NEW PHASES OF THE QUO
WARRANTo

II A. should say to B, sT will sell
you my piano for 5000" and B should
reply, IT will give you $500 for the
parlor organ" no trade would have
been made. The attorneys for
ex Sheriff Cummings insisted a.
the quo warranto proceedings before
Justice Dunn that amendment to
section ten of article 9 of the Consti-
tuition has not been legally made and
Is not in force; that the Legislature,
which framed the amendment also
framed the question that was put to
the voters and which the voters ans
wered. that this is not the same as
the amendment, that consequently nc
agreement was made.
Another new feature presented by
counsel for Mr.. Cummings in brief is
to the effect that II 1t be concluded
that court was set up to try the
sheriff, In which the Governor and the
members of the council sat as jurors
it conflicts with a provision in sec
four Of article Ave, part second
which provision Is: land no coun.
cilor shall be appointed to any office
during the time for which he shall
have been elected"
The report Of the hearing has es-
pecial interest by reason Of these
new phases presented.

SUICIDE ON BEHALF OF BOOT
LEGGERS

The news tells of a call for lou
more dry agents in New York City
where there are $4,000 "speak-easies'
and half a million gallons Of alcohol
diverted monthly. This gives the
impression that a lot Of misguided
people are drinking what they can
get without regard to its effect upon
them.
In this connection some recent
comments by Uncle Dudley OF the
Boston Globe are pertinent. THESE
were made on the findings Of a prom
tnent medical authority to the erect
that the liquor that is being drank Is
spreading a physical and moral de-
vastation that will soon appal the
Nation"
This eminent physician concludes
out of his wide acquaintance Win
condition. that many people are
running their digestive apparatus with
bootleg liquor, from which there is
hound to be terrible consequences
No one has yet been able to prove
that the Redistribution Of denatureo
alcohol, when done under the best
conditions, has succeeded in elimi-
mating the poison. This Is as certain
as anything may be. The nature Oh
the poisons is such as to affect the
digestive tract, stomach, liver, ner-
vous tissue, and this sort OF poison
the drinkers, high placed and low
placed are absorbing.
Alcoholic stimulants at their best
when taken as a beverage, were bad
enough to deter sensible people from
unrestricted use of them, but unre-
stricted, or any considerable use VI
bootleg liquor is but a method o.
slow suicide, not always so YelN
slow at that. What are we to thlnl
OF the brain of an individual tina
will indulge in it? He must know
that not even his bootlegger really
knows what poisons his wares con-
tain. There no longer is any rea'
sonable doubt that the drinker o
bootleg liquor is running his health
beyond repair.

WHERE DRAW THE LINE

When one accumulates under his
control so much of worldly gear as
to be an exceptional figure among
men the public is not inclined to
pity him because he becomes the
target Of newspaper photographers.
There should, however. be sympathy
with his efforts to bring up his
children as sensible human beings.
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., gave an
excellent reason for Directing to
having his young sons snapped"
though submitting himself to the
process, which by this time must
be somewhat irksome for him.
Hard enough to bring up boys
without putting false notions into
their heads" he said by way of ex-
PLANTATION. you know the public
expects a rich mans son to make
a fool of himself, anyway. It's quite
a handicap for a young fellow to
start under"
We like to think Of the public be-
ing sensible enough to approve Mr.
Rockefeller's objection, but consider
ing some of the silly pictures
published for its amusement one
may be pardoned for a little skep-

ands. America has been prosperous.
Europe has not been prosperous.
On this side OF the Atlantic life
flows on full and free and there is
hope for the future. On the other
side life is pinched. the new graves
are many, there are mutterings Of
new wars and there is not much
hope.
We were not hurt by the war,
while Europe was wounded nigh
unto death. II is this that cannot
be forgiven. this and the fact that
we have much wealth and are ask
ing that the debts be paid.
The mutilated marchers in Paris
asked for neSv terms, for transfer"

