We Dc not hold ourselves responsible for the viey
expressed BY our correspondents.
FROM ON 10.
PIoUA, Ohio, May 8, 1877.

iSOA1 UNIV way o, Aott.
To the Editor Of the woRKSeHASs ADVOCATE.
| enclose you an article entitled "The
Language Of the Law" it originally appear
ed in The Grange Bulletin. published at
Cincinnati, and contains much food for re-
Election.
The writer Of this has long contendcd
that the people Of this country were cursed
with too much governing; our laws not on
ly contain vast amount Of useless legal
verbosity, and as a consequence are very
ambiguous. but We have too many Of them.
In this great State Of Ohio, we keep RO5
men, an average Of four months in the
year, making and Unmaksng laws lat an
expense Of about 81 900 per day., until, as
shown by the enclosed article that nc two
lawyers can agree as to what is Law, and
the inevitable result Of this annual manu-
facture Of wagon loads Of statutes is, an
ever increasing horde of tax consuming
vampires, in the shape of lawyers to ex-
pound, and officers to execute the Law,
while the great army Of wealth Producers
who need but few laws, land they should
be plain, and easily UNDERSTOOD, have to
foot the bills.
The taxes IN the State OF Ohio, last year
footed up over S2S 900, 900, and for the
last OF . years there has been q steady
increase Of over 8, 900, 900 per year. The
farmers Of Ohio comprise nearly 66 per
cent Of its population, and upon their
shoulders the great bulk Of this burden
falls. The question naturally arises then,
is all this governing, Law making and tax
ing necessary Is it the natural re-
suit Of civilizati N If so then civili-
Zatlon is fal,nre hut ! deny that il
IS the natural result Of civilization, and
deny that il is necessary. Common sense
would teach rs that what we call civiliza
ton advances, that is, as the masses are
educated, elevated aud refined, and thes }
are the distinguishing features of our civ
ilization Of winch we are wo.t to boast
that less governing would be required,
but few laws would be wanted, &c. Look
about you, and you will see the great army
Of toilers, the farmer at his pillow, the
mechanic in his shop, all busy at their
daily employment, needing but few laws
and but little governing. They pay but lit
tie attention 70 such things. and iust there
is the difficulty. We neglect to govern
ouselves, consequently a horde Of unprin-
cipled professional politicians are doing it
for US, and making rs pay an enormous
price for their services. have been sneered
at by politicians, ridiculed by professional
men, and laughed at by brother farmers,
for talking about, ard writing upon these
subjects. They tell me that had ''better
be at home attending to my business, but
say it Is my business to discuss and agi-
tate those questions, and it is the business,
y the duty Of tverY man land woman
too) IN this country, to study more Of po-
litical economy, and less Of party politics,
if ever we expect this government to be q
government of the people, by the people
and for the people. But enough for this
time. s. S. LINN.

Ohio have striven to have labor bureau
established at Columbus. At last through
the interchangeable exertions of the Hon.
John Fehrenbatch, one Of the represen-
tatives from Cleveland, they have at
length been successful. Gov. Young has
appointed Mr Harry J. Walls, of Cincin-

sentatives at the capitol who stand second

shall be mined in the months Of June and

prices made in January shall stand for the

who is in London, England, has been tele-
graphed for his consent. As Mr.. Sloan is

Rockville's Indifference.-we hard

hOchNIlIc1b w z HdEuiN
think that our community is behind other
communities in our county in intellectual
culture and advancement. But we are scarce
ly reconciled to this view of the matter when
we see how little encouragement is given by our
people TO literary entertainments in COMPARE
son with other communities. Again the above
view Of the matter is barely adinissi bic when
We notice at our entertainments very few
children. All are very ready 10 admit the
advantages Of healthful literary amusements,
but we here in Rockville seem very unwilling
TO take hold of and profit by those adyan-
tages. In the slim audience at Mrs. D.'s
readings on last Saturday evening, we do not
think that there were more than half dozen
children present. This speaks very badly for
us and gives a reputation abroad not at all en-
viable. 1t is unnecessary to speak Of the
benefits Of such entertainments as given on last
Saturday evening, for as we said before all are
ready to admit that they are very beneficial
both as giving polish to manners and tone 10
mind. Il the older members OF our community
are too much engrossed in political myste-
ries - we think they might at least ''stcal a
whileaway" from their grave interests and give
a thought to the enjoyment of their children.
Complaints are constantly icing made that our
town is 'dead" TO all pleasure, and dead 1t
will continue to be unless we encourage these
amusements and gain reputation abroad for
being an appreciative people.
