TIE FEDERAL GAME LAW.

The Springfield Republican makes
an interesting comparison between
two new federal laws as follows:
Some interesting constitutional
questions will be raised when the
Weeks-McIea federal game law
goes into effect October !. That II
will be tested in the courts may
be taken for granted. If only because
il is strongly opposed by the pro-
fessional hunters for the market

There is a difference and as Col

he could not keep from observing

The reporter slipped into the federal

cate the clerk to get the proceedings
of the day. The clerk was not at his

rose to put his vulgar self in his
shirt sleeves outside of the railing
he felt about ten feet tall and his
legs wound about very awkwardly in
removing himself The mason that
put the brick in the walls could go
in his shirt sleeves, the carpenter
who Whitfield out the railings could
wear any Old clothes in peace, the
reporter whose work IS every bit as
tiresome and none the less honor
able must slip on a coat. IL may
be a jeans coat that mother made,
with the sleeves short aud the tail
not covering much OF the anatomy,
but IL must be a coat. 1t may be
in shreds and the lining may be
torn out, but it must be something
called a court.
There is a difference between the
federal court aud the state court,
There is a difference in the source
OF power and that makes the differ
ence in the rules OF the court. Nc
sensible man would ever attempt
to rob a court of its dignity. The
man who presides over a state court
will sometimes ask a reporter in his
shirt sleeves TO occupy seat be-
side him when there is sometime
to tell him to assist him in his days
work to give the people a better
service. The state courts maintain
a dignity in keeping with the grea
profession Of law. That which gives
prestige is learning and justice. The
law has always been an honorabl,

than medicine or the ministry. Th'

Saving His Legs.
thp PHILADELPHIA Ledger

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Doctors may err, even in the stiffness
Of the sickroom. How much more, then,
are they likely to make mistakes in the
uproar of the battlefield. That this is so
is shown by the experience of the famous
Russian general Dragomiroff, who once
narrowly escaped losing both his legs He
commanded division during the Russo
Turkish war, and fell in the fighting at
the Shpka Pass, wounded in several
places. He was carried, unconscious, to
a field hospital, and came to himself just
as the doctors were about to amputate
both legs.
Dragomirof said he would rather take
his chance of dying, but they persisted.
Then he drew a revolver and swore he
would blow out the brains of the first man
who tried to use a lancet on him. He
had his way, but for over a week he
held that revolver tightly clenched in his
hand fearing that the surgeons would
yet play trick on him. At night he
made his servant stand on guard. armed
with a rifle. He recovered after few
weeks illness. and the only permanent
i'll effect was slight limp. Needless to
say, he afterward regarded the army sur
geon as one of the soldiers worst foes.

THE WETTEST STATE"
Effect of Woman Suffrage Feared by
the Liquor Interests in Montana.

From Golfers Weekly
In recent issue we published portions
Of a letter written by the Montana Pro-
tective Association tof the liquor inter-

features steam fixtures sometimes used
in barrooms. The letter was request
for funds to wage the campaign against
woman suffrage. The funds not being
Forthcoming, further more frantic APP
peal has been received from the liquor in
terests 4 reads:
Our state legislature has just closed it's
session. and our association has been
very successful in defeating many meas
aires which would have harassed the
trade in Montana 1t has been difficult
task, for Montana like all other states,
is feeling the effect of the great reform
wave which is sweeping the country. The
battle we have been fighting during the
last sixty days has depleted our treasury,
and we are not through yet. Besides
this, the great question of woman suffrage
will be submitted to the electors at an
early date. We are now preparing a
statewide campaign against woman suf-
frage in this state because the leaders
have avowed that one of the principal
rea sons why they desire women to vote
is that it will afford them the best means
of sweeping the saloon business out Of
Montana. Our local retailers are doing
all they can. but the burden is too heavy
for them to carry 1t alone, and it is only
right that those who are enjoying and
making profit from the sale Of their
goods should help us in conserving for
them their accounts and business.
Woman suffrage and reform, reform
and woman suffrage. the agents of evil
find it very hard to distinguish between
the two. They are firmly and mistaken
ly convinced that when women have the
ballot the success of the liquor interests
in defeating measures which harass the
trade in Montana will be brought to an
end what the decent Independent voter
of Montana has apparently failed to do.

but there are certain ancient evils, chief
among which is drunkenness, against
which women have fought and worked

a weapon and the first thing that women
will do with it will be to turn it against

the government had to interfere. 1t sent
the police to close the schools altogether.
The count then asked himself whether he
would stay in Hungary and look on in
differently at political and social condi-
tons which he regarded as vicious, or
whether he would do something TO regis
ter his protest. He resolved to abandon
his country and TO reside henceforth in
England or America.
This decision is. perhaps not an heroic
one, but when state. kith and kin and
even your own beneficiaries oppose you
1t is hard TO be heroic. The count fled
from Hungary, and has taken UP resi-
dence at London West End hotel, and
announces his intention to become a citi-
zen of another country. The first step
was to send to Budapest petition de-
manding liberation from the legal ties
which make him subject of Francis
Joseph of Hungary. The petition, has
been granted. 1t is the counts intention
to go to New York shortly and after a
visit to various places in America he Will
decide where he will live.
