The Georgia Code of Laws.
Ef.onl fhe Netr York Erenfnn poxt

From the NetC York Evening Post.
The Code of Georgia is the only one in the
United States In which the common law
and the principles Of equity are reduced to
series of separate and distinct propositions
having the form and force Of statutes.
Judge Richard II. Clark of Atlanta, the
only surviving member of the commission
which drafted 1t, gives its history in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS number of the Amer
lean LGIO ReuietO. The Code, strange to
say, was constructed on the general plan of
the Code OF Alabama, a state which Judge
Clark calls "the daughter of Georgia" But
when George A. Gordon Of Savannah. who
had examined 18th care the Alabama Code
OF 1852, proposed in November, 1858, to the
Georgia legislature the codifcation Of the
laws or Georgia, he went further em oracir q
In his scheme laws derived from the COM
mon laws and the decisions of the supreme
court OF the state as well as from the
statutes. The code Of 1860, prepared on
this design, was the two years. work OF
David Irwin, Thomas r. r. Cobb, and
Richard 81. Clark. To Mr.. Cobb was as
signed that part which is its distingui shing
feature-the civil code. Judge Clark SAYS
OF him that he possessed an order of mind
which qualified him. il genius and learning
can qualify one, for originating
codes and constitutions for the gov.
eminent OF states. But he adds:
"A COuo Vi laws must De founded
on the developments of time, aud no state
or nation is prepared for code of laws un-
" 1t has gradually enacted series of laws
from which by Harmonious amendments
and alterations a wise system may be
formed" Though Judge Clark asserts that
during the twenty-seven years Of trial the
Code of Georgia has been found adequate
TO every emergency, it may be doubted
whether it has been benefit to the juris-
prudence OF the state. There are others be-
sides the late Robert Toombs who have
doubted its wisdom. The code enacted into
law the decisions OF the state supreme court.
That court was not organized until 1915. 1t
was unhampered by binding precedeuts,
aud consciously adopted policy at war
with the arbitrary and technical principles
which characterized the early common law.
There can be no doubt that this court, il
care had been continually exercised in the
selection of its judges, would in fifty years
have gradually moulded q much more ad-
mlraole system of laws than that struck
OF at heat by the three codifiers of 1860.

We MAY Have Another War.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Behr-
ing sea matter has assumed most
serious phase and public officials make
no attempt to disguise their grave con-
Germ ut the outcome. 1t was developed
to-day that Lord Salisbury's PROPOSE
ton with regard to the present season
was not only To open Behring sea out
side of the thirty mile-zone from Priby-
10y islands to indiscriminate sealing,
but to limit the catch within that belt,
including, of course, the shores of the
islands to 10000 seals. In the Ian
guage of Il prominent official, their
proposition is. "wholly unfair, arro-
CANT, and even insulting to this coun-
try"
Officials of the government believe
that the opening of the sea to the extent
proposed by Lord Salisbury, with so
many poachers at work, would in
evitably lead to the total destruc-
ton of the industry before next
fall, probably before the questions
at Issue could even Ge submitted to
arbitration. 1t may be stated as Il
fact that this government is not ut all
disposed to allow this TO be done with
out making Il vigorous and determined
effort to prevent it. Unless Lord Sal
isbury recedes from his present posi-
ton and consents to the renewal of
last years modus yivendi, restricting
the catch of seals 10 such rs are re-
garded as necessary for the welfare of
the natives, it will be necessary for
this government to undertake alone
the protection of seals by the enforce
ment of laws bearing on the subject
1t is probable that II special meeting
of the cabinet will be held on Monday
for the purpose of considering this
subject and deciding upon IL plan of
action in case of Lord Salisbury's in-
sistance on his last proposition.
