Sir Edward Carsons resignation has nothing
to do with the Balkan question, as a usually

that the British Cabinet is on the eve of declaring

land is opposed to it whole, as in fact is the

THE fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis
DOM So it may be. 1t may also be a source Of
misery. If we are good through fear can't
be said ever to ally ourselves sympathetcally
with goodness. We likely to take our places
with those who long for the aeshpots of evil and
to keep the longing in hearts In this in
stance much depends upon what we mean by
fear" II VIC recognize God as the force for good
in life we naturally wish to follow the divine law,
and have a perfectly clear realization of the
consequences that must come from its violation.
But it does not follow that ought to torment
ourselves with what generally called fear
thoughts. There is big difference between a
healthy concern for ones spiritual welfare and the
fear that paralyzcs and weakens. In fact, many
teachers Of religion have long recognized the
danger of letting fear become a part OF the re-
lgous consciousness In itself it is like denial
OF the divine power. Those who arc most truly
spiritual certain be least susceptible to fear
Their faith gives them a strength that, not only
in emergencies but in the more commonplace re-
lations OF life, to have in it something more
than human.

DENIES RESPONSIBILITY
Central Vermont Railway Makes y
Tense in $4,000 Suit

The Central Vermont Railway Com
pany raises an interesting point in
connection with the action brought
against the company by H. a. staten
OF Vermont to recover damages of
$4,000 received through being sot
in the arm and thigh by the substit.
ute station agent at Vernon, Hugh
Collins, in 1913.
Section 1906 of the public statutes
under which the suit was brought,
reads as follows;
IF railroad corporation employs
or retains in its service a conductor,
engineer, brakeman. switchman, sem
aphorc or other signaman. train dis

ceiyes train orders, motorman, or OPP

fact being known to the president or
any of the directors Of such road,
such corporation shall be Gned not
more than $1,000 nor less than $500
and shall also be liable for damages
which a person sustains by the en-
Moyment or retention OF such an en-
ployen

derstood that no claim is made that
the company did not know that Col
Inns used liquor, 1t is understood al
so that the company interprets the
law to mean that in order to render
the company liable for personal dam
age such damages must result from
some act or acts of an employee in his
capacity as an employe; in other
words, that damages must result from
some service in behalf of the road, \
rendered inefficient by the use of
liquor, and that the railroad cannot
be held responsible for damages caus
ed by an employee in his private ca
pacity, outside OF his railroad work

THATCHER ON
THE BOUNTY LAW
Acknowledgement Declares That
But One Bounty Can be Paid
on Each Pelt.

The Nevada statutes referring 10
the bounties to be paid on coyotes
and other noxiouS animals are com
plicated, 10 say the least. In an en-
deavor to straighten out the tange
fur companies doing business in the
state have sent out at least two cir
culars containing their construction
of the acts which are not on " un-
authoritative, but misleading
Following is the opinion of Attor-
ney-General Thatcher on the subject,
which is published through the cour-
tesy of County Clerk White:
This office has several times deci-
ded that owing to the different ways
the officers designated by law must
mark the hides, only ONE bounty
can be collected on the skin of nox-
ous animal. TIE applicant is allowed
t" apply under any law he wishes,
but the hides must be so marked
that no other bounty can be collected
thereon. This Office has also decided
that the hide must be returned to
the party claiming the bounty after
being so marked that no other boun-
~ can be collected thereon.
Mr.. White will be governed by
this construction of the law in pay
ing claims for bountles, and the per-
SONS presenting the same will be re-
quired to select under which of the
three following acts his claim is to be
made:
County bounty act, 80 cents; re-
quires the whole scalp to be present
ed;
Stock commissioners act, Is cents;
requires whole hide to be presented,
but only four paws are to be cut off
at the knees.
slul commissioners act, IS cents
requires whole hide to be presented,
and the ears and scalp, in addition to
the four paws will be cut off
Under the county act, affidavit re-
garding scalps must be made before
Justice of the Peace.
Under the stock or sheep act, aft
davits must be made before the Coun-
ty Clerk.
1t is understood that no funds are
at present available for the payment
of bounties other than that provided
for in the county bounty act, which
will necessitate claims for the stock
commissioners and sheep commits
sion acts to be held up for the pres
emf
