NO TEST EVER MADE.

When Mr.. Ommen asked If he thought
the bonds OF which he spoke could be made
binding he replied that he never knew Of any
instance in which the city tried to prosecute
on the forfeiture OF such a bond.
According to Magistrate c. G. T Wahle, the
Good Behavior Bond act is a menace to the
peace simply because Of its harmlessness
Though IL may have some moral force, never
theless he believes its weakness is known to
most offenders. and is treated by them as
joke.
"One OF the evils of this farcical statute"
said the magistrate lis the way IL profits the
professional bondsman. He knows when he
swears 10 a good behavior bond that he runs
risk. He is sure Of his fee, and also sure OF
not losing anything. Another wrong that 1t
works IS the disrespect il is likely to cause the
offender 70 have for the court On learning
that this class OF bonds is sham he is prone
to believe that all legal obligations are so much
bluff and that the law itself is farce"
''And is IL a fact that the city never tries to
prosecute on these bonds?" it was asked.

Adams, State revenue agent by the Su-

while operating on capital stock Of

stockholders, and the remainder was to
be paid in the form Of four notes due at

stepped in at that juncture iand sought
to assess the bank with 100000 in
