NO LEGAL KNOWLEDGE.
women In General Are WofuIIy De-
hcient in Understanding
of the Law.

4 compulsory legal education law
for women was the suggestion of Miss
Harriet 4. Kcyser at a recent meeting
of the Legislative League in the Tux
edo. Miss Kcyser deplored the igno-
rance of women regarding their own
standing. reports the New York Trib,
une. Men as we'll as women she has
found sadly wanting in knowledge
where wills are Concerned, and be
lieved that natural Incidence is at the
bottom of it, although she admitted
that everything about the law is tire
some. One woman said the lawyers do
not know it all. She never feels safe
on a legal question until she has con-
suited at least 10 members of the bar.
Mrs. Lille DevereauX Blake. who
presided, said that there are still %
states in which women have no right
to their own children. Illinois and
Connecticut have. within year or so,
been added to the number of those
where the mother owns her child
Mrs. Blake believed that the root and
groundwork of woman's oppression al
it existed so years and more ago was
the eating of the historic apple by
Duke who Praises His Cook.
The duke of Cambridge is the only
member of the royal family who
employs a woman cook, and no one
appreciates hew very admirable cook
ing more than his royal highness.
The duke frequently shows his ap-
probation of her culinary efforts in
a very practical way, and before now
has been known, after dinner
which has particularly pleased him.
TO go straight away to the kitchen
and in few kind words offer his
congratulations to his cook.

MERcEKs OMNIBUS BILL.

Congressman MERGERS omnibus build
ing bill has passed both houses of con
gress and is now in the hands Of the
president. The bill carries over eighteen
million dollars Of appropriations for
public building sites and construction
I'm towns and cities scattered over the
entire county.
The patent for the omnibus feature of
the hill belongs to MFR. Mercer. The in
vention was for the first time introduced
two years ago Oh a moderate scale and
has already expanded into colossal pro-
portions.
From the standpoint of the public well
fare it is most pernicious and danger
Gus. 1t is a merger on a community-of-
interest plan of the public building
schemes and real estate deals with the
deliberate design to dump all the pork
into one barrel and roll the barrel
through both houses with a whoop-la.
For more than 100 years every bill APP
propriating money for federal buildings
had to stand or fall upon its own merits.
w AlthtNtl any sum LCuCAai buiiuAlB up
preparation was in the judgment of the
president in excess Of public needs
or tainted with jobbery, the presi-
dent was free to defeat it with
his veto pen. The merger of the
public building appropriations In one
omnibus bill forces the president to
approve the bill as a whole or take the
responsibility for defeating all the meri-
torious items in the omnibus. Although
Nebraska has not Jared badly in the
deal, Mr.. MERGERS innovation is to be
deprecated as tending to extend the
field for legislative trades and jobs that
must demoralize congress and degrade
our representatives to the level of spoils
brokers.
IL anything emphasizes the necessity
for a speedy revision of the federal con-
~stitution to safeguard the treasury from
such raids it is the Mercer public build
ing merger, which was heretofore rank
enough when confined to the river and
harbor bill. In every state Of the union
under modern constitution the chief ex-
ecutive can veto any separate item Of
each appropriation, The president can-
not exercise that power. 1t is impera-
tive that such power be conferred upon
him at the earliest possible moment
either by specific amendment of the
constitution or by a general revision
through a national constitutional con-
yention.

In all but eleven Of the ffty-two states

NJ Bryan had $50 persons to hear him

by actual count in Nashville, although the
American reporter was liberal and gave
him 500. Several months ago he offered
to lecture at Union City and he had less
than eighty in his audience. He refused
to lecture and refunded the few persons
their money. Mr., Bryan's audiences are
dwindling over the country. still he
manages to pick up several dollars at the
business. He is working the mine for all

GIVING AWAY INDIAN LANDS.
Crooked Schemes Baked by the vigil
lance of the President.

