The Court Holds If Ordinary Methods Are Ineffective
Or Officials Disregard Their Duties the Court
Ought To Apply the Strong and
Efficient Hand of Equity and

A court of equity has jurisdiction to abate pub

of seeing that the laws enforced and the public
protected and the question to be considered by the
court particular is whether the facts stated
such call for the exercise of the jurisdiction
No of rules for the determination of that question
has been promulgated and necessarily could be
framed which would cover every case and which might
not hamper the court in exercising its power for the
protection of the health morals safety and welfare of
the public In general way it may be said that the
court might properly decline to exercise its equitable

Counsel for appellants also say that injury to
property is the foundation upon which equity uris
dction rests and that the court had jurisdiction in
this case because it does not affect the rights of prop
erty or the maintenance of property rights Neces-
sarily that rule applies only when the complainant is
an individual having property right, and no ques-
ton damage to property is involved in proceed
ings by the public to abate public nuisance. The
question simply is whether there has been invasion
of public rights irrespective of questions of pecunary
damage (Smith Mcdowell I48 Ill. SD A court
of equity has jurisdiction to abate public nuisance
although offenders not only amenabe to criminal
laws but also where property rights are involved
in the litigation.
AS wehave noted above this court has regard
ed criminal prosecution, W can only dispose OF an
existing nuisance and cannot prevent renewal OF the
nuisance for which a new prosecution must be
brought, as complete and adequate remedy tor a
wrong inflicted upon the public The public authori-
ties have right to institute the suit where the gen
eral public welfare demands it and damages to the
public are not susceptible of computation. The main
tenance of the public health morals, safety and well
fare is plane above mere pecunlary damage, al
though not susceptible of measurement in money and
to say that court of equity may not enoln public
nuisance because property rights not involved,
would be to say that the state is unable to enforce
the law protect its citizens from public wrongs
letting authorities.1 An individual may enjon a
nuisance although public in character, if he has
suffered particular injury, and in Hoyt V. McLaugh-
lin ESQ H. 442 we reversed the decree dismissing
bill praying for injunction against operating con-
Quoting and maintaining dramshop under license
illegally issued, where the complainant alleged that
he suffered an injury different from the public gen
eray from the illegal act But the attorney general
is not required to allege any injury to property
The general assembly has the power to declare
places where acts forbidden by law are committed to
be nusances and the legislative determination of that
question is final Getting authorities.l The general
assembly may declare place where liquor is sold in
violation of law nuisance, to be abated as
SUCH and at the time to provide for the indct-
ment and trial of the offender and equity jurisdiction
is not inconsistent with due process of law. (Muger
v. Kansas, I23 U. S. 623) There number of
states where Jurisdiction is expressly conferred upon
courts of equity but statute is not necessary to

Jose VaIvario, Aztec Indian, Dies at
Age of 1886 Years.

A short time ago Jose Calvario, an
Aztec Indian, died in Tuxpan, Mexico,
aged fS5 years. The editor of a Tex

the claim, wrote to a friend, an
American mining man at Colima,
Mexico, and received the following.

Il was at Tuxpan on the day Calva-
rio died. had seen the old man walk

many times, and he was often pointed
out to me as being nearly 200 years
odd. So interested were the State otfic-
ials in the report of the great age of
the man that a special commission
was appointed to investigate the
claims The records of parish church
show he was born in 1921. He left 1000
descendants. He often told his friends,
in a joking manner, that he had the
largest family of any man in the-world.
mo one knows how many times he
was married, but it is commonly re-
ported that he married his last wife
when he was past the age of $50 years,
and that they had several children.
"c,alvario was an Aztec Indian. He
observed no set of rules. He ate what
ever he liked. and, of course, his pow

s,ffnptuously. He was moderate

The Sober Second Thought.

Frederick Palmer, writing from So

says that instead of cheering crowds
IN the streets and inspiring singing OF
the national anthem. The people are
bordering the cost of the war in the
lives of the valuable workers slain, in
the destruction of property, in broken
homes and manned husbands and
sons, in the drain on resources and
financial credit, in the famine, pesti-
lenee and poverty that stalk behind
the conauering hosts, in the impaired
vitality of the nation, which it will
take at least a generation to recover
These are the things that the war
LIMOGES do not consider These are the
things that those who love s'the pomp
and circumstance of glorious war do
not take into their childish thought.
The Bulgarian people are wiser now.
They have given the flower of their
Young manhood to death, they have
poured out their blood and treasure
like water. Perhaps it was necessary.
But at its best war is frightful hide
Gus, barbarous the crime of humanity.
And as the years go by il is becoming
more and more unnecessary. There
may, indeed. be cases in which it still
seems necessary. but we may thank
God and take courage that thes are
growing fewer.
Mr. Palmer declares that instead of
exulting mildly the Bulgarians are So
berly planning to perpetuate their
achievements in just and lasting
peace. This is the best news that has
yet come from the seat of war.-Min-

What books shall man read VINO mas
hut little time for reading There are
thausands of men in business life ana Ill
the professions to whom the question Is
a very real one On the one hand theFe
is the desire to keep ones self from pc
ing completely absorbed in the aaiiy
struggle for existence The longing for
the printed word can never be quite ex-
tinguished where once the appetite, mas
heen INDUCED. The memory persists OF
those spacious realms of human thought
into which one just caught a distant
glimpse during the pleasant, idle days
nj college, and cheerfully passed BY. On
the other hand there Is the discoufaglns
reflection that such reading as one I'M
dertakes must be necessarily carried on
by fits and starts, prolonged over ridicu-
lous periods of time, and without the as
suranee that the book begun VIII ever
be finished. Under such circumstances
the proper answer would seem to be that
if the busy man of the world is to DO any
serious reading at all. he mus read
little books, or else bigger books con-
densed for the purposes of rapid con-
sumption. That this is what the pub
