COMMON SENSE AND THE LAW


The supreme court of Ohio has
gwen a musty and time honored ira
4ifion of the law an impertinent jostle.
IL has held that in certain circum-
stances ignorance of the law may be an
excuse
The case decided was one against a
board Of county commissioners charged
with irregularity in awarding bridge
contracts 1t was shown that there was
Eao intent to commit an illegal act, the
commissioners being unfamiliar with
some of the provisions of the law re-
garding bridge contracts. The court
ruled in favor of the commissioners.
many cases the plea of ignorance would
aot have weight, as for instance in the
commission of burglary the burglar
could not come into court and say he
did not know burglary was against the
law.
= Common sense as applied OF the dis
tlnction between right and wrong
should be the basis of law. The aver
Ige person has prpetty clear idea Of
whether what he does is right or not,
and il he does something his conscience
or his common sense tells him is not
right he does 1t with the knowledge
sghat he is violating law. But in cases
where an arbitrary act of a legislature
ar some other lawmaking body defines
violation Of its provisions as an Of
tense it seems to us ignorance could
Justly be pleaded A city council may
pass an ordinance making it illegal for
a farmer to come into the corporation
and sell his wares without paying a
aicense The farmer may sell. be ar
rested and convicted, but he should not
ne punished as he could have no
knowledge that he was doing wrong.
Ignorance of the law in such a case
should be complete justification.
The decision of the Ohio court seems
wise and broad. 1t encourages inter-
spretation of the law by the spirit as
'sreli as by the letter, something that Is
all too rare.

The Demand for Worthless Jobs
Chicago Tribune.)

NNAhSo6o AiicuhS'(
Private employers in Chicago have
ceased invariably to respond to the de-
mands upon them for higher pay.
fewer hours. There has to be a point
at which work must bear some sort of
relation to remuneration. There can
not always be a reduction Of labor and
an increase of compensation. II the
changes were to continue in both di-
rections production would ultimately
reach the vanishing point and employ
ers would find themselves in the incon-
venient position Of paying out money
for which they received nothing in re-
turn. The almost obsolete wage fund
would be abolished and the vision of
dreamers who expect to get large pay
for doing nothing in particular would
be fully realized.
Since private employers have found
it to be impossible to meet importunate
demands upon them and at the same
time maintain competition with pro-
dueers elsewhere working under more
favorable conditions, it, has occurred
to some brilliant minds that if munich
pal corporations can be brought into
the game all may still be WELL If the
municipalities can be induced to take
over the control of public utilities they
will have less power of resistance
against excessive demands upon them
for voorhees, jobs. If economic argu-
ments do not prevail with municipal
authorities political arguments often
will. A strike skiilfully arranged be-

trains the inhabitants of Hyde Park
will be known no more. No more will
the jurisdictions Of the justices overlap
one another in pleasing confusion. No
more will justice courts be coyly hid
den down alleys and up over saloons,
so as to provide litigants with a little
hare and hounds exercise. The new
system wipes all justice courts and
police courts out Of existence and fills
the consequent gap with a Common
Pleas court which is neatly and con-
sistently organized. The newspapers
are called on to sacrifice one Of their
most iridescent departments.
The Common Pleas court will have
chief justice. 1t will also have TWEEN
ty-four or perhaps thirty assistant
judges. These judges will assume all
of justices of the peace and OF police
magistrates. But they will at the same
time be elevated to a position equiva-
lent to that of the judges Of the circuit
and superior courts.
This arrangement is elastic but sim
pie. The chief justice Of the Common
Pleas court will have two distinct
fields to which he may assign his as
sistants. He may send them out into
the city courts or he may keep them
in the Common Pleas court itself. The
trials now held in justice courts and in
the police courts will most of them
naturally pass over to the city courts
The first duty Of the chief justice OF
the Common Pleas court will be tC
maintain an adequate number OF city
courts and to see that the business OF
those court is transacted promptly. Il
he fails here his failure will be com.
