THE QUAKER AND THE BIKE

It was a quiet Quaker who. lured
by wiles of sin.
Looked on the shining wheel until
the siren roped him in.
He parted with his gold 10 get the
thing of perfect grace.
But. oh. he fell from it and pushed
the pavement out Of place.
It turned his nerves all inside out,
il twisted all his bones.
1t slammed him On the earth until
il cracked the cobblestones.
Full oft. alas, il knocked him down
and danced upon his neck
Until the pioUs Quaker was a weep
sy wopsy wreck.
Oh, patience is a goodly thing. but
twas a sorry test
When he beheld his leg was through
the armhole Of his vest
OF what he said you ask us why
we DO not give d hint
Because he never spoke a word we
dare to put ii print.

Speaking of the new bankruptcy bill,
now before Congress, Hon. Robt. w
hughes, Judge OF the United states
Court for the Eastern District Of Vir-
Slnla, said: The constitution Of the
United States forbids any law impair-
ing tle obligation OF contract and there
iorc no State can pass a bankruptcy
law The object of such Il law is to re-
lease the debtors from liability for their
contracts 1t IS, therefore, peculiarly in
he power OF Congress to pass such Il
law.
'''rhe scope of II bankruptcy law is to
allow debtor, by surrcnderinG All his
property, to be released from further Oh
legation for his debt. We talk about
states passing bankruptcy laws but
such expressions are idle for the reason
that laws so passed would be null and
void.
The depression Of business which has
prevailed for some time renders Il bank
ruptcy law necessary and l have no
doubt but that Congress will pass one
The administration OF such law
passed by Congress could not be dele
gated TO the State courts. but would
have to be done under the Federal iur-
isdiction. It's passage would conse-
quently entail upon the Federal courts
