It is told of Bishop Williams of Con-
necticut, for many years presiding
bishop of the Episcopal church in
America, who lived all his life bache-
lor, that he was talking one day with a
young man from the west about a tax
a western state was trying to impose
on bachelors, the tax to be increased a
certain per cent for every ten years of
bache1orhood.
"Why, bishop said the young man,
sat your age you would have to pay
about 500 year"
'Well," said the bishop quietly and
in his old time yernacular, tits with
it." - -.

Briggs, cashier for w. Simon & Co, of
Neenah, was robbed of drafts. money
orders and other papers valued at $3,-
600 on train somewhere between this

The theft was SO cleverly accomplished
that the young woman did not discov-

in Oshkosh, where she was to deposit
the papers.
The drafts were in an envelope
which she had placed in a chatelaine
bag suspended from her belt, but when
or how the robbery was accomplished
she has not the slightest idea. The
bank has been notified to stop payment
on the checks and drafts.

a daughter in the office with him, but
will maintain his family otherwise in

The business in the treasurers office
at present is mainly routine. Some
taxes are coming, though March is the

Where the Law Is Interpreted.

The attorney generals office and that
of secretary of state have suffered the
most changes, the former being a
completely changed staff. However,
it is an exceptionally able contingent
now in the saddle. Mr.. Sturtevant

semblyman from Neilsville, and his
distinction, too as a very able lawyer.
His assistants include new attorney
to Madison named Corrigan, from
Plainfeld, said to be an exceptionally
intelligent and diligent law worker.
In this office, too, is Mr.. Tucker for
merly known as an educator; and the
assistant secretary of state is Judge

gentleman made a success of presiding
over the state convention.

Every Insurance Agent Pays.

One of the regulations that may sur
prise some is tax of ST on every
agent, moreover on every line he car
ries. Thus, three partners, who deal
in fire, life, liability, marine, tornado,
and plate glass insurance, must pay
the department a total of $1S and pay
it every year. This, presumably, is
paid by the companies and is well
come revenue to the state, though how
effective in protecting insurance inter
ests might be subject for discussion.

In Mr. Houser's Department..

The secretary of states office under
the old regime was regarded as stall
wart nest; but certainly it has been
severely broken up. Two or three
familiar faces are there Of the score
and more, and one or two of these are
being let down easy, it is said. Such
is the penalty of politics. 1t was an
anomaly that the governors and the
secretary OF states office, directly op-
posite, should be so antagonistics as
they were formerly. 1t must have been
embarrassing, as they often had bust
ness to do together. But at last the
stalwarts have been wiped out to a
man. Mr.. Houser has considerable
knowledge of state affairs through his
long clerkship in the senate and other
experience. He has bright men around
him, and 10 doubt details of his busy
and important Office will be accurately
looked for.

THE LAWS DELAYS.

Francis Rawle of Philadelphia, the president
of the American Bar Association, echoed' III us
address at the Hot Springs meeting last Week.
Justice David J. Brewers recent complaint that
the laws delays are being unduiy aggravated
in criminal cases. President RaWle clted TWO
State acts PASSED within the year which In MS
opinion tended to make our criminal justice
even more hating and Ieaden footed. New
Jersey had provided that its Supreme court
or any Justice thereof might, at the instance OF
any person indicted remove into that court any
pending indictment. In Pennsylvania 1t was
decreed that where defendant had been con-
victed of murder in the first degree he might
petition the Supreme Court, supported by after
discovered evidence and if that court was of
the opinion that there was substantial doubt
as TO guilt it might grant rule for new trial
and direct the trial court TO hear that rule
These may be considered" said Mr.. Rawle,
las acts passed for the purpose Of delaying the
administration of criminal justice ana OF
bringing it into disrepute. They are contrary
ito the traditions of common law and, l be-
'Fieve. TO the best judgment of the profession
Then he cited the similar and even stronger
protests against appeals in criminal cases ut
tered by Justice Brewer.
Warnings like these surely deserve some
measure of public consideration. Is not our
legal practice being Wrenched from us true puT-
pose through this constant effort to make new
IoophOles for the criminal who can afford the
luxury of stays appeals and writs Of error?
Our criminal machinery has lost its terrors in
many States 10 men bold enough and powerful
enough 10 fight out ana annul its verdicts.
When a man like James Butler can be con-
victed in Missouri Of bribery and corruption,
and then postpone indefinitely his term of pun
ishment criminal justice is. as Mr.. Rawle says,
brought into disrepute, and a community's
power to correct the evils which undermine it is
seriously weakened.
Do we not overvalue individual security and
give too little heed TO the security and dignity
of society? We cannot but think it better to
surrender the individual safeguard of repeated
and dilatory criminal appeals than to allow
public confidence in the promptitude and In
errancy of criminal justice to he fatally shaken.
