The old probate law provides that
to appoint a guardian to take charge
of the business affairs Of any one
charged with lunacy the person must
be tried before a jury selected as
other iurymen. The 33rd Legislature
passed law providing that persons
charged with lunacy shall be tried be
fore a jury of physicians. The con
tention now is that the old law was
not repealed and that a lunatic with
estate must be tried by two iuries
and those with no estate by one. This
law Is apt to be held in conflict with
the constitution.

MIDDLE NAMES.
In England at One Time People Were
HANGED For Having Thorn.

In England Ut Ono Time People Were
Hanged For Having Thorn.
People have not always been allowed
the pleasure of having as many names
as they wish. Indeed, 400 years ago
not even a middle name was allowed
In England. 1t was illegal. The old
English law was definite and admitted
Of no infraction of its ruling.
The only exception made to this iron
clad regulation was in the case of per-
sons Of royal rank. II they really
wished it they could boast a middle
name. but woe to the person Of ordi-
nary rank who was sufficiently unwise
or obstinate to insist on having more
than two appellations.
For the first offense he would very
likely be tied to a whipping post and
severely dashed. For a second offense
he would endure some more lasting
punishment. perhaps the removal Of
his thumbs or bis ears. And il he still
persisted in his stubborness he would
he hanged.
There is q case on record Of a poor
man. in ali probability half demented.
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature to
any paper. Ofcourse he passed through
all the legal stages Of punishment until
he was finally hanged.-Chicago Trib-
une, 10. -' q .

Consumers Of gas are usually SO un.

which the gas is drawn when the gas
is lighted.

$4,000 a year. TO repair the meters

! the commissioner. Why a %pedagoguc
for a question part civil, part mill
tary, and somewhat political?
The man for the mission is Mr..
/ Bryan, as The Star some time ago
suggested. He is the author OF the
democratic proposition as to Philip
pine independence. His advocacy OF
taking over the islands-not popular
in democratic circles at the time
was based upon his contention that
full American con;ro. was necessary
to the proper disposition OF them,
Let American supremacy be estab'
lished, and then independence could
be not only granted, but guaranteed.
And no sOoner had the treaty OF
Paris been ratified than Mr.. Bryan
began agitating for early Philippine
independence. Let the United States
withdraw in favor of a native govern.
:nent, and warn all outside powers
against interference. Twice as his
party'S candidate for president he
was supported on that proposition by
the American Aguinaldo society, and
in the platform he drew for Mr.. vii.
son at Baltimore last year he again
enunciated it.
1t is true, of course, that the island
government is under the direction OF
the war department. But doubtless
Secretary Garrison would waive the
point, and yield precedence to Score
tary Bryan. The latter has given
the matter much more thought than
any other democratic leader, and has
committed theparty to action of some
kind reversing the republican policy.
When Mr.. Bryan first took his
stand he had hopes of election to the
presidency, and had he won in 1900
he would have been in a strong posi-.
ton to attempt the inauguration of
his scheme. We had made but small
progress then with our Philippine
task, and the issue Of so-called i'm
perialism looked formidable. But a
good deal Of water has gone under
the bridge since then, and Mr.. Bry.
an, though in high Office, is not in
supreme command.
Still, he is the man who should
Investigate and report to his chief.
When Mr.. Wilson sails for Panama,
Mr.. Bryan should sail for Manila, 20
into the subject Of the Philippines
and the future thoroughly both with
the American officials and the Aguin-
aldians, and tell US how he reconciles
a policy of setting up the Filipiros
in business and warning off enemies
with a policy of peace and early Am
enlcan disarmament. What would
the cruiser Friendship, with he guns
shotted with millenlalistic rhetoric,
avail against the dreadnoughts Of
Japan, Great Britain or Germany. or
all three, shotted in the old STYLE
