ITS WELL TO KNOW THE LAW
It is a well recognized maxim that
ignorance of the law is no defense,
but sometimes the guilt in violation
is only legal not moral because the
guilty person did not know he was
violating any law. A case in point
has come to the notice of The Tribune.
A farmer who had borrowed money
and had given a mortgage on his crop
as security, almost—without the
slightest intention to wrong anyone-—
got himself into serious trouble by
selling his wheat without permission
from the mortgagee to do so. It was
so clear that his plan was to sell the
wheat and then repay his creditor that
explanations removed any doubt or
ill-feeling, but by this sale the man
had placed himself liable to a charge
of grand larceny.
It is possible that other wheat rais
ers who are not thoroughly informed
on the law might get themselves into
trouble in the same way; and there
is more likelihood of ignorance on the
subject as the change in the law mak
ing the offense larceny was only made
at the legislative session last winter.
At that session section 17 of chap
ter 86 of the laws of the Thirteenth
assembly was amended so as to read
as follows:
"Section 17. Any person who has
executed a mortgage on personal pro
perty, except locomotives, engines,
rolling stock of a railroad, steamboat
machinery and vessels in actual use,
lien or title created by such mortgage,
who shall, during the existence of a
remove the same from the county
where said property was situated at
the time of the execution of the mort
gage, or in case of a mortgage crop,
from the the land on which the same
was grown, or sell or remove said
property or crop, or any part thereof,
without the consent in writing of the
mortgagee, first had and obtained,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor, but if
such sale be made, or removal had,
with intent to deprive the mortgagee
•of his claim thereto, or interest there

GET ON OR GET OFF
Work is never work when you are
really n earnest, when you truly, hon
estly, sincerely are in sympathy with
what you are trying to do.
Play proves nothing but a bore, te
dious and tiresome, when your heart
is not in the game.
It's not how much you work, but
how much you jvant to work. You
never will do well until you want to
do well.
Your success depends on your men
tal attitude toward the task on hand,
the business before you.
It is not the number of hours that
you devote to your work, it's the num
ber of earnest hours, and the amount
of enthusiasm that you put into your
work.
Get into the game mentally. The
field is filled with muffers, bluffers and
grandstand players. If you cannot
warm uo, get off the track, and givei
the trail to someone who can show'
speed without a windshield. |
Nobody cares much what happens j
to the indifferent man, so long as he
does not hang around and get in the
way of those who would work.
Your life is your own,, and you
can do with your life as you please;
but you have no right, no legal or
moral right to put your front feet in
the trough and refuse to let anyone
else get there. j
When you get discouraged, disheart-.
ened, and you feel that everything is ■
going out and nothing coming in, just,
go down to the dock and watch the,
tide at its lowest level, and then watch
it come back in again.
Your failure is of little importance
to the world. The world is lumbered
up with failures. If you refuse to
work, you are in the way. Get on or
get off.
In every national campaign within
the recollection of this generation, the
burden of the argument of the Demo
crats has been that under a protect
ive tariff system the American con
sumer pays the tax. Although the
statement was denied by Republicans,
it was renewed and reiterated until
many people believed it. Now the
Democratic administration has dis
proved it. Protective duties were re
duced or removed. Did the consumer
p»y less for his food and clothing?
According to. the records of this ad
ministration he paid slightly more,
even before prices were affected by
the war. The fact is, therefore, the
importer or the middleman pays the
tax, and, when the tariff was reduced
or removed, the foreign producer, the
importer or the middleman put the
difference in his own pocket. The
American consumer paid no less but
the American producer lost his job.
The net balance in the National
Treasury August 30, 1915, was $52,
723,742 as compared with a balance
of $127,211,li8 on the corresponding
date two years ago when revenue
laws and appropriations enacted by
Republican ^'administrations were in
effect. The deficit for the first two
months of the present fiscal year is
129,217,775.

The Day that Puzzled Mike
As Mike passed through the drug
store he was greatly perplexed to hear
a lady ask the boy at the soda fount
ain for a "Nut Sundae." Mike was a
good Catholic and lost no time in
looking up the priest.
"Father," he said, anxiously, "I'm
after knowin' all about Ash Wednes
day and Good Friday, but will you
plaze to tell me what is a Nut Sun
day?"
CHINESE EDIBLE DOGS.
They Ar« Fed Mainly Upon Daintily
Prepared Vegetable Peed.
English bon vivants have tested the
merits of the Chinese edible dog,
they .pronounce it very good dog In
deed.
The dog la destined from the begin
ning for the table. Like the edible rat
of the same country, It is fed mainly
npon vegetable food, which is often
delicately prepared and specially de
vised, in order to give the dog's flesb
a peculiar flavor and aroma. The re
sult Is something quite different from
the flesh of the ordinary dog of the
western world.
The genuine Chinese edible dog is
Known by Its bluish black tongue,
which is a peculiar mark of ita variety.
In infancy and early youth the dog's
tongue Is red, and upon reaching ma
turity and the edible age it suddenly
becomes black, sometimes within two
weeks.
Another peculiarity of this dog Is its
lack of the barking faculty. It is said
that the dog can bark, and on oc
casions does so. but these occasions
are rare.
Many experiments, most of them un
willing, were made with the flesh of
dogs during the Paris siege. New
foundlands and St. Bernards were pre
ferred, under the mistaken impression
that they would prove more eatable
than other varieties. They proved to
be detestable in all cases.—Every
Week.
The Difference.
I The difference between a starving
man and a glutton—one longs to eat.
'and the other eats too lonsr.

Full Speed Ahead
He was the slowest boy on earth,
and had been sacked at three places
in two weeks, so his parents had ap
prenticed him to a naturalist. But
even he found him too slow. It took
him two hours to give the canaries
their seed, three to stick a pin thru
a dead butterfly, and four to pick a
convolvulus. The only point about
him was that he was willing.
"And what," he asked, having spent
a whole afternoon changing the gold
fishes' water, "shall I do now, sir?"
The naturalist ran his fingers through
his locks.
"Well, Robert," he replied at length,
"I'think you might now take the tor
toise out for a run."—Christian Re
