most universal appreciation. We think
Mr.. Brandenburg bit oversaguine, but
nevertheless believe that with one or
two exceptions the law ought to meet
with general appreciation.
The fact that about nine-tenths OF the
insolvent debtors who have sought and
obtained relief under the new law are
voluntary petitioners gives some ground
for the opinion that this is an easy"
law, and that one has but to drop into
the bankruptcy hopper today and to be
ground out tomorrow free from all past
legal obligations of every name and
nature. Reports show, however, that a
large percentage OF those taking advan-
tage of the voluntary feature of the law
are old insolvents, many OF whom had
been through the old insolvency courts
of their own states, and have taken ad-
vantage of this opportunity to clear up
their records.
At the same time it must be admitted
that law that permits an insolvent
debtor to go through the bankruptcy
court and obtain his discharge twice
within three years and to appear on file
as a petitioner for third time is far too
easy" to please the average creditor or
to satisfy the demands ofjustice. Again,
in the matter OF preferences, the ruling
that compels a creditor, who receives
payments on his account from time to
time in the regular order of business, to
pay back into the estate of the debtor in
bankruptcy all moneys received by him
within four months preceding the date
the debtor was adjudged bankrupt, be-
fore he can file his claim and share in the
distribution Of dividends with the other
creditors, is maniiestly unfair.
Both these and other weak points in
the law are we'll covered by the amend.
ments proposed by what is known as
the Ray bill and which we hope to see
passed at the next session of congress.
The country is not likely to 60 back to
the old arrangement which allowed
separate bankruptcy law for each one Of
the states, any more than it is likely to
60 back to the old system of state banks.
Strengthen the weak points of the exist.
ing law, but let it stand as whole. 1t
is far easier to amend an imperfect ma
tional bankruptcy law than to secure the
enactment OF any bankruptcy law where
none exists.

The National Bankruptcy Law,

Vermont may not be as deeply inter
ested in bankruptcy as Massachusetts or
New York, but the difference is one of de.
gree only, as our interests are mutual.
The national bankruptcy law has now
been in operation three years. 1t has de.
veloped both strength and weakness in
operation. E. c. Brandenburg, who has
charge Of bankruptcy matters in the De
partment oiJustice at Washington, ex
presses the opinion that with one or two
exceptions, the law is meeting with al

From an article in the Army and Navy
Journal, on the report on the Philippine
commissary frauds, we CLEAN some facts
of interest: 1t was on the initiative of
Col. Woodruff's Office that the investiga-
ton was begun. Two officers were tried
and convicted, 1912 worth of bacon be.
ing involved in their misdemeanor
Three commssary sergeants misappro
priated $S29.75 worth of property
these three bore for twenty years most
honorable records, and were in charge o.
warehouses containing stores to the
value of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. The charge against Col. Woodruff
that he was occupying free house fur
nished by a contractor, was shown tc
be absolutely false, as the Colonel was
paying regular rent for the same. Nc
illegal purchases of champagne were
made, and the report discovers nothing
scandalous about the business manage
ment which had to do with the buyinl
OF champagne, without the use of which
1t is averred, many a soldier, today aliv
and well, would be resting in metallic
lined caskets." The report will be c

But cannot take your beauty when he goes