IHlldutiphid INSCOiu.
Delay in afixing the executive signature
to the Indian appropriation bill has re-
suited only In directing public attention to
the legislative methods employed in sad
ding upon this item of the public
budget all sorts Of schemes for private
advantage. The bill is now a law, al
though not, Il is to be trusted, without
some sort of assurance that the tricks and
devices to which the president objected
shall not be renewed in subsequent ap-
preparation bills. The great west is rap
idly filling up. Its mineral wealth on
Indian reservations is known to many
shrewd spectators and energetic pros
~pectors, who have In recent years sought
refuge in the Indian bill when pressed or
hampered by the present statutory limita-
lions of their holdings.
II this sort Of thing is to continue I'M
checked the annual act making approprl-
atoms for the Indian department must be-
come eventually a cloak for public scandal.
When valuable concessions are to be
granted to mining companies and other
corporate enterprises in the Indian reser-
vations the authorization should be by
special enactment and not hidden away in
a clause of a general appropriation bill.
The particular instance to which OBJ
lection was made by the executive-the
parceling out OF the Uintah reservation
is but a type OF legislation likely to be-
come all too familiar at Washington unless
| checked at the outset. This reservation is
in the northeastern section of Utah, a
broad and fertile valley surrounded by
mountain peaks and terraoed hills in
which rich mineral deposits are stored
away. Many mineral leases have already
been obtained from the Indians and numer-
Gus mining corporations have been or
gained TO work rich fields Of valuable
deposits. Under the clause OF the Indian
bill referred to these companies may pros
pect at will for minerals for a year and
a half. and thereafter may locate under the
mining laws a square mile-64O acres-of
contiguous mineral land. In the meantime
each Uintat Indian is to'receive from forty
to eighty acres OF agricultural lands with
about $40, 900. less expenses. to compensate
the tribe for mineral wealth that would
purchase an empire.

principle has been completely falsifed in
practice, and the rare instances in which
men like Senator Hoar defy a party policy
would be just as likely to meet with toler-
ance from the people as from a legislative
caucus.
Against the wholly imaginary evil of the
change are to be set divers benefits of great
importance. 1t would free us from the pur-
chase of seats by bribery Of legislatures,
from long legislative deadlocks which waste
the peoples time and money to no good
purpose, and from a connection between
national and local politics which is both
illogical and demoraliZing. with the cleo
ton Of senators out of the way legislat-
lures could tend strictly to legislative bust
ness, and their member would be chosen
with no other object in view, to the great
improvement of state and municipal poll
ties.
A reform that counts for so much can
not be discredited by irreIevent talk con-
corning the %demagogy Of the house.

TIE LAT.

Very earnest efforts are being made
by certain business interests to secure
amendments to the bankruptcy law, the
measure for this purpose known as the
Ray bill being much favored. A large
delegation Of eastern business men was
in Washington a few days ago seeking
to have a special rule made for consid-
Grafton of the bill and urging the i'm
%portance of action at the present ses-
sion. Speaker Henderson, however,
would promise nothing more definite
than that the bill would be duly consid-
cred. It was understood that he favored
the measure and desired its adoption,
but he was not disposed to give any
assurance that it would be taken III at
the present session.
There Is opposition to the bill in the
south and west, some Of the representa-
tlves from these sections being in favor
of the repeal of the bankruptcy law, but
it is not believed that the number desir-
ing repeal is formidable. Whatever OBJ
j~ections there may be to the law as 1t
stands, 1t is not easy to understand how
any one who has given intelligent atten-
ton to the matter can wish the law re-
pealed and II return to Ii old order of
things. Experience with the operation
of the law has demonstrated that some
changes in 1t are necessary, but the best
opinion is that On the whole 1t has
worked well and that 1t would be a very
great mistake to abandon it and go back
to reliance upon the various state laws,
which no one pretends were generally
fair and just in their operation.
A Washington dispatch of a few days
ago says that there are not many mem
bers of congress who are willing to take
so extreme a stand as this, but most of
them think that the law should be
amended and that the Ray bill provides
the required changes. 1t appears evil
dent that it is a question of choice be-
tween that measure and a repeal of the
law. No less than five bills have been
introduced during the present session
providing for the repeal of the law, II
while there is some uncertainty as to
now tue COuleSI VIII lulh Oul1 ~ SCNhhS
most improbable that the demand for
repeal will succeed. The present bank
ruptcy law was enacted in response to
the earnest solicitation of a very large
majority of the business interests of the
country represented in commercial
bodies. For years congress was petit
toned to pass such a law, as being
necessary to the proper protection of
both creditors and debtors. No lay on
the statute books received more careful
consideration or more thorough discus
sion. 1t is not perfect, but its defects
can be remedied and this should be done.
If the law were repealed there would in
a few years be as general and earnest
an appeal to congress to enact another
bankruptcy law as there was before the
present act was passed.
