LET'S TRY ONCE MORE.

The longer they are studied. the
more the truth as stated by the ST..
Adams Messenger strikes home, that
the law supplements issued "by author
ity" through the newspapers amount
to "no publication at ALL" They are
absolutely undependable. No lawyer
would feel warranted in bringing
action based on any alleged statute
appearing therein.
The real saving feature of the job,
after all, is the fact that the type is so
fine and the print so poor that few peo-
pie undertake to seek light or guild
ance from them. Those who do throw
up the task disguised, wondering
whether acts as there, recorded were
really passed by legislators of sane
mind whether the vagaries are those
of the law or of the printer; what the
deuce the law is, anyway, and how
they are ever to find out. They are
not treasured when they turn to the
last page and read -
Montpelier, December %, 1906.

two hundred and fifty-one acts are

State of Vermont at its nineteenth BIZ
ennial session, A. D., 1906, as appears

1t is said in extenuation that the
time is very short for getting out the
job and that under the law only ter
days is allowed for the preparation Of
the supplements, which, being yer,
large order, cannot be properly exc
cuted within that period. This is moi
so. There is no limit of time within
which the supplements must be pre-

Congressman Foster sustained the
administrations attitude in regard to
the exclusion of japanese from San
Francisco's public schools in a strong
speech in the House last week, taking
the ground that the treaty guarantee
ing to Japan all the rights of the most
favored nation supersedes state laws
or local rules in conflict Herewith.
This is the only sensible conclusion,
according to the federal government
an authority that makes its treaty OBJ
legations something more than rope
of sand. However, it is new con-
struction, and one that would make
the old sticklers for states rights wave
their hands in dismay. The idea that
any right conveyed by federal treaty
to aliens, however it may contravene a
state law, binds the state, and all
states, to its observance is a far stretch
of federalism that formerly would not
have been tolerated without serious
contention.
