According to the common law of Rug
laud there enn bu no theft of things
which form part of or arc attached to
tin- soli, and there Is no statute or pen
alty against the gathering (if wild flow
ers in a Held or wood. Most people at
some time or other have paused at the
fearsome legend, "Trespassers Will He
Prosecuted,” printed on the menacing
hoard which lawyers have described as
a "wooden llnr,” for, as a matter of
fact, the mere walking across another
man's Held Is up more a criminal of
fense than to walk along the highroad.
If (lie trespasser does no actual dam
age there Is no ground for prosecution,
with any tiope of obtaining more than
merely nominal damages, and none
tail a born litigant would dream of
taking action. Loudon (Jlohe.

It is shameful that autocracy
should dominate Russia and hold
her people in pov erty and ignor
ance.
lint it is far more shameful still
that greed and graft should per
meate anil rot, as it does, tile in
stitutions of our own enlightened
and free people.
Philadelphia needs manhood lo ;
support and carry through the
tight begun against exposed politi-
c il ehieaury and crime.
Missouri needs manhood lo sus
tain the valiant Folk ill his etVorls
to rescue the State from its long-
tolerated deliancejof law .
Wisconsin and Kansas need
manhood in the contests with en-
t reached monopoly .
(>hio needs manhood to dethrone
political bossUm that, like a gi
gantic spider. has entrapped every
department of the State govern
ment in its deadly web.
Poor Russia! She indeed needs
manhood, Rut she'is not alone in
that need.
It is iacoucciv able that any on-
; lightened Russian can believe in
autocracy as a finality.- It is still
more strikingly inconceivable that
any enlightened American can be
lieve business monopoly and polit
ieal graft may continue in their
is—.Midency without leading to the
lisgrace and death of the republic.
Manhood must, sooner or later,
issert itself in this country . More
is expected of us than of Russians.
In deploring Russia’s need of
nauhood. let's not forget our own.