The march of the mutilated was a
pageant of sorrow. Yet, solemn and
moving as it was. can it change the
situation? Will it lead Americans.
who hold Liberty bonds-the bonds
whose proceeds were borrowed by
France-to burn or cancel them?
The American Government can
not cancel them, for it does not own
them. They are owned by the peo-
pie. They must be paid, if not by
Europeans, then by Americans
themselves.
There is public opinion in
America as well as in France. That
opinion believes the terms given
Europeans are more than fair-that
they are in fact generous. When
Europe pleads tor understanding"
America also pleads that it be not
misunderstood.
For the plight of Europe is not
the fault of America There has

that payments are vital not only
because Of economic facts but be-
cause the very future of France
itself is at stake.
These broken marchers were back
ed by 100000 French war veterans
and by millions of their country
men. Politicians viii make use of
their march, but these men were not
politicians.
They marched in sorrowful re-
sentiment. American sympathy is
theirs, but they have made an evil
business worse by bringing Euro
pean envy, resentment and jealousy

from the stalks of wheat. After
that he pulls them together and
weaves them in and out into a ball
as big as an apple. Yes. sir. when
finished his little round nest stands
safely quite a distance above the
ground on the, strong, stiff stalks, up
which he can climb without the
least bit of trouble"
"You couldn't do that very well"
laughed the little rabbit. And the
little bunny was right, for Jimmie
Meadow Mouse was anything but
graceful. His body was rather stout,
his head blunt, with no neck to
speak of, his fur quite Tong, and his
legs short, and his tail much shorter.

Dear me-" thought the little rab-
bit, as he hoped away from the
bush on which Mrs. Spider had hung
a cradle for her babies, "how Won
derful everything Is. Mrs. Oriole
knits a stocking in which to hold her
babies; Mrs. Spider weaves a round
ball for a cradle; Mrs. Sunfish hol-
lows out little spot in the sand for
her little ones" And with this he
hoped still faster down the Old Cow
Path, his knapsack bouncing up and
down on his back and his red-strip-
ed candy cane swinging from his
left paw. Pretty soon, not so very
far. he met Jimmie Meadow Mouse,
who lived close to the dear Old
Bramble Patch.
Hey. there" shouted the little
rabbit, breathless with running.
wait a minute. I haven't seen you
for month of Sundays"
We'll, I keep pretty much to my
little private paths under the long
Mouse. Dear me, hope the Kind
Farmer will forget to NOV this year.
When the grass is cut, ind it very
unsafe to travel in the short stub
BILE. Hungry Hawk can easily see
me; so can Danny Fox"
Yes, you have little but grass to
hide in" admitted the little rabbit.
Mrs. Jimmie and I have a nice
nest beneath clump of grass, "
went on Jimmie Meadow Mouse.
Il think when the summer is
over / shall dig a short burrow in
the ground and at the further end
make a nest of dry grass
Il used to think you made your
nest above the ground on stalks of
grain" said the bunny boy.
You're thinking of my cousin, the
Harvest Mouse, of Europe" answer
ed Jimmie. He is very tiny, only
about two inches long. 1t would take
a hundred Harvest Mice to weigh a
pound"
Goodness gracious" exclaimed
the little rabbit.
But he knows how to build a pref
tier nest than any other animal"
went on Jimmie Meadow Mouse,
very proud to think that relative
of his was so clever. He first finds
a spot where the grain is growing
close together. say ten TO Is stalks
in a bunch. Then he draws the
grass-like blades that grow on the
grain through his mouth with his
teeth shut, and divides them into
many fine fibres. But he takes
mighty good care not to break them

BICYCLES YET WITH US

u One is occasionally and ap-
prehensively made aware that
bicycles are yet with US, when
some urchin wishing to show Off
zig-zags nonchalently in front of the
car one is driving. Last year $751;
495 bicycles were manufactured,
valued at S6,723,649, also parts valu-
ed at $3,o62,S45, and other classes OF
bicycle products bringing the total
value produced to $s11,2S1,314, de-
crease of 32.5 per cent as compared
with the products of the year 1923.
So much for statistics concerning
a vehicle that featured on our high
ways a quarter century ago. The
riders did not lose leg muscle on
these, as now by riding in automo-
biles. On bicycles the incipient
speed demon was nurtured; always
In a hurry to get to some place
without knowing just why. He re-
turns to recollection, shoulders
rounded over the handle-bars, eyes
seeing nothing save the road ahead,
all his intellectual equipment intent
on covering the distance. Surely
that was not a practice calculated
TO develop the intellectual equip
ment and there is no record that 1t
ever did. Indeed the speed demon at
the wheel instead of on it appears
to have gained nothing in intel
ligence in the passing of the years
When, from neglect of walking,
his legs become as useless as his
head he indeed will be in a bad way
though perhaps there will be some
to mourn his fate.
