The following from the
Shelbina Democrat is worth re.
membering:
The State prints $4,000 copies
of the statutes for the benetit OF
100000 people, and requires
that every person know the law
at his peril. 1t is absurd.
How are people to know the
laws when they are not publish.

them. Some Of the ancients
tell of q nation that posted theis
laws so high up that no one
could deciphev them, and then
punched the citizens for viola
