Quarantine.

There is good deal of inquiry as
TO the right of the state and national
government to prescribe rules touch
ing the handling of diseased live
stock and the arbitrary ordering
that certain OF such stock be killed
where" 1t is asked. docs the gov
eminent get such a -right?" This
question is answered by saying that
II falls within what is known as the
police power of the state.
This is a power in the exercise of
which the government seeks to en-
force the just rule that person shall
so use what is his own as to cause
no damage or injury to his neighbor.
Under this power. government may
cause TO be discontinued, an occupa-
tion which sends into the air noxious
and unhealthy ordors. 1t may order
the removal of a building or a tree
that has become a nuisance. II may
enforce quarantine against contagious
or infectious diseases among the peo-
use OF vulgar or obscene language in
public. or splitting upon sidewalks. or
noisy conduct on Sunday. or the main
tenance of disorderly houses. So, II
eased live stock. you must handle
such stock in such way as to pre-
vent the spread of the disease to the
sound herd of your neighbor.' and
in case the disease is of so violent
a character as to be impossible of
control. n may order the destruction
OF all infected animals.
To one who is so unfortunate as
to own an infected herd. the order
for destruction has the appearance OF
an invasion of his private rights. but
here as in so many places where men
live in society. the right OF the indi-
vidual must give way to the safety
of the community. When the disease
is of anature to make the affected ami
NAL incapable of further usefulness.
It may be destroyed without compen-
sation. for the act of destruction only
hastens the inevitable end. and is not
the ultimate cause of loss to the own.
er; but in cases where there might be
a recovery. but the danger arising
from the presence of the infected
animal is very great. the animal may
be destroyed and the owner compen-
sated for the loss.
The management of this business,
when the danger passes beyond the
boundaries of the state falls to the
National Bureau of Animal Industry.

RED S0X LEAVE BOSTON
FOR THREE WEEKS IN
WEST--DETROIT TODAY

Boston. Mass, July S.-The Red Sox
left town Thursday afternoon with
- players on their second Western
trip. and for the next three weeks the
fans of Boston will undoubtedly watch
with great interest the score boards
which show the progress made by
CarTigan's men in their ardUous fight
against the teams on the foreign cir
cult.
Every player in the Red Sox fold
with the exception of Rodgers was
taken along. Everett Scott, who is
fast recovering from the effects Of his
injury a few weeks ago, will rejoin
his teammates in Cleveland.
In the meantime the Sox will not
miss the great shortstop. as it was
once feared. because Harold Janvrin
is filling the short field position as
capably as any man in the country
and his strong and consistent hitting
is proving big factor daily in the
Red Sox victories.
Their first opponents in the West
will he the Tigers. whom they meet
at Detroit on Friday. The team is full
Of confidence, for il is felt that the
Boston pitchers are coming into their
| own al last. Wood. Leonard, Shore
Foster Ruth and Mays are now in
fine trim while il is a matter of a
short time only before Gregg, Pen
mock and Collins will be able to as
sumo their share Of the burden.

Hollis CHILDREN ARE
ADOPTED BY AN AUNT
WILL NOT BE TOLD

Chicago. July s.-Two little girls,
now orphaned, are unaware that it
was their own father who has been
identified positively as the one who
set bomb in the National Capitol in
Washington. who shot John Pierpont
Morgan and who later committed sui
eide in the Jail at Mineola. L. l. And
what is more. they will be kept in
complete ignorance Of all these things
if loving relatives and guardians can
keep the news from them.
The little girls are Helen and
Leone Cramer, daughters of Erich

Muenter, who was poisoned by her
husband within a few days after lit
tie Leone was born in 1906. The chill
dren have been legally adopted and

day. Mr.. krembs is a brother of the
slain Mrs. Muenter and uncle Of the or
phaned children.
They have never known the name Of
Muenter, have never heard il so far as
we know. They do not know who their
father was and they know absolutely
nothing about him. We don't want them
to know. We are going TO take every
precaution to keep this news away from
them.
LAS far as Holt is concerned" con-
tinued Mr.. krembs, the suicide only
makes US doubly sure that Holt was
Muenter. In our own minds there never
was any double about that fact. We
knew that Muenter had been found. We
are going to try to forget now that such
a person as Nuente- ever lived. None
Of the family is going East in connection
with the case. There's no need of il.
We've no interest in the suicide.
At the Cramer home today there were
no answers to repeated rings at the bell
