New things are being learned about the law every day. The Hon. Bill Westergreen, who as Justice of the peace in and for Hobart town ship, has paused long enough with his laborious efforts in dispensing justice with both hands to the natives of the sand dunes to make a new legal discovery. Juc'lge Westergreen has found, that the classical dominions of Gary, generally suppose dto be confined entirely in the good township of Calumet, lap over into the political division known as Hobart township. The fact

that a' couple of hundred of acres sprawl into that township gives the Miller jurist original jurisdiction over all cases arising in that part of Tom Knotts 'bailiwick. It is pleasing to note that the court has announced that its rights will be maintained in the matter. If the Gary woolsack sitters dare to usurp the Judicial functions of the Miller dispensary of justice they will stir up a contest that will make the SulzerGlynn match pale in significance. While the Miller court Is not long on legal precedents it will assert its rights. Judge Westergreen on extraordinary occasions has been known to adjourn sessions to dispute the claims of some of the Aetna dynamite makers as to their wrestling prowess: On ordinary occasions

such things as good hunting and nibbling flsh are sufficient to cause the home-spun Jurist to stop the wheels of justice and take down his trusty squirrel rifle or to get out his line and tackle, which ever the case may be. Court has been known to adjourn In the evening when bull frog catching has been good in the marshes and the faithful bailiff in more than one instance has stood in dire danger of being fined $11.90 for contempt when he couldn't find his honor's gum boots, marsh lantern and frog spear. It will now be well for the natives of the Hobart township section to adjust themselves to whatever pass Ing rules the Miller court may have; and attorneys battling in litigation should be prepared for sudden ad ournments when hunting and "fish ing are good. DO THEY KNOW? That some men really don't know when they're well off is strongly sug gested by the Kansas City Times, which says: "G. J. Salem, an Egyptian who is a graduate of the University of Missouri, objects to be ing called 'Prince.' It is our hunch that a man who hails from the land of the pyramids is playing in luck when he escapes being labelled Cubeb" or 'Coffin Nail.' " EUGENICS AND COIN. Proposed improvement of the hu man stock by law is not meeting with universal approval, but the sug gestion of a Boston widow, combin ing pelf with the proposition, may help it. The idea originates from a wise woman. Starting on " a domestic career from Lowell, she made her debut In London, was married and widowed in France and is now home seeking a husband with eugenic ideas and money. The exact proportions of each are not defined. "Not that I believe In marrying: for money alone, said the widow, "but I do say it is useful. I wouldn't give the snap of my fingers for a college boy husband. He means all riRht, but he doesn't know. Marry, and the first thing you know papa has cut off his al lowance. "As for eugrenlcs, 1 should brjln in the high schools to teach the improvement of offspring. "Within four years no man or woman will pet a license to marry in the United States without first producing a certificate of health." Fusion of eugenics and money may win. Seeing there's money in it, it's 6trange the government doesn't reach for the scheme through one of its pure food clauses. SEVEN YEARS IS LIMIT. In order to ascertain the length of time for which declarations of in tention filed under the act. of June 29, 1906, are valid, County Clerk Chrlstoph some time ago wrote to the bureau of naturalization at Washington says the South Bend Tribune. Today h received a re play informing that the act in ques tion places a limitation on the length of time for which declara tions of intention shall be valid, of seven years from the date of filing Continuing the letter says: "The seven-year period from the date on which the act went into effect will have expired on Sept. 27, 1913, after which date the limitation will begin to run against declarations filed un der the new law. Unless declara lions of intention which were filed arter sept. 27, 1906, are used as a basis for a petition for naturaliza tion before seven years have expired from the date of filing the said declarations, they will become ipso facto invalid. In this connection it might be added that after Sept. 27, 1913, It may be that the courts will hold that the seven year limitation applies to declarations of intentions filed prior to Sept. 27, 1906, as'well as those filed under the act of June 29. 1906. Should aliens holding old declarations request information concerning the filing of petitions thereon. It might be well to acquaint such aliens with the above information in order that they may. If they desire to use their old declarations as a basis for a petition, file their petition before Sept. 27 and thus ooviaie tne nsK of Having tueir

HARRY KENDALL THAW, AND WHERE HE ESCAPED AT MATTEWAN.

After spending five years in Mattea wan. for the murder of Stanford White, and after spending; over a million dollars in a vain attempt at his release, Harry Kendall Thaw, in one of the most dramatic escapes that ever occurred at Matteawan, the asylum for the criminal insane, vanished Sunday morning, August 17. The photoeraph shows that section of the wall at Matteawan and declarations held to be invalid on the foregoing ground, upon the final hearing of their petitions." PEOPLE SHOULD STUDY POLITICS. The saddest feature of human suffering Is that the sufferers themselves .considered as a class, are to blame If we may say that any person is to blame for his condition. Among a nominally free people, where every man may take part in the primaries and later In the ballot, there is only one really fundamental reason for suffering. It is ignorance. Ignorance is a reason; it is not an excuse. If a man walking toward a deep hole should shut his eyes and walk into the death one might feel sorry for him," but the fact that he might have saved himself will plainly put the blame upon him, if blame there be; and if to this we should add that this man and others had the authority to pass a vote that would result in the filling up of the hole, and they did not do it, the responsibility would be still more definite. We would not say that such a man was free from blame simply because he could prove that somebody else dug the hole. We would blame him for walking with his eyes shut. To "raise yourself" in ignorance is to walk with your eyes shut. In half a day's study any man may learn exactly what he can do, so far as meetings, primaries and voting are concerned ,to help remedy any condition he wishes to remedy. Every man knows at least some things he would like to remedy. And, more than that, in all seri ousness and solemnity, the majority of our people really know what the fundamental conditions are upon (which Injustices are based. But the thing that is lacking Is the common-sense study that is nec essary to unite men who. believe in these things into an active, organlz ed force, capable of doing what al most every one wishes to see done. Education is what is lacking; and what we need is the practical study of politics in our public schools and elsewhere the thing that is now mysteriously called "civics." MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS. There are 105 boys born to 100 girls, according to statistics quoted by Professor William Bateman at the Royal Institution, London, the other day. He added that between the years 18il and 1901 the number of sons born in proportion to daughters gradually decreased. One cause of excessive birth of males, he explained, was the crossing of races. From Italian fathers and Argentine mothers there were born 105 boys to 100 girls, whereas to Italian fathers and mothers tha number of sons was only a fraction over equality. The excess of males was not confined to man. In dogs generally the proportion was 117 to 100, and in cattle there were 107 males to 100 females. COMBIXATIOT. Yon can smoke and ckrw "Country dub.
