Legislation Suggestion.
The Baltimore SUn says

The Baltimore SHU says
\ law passed recently by the Legislature
of Massachusetts may, it is sali be annulIcd
because of its faulty grammatical construc-
ton. The statute was designed to punish
automobilists who recklessly or while in
state of intOXication drive over public roads
laid out by authority of law. The language
of the Act is 50 loose and its meaning so
vague that it seems to be impossible to give
it direct and practical construction.
On more than one occasion the JOUR
NAL has suggested that MARYLAND should
have Il competent Legislative editor-one
under whose corrective supervision all
bills should pass before third reading in
either House.
1t is easy to see how provision un-
grammatically stated, may annul an
excellent measure.
What else could court do, for in
stance, with "two negatives in the same
sentence ~
In substance, namely
BE it enacted, etc, that the Constitution
shall be amended So as to provide that the
counties representation IN noth Houses of
the General Assembly shall never be ir
creased to a number which will not fall
below that of the city.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
a Square Dear Wanted-That's

A Square Dear Wantcd-Thats All.
The careful reader of Council proceed
ings last week noted the admirable ear
nestness with which ID. Lindley Sloan,
town attorney, expressed optimistic CON
victious of his eventual success in the
slow going Union street Case-nOminal
Union street cases actually.
Mr.. Sloan may feel that way, but
some folks on the other side, under ad-
vice, are equally conf lent that his faith
is rOse-colored with legal superstition.
Suppose, then, some Broadway owner
or owners pay, and UniOn-street owners
get out of paying, how will the Broad
way folks, believing i'll equal rights.
feel about it
Suppose Federal-Hill man should be
sent to Jail for stealing a shovel, and a
WelSh-l1lll man, caught stealing the
collateral pick, should be set free-what
would shovel-and- pick society on FEEDER
al Hill think of the bOasted reign of
equal rights before the law"
To come nearer suppose some Union
street owner or owners will have to pay,
Others not-what possible equitable rea-
son could ever be alleged to justify III
the popular conscience a discrimina-
tion so gross:
1t is to prevent an embarrassment of
this unwelcome character that Broad
way people want Council to get its
Union street Judgment before antici-
pating that Broadway people must pay
anyhow.
The latter are entitled to this consid-
eratlou as an atfable courtesy-not a
dlSgruntled concession; as a token of
trustee pOliteneSS-rOt a ScOrch of i'm
perial condescension.

SENII-IOCAL.
Make Ii Il Precedent.


His Honor, Hon. r. r. Henderson,
one of the associate justices of this
judicial circuit, has been widely and
dcServedly commended for imposing a
sentence upon man who had been CON
victed of manslaughter to pay $50 a
month to the widow of the man for
whose death he is accountable.
The sentence, moreover, provides for
a parole of three years and further pro-
cecdings against him made contingent
upon the manner of his compliance with
the order of court.
In this instance the offender does not
go into confinement at the expense of
the people, but is held to make partly
good Il loss he has inflicted upon an
innocent family.
1t is new departure one too, that
other courts may adopt with at least a
modicUm of real justice to the injured
and immense corrective force to wrong
doing.
With his liberty intact, the payment
of $50 month by the paroled will
amount to just 36 bitter reminders of a
just judges measure of his guilt.
