in bottles, so cents; in tubes IS cents.

LEGISLATIVE CRANKS.

While Kansas is well up in the front
in freak legislation, she has not reach
ed the climax. New York has that
honor. The Kansan who proposed
to enact the ten commandments into
the state law was not so far adyanc-
ed as the two gentlemen who are
pushing measure in the New York
Legislature establishing a censorship
| over the press of the state. This bill
provides that the governor shall ap-
point censOrs, whose duty it shall be
to read and pass upon all matter pre-
pared for publication, killing" such
as does not conform with statutory re-
quirementS. The righteousness of
the proposal does not destroy some Of
| its humorous features. The cenSOrs
are to be paid One-half by the state
and the other half by the papers. This
is a direct incentive to political men,
dacity on the part of every paper in
the state. The candidate for COVER
nor who pledged himself to appoint
the prOprietOrs or others designated
| by them to dicharge these duties
would doubtless receive the warm
support of the press. But suppose
this to be prohibited by the law. The
big dailieS, employing small armies
of men in the preparation of editorial
and news matter, will find their salary
lists increased say 25 per cent. for it
| is absurd to suppose that less num-
Der of censOrs than necessary to make
this increase would be thought of.
| ptrt
| "all alone by themselves" in this re-
spect, for every day brings forward
new evidences of legislative insanity.
A Chicago paper has grouped some Of
| them:
Bills aimed against theatre hats,
cigarettes and football have literally.
| become too numerous to mention"
A Massachusetts soIon asks for a
salaried state board to examine black
smiths; North Dakota proposes to IL
cense BARRIERS; an Indiana man has a
project to tax whiskers: .Massachu-
sets also wants all chiropodists to
pass state examination; Michigan
and Missouri propose to tax bachelors,
and a Missouri legislator has also in
trOduced bill to punish every widow
or unmarried woman who refuses an
| honorable offer OF marriage by heavy
fine. Minnesota comes forward with
a bill to prevent women from sending
| flowers to criminals. Missouri wants
to fine railway hands S25 for flirt-
| ing with women passengers, and Ne
braska asks that all bulls horns shall
| be removed when the animals are two
years old Michigan and Indiana de-
mand that the bill of fare shall be
printed in English only, and a measure
was recently introduced in the Indiana
Legislature making it a misdemeanor
to wear squeaking boots to church.
Oklahoma has tried legislation against
| boomers, Kansas against cOrsets. and
Alabama against shirt waists. This
country may or may not be "the hOmN
Of the brave" but it certainly is fast
becoming the land Of the freak.-Den-
