is required of them. Another instance of
ignorance of the law is that shown in the
case where members of the Board of Free
holders have been declared elected on q
plurality vote while the law declares a
majority necessary. In many instances
the provisions of this law were discovered
by accident. Of course we know the
laws are published in pamphlet form, but
they are dealt out very carefully and it is
difficult for even township officials to get
a copy. If one pamphlet is sent to a
township it is thought to be all that is
necessary and to ask for an extra copy is
treated as an impertinence. In the case
of the township and school laws, the edi-
lions were exhausted soon after they were
printed. In instances where laws of this
character are expected to be respected it
does seem as if some provision should be
made to place them in the hands of those
who are amenable to their provisions 1t
is not at all certain that it is advisable to
publish in the papers all of the laws
many of which should never have been
enacted-but where there are statutes
which affect entire communities some
steps should be taken to prevent that ig-
norance of law which is inexcusable.

sYears ago." said a Maine man, 81
was standing beside gun at a state
muster at Augusta when salute to
the governor, who had just come on
the field, was being fired. The cannon
used was of the old fashioned kind,
and it was prematurely discharged,
with the result that the index finger of
the right hand of. the man ramming
the load home was blown OF. The
shock, together with the Judgment of
flying particles of powder, had the eff
feet of driving the blood back from the
wound, during which fragment of time
the injured man calmly examined his
mangled hand, but when the blood did
come back it came with rush and
fairly dubbed out in a torrent. The
mans calmness left him as If by magic
at the sight Of the blood, and, with a
loud scream, he keeled over in dead
faint.
'aThey used to tell story Of two men
who were working on opposite sides of

severed piece dropped on the other
side, where his partner was working.
That worthy picked it up and, with the
casual remark, Bill, you've dropped

WHEN the Legislature decided to abol-
ish the custom of publishing the laws in
the newspapers there was general belief
it would be beneficial to the state treasury
and would not entail much hardship upon
the people. The first part of this predic-
ton has proved correct, but the latter
part is doubtful. Within the past two
weeks two laws have become operative,
with the provisions of which those who
are particularly interested are wofully
ignorant The statutes referred to are
the township law and the school law.
The former was passed a year ago, but
did not go into effect until the 18th of
February of this year. In the meantime
there has been much agitation ON the
question of repeating or modifying Il and
consequently 1t was not studied as it
should have been. Perhaps thisis no ex-
cuse. but it is certain that there are few
township officials who are even vaguely
acquainted with their duties. The school
law is different. 1t was agitated a year
AGO and then laid over until this session
of the Legislature. When it did pass it
was entirely unlike the bin originally in
troduced. It was one Of the last laws to
be enacted, and 1t was ordered to take eff
feet Immediately. The Boards Of Educa-
lion are expected to act under its pro
visions, yet we venture the assertion that
rot one II ten Of those bodies know what
