The ignorance sometimes displayed
by eminent jurists of plain provisions
OF the law is almost or quite amusing.
We remember not long ago to have
READ the story of Justice OF the Su-
preme Court of one of the States who
was requested by a member OF the
Legislature to draw up an important
hill for him. The Judge did SO and
the hill became a law. but not long
afterward there was a suit involving
the constitutionality of the act, and
when 1t reached the Supreme Court
the Judge who drew up the bill de-
ciared it unconstitutional
This may be an extreme case, but it
shows that the Judge who drew up the
bill was so intent on having It express
just what the member of the Legisla-
ture desired that he failed to note the
fatal defect that rendered 1t void. An
other case in point is set out in this
special from Philadelphia in contem-
porary:
The omission of the names of sub
scrfbing witnesses from the will of
chief Justice Edward NJ. Paxson Of the
supreme Court OF Pennsylvania, who
devised large portion of his landed
property for the establishment OF an
makes null and void that provision for
such an institution. Under the law.
all Wills containing charitable be-
quests must contain the signatures of
Subscribing witnesses. The omission,
however, will not AFFECT the other pro-
visions Of the will.
Any one would suppose that the Chief
Justice of q great State like Pennsyl-
E1nia would be sufficiently familiar
with the law in all it's forms to draw
up q valid will, yet this one failed in
very important point and when dis
posing of his own property. He knew
just what he wanted to do with his
estate, and to whom he wished to devise
1t, yet he failed to take note of vital
point in the law and that failure nulli-
aed a portion OF his bequest. And
speaking of Pennsylvania laws on the
subject, we ind this other example
in The Philadelphia Record:
The law governing the making of
wills IN Penpsylvania does not recog,,
less than one month prior to the testa-
A brother of John wanamaker-wil-
liam H. by name, and wealthy mer-
chant, recently died, leaving a will too
recently executed to fill the require
ment: and the estate will go through
the probate court and be distributed ac-
cording to lava pretty good way in
most cases. The principal objection to
IL IL that the law does not provide for
charitable or other special requests.
The account does not say by whom the
will was. drawn, but as Mr.. wanamaker
was a wealthy and prominent citizen. 1t
Is presumable that he employed a good
lawyer to write it for him, but that
didn't save 1t from the waste basket.
These three instances show how even
the most learned lawyers and Judges
may fail to observe all the nice intri-
cacies of the laws of their own State.
No wonder laymen fail to understand
them.

According to table compiled by The
London National Review, the total an
nual expenses of England for the three
items of army, navy and debt charge"
is in round numbers $433,0Oo,0oo. Ger

per cent. more, pays only half as much,
and the United States. with double the
population of England. expends nearly
twenty per cent. less for the three

his report of Mr.. Corners speech at

man. We think that he answers fully
every point that has been raised. and
that deductions and inferences drawn

while not specifically mentioning any.
he left 1t plain enough for any and all
to understand that he wanted that sort
