Dissatisfaction with the technical
loopholes of the law is general. Many
recent cases which have turned
on bubbles so as to defeat Justice nave
quickened the march of legal reform.
Throughout the nation the press IS
attacking the technical decision of the
courts, especially in criminal cases,
Many Of these cases We're decided con-
trary to reason because of the omis-
sion of some unimportant word.
The definite article the has been
less questioned than any COM
mon word in general legal use,
1t would seem that the very
defniteness of the word would
carry with it the Implication that no
ambiguity could be affixed to 1t, but
such is far from being the case. There
are on record many civil and criminal
cases in which this word has furnished
the reason for deciding the case.
lis omission from legal documents
has often COMPOUNDED courts and moved
them to set free men VIGOROUSLY guilty
and let them go unpublished. Hands
stepped in human blood have appealed
successfully for freedom because Of the
neglect to place this word in criminal
indictments.
The latest issue of "The Docket

Henry Watterson brought out a
whole coopful of stall-fed chickens in
the Louisville courier-Journal on Wed
nesday, and they were all growing in
concert as they had mot crowed be-
fore for going on fifteen years. The
exhibit must have been very surprising
to the people of Kentucky. many OF
whom had forgotten exactly the party
emblem 1t was dangerous thing for
"Marse Henry" to do when he must
know that there are a great many
chicken thieves hanging around all the
time. Gotsto be mighty careful these
times when the cost of living is SO
high and good poultry is so scarce.

now MEN SHOULD DRESS.

G may now resume oui 'tu's
the latest fashions for men--always an
interesting subject with those of us
who like to keep up with the styles.
We are Indebted to The Haberdasher
and to the New York Evening sun, q
Fashion journal of the secular order
so to say, for such information upon
this topic as we have not evolved from
our own inner artistic sense. 1t Will
surprise and doubtless pain. some OF
the younger fellows, who have Just
finished paying for these articles OF
dress, to know that gray ties and
waistcoats are no longer quite the
thing, although gray, shadow-striped
cloths,with velvet pipings for the swal-
low tail and jacket, are not inconSist-
cnt with the demands of fashion.
Tucked evening shirts are shaped and
lined Patent pumps are proper
Satin binding is permissible on an IN
formal waistcoat Last winter, 1T will
be recalled, the swallow tail and the
evening jacket were of a gray, self
striped fabric, and in unfinished black
worsteds there was a gray shadow
stripe.
The evening clothes this season are
to be more ornamental than hereto
fore, and while it is to be expected, OF

turesomc will indulge in loud effects,

with velvet pipings.
No man is harnessed properly who
wears a Tuxedo coat on formal occa-
sions. White gloves are not necessary
at dinners for the men and are always
in the way of the women,
We are told by the Evening sun
that there was a tailor once who
never tried to impose any new wrinkle
on his customers; who always cut EN-
in the old--the distinguished way,
who never got any cloths which would
brighten a trolley Car or stop dyna-
mo; who never urged his patrons to
have braid where braid had never
been before" But this tailor is dead.
He originally lived In Charleston, and
flourished there until the young men
of the latest generation began to i'm
agine they were wiser than their faith
ers, and that in this free and inde-
pendent country there is no law which
would compel them to conform to any
of the regulations made at the Sign
Of the Goose
We must say that we do not like
very much the suggestion of stripes
for those OF the sterner sex who fol-
low the fashion. There is a suggest
iveness about stripes that appears tc
be inconsistent with the full enjoy
ment OF festivities of one sort and
another which many persons cannon
afford 1t speaks we'll, however, fot

great country that they can turn sc

Wing the crooks to the consideration OF

am Indictment for hcinous CRIME
drawn up in due form, except that the
article the" was omitted In the Con-
stitut,onnl phrase SO as to read
against the peace and dignity OF
state" The Missouri Constitution re-
quires that all indictments shall con-
lcitde against the peace and dignity
of the state.D Because this word was
left out. the Supreme Court quashod
the Indictment and set the prisoner at
liberty. The chief reason assigned was
mat by the omission of the definite
article, emo particular state was re-
Tered to, and there was, therefore, an
absolute failure to name the power or
jurisdiction against which the crime
was committed. It made no difference
whether the court knew what was in
tended or not, or that the question was
concerning a mere matter of form.
This technical and mathematical
obedience to tho provision of the Mis-
souri, Constitution has been upheld in
several other decisions in the same
Statn. One of these was against GER
tain st. Louis grafters, whose indict-
ment was similarly quashed. In two
criminal cases the Texas courts con-
Cured in the Missouri view.
The Court of Appeals of Oklahoma
has taken the contrary judicial posi-
tton. In a similar case where the
word the was omitted from the cap
ton THE State VS.. John Doe" the
court ruled that this formal defect was
not fatal to the Indictment The Okla
homa court departed from the beaten
path Of reasonless precedent and de-
clared that 1t would disregard pre-
cedents which were found "in the rub
Dish of Noah's Ark" and which have
outlived their usefulness. IL, indeed
they ever had any. AS The Docket
points out, this decision accords so
much with the real Justice of the case
that 1T should be followed rather than
tho eye for an eye and tooth for a
tooth doctrine
The Oklahoma court believes In the
Seriptural injunction, THE reuter- OIL
the law skilleth, but the spirit giveth
life" 1t lays down its fine purpose
for the judicial policy of the new State
when 1t says: Now that our criminal
jurisprudence is in it's formative period
we are determined to do all in our
power to put it on the broad and sure
foundation of reason and Justice
Oklahoma has often been indicted
for the faddish aspect of certain pro-
visions in it's Constitution, but the law

that of the LIST resort in Oklahoma,
