Nouel Cases in the Courts

New York Times: Tho habits Of the
beaver form the subject # an opinion
by the court Of appeals of New York
state in Barrett against State of New
York, in which the plaintiff sued to
recover for damages to his property by
wild beaver liberated in the Adiron-
dacks and protected by a law prohibit
ing any person from molesting them or
their dams or homes. The beaver thus
liberated increased in number, and some
Of them established a dam near plain
tiff's property and cut down and car
ried away a number of his Young pop
lar trees. He filed claim in the court
of claims and received an award, but
the court of appeals, in reversing the
judgment, holds that the state has a
constitutional right to protect the bea-
ver although damage may result TO
individuals, and that the damage caused
by the beaver Is not so much different
from that caused by deer or moose as
to cause the application Of different
rule. The opinion, written by Justice
Andrews, said in part:
to guarding merely the physical or
material interests Of the citizen His
moral, intellectual, and spiritual needs
may also be considered. The eagle H.
preserved, not for its use, but for it's
beauty. The same thing may be said
Of the beaver They are one of the
most valuable Of the furbearing ami
mails of the state. They may be used
for food. But, apart from these con-
siderations, their habits and customs,
their curious instincts and intelligence
place them in a class by themselves.
Observation of the animals at work or
play is source of never-failing inter
est and instruction. If they are to be
preserved, experience has taught US
that protection is required. II
they cause more damage than deer
If they cause more damage than deer
or moose, the degree Of the mischief
done by them is not so much greater
or so different as to require the appli
cation of special rule. If the preser
vation of the former does not unduly
oppress individuals, neither does the
latter.
The attempt to introduce life in a
new environment does not always re-
suit happily. The rabbit in Australia
the mongoose in the West Indies. have
become pests. The English sparrow IS
no longer welcome. Certain of our
most troublesome weeds are foreign
flowers. Yet governments have made
such experiments i'm the belief that the
public good would be promoted. Some.
times they have been mistaken. Again
the attempt has succeeded. The Eng
lish pheasant Is valuable addition to
our stock of birds. But whether a sue.
cess or failure the attempt is well with.
in governmental powers.
IF this is so with regard TO foreign
life, still more is 1t true with regard
to animals native to the state, still
existing here, when the intent is to
increase the stock upon what the con-
stitution declares shall remain forever

SILENT BIDDERS.

London Tit-Bits: Tnere are many
methods in auction rooms whereby well
known bidders signify to the auctloneer
their intention Of increasing the last
bid made without any verbal notifica-
ton. One man, for instance, will very
carefully adjust his tie, another may
purse up his lips, a third tickle himself
behind the right or left ear. 1t is a
fact that one Of the richest buyers in a
certain West End auction room inti-
mates that he has reached his limit
by the polishing Of the lenses of his
eyeglasses. while yet another. adopt.
ing the most nonehalant attitude, as IL
he were really not bidding at all, but
was casually examining the lots as
they came forward gives his signal by
the opening and swapping Of the case
Of bis gold hunting watch, as IL he
were just glancing at the time. OF
course, the auctioneer knows the idi-
osyncrasies Of his various customers.
and therefore accepts the bid and calls
1t out, while the general body assem-.
bled there are utterly at loss to know
who has made the last advance.

hiblting their destruction it is difficult
to see why it may not attain the same
result by removing colonies to a more
favorable locality or by replacing those
destroyed by fresh importations.
"Nor are the cases cited by the re-
spondents controlling. 1t is true that
ons who keeps wild animals in captivity
must see to it at his peril that they
do no damage to others. But it is not
true that whenever an individual is
liable for certain act the state is liable
for the same act. In liberating the
beaver the state was acting as a gov.
ernment. AS a trustee for the people
and as heir representative 1t was doing
what 1t thought best for the interests
Of the public at large. Under such cir.
cumstances we cannot hold that the
rule of such cases as those cited are ap-
plicable."

Weak|ings Warn Of Danger
In The Future.
Must Build Up Bodies OF Our
Youth. Health Neglected.

Youth. Health Neglected.
"Regrettable as are the large num-
bers of weaklings encountered in the
physical examinations under the
draft" said Adjutant General Henry
M. Warfcld, they convey to us a
lesson which we must promptly grasp,
and after grasping it. we must pro-
ceed to profit by it. That lesson is
that we must by physical training,
begin at once, prepare our boys who,
if not trained, will develop into weak
lings, to be strong, hardy men, not
for military service alone, but in or
der that they can successfully cope
with the strains of modern existence
and competition in all activities OF
life.
"The military branch of the gov
ernment has been most grievously
disappointed in the physical failures.
Experts had calculated that about 81
per cent. of the men drafted would
be physically fit. Instead the num-
ber is under 40 per cent. The sad
lesson is brought home to US in a most
striking manner that we have neglec-
ted the health of our boys. We have
been recreant to our duties as parents.
"We must at once reform our whole
system with a view to building up
the bodies of our youth. The begin
ming must he made in our schools,
public and private, and the process
kept up through all the courses until
the youth, when grown man, will
be turned out finished product,
physically as well as mentally. We
could, if we would, and we must
learn many things from Germany,
and one of them is physical training
by which its national efficiency has
been developed. We must start with
the child in the schools. If he has
any physical defects they must be
eliminated at once to prevent the
wrecks sure to come later. There are
many ailments, simple at first, which
can be cured with proper treatment
in their early stages. While we have
visiting nurses in our public schools,
they have no power to compel par
ents to have defects in their children
promptly eliminated. From If to
IS there should be rigid physical
courses in our schools. Our teachers
should be as thoroughly trained in
these as in the mental courses.
After his eighteenth year each
boy should be compelled to undergo
a military training. | mention the
military training because it carries
discipline as well as physical improve
ment. trust that shal see the day
when at Camp Meade will be trained
10000 young men every year, with
other similar camps all over the coun-
try in operation. In view of the
large expenditure by the state gov
ernment in clearing the site and in
view of the far larger expenditure by
the federal government, we Mary
landers should leave no stone un-
turned in order that we may save
this camp after the war for the train
ing of our boys, that the weaklings,
instead of being far in the majority,
may be reduced to minimum, and
generations for all time developed to
meet the onslaughts of the daily strug-
gle in all occupations for existence, a
struggle which will become more acute
and harder with the coming years. "
