M. MALZAHN.” News Forecast for the Coming Week. Washington, D. C., May 4—A pres- idential preference primary for both parties in Maryland on Monday will start the political ball a-rolling for the week. Unbiased critics agree that the situation in Maryland is confused and that the results of the primaries, on the Democratic and Re- publican sides alike, cannot be pre- dicted with any great degree of cer- tainey. Both the Taft and Roose- velt managers appear sanguine of success. Clark and Wilson are fight- ing hard for the Democratic indorse- ment, while there is believed to be an underlying sentiment fer Harmon that may upset the calculations of the two leaders. Roosevelt’s success in the recent Republican primaries in Kansas is expected to result in a victory for him in the state convention, which will meet at Independence Wednes- day to name delegates to the Chicago convention. The anti-Taft wing of the Republican party in Alabama will hold a convention in Birmingham Saturday to name Roosevelt dele- gates to Chicago. The ‘faft manag- ers count upon victory in Nevada and Arkansas, both of which will hold their state convention during the week. The state convention of Pennsyl- vania Democrats, which will meet in Harrisburg Tuesday, is expected to be marked by a lively contest be- tween the rival factious for control of the party organization and the se- lection of a national committeeman. A Democratic presidential prefer- ence primary will be held in Missis- sippi Tuesday and state conventions to name delegates to the Baltimore gathering will be held in Iowa and Washington. * Hearings for the taking of evi- dence before the examiner in the case of the government’s suit for the disso- lution of the United States Steel Corporation will begin Monday in New York city. The examiner is Henry P. Brown of Philadelphia. A question that has stirred Cana- da to its deptl@ths will be aired in the supreme court at Ottawa Tues- day, when arguments will be heard as to the right of the Canadian par- liament to pass a federal marriage law. Heretofore the provinces alone have legislated on marriage. Vari- ous Protestant bodies, however, have recently urged a Dominion law to overcome the marriage customs in certain sections, particularly Que- bec, where the law is ezpecially dis- tasteful to the Protestants. The President and Mrs. Taft are to attend the Cincinnati music festival, which is to have its opening Tuesday evening. Later in the week the president expects to go to Princeton to attend the inauguration of Dr. John Grier Hibben as president of Princeton University. At the call of Governor Hooper of Tennessee, delegates from all of the southern states are to assemble in Nashville Tuesday for a three days’ congress for the study and discus- sion of social problems peculiar to the south. Other large gatherings of the week will include the national reunion of Confederate veterans at Macon, the imperial conclave of the order of the Mystic Shrine at Los An- geles, and the International Confer- ence of Red Cross societies in Wash- ington, D. C. Long Court Term. Judge Stanton, who has been hold- ing court at Walker for the past two weeks, is expected back to Bemidji tonight. He has finished all jury * cases but one and that will be tried next week by Judge Homer Dibell, of Duluth.

METHODISTS RAP OFFICIALS ‘ Action of Seeretary Wilsom Precipi- tates a Censuring Kesolution. Minneapolis, - May 4.-—Resolutions declaring that those in' authority in the United States government have “forfeited all claim onm: the future franchise of the Christian' and seber manhood of the nation,”” were adopt- ed yesterday by the general Metho- dist conference in session in' Minme- apolis. In the resolutions, based' entirely on the action of Secretary of Agri- culture James Wilson in presiding at the brewers’ convention in Chicage, last October, the president of the United States, the secretary of agri- culture and the seeretary of sts;te!_ are named as disregarding “the ex- pressed wish and prayer of Christian manheod and womanhood of the na- tion™ in the Wilson coniroversy. The! resolution condemning ‘he authori- ties was passed by show of hands and after vigorous opposition. Although the consideratiom of the Wilson resolution was the most sen- sational incident. of yesterday’s ses- sion of the conference a matter of most vital interest came before the church when the bishops, acting in unison in their address of ‘episcopacy,. recommended that the church’s legal ban on “dancing, cardplaying, games of chance, theatergoing, dancimg par- ties and dancing schools, circuses and by the repeal of the paragraph in the discipline and that John Wesley’s or- iginal ban on “such diversions.as cannot be taken in the name of the Lord Jesus” be allowed to stand.

Suppose you owned a dog and a neighbor asked the courts to compel | you to keep it from barking and yelp- ing day and night, interfering with 1 his business and causing him and his family loss of sleep, and suppose the court handed down a decree requiring you to restrain your dog from bark- ing, yelping and howling, “except in cases of burglary or fire,” how would you set about obeying the order? If you fix it so the dog cannot bark at all and burglars invade your domi. {cile or fire breaks out and the dog cannot bark, you may be robbed or murdered in peril by disobeying the { injunction that your restraint of the | barking, yelping and howling shall ex- | tend only to those periods when there , is no burglary or fire. For the order expressly limitg your right to restrain any barking, yelping and howling | aforesaid by those exceptions. { -~ arugt you sit up nights and look out for burglars and fires and be ready to i remove your restraint of the dog’s vocalization when either or both ap- | pear? i Yes, you might get rid of the dog, { of course, but there is nothing said | about that. The law does not prohib- | it you keeping the dog. All it is con- ; cerned about is that you shall not al- low the dog to become & nuisance. You have to place it under restrafnt. But you can at least congratulate yourself that, unlike the trusts, you do not have to worry about what con- stitutes reasonable restraint because there’s not a word about reasonable- néss in the law. All you have to do is to restrain the animal from bark- ing, yelping and howling, except in cases of burglary or fire. The excep- tion may, it is true, seem unreason- able, but the law is made to be obeyed somehow and it leaves it to you to find out how. TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING Duck Raiser Found Pepsin of Consid- erable Value, But He Has Dis- continued Its Use. Refusing to eat any kind of food offered to them, Charles Koch of Port Chester, N. Y., concluded that his flock of one dozen ducks had a form of dyspepsia and decided to doctor them himself. His method was not entirely original, for he procured pep- sin tablets and, dissolving them in water, he contrived to get the fluid down their throats with the aid of a metal tube. Releasing them one by ~ne he sat down in the house to see what happened. Almost magical effects were noted. Instead of declining their usual pro- vender, they ate it with avidity and came back for more. Scraps from the family dinner table also disappeared in a similar manner. Delighted with the suecess of his experiment Koch administered additional doses of fluid prepsin. Ducks eggs were one result. But mow the entire ffock seems to be always hungry. That has its disa- greeable features.. Seven o'clock in the morning is the custemary feeding time for the ducks, but i is different now. The ducks know where Koch sleeps, and they assembie under his bedroom window and quack in chorus before five o’clock, keeping up the din until ke throws some food to them. Twe hours or so later they re- sume their elamor. So it goes all day. Koch is. getting eggs, but he is losing sleep. “Take it.from me,” he says, “I have stopped: the pepsin.” —_— Pleasant Quarters for French Prisoner A retreat rather than a prison ig the new imstitution which Bas been raised at Evreux, on the road from Paris to Troumville, says a carrespong- ent of the London Globe.
