JoKERS WORKED INTO LAWS
shady Methods of Shifty Lawmakers
Usually Discovered Too
Late.

A joker in its simplest form consists in
a word or a clause, which, introduced into
proposed legislation filches away from
the public It's power to establish such
laws as 1t desires. either by emasculating
an enactment or by pervertlng the essence
and purpose OF It. What follows is no
abstruse political analysis of legislative
trickeries. IL is merely an attempt to select
from hundreds of instances a few con-
spicuous and comprehensive examples
showing what a joker IT, why It IL, and
how II is manipulated in It's various forms
Sometimes. It is one word as where the
sale of a piece of public property TO the
lowest bidder was once authorized Some
times II may inhere in that elusive char
acter, the comma, as in the case OF the
tariff clause OF an old schedule. providing
for the free entry Of fruit plants. where
somebody carelessly allowed a comma to
creep in between "fruit" and plants"
thereby admitting millions of oranges and
lemons into the country duty free, and cost
ing the treasury hundreds OF thousands of
dollars in loss OF imports. Nobody ever
found out whether this was a printers
slip. or carefully devised scheme. Ger
tain 1t is that the trainers OF the schedule
never intended it. Again, the entire body
Of the proviso may constitute the joker,

1t in reality carries quito another. Con,

unassimilated irish representative from
Massachusetts, who proposed that March
II be made legal holiday in celebration OF
the Boston Tea Party" Several New
Highlander whose zeal exceeded their erudl-
ton warmly supported the measure, until
some one pointed out that March II was
much more closely associated with the sup
posed birth OF the proposers patron saint
than with the destruction OF the obnoxious
tea. which later, indeed was a mid-winter

Is Most Patriotic
Little Jennie Wren

A sitting wren, whose nest is built
under the shadow and protection of
the r A. Brown cottage on the Coun-
try Club grounds, is Matching her brood
under the sheltering folds of Old
Glory. On Memorial Day numbers of
flags of all sizes were used in decora-
ton and for display about the club
house and the cottages. The next morn
ing, as Mr.. Brown arose and looked
out. he called his wife to share a
strange and beautiful sight. The wren
had taken possession of a small silk
flag, almost TOO heavy for her to carry,
and was flying with it toward her nest.
The folds fluttered about and beneath
her and made her task one of much
difficulty. However. after repeated
trials she managed TO get it to the nest
and fix it there where it hangs today
much to the delight of the cottagers
and apparently vastly TO the pride and
satisfaction of the little bird.
