There is much comment over the
socialist vote in the late contests in
Chicago and Milwaukee particularly.
The vote in each OF these two cities
was surprisingly large and the press
and politicians are wondering what
1t means. The socialist vote Is Sig
nificant of but one particular fact
and that is, the people are loosing
their heads in chasing after Ideal
dreams. II Ia clear these visionary
voters, who harm only themselves
need to do more serious thinking
than they have been INDUCING in.
This is government OF the people
and 1t will so continue. and sound
principles and not fallacies will ever
have sway.

LAWYERS AND LAWMA1iING.
(OWensboro Inquirer


A recent plea has been made for
the slmplification of the legal IAN
guage, to deprive ii of its circumlo-
cutions, and reduce its technical YER
biage to plain Anglo-Saxon, so that
the way-faring man, though fool,
may understand it. These sonorous
Latin terms and devious of proceed
ure are a heritage from the early
Anglo-Norman courts, which by en-
shrouding the real meaning of the
law in a cloak of obscurity, have
tended to make it more difficult OF
comprehension, and to inspire ordi-
nary people with an awe of its pro-
fundity. If shorn of technicalities
and put in plain everyday terms
no law should be beyond tho compre-
hension of the average man.
The above thought is emphasized
by the manner of procedure and en-
actment of laws in our lawyer-ridden
congress where legislation is retard-
ed by devotion to forms and prece-
dents. A measure may be desirable,
and fit the necessity that calls IL
forth. but 1t is banded by the other
$50 members in the house, and sent
to the senate where the 80 wise men
try to improve it, with the result
that when It goes back to the house
with the various amendments tagged
on to IL II would be a wise parent
indeed who knows his own offspring.
One of the defects of the compost
tion of our congress is the FREEDOM
nance of lawyers in both branches.
In the house of representative out
of $50 members. 239 are lawyers.
while fifty out of ninety senators also
belong to the legal profession.
The English look at a preponder-
ance OF lawyers in parliament as un-
desirable. As is well known, mem
bers of parliament receive no salary.
and one of the arguments against 1t
is that zone certain outcome would
be large increase in parliament of
glib INSCRIPTIONS young lawyers,
anxious to use parliament as step
ping stone to their own achieve
ment"
This does not mean that lawyers
are less desirable than any other pro-
fession, but the fact is that an as
sembly making laws for nation
should represent every class of peo
pie. instead of over half of each
great body being of the legal pro-
feSsion.
This preponderance of lawyers has
a natural tendency even with the
highest aim in view, to clothe meas
ures in so-called legal language. I'M
til the enactors themselves cannot
tell whether they are constitutional
or not.
The question of the number of
lawyers in our national legislative
body would not appear so important
were it not that the most eminent Of
the profession today seem to devote
their best efforts to showing their
clients how they may safely break
the laws and illustrating the old say
ing, fools make laws, and wise men
break them"

CASH IN HEART IS
MENDED; Man LIVES
Pulsating Organ Removed from
Body and sewed Up
It Beats.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service. --.,-. .-s.' e.. -
Philadelphia, June 11.-For over
forty minutes the pulsating heart Of
William Wyatt was held in the hands
Of two physicians at the Pennsylvania
hospital Saturday night while DR.. Rich
ard Hart, hospital surgeon, sewed six
stitches in the organ and then replaced
it in the body. Wyatt, who was at
first thought to have been fatally cut,
is reported to be resting comfortably,
and the physicians say they have every
reason to believe that the patient will
recover. It was the third time such
an operation has been performed in the
city.
Wyatt and a friend were scuf1ing
for possession of long knife when the
former slipped and fell on its point.
DR.. Hart made an incision in Wyatt g
left side long. enough TO put his hand
thru and, taking out the heart, placed
It upon the palms Of his two assistants
and there it lay, throbbing vigorously
as It sent the blood coursing thru the
arteries.
Examination showed that the knife
had inflicted wound on the ergan
an inch and quarter long. In order
that the hearts action should not be
interfered with, 1t was necessary for
the surgeon to make stitches between
pulsations. When the operation was
concluded the organ was put back in
its proper place. :.

mencement of the repatriation Of the
troops who took part in the war with

interior of the country. .
The most stringent precautions were
observed during the whole period in or
der to prevent the slightest intercourse
between the returning troops and the
townspeople, in consequence Of fears Of
nlutinous demonstrations, as it was un
deniable that the troops coming home
were largely disaffected.

pressed the opinion that if parliament
