisan corrup-
ton, and they can beat the Socialists
to FRAGILE whenever they unite upon
honest and decent policies.
