It la perfectly proper to characterize the fcnule crossing us an anachronism. U has no place in twentieth century Jeeelopiuent. It ! not permitted in monarchic nt which a good many citi-ti-ns of the republic are wont to Miner. It Is a distinct favor granted to cor porate wealth that would he ilenii-d to Individual enterprise. It has grown Into n tenor and must he abolished, and this despite the protests of own ers of titoi'L saturated to the dripping point. IieMiits from various parts of the rounlry show much fewer deaths than usual from Fourth of July accident-. The reason la the lessened utile of toy pistols and blank cartridges. Never theless there were many deathni-far too inauy from loc-kjaw. Kvery ono waa clearly traced to a violation of the, law hy onio dealer In tire arum or fire works, mid a violation of parental duty in allowing children to have the dangerous toys. All these cases de nerve the widest publicity In order that other parents, may be warned. Itev. It. S. McArtbur: "1'ut all the nation of the earth under the rule of two Anglo 8a xuti nations and the world will ho for civilization, peace and Christianity." This Is race self esteem on a gigantic scale. What evidence Is there that England, which corrupted China with opium, would control Chlnu better than she can con trol herself? What civilization cun the tidied Hairs give to France? Or why should Rnsland and America de cide what is the best policy for Ger many to pursue? The so-called Anglo Kaxon nations are not so Infallibly righteous themselves that they can be trusted to take aole care of the rest of the world. Civilization, peace und Christianity are not possessed by An-glo-Saxoua alone. Whether or not a cat la personal property within the meaning of the criminal statute Is n question which a ISostosi Judne has decided In the nega tive. Ilia decision will Interest many perhons outside the Jurisdiction of his court. lings, by being licensed, are raised to the level of domestic ani mal lii which property rights may exist; but cuts, since the State makes no mention of them, have not attain ed the s.iiiie level. The case lately under ousiiieralion Involved the loss mid the alleged theft of an Angora cat which had a recognized trade value of fifty dollar. If this princess among cats could nut succeed In establishing her rights at law, the legal statu of her humble relatives, the "Maltee" and the "torty-shell," ccems to be alto Kether hopeless. The thirty years' war of the Dutch upon the Achillea of Sumatra Is cul iiilnatinK In atrocities little worthy of the people who ao elociently denounc ed the l'.ritish for their war with the Transvaal, lu Sumatra as in South Africa the object of the Kuropean power was to subject the resisting peo ple and incorporate their country Into an empire. Hut the Hollanders aecm able to give poluta to the Itrltlsh. At l.lknt, for example, the Dutch, with a loss of but fifteen wounded, killed 4;12 Achlnese, ln ludliiR women and &8 cblluieii. Three days later, at I-iiiiirntiiars, they killed d Achlnese, of whom lH'i were women nnd 130 children, their own loss being but twenty-nine wounded. Thla reads like butchery rather than war.
