CONTRACTS.
Y. THE STATUTE or FRAUDS.

IT seems strange that there was time
when contracts Of any and all kinds
could be made by word Of mouth and
that consequently oral evidence was per.
united n the courts TO prove such cor.
tracts Knowing as we do that witness
es TO oral agreements are liable to de
fects Of memory that they must all die 4;
that within "a short time after trans.
action, Misunderstanding and differ.
ences of opinion arise readily among
people who zee and hear the same thing
at the same time; and that perjury in
such cases is so hard to prove-we won.
der that our ancestors did not sooner see
the necessity Of guarding the safety of
contracts by some stricter rules Of law
When in 1875 the English Parliament
passed what has since then been known
a. the Statute Of Frauds, the purpose Of
which was to safeguard contracts, it en-.
acted the most important piece Of busi.
ness legislation ever put upon the statute
books Of any country So wise was this
law that it has stood to this day, prac.
tically unaltered in England, and is to.
day, with some changes to fit local con.
ditions, part Of the statute law Of
nearly every state III the United States.
The Statute Of Frauds declares that AZ
to certain kinds Of contracts writing
is necessary. The chief kinds Of con.
tracts affected are contracts relating to
land Before the passing Of the statute,
an interest in land could he transferred
without writing; hence no proof was re-
quired Of such transfer excepting thu
oral testimony Of witnesses to the act

EOUA' RIGHTS TO ALL.

It must be taken for granted that
every Democrat would like to see an
other president elected who believes III
the good old Jeffersonian doctrine OF
Equal rights to all and special privileges
to none. " No one but Democrats rest
their political faith on that declaration
To Republicans of today it must be IN
conceivable that any political party
should demand equal rights to all, Tor
that would abolish the tariff schedules
that foster and protect the trusts 'Spe-
cial privileges to none would apoiish
nearly all the legislation that the Re
publican party has enacted; that tavorS
subsidies, and that has created sectional
strife and usurped executive powers I'M
known to the constitution.
To Democrats all such granting OF IN
equal rights and special privileges Is a
crime against the people. 1t has been
accomplished by corrupting elections
with the campaign funds contributed by
those who have benefited by such special
privileges.
To overthrow such corrupt system OF
favoritism is incentive enough to arouse
every honest voter and should unite
Democrats to that end, Trust high prices
and the increasing cost of living should
lead many Republicans to join with the
Democrats in revising the tariff and
other abuses that but few any longer
deny az existing

How Frostbite Comes.

The first effect of cold on the skin is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are YES
sells that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting YES
sells are called capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
itself becomes tenser. In a few mo-
ments or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction Of the %capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the yes
sells dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be-
comes blush. Then the nutrient fluid
in the skin (the lymph is coagulated,
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"chaps." If the cold is more severe its
action is deeper, and the blood itself
may be ~coagulated. This is frostbite.
