DISCUSSING the question Of fLiguor Legis-
lation, in the April number of Popular Sci
ence, Mr.. Gorham D. Williams thus speaks of
the relation of law to public sentiment. The
position is worth the careful study of those
who are interested in the development Of legal
methods for the control, or the extirpation,
of wrongful and injurious tendencies in hui
man society Mr.. Williams says:
II have said that offenses against the law
are not Of frequnt occurrence, and, Of course,
that is to say in comparison with the ordinary
events OF life. Not one man in a hundred,
probably, has ever violated the provisions Of
the law as to the sale of intoxicating liquor.
But violations of the law are more frequent in
some communities than in others The same
law against murder prevails throughout the
city Of New York. for instance, but in certain
parts of that city murder is of common occur
renee when compared with other parts. The
law fOrbids murder in all the Southern
States, yet certain kinds of murder by
comparison with the Northern States, are Of
frequent occurrence there and go unpublished;
and this is true to such an extent as to be an
occasion of reproach to the condition of pub
lie sentiment there. Dueling was forbidden
anu punlSnaole Tor many years before puDl1c
sentiment was such as to permit the enforce
ment of the law. Now the statutes against
dueling have become of little consequence,
because public opinion about dueling is suffi-
cient law. Laws do not make people virtuous,
honest or temperate by their mere passage.
When laws Furnishing crime, fraud and in
temperance are enforced, they do have an in
fuence in their prevention. But for the en-
forcement of the law we need not only per-
sons ready to set prosecutions on foot and
officers ready to serve warrants of arrest but
we need also courts and juries ready to convict
on sufficient evidence, and witnesses willing to
testify. For all these we must have an over
whelmingly public sentiment in favor Of the
law, and this is true not only OF large commu-
mites like States and counties, but of small
communities like villages and hamlets.
Neither murder nor any other crime can be
punished if those who have knowledge of the
facts connected with it will not tell what they
know. This is especially true Of any class of
crimes in which all the participants are held
equally guilty; in illustration of which is the
notorious difficulty of obtaining convictions for
offenses against the law as to the relations of
the sexes. 1t is also true of offenses against
the laws now under consideration, not because
both parties to sale of Intoxicating liquor are
held equally guilty, but because both are par
Elephants in the act which constitutes the
offense, and all manly feeling, Of which even
drunkards havea little, revolts at testifying
in such case"

things have been known-they can draw cuts,
and one become a man. Girls will pronounce
this $50 nice" without dissenting vote.
But of course, there will have to be law
regulating this thing No one, for ex-
ample, should be permitted to change
oftener than once year-that is, no
single person. Married persons should be
held perpetually to the sex in which they as
summed the marital obligations. This section
might, however be qualified to accommodate
certain kinds of women who would naturally
grace bifurcated garments The law should
further provide that in time of war all boys
turn not to girls, lest the horror of the
situation be increased, nor girls to boys when
peace is assured lest peace be destroyed by
the change. The same regulations should
hold as to housekeeping time and
the base ball season. It would be
necessary, likewise, to enact that girl boys
give up the habit of giggling and indiscrimi-
nately kissing each other, and boy-girls must
not be allowed to go with one suspender or ex-
pectorate between their teeth. The govern
ment will undoubtedly take advantage of this
discovery in event of hostilities with any other
power, making it compulsory for certain girls
to bear arms, probably selecting such as de-
light to wear decollete dresses, with shoulder
straps instead Of sleeves. Prof. Pancoast is
orable mention before the Woman's Suffrage
Association

THE disputed territory known as Oklahoma
has an extent Of about 1900 square miles. In
order to reach it it is necessary to go from the
borders Of Kansas 100 miles westward through
the Cherokee country. It's boundary on the
south is the Canadian river, on the north the
Cimmaron river, on tho west the reservation of
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. 1t originally en-
braced nearly 5000 square miles Of territory, but
various reservations have been set off, so that its
dimensions have been reduced to 1900 square
homa was given the country by Colonel
Boudinot. Cherokee, and signifies in the
language of that tribe ''the home Of the
red man." A bill was introduced into Congress-
some years ago, to establish territorial govern
ment in the Indian country, to be called Okla
homa, but the project fell through. Oklahoma
occupies a position nearly in the center of the
Indian Territory. In general, it may be defined
as bounded on the north by the Cherokee strip
of land lying west of the Arkansas river; on the
east by the reservations of the Pawnee, Iowa.
Kickapoo and Pottawatomie tribes of Indians;
on the south by the Canadian river.
and on the west by the reservation
Of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians
The territory within the boundaries thus
described is about sixty miles on line running
through its center north and south, and about
forty miles east and west, except in the northern
part, where it overreaches considerably both east
and west. The total area comprises 1887. 800
acres, or over 500, 900 acres more than the area
of the State of Delaware. The nearest route
from Kansas is by way of the Atchson, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad to Caldwell, on the northern
border of the Indian Territory. From that point
a stage road and cattle trail runs down the west
side of the Oklahoma country to Fort Reno
which is about three-fourths of the way down
the western border At that point the road
passes out of the Oklahoma country on its way
to Fort Sill. From Caldwell to the north line of
the Oklahoma country is about sixty miles, the
Salt Fork of the Arkansas river being crossed at
about half the way.
