To my friends in So. Dakota and the
public generally:
| have looked over prospectus Of
"Making of America" and have given
my order for a set of the same without
solicitation. To me it seems to be the
right thing at the right time at the be-
ginning of this our 10Th century.
The editor-in-chief, senator LaFol-
lette, is too we'll and favorably known
for me to attempt adding to his very
enviable reputation, and | am sure
that the 400 contributors comprise the
brains of this nation regarding the
subjects which they treat.
The chart system which is carried
through this set of books, and the ref
erence index, is far superior to any
thing | eve saw Of its kind enabling
one to see results as we'll as read OF
them, which is the more lasting way
of learning.
| know no other work Of this char
acter. or that can take the place OF it,
for a quick and reliable reference, now
in print, and | most heartily recon-
mend it to the clergy, to the editors,
to the law, to the professions and the
scholar generally.
Mr.. Cree, the distributor, and Mr..
Lewis, the solicitor, are both to me
well and favorably known.

HOUSE TO WORK NIGHTS.
Codifcation of Federal Penal Lasus
VII Begin To-day.
[From The TrIhune Rurann.l

Washington May s.-The House viii begin
night sessions Tomorrow night and the great
task of the codihcation OF the penal laws OF the
United States viii be entered upon Usually
night sessions are held only during the closing
days of Congress. but the revision Of the stat
utes Is urgent, and Speaker Cannon gave the
word to start in right away. The House viii sit
from to 1890 o'clock each night. and it is pos
sible that this may continue until well into July,
in case it should be found necessary to prolong
the session
Chairman Moon Of the Committee on the Re-
vision OF the Laws, whose committee has had
charge OF the work which was intrusted to 1t
under the act OF 1897. will make an address to-
morrow night explaining the scope of the COM
mittee's Investigations, and the bill revising and
codlfying the Penal Code will be brought be-
fore the House. to be taken up section by sec
ton. While good deal of debate over the new
phases of the legislation recommended by the
committee is expected, because of the presence
of a large number of lawyers in the House, 1T is
likely that agreement viii be reached TO
confne debate to the most vital questions in
volved. as the members feel that in self-defence
the debate must not be unduly prolonged
through the arguing Of technical points.
The bill for revising the Penal Code consists
of 400 sections and is 25S pages long. 1t could
be read in few evenings if there should be no
debate. but there Will be opportunity for argu-
ment and amendment, and it is feared that the
discussion will last for many weeks
In case the Penal Code should be disposed of
in good order the House will then take up an
other division of the laws-namely, the one thou
sand sections involving the organization of the
government and its various departments Next
the laws relating to the judiciary and the organ
izatiOn of the courts will be taken up, and the
laws involving the army and navy viii follow.
It is not expected that the entire codihcauon
Will be completed for several sessions The
statutes Of the United States have not been re-
Vised since 1873. and since that time more laws
of permanent nature have been passed than
had been passed from the time of the adoption
of the Constitution down to the time of the re-
vision. The laws are scattered through nearly
twenty volumes OF the Statutes at Large. and
are cOmmingled with voluminous of tenn
pOraTy enactments perplexing to the lawyers
and students.
The Pure Food bill has been made a standing
order for consideration by the House at the
night sessions and discussion over this measure
will interrupt the work on the laws.
