Wholesale Repeal.

PrattVlIIe Progfess.
 The next legislature should with one omnibus bill" repeal about 90 per cent of the laws. make the other 10 per cent so plain and simple that any justice of the peace can understand them, then give the magistrates more jurisdiction and then adjourn with prayer. We need legislators who know how to repeal laws instead of make laws; men who know how to simplify instead of com plicate laws. If we can get legisla- ture of this kind 1t would deserve a monument to Its memory.
