John Williams, a sarcastic wit and a
bachelor with an intense prejudice
against marriage. His clerk one day
asked him for a holiday to get mar

entering his chambers, Williams found
his dead body suspended from the
door. He engaged another clerk, and
asked him if he was married. NO.

The introduction of more than
fifteen hundred bills In the current
session of the Wisconsin legislature
is not encouraging. What the state
needs at this time is a moderate ex-
tent of careful revision of few
laws already on the statute books
and two or three new measures
covering the relations between the
public and the public service corpor-
atoms. Anything beyond that is
superfiuous if not detrimental. The
proposal of nearly sixteen hundred
changes in the statutes of the state,
therefore, is so far out of the range
of legislative prudence that it
borders on the ridiculous. IL evil
dences a sort of law-maklng frenzy

CANNOT BE UNIFORM.

Three separate and distinct bills
have been introduced in the legisla-
ture by members bearing upon
patent medicines. All of them are
in the interest of pure drugs and
medicines, both proprietary and
otherwise, and so far as intent goes
are worthy. But some of the patent
medicine houses of the country have
raised an objection to this class of
state legislation which is at least
worthy of consideration.
It IS their contention that the ma
tional pure food law covers the case
as fully as is necessary but that if
additional legislation is desired by
any Of the states it should be drawn
20 conform to the national law and
not conflict with it in any particu-
lar. The logic of this will be gener-
ally conceded.
The further argument is also made
that this IS a class of legislation
which should be left to congress and
not be touched by the state legisla-
ture on account Of its really belong
ing to interstate commerce. It is
shown that should the various
states each pass its laws with no
regard to uniformity it would work
a hardship on not only the patent
medicine firms but to the druggists
as well. For instance, one state
might provide for a certain form of
labels for formula medicines while
others would be entirely different.
Some states might restrict the sale
Of medicines made from certain
formulas while others would pay no
attention to them.
there is more or less reason in
cheese arguments but they fit many
othey cases equally well. The Amer
lean system Of state government is
open to grave objection against
state legislation on many subjects.
Railways, express companies and
many others doing interstate com
merce business frequently find
themselves hampered by the pecu-
Ian provisions of state laws. AS
for instance the state of Texas pro-
vides that no railway can do bust
ness within its borders which does
not have its general headquarters
there. AS a result the railways pas
sing through the state have to
MAINTAIN a bogus railway organic
alton VITA imitation headquarters
in the state. Provisions n some
other states are equally foolish.
Again, 1t is generally recognized
that Uniform divorce laws would be
much more satisfactory than the
existing state laws but the only
thing that can be done in the case is
to make them as uniform as is pos
si5le under the circumstances.
The drug and medicine companies
are not a whit better than railways
and other corporations and need no
ieniency on that account. The argu-
ment that varying laws cause confu-
sion is undoubtedly true and it will
be we'll for legislatures to endeavor
to conform as far as possible with
the federal pure food laws but
where additional safeguards are
considered necessary each state
must be expected to pass such
measures as it sees fit and little or
no attention Will be paid to uni
sormity or to the protests of the
proprietary medicine companies.
