homestead right before its entry.
Appellant contends that the court
erred in refusing to admit the power
of attorney in evidence, and also the
deed executed under it, and insists that
the soldier could assign his additional
homestead right before entry.
The case was argued and submitted.
The decision is waited for with a good
deal of interest as the question in
wolves the title of a good deal of land
in this section of the country.

SOUP Tickets for Barristers

Cold weather at once raises the ques-
ton Of soup" as a warming and nour-
fishing item in winter dietary, whether
supplied in an eleemosynary manner or
out of private funds. 1t is one which
at this moment is again agitating-
as it has done often in past years
the legal intellects of the Old Bailey
where struggling barriSters find that
the soup tickets are falling into the
hands of a select circle, who, by arbi-
trary penalties, seek to keep the need
full nouriShment from those who are
not members of their band.
'Soup" is the technical word for
briefs for the prosecution, which are
distributed by the clerks of the courts
to the barristers whose names are in
scribed on the list, the two or three
guineas which the law allows for this
work being supposed to keep the legal
I gentlemen in food, if not in raiment
between one session and another. For
merly the soups" were scrambled for
at random in a way not altogether
edifying, but latterly the Old Bailey
barristerial mess took their distribution
in hand. They charged each member
one guinea per annum, and this enti-
tied him to "soup" in regular rota-
ton.
But practitioners in the criminal law
rapidly increase, and the mess imposed
an entrance fee of half a guinea. This
did not keep the circle select enough
and they then raised the fee to {
guineas, and furthermore ordered that
no young barrister should have any
soup at all until he had attended
the court for two years. At the Old
Bailey IS notes are not overplentiful
except among the fraudulent bank
rupts who find their way there and are
able to fee queens counsel to defend
them, and few young barristers are
able to live without soup for two
years. The arrangement has raised a
good deal of discomfort among those
who do not know what to do with
themselves during that long probation

Habits and Customs

Man at a very remote period learned
to be initiative, conservative and gre
garious. Hence, habits and customs.
For an act often repeated becomes q
habit, and habit widely initiated be-
comes a custom. Thus habits and Gus
toms form the larger part of the his
tory OF mankind. Could we accurately
Know them, then the ingrained ideas
ana feelings OF the people of the past
would be palpably presented to us.
The growth of action and the lines
OF thoght would be clearly defined
And by starting from primevaI and
savage life to the present, by comma =
ing habit with habit, and custom with
custom, by following their course. their
additions, suppressions, muItilations
and conversions, we should discover
the origin and meaning of many ex-
listing institutions and ideas that would
otherwise have been inexplicable. The
investigation is salutary one b,1t
produces a kind of moral and mental
cold douche. We gasp a little aft first
but are all the stronger for it after,
ward.
Many of our cherished notions that
we have set up as idols are rpdeIv
destroyed. Even our most sacred in
stitutiOns are seen to have a verv
earthly origin. The germ of our glor.
ious Westminster Abbey was conceived

In an interview on the strike pub
lished in last evenings STATE JOURNAL
Governor Lewelling said: $50 far as the
Pullman company is concerned, have
no sympathy for it"
When Governor Lewelling made that
statement he may have forgotten that
the people of the state have access TO
thu records of his administration and
that his record in dealing with the Pull
man company shows that he must have
been actuated by pretty strong sympathy
when he allowed the last assessment of
Pullman property to be made.
Governor Lewelling is not q member
of the state board Of railroad assessors
but is a member of the state board OF
equalization. ano as a member of the
board of equalization he passes upon all
the acts of the assessors, and any action
of the board in which he does not con-
cur he may help to remedy if he chooses
Governor Lewelling and the other
mem bers of his administration showed
their "lack of sympathy for the Pull
man company by reducing the assess
ment Of the Pullman property in Kansas
almost S3 g per cent.
The equalization did not equaIize very
we'll either, as the assessors raised the
assessment Of the common tourist sleep
era There are on an average eight or
ten tourist sleepers that go across the
state In week. The assessment on this
class of cars was raised from $1,000 to
$4,000
The slack of sympathy" was shown
however, for this "heariless corporation"
by the assessment Of the regular Pull
man sleepers. 1t was reduced on these
cars from $4,000 to $4,000 each, and in
stead Of eight or ten crossing the state
In y week, between 25 and 80 cross the

The previous board of railroad asses
sors (Repu blican) learned from the Pull
man company that these first class cars
cost when new $13,5OJ each aud the law
provides that all property must be as
sessed at its actual value.
shat board of assessors was told that
the average life of Pullman car was 10
years and figuring for refurnishinr and
repairs the valuation would be about
Rl,OOO on an average yet they assessed
tie cars but $4,000.
The Populist reform assessors however
possessed "less sympathy and they re-
duced the assessment 70 $4,000
Ihis, too, in the face of the fact that
the Pullman company was the Only cor
poration assessed by the board which
was known to be paying dividends on it's
stock and had allowed its taxes to default
compelling the state to 60 TO the expense
OF an eight years suit IN the courts to
collect back taxes due the state.
