"A prominent writer says this of
the law: Laws are written so
they can be interpreted any old
way, according to the amount of
monev played in the game. Who
knows the law? Not the lawyers,
for the ones on each side say the
law favors their clients; not the
justices of the peace, for the court
above reverses shis decisions; not
the court above for the Judge re-
verses the decision of the lower
Judge, whose decision in turn is
reversed by the judge above and so
on. Say, it's the finest three card,
thimbled- rugged affair ever invent
ed. But who knows the laws?"
