Feline Rights.

Although the court Of appeals in
Leeds, England, has in a formal deci-
sion ruled that a cat has a perfect
right to roam, day and night, and to
kill the pigeons and chickens of its
owners neighbors, the finding does
not really end the case. The court
holds that the responsibility rests
upon the owners Of the poultry to
keep them out Of the way Of the cats.
and not upon the owner Of the cat to
keep it from attacking.
But suppose the cat trespasses upon
the premises Of the poultry? May
the owner of the birds STAY the cat?
The court has not so ruled. The ques-
ton Is not before it. Should the
pigeons fly into the yard Of the cats
owner, they, Of course, do so at their
own risk. Should the chickens come
over into the cats garden. they are
inviting disaster. The law Is clear as
crystal on that point.
Put the court at Leeds said that the
cat has . right to roam day and night
It is the Eats nature to roam, espe-
cially at night. Pigeons and chickens
are supposed to be indoors after dark.
Any nocturnal depredations a cat may
commit are. therefore. on the premises
Of the poultry. Does the native right
Of the cat to wander give it the right
to prey upon pigeons and chickens
peacefully roosting in their own
homes? Society has not granted the
predatory human that right.
1t is a sacred fundament OF British
law that the Englishman's home Is his
castle. Has the English pigeon or
domestic fowl any less title to security
and sanctity of domicile? 1t Is clear
that the court at Leeds confined itself
to q rather narrow limit Of considera-
ton. unless, indeed, it holds to much
broader definition of feline prerogative
than human right. So far as Is
known, the decision is not subject to
appeal, but 1t would be interesting
to hear what the lord chancellor has
to say on this important question.

The Stock Defation.

Evidence that the stock market re-
action which began last Saturday and
continued for three days this week
was simply wholesome correction OF
the imitation that has been developing
FOR many months is afforded by the
rapldity with which the tendency OF
prices was changed and the market
resumed its upward trend. There was
no panic IN the proper sense or the
word. The weaker holdings went
or" sensationally and in some cases
fan. below intrinsic values. Even the
stronger securities felt the effect OF
the reaction and suffered in their quo
tations. Eut at no time during the
brief spasm OF correction was there
any reason to doubt the fundamental
soundness of conditions.
AS one result of this furry the stock
market is replete with attractive bar
gains for the investor who is paying
outright for his stock and content to
wait for his profits and to take them
in reasonable measure. The specula-
tor. however, will probably rush in

the bear raid was brought about by
the concerted buying of securities by
large financial interests, able to place

a familiar spectacle. 1t Is like the
bringing of reserves to the lighting
line in the crisis of a battle. Repeat
edly these heavy resources have In the
past been thrown into the breach to
check or to forestall panic in the stock
exchanges. Sometimes this has hap
pened on such occasions as a great ma
tional or world disaster, when a catas-
trophic sudden happening has seemed

bility of affairs. 1t is well remember
ed, as an example. that when Presi-
dent Mckinley was shot at Buffalo on
a September afternoon in 1901 the
leaders of finance in New York met
and arranged to support the market"
the next morning against any possible
raid that might be started on the
strength of that tragedy. AS a result
of their concert of effort there was
not the slightest disturbance of the
financial system of the country.
So long as the earning power Of the
leading industries and commercial cor
porations of the country Is unimpaired
there is no occasion for panic. The
moment confidence in the continued
stability of business is shaken, with
good cause, the stock exchange be-

spectators to seek cover and for in

ever utterances Capt. Amundsen
made after his visit to DIR. Cook
showed extremely bad taste and
total lack Of appreciation for the hon
ors that have been heaped upon him
since he arrived in America after his

In the light Of these circumstances
it is not at all surprising that the in

In fact, Capt. Amundsen could have
expected no less. No contract had
been entered into and no public an.
nouncement made Of the lecture.
Therefore the society was not bound
in any way, and it was eminently
fitting that it should refuse to hear
the views Of a man who championed
a discredited faker and cast slurs on
the veracity Of the noted discoverer.

The Grand Army of the Republic is
making what is likely to be it's last
stand-a fight for a $60.O00.00O in
crease in the pensions of Civil War
veterans and their widows. Pending
in both houses of Congress are bills
providing for an increase of veterans
pensions from $50 to $72 a month and
for widows of veterans from $40 to
$50. The fight for passage of the
bills is being led by the drummer

the bills have run, though they are

Uncle Sam will not have to be super
generous to the men who saved the
Union for many years longer. There
are only lis, 900 of them left. They're
joining their comrades in the Great
Beyond at the rate of more than
10000 a year. Veterans widows are
vanishing almost as fast Though
$60,000,000 is the initial annual total
the increases would require, the re-
curing sums would materially d.
