THE LAW OF CONTRACTS.

The law of contracts lies at the foun-
dation of nearly every branch of the
law. 1t is, therefore, the first and most
important subject not only for the law
student, who is studying law for the
purpose of practicing, but for the lay
man, who wants to understand in a
general way his legal rights and obli-
cations.
We are making contracts day by
day, usually unconscious of the fact
When | hail street car and it stops
for me and l step aboard, / enter in
to contract with the corporation that
owns and operates the car for breach
of which l am liable in damages, as is
the corporation. Every time / buy
something in a store, no matter wheth-
er it be steam engine or pin, am
making a contract. In hiring servants
and agents, in renting and subletting
property, in buying provisions for my
table, in buying tickets for an enter
tainment-in fact, in almost every act
that is purely social in its nature, / am
entering into a contract Indeed, bust
siness is but another name for the
making and executing of contracts.
The Importance, therefore, of ones
knowing at least the general princi-
pies of contracts is evident.
Some persons use the words "agree
ments" and contract" as synonymous,
that is, as meaning the same thing. A
contract is always an agreement, either
expressed or understood, but an agree
ment is not always a contract. l may
make an agreement with you to spend
the evening at your home, but that
agreement is not a contract. ] am
bound by the rules of etiquette and
good morals to fulfill the agreement,
but l not bound by the law to fulfill
it, and in case do not fulfill it, am
not bound by the law to suffer damages
by reason of my failure; nor could you
go into a court and compel me to full
fill it.
Therefore, one distinction between a
contract and an agreement is that the
former is an agreement enforcible at
law, that is, an agreement that the law
will either compel me to perform, or
will compel me to pay damages for

In the death of Susan B. Anthony
the world loses truly great woman
and the cause of woman suffrage it's
foremost and by all odds its ablest ad.
vocate. Miss Anthony made the ad-
vocacy of woman suffrage her life
work and breathed her last with that
thought uppermost in her mind, yea,
even when in the depths of the dark
river. She was the subject of ridi-
cule and taunts for years but never
wavered from her purpose, and al
though she suffered numerous defeats,
she also had successes. While pos
sessing womanly qualities of the high.
est order she had masculine intellect
and courage and never shirked a con.
test and outlived the sneers and
taunts of opponents. She ever had the
elevation of her sex in her heart, and
was respected and revered for her
many sterling qualities. Her passing
although she had attained a ripe old
age, is sincerely mourned not only in
this country but wherever the Eng
fish language is spoken.

OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS.

The Brown School Teachers Agen-
cy recently issued very neat and ar
tistic booklet presenting valuable in
formation in regard to the public
schools of the western educational di-
vision of the United States comprising
Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,
Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
and California and the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona. In this di-
vision there are employed 2S,476 teach
ers who receive in salaries a total of
$14, 473,0S5 annually.
Teachers salaries are higher in the
west than in any other part of the
United States. More trained, efficient
teachers are badly needed in the west
where good teaching is appreciated
The demands for such exceeds the sup
ply.
The Brown school booklet gives val
liable information about the salaries
paid teachers in each of the states
named above, the qualifications re-
quired by the boards of education, the
climatic conditions which obtain in the
west generally and great amount of
data interesting not only to teachers
put to all who are interested in edu-
cational matters. 1t Is a valuable
book for references and is so con-
densed that the information sought
can be seen at a glance.
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1906-03-17

promises, and the promise of each is
a consideration for the promise of the
other.
Sometimes it is not an easy matter
to determine whether the contract has
a consideration or not. 1t should be
understood that where one is already
bound in the law to do certain thing,
his promise to do that thing is not a
sufficient consideration to support
contract.
Suppose, that for instance, that you
owe me hundred dollars and the debt
is overdue. l say to you, IF you will
pay me the hundred dollars you owe
me, will give you the rent of house
free for a month" Depending on my
promise, you pay me the hundred dol
lars, and I refuse to give you the
house. Am I justified in law in refus-
ing? What is the consideration for
my promise to give you the house free
for month? 1t is the doing by you
of something that you are already
bound to do; therefore the law says
there is no legal consideration, and it
will not compel me to let you have the
house.
Suppose that you have minor child
rem and you do not support them, as
in law you are bound to do, giving
them food, shelter, medicine, and edu-
cation such as is reasonable consid-
ering your abilities, etc. / say to you,
''If you will treat your children for a
year as you are bound in the law to
treat them, 1 will give you five hundred
dollars" You accept the arrangement
and provide your children with cloth
ing, medicines, education, etc., as in
law you are bound to do, and then ask
me for the five hundred dollars, and
refuse to give it to you. You bring
suit against me. My lawyer in court
pleads that you were in law already
bound to do the things which you
promised to do. The court agrees with
him, and the case is dismissed.
You start to build a house for me,
under contract to complete it for a
certain amount. Before you finish it,
you find you are going to lose money.
You say, Il will not finish it unless you
pay me $500 more" l make prom
Use to do so, and you finish the house.
The question arises as to whether l
am bound to pay the extra price that
have promised. In good morals
may be bound to; in law, am not.

especially emphatic in his declarations
that the Mormons were obeying the
law in regard to marital affairs and
chat the church was out of politics.
Now he says another fellow who made
in a much milder form similar state
nents, should be in Jail for making
hose statements.

The Tribune devotes considerable
space to show that Councilman Fern
strom was formerly the leader of nu-
merous caucuses in which few men,
bers of the city council decided on
matters of great Importance to the
city and that the measures decided
upon were put through the council in
summary fashion in accordance with
the decisions of the caucuses. This
the Tribune thinks is sufficient justi-
ilcation for those of the present ad-
ministration who also rule by caucus.
In other words two blacks make a
