or association necessarily has involv-
ed in such a case property interests
or civil rights, which the decision of
the court vitality affects one way or
the other
The Vermont experience proves
that when the legislature attempted
to reverse specific judicial decisions
the effect was distinctly bad upon liti-
gants and upon the entire administra-
ton of justice. Have the legislature
power to vacate or annul an existing
judgment between party and party?"
asAed the court in the case of Bates
against Kimball. The question should
also be asked: Have the people the
power, or should they have the pow
err, to vacate or annul an existing judg
ment between party and party? 1t is
fantastic, in fact, to ignore the par
ties" the actual litigants. But Mr..
Roosevelt did just that in his Column
bus speech, saying: The popular YER
dict is to be accepted as final, the de
cision Is to be treated as reversed. "
What was before a decision in favor
Of John Doe now, by a majority Of the
votes cast, becomes a decision in ia
vor of Richard Lee.
Sooner or later the Does and the
Roes would say: why go to the
courts with our differences? The law
yers tell us a constitutional question
is involved Let us save money and
time and appeal to the people, in their
wisdom, to settle this case right
away."-Springfeld Republican.

PITCHING STARS NEGLECTED
Alexander, O'Toole and o'Brien Once
Sold for $3.50

Grover Cleveland Alexander,
(Buck) O'Brien and Marty" O'Toole,
were the pitching sensations of 1911,
Two of these "phenoms" are in the
National and one is in the American
league. The Phillies own Alexander
the Boston Red Sox own O'Brien and
the much-advertised Mr. O'Toole be
longs to little Barney Dreyfuss in
Pittsburg. Now, what would bic
league owner give for the three? A
baseball man was asked. His reply
was: "One hundred thousand cash.
Not long ago these three pitchers be
longed to one club The club sold
them all, and the total sum received
for the trio was $3.50. The difference
that just a few seasons make is 500,
$50, which is pretty fair rate of in
crease IN valuation. The case Of
these three pitchers shows how
scouts can 90 wrong in their judgment
and how the best of judges often e

THE HEDGEHOG INDUSTRY
Town Of Waterbury Pays $S,576 In
6ountles In Months.

Waterbury, Feb. 29.-The annual
report for the town of Waterbury
shows that since June Is, 1911 there
has been paid from the town treasury
the sum of sS,576 in hedgehog boun-
ties. The bounty is 80 cents each, of
which the town treasurer takes five
cents. This makes the total number
of hedgehogs killed nearly 10000 or
at the rate of 30 a day. At the present
rate the total paid out at the end of
the fiscal year June Is will be over
So, 900 for over $1,000 hedgehogs.
1t is supposed all these hedgehogs
were killed within this town, as the
law directs that the heads of the
hedgehogs be taken to the town treas
urer of the town where they are kill.
ed The treasurer is required to cut
off the ears. The claimant of the
bounty is required to dispose of the
head
Waterbury is town with many
mountains and is probably more fay
orable to the propagation OF hedge
hogs than many other towns, but il
all of the 246 towns in the State paid
the same proportionate sums fol
bounties the State treasury would be
sadly depleted before the end of the
year.
1t is said two trappers have receiy
ed over half the total amount paid IN
bounties in Waterbury. They have
maintained lines of traps and as it is
not necessary to wait for cold wealth
err, as in the case of fur trapping
they have been doing land office
business every month.
The cutting off of the ears makes
repeating practically impossible. 1t
is generally believed Waterbury has
paid bounties on many animals trap
ped in Duxbury, Stowe and Middlesex
towns bordering this town with the
town lines running along the noun
tains Camels Hump, in Waterbury
/ is overrun with hedgehogs and 1t Is
/ believed many of those turned IL
here were trapped in that section.
Middlesex reports less than 10C
hedgehogs killed and Duxbury less
than 400, indicating that surrounding
towns are not as prolific in hedge
hogs as is Waterbury.

Virginia Ho, n Chnnce Here.

According to table of figures I
take from the Hartford Times. the
cost OF living has advanced nearly 10
per cent. in n year. and IT was sup
posed to be out OF sight twelve months
ago. The burden is on the city and
town people, who have to buy every
thing they, their servants. their horses
and the strangers within the gates
consume. The country people who
grow these things are no so much af-
fccted. There may be u little solace
for the town folks In the fact that the
increase over the figures of 1907 is
only 81 per cent. on tho other hand.
the increase over 1905 Is nearly II per
cent. Higher wages have had a good
deal to do with this large advance in
seven years. but larger element Is
the fact that the farms OF the coun-
try are not producing enough food for
the people. The record price of s33
per ton for hay this year is q single
item on this side of tho account.
The Virginia farmer with brains
enough to go in the house when it
rains can see the suggestion in the
above facts Think of hay at $40 and
more per ton. and other good things
