A contract agent for an electric con-
Germ has invented what he calls a
"cent-hour' meter designed to give a
positive answer to the question, How
much does 1t cost to operate?" The
meter is mounted on a pedestal with
Ia shelf attached on which the device
Is placed. When any current consum-
ing appliance is connected with the
meter hand on the dial points in
stantly to the number Of cents per
hour it costs to operate it. 1t is espe-
cially useful in demonstrating to a
prospective consumer the cost Of cur
rent for a device that consumes en-
ergy at more than one rate. Expert
ence has shown that this method of
answering a most important question
has more weight with the customer
than verbal reply. The reading of
the dial of each meter is made to cor
respond with the central stations rate
for current.

Justice scudders decision that it is

Justice Scudder's decision that 1t Is
not slander to call horse dealer "A
skin" establishes another bulwark for
free speech. AS the justice remarked
In dismissing the suit, Things like
that are nearly always said in the
course Of horse deal" They are, in
fact, an essential part of the transac-
ton, says the New York World. There
probably never was horse deal one
party to which did not think he had
been cheated, and to prevent by law
the free expression of his grievance
in the trades time honored terms Of
invective would amount to an inter-
ference with an ancient American in
dustry. The decision in effect au-
thorizes the continuance of horse
dealing under its traditional methods,
whereas an adverse ruling would
have tended to hamper If not destroy
1t. In thus dignifying the language of
horse trading the learned judge does
not, 1t is true, raise 1t to the level
of the language of politics. 1t may
still be hazardous to call a dealer a
crook or liar. Apart from its new
legal status, skin" is defined in the
dictionaries as "a cheat, or fraud, or
sharper" On a horse dealers lips.
like scamp" and "loafer" on the lips
of a mayor, it has lost its original
force from frequent and promiscuous
use and become a technical trade
term.

A STRANGE CASE.

The case of Joe Darsey a Georgia
farmer. which is pending in the Su-
preme court of the United States, is
one of the most unusual that ever has
come before that tribunal. Darscy
gia, on the charge Of numbering a neigh
Dor named John Watson. He was put
on trial. The jury received the judge g
charge and retired to deliberate. The
jurors then came into court and re-
turned verdict of "involuntary man
that Darsey told him he shot Watson
Just for fun
The judge Informed the jury he
would not accept the verdict. as he had
not included such verdict in his
charge, The jury returned later and
clared mistral Counsel for Darsey
objected, saying that the Judge should
have accepted the verdict Of invoun-
tary manslaughter.
When preparations were made TO try
Darscy again his counsel interposed
the plea in bar of former jeopardy,
holding an attempt was being made TO
try Dar-ey twice for the same Offense
and that he could not be placed in
jeopardy twice. On this issue an ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme court
Of Georgia. which divided evenly on
the question. The rule Of that court
was that in such an event an appeal
should be dismissed, so that the court s
action practically resulted in reiec-
tion of Darsey's appeal. Darsey's
counsel then carried the case to the
United States Supreme court for final
determination.

WILSON'S CAUTION.

1t is fortunate that President Wilson
used the utmost caution in his negotia
tions with Vcnustiano Carranza. leader
| Of the Mexican Constitutionalists. Car.
| rama S sole desire at this time is TO OBJ.
| tain munitions OF war and commissary
supplies from this country. He believes
that ii the United States lifts the en-
barge on arms he will be able TO trl-
umph over the federal forces, drive out
Huerta. and mako himself-at least
rily-dictator of the country.
In view of his eagerness to obtain arms,
it would seem natural for him to accept
most of President Wilson g suggestions,
but we find him not only opposed to
intervention but even TO mediation by
the United States. He declares that he
will have nothing to do with Huerta,
and will arrange for no armistice, be-
cause such action would be tantamount
TO recognizing Huerta as a legal ruler.
Carranza Is arguments are feeble, and
ii is more than likely that the real rea
son for his attitude lies in the fact that
he must truckle to Mexican hatred of
the Gringoes. He will make no con-
cessions to the United States for fear
that ultimately all Mcxicans, blinded by
their prejudices against the United
States and its people, will abandon his
cause.
President Wilson will soc in the blood
thirsty conduct of Pancho Villa an
other reason to congratulate himself
that he has acted warily IN dealing with
the Constitutionalists mo quarter
seems to be the policy of both sides.
The rules of civilized warfare are
thrown to the winds. Capture means
death,
IF he supported either side, there
fore President Wilson would find him
self bac king bands of savages. In seek
ing to wash his hands of the assassin
Huerta he would discover, if he took up
the cause of Carranza, that he could
not escape the red shame Of association
with murdercrs.
The people of this country must APP
prcciate the fact that President Will
son is confronted by problem of al
most heartbreaking difficulty, and on
this account they should be united in
lending him their sympathy and unway-
ering support.
