SO from my statement to him):

Demonstrative Of Fallacy.

A single analogy will without any more
arguments demonstrate the fallacy of this
part of the plaintiffs contention. Thus
BY submitting his sealed proposal without
certificate from a judge or clerk of a
court of record the law would assure to
bidder that he would not be bound by
that bid. because the joint committee
could not consider it; at least 50 long as
1t was unaccompanied by the certificate:
now II after the bids were all opened their
terms published, this one bidder after thus
knowing the figures submitted by his COM
petitors could then suffer his illegal bid
to continue illegal by withholding the GER
tificate If he saw in the figures of the
others that which justified IL: or if he
pleased he could al that late hour turn his
illegal bid into good bid by producing
and displaying to the joint committee
certificate OF approval on separate
sheet

CALLS IT VILE TRAFFIC
PRIEST DENOUNCES SALE OF
IRISH CARICATURES.
Asks for Boycott of Shopkeepers
Who Deal in So-Called Hi
bernian "Favors."

NEW YORK. March 14.-From the pull
pit of All Saints Roman Catholic Church,
10th street and Madison avenue, the
Rev James w. Power. the rector yester-
day denounced the traffic in offensive St
Patrick day picture post cards. and con-
demned what are known as ST. Patrick :
day "favors.'' Father Power said the
only way to end the vile traffic was for
Irish mercans to boycott the stores that
sold such things.
Father Power spoke at three masses.
and the curate practically repeated his
words at the other masses. That the
parishioners agreed with the rector and
favored the boycott was plain The Irish
of New York have deeply resented the
caricaturing of their patron saint for
years. but this is the first time. as far
as is known, that a priest has denounced
the practice from the pulpit.
From Two Points of View
THE ST. Patricks day caricature is oh
iectiona bile from the religious as well as
the Irish national point of view. said
Father Power. THE shamrock is an en-
blem held in respect by Catholics all over
the world To Irish Catholics the sham
rock is emblematc of the Holy Trinity.
and they consider the decoration of hui
man monstrosities and unclean beasts
with sprigs of the trefoil as desecration
1t is highly insulting TO Americans of
Irish extraction to defile their racial and
religious embems.
There is no objection to the general
caricaturing to which all elements of the
composite American race are subjected
-. ,f,< L. o1@ n.xA I'll
ceding every st. Patricks day is too
much for human endurance. 1t is time
that this spiteful special caricaturing,
which had its origin in hatred and preju
dice, should end.
The boycott should be deliberate con-
tinuous and general. but without any dis
play of bad temper.

Represented by Counsel.

January %. at a session of the joint
committee. the counsel for the plaintiff
appeared. produced a separate certificate
in the appropriate phraseoioRy. signed by
one of the justices of this court. submit
ted it TO the joint committee and was
heard in argument The joint committee
declined to award the contract to the
puetitioner upon the ground expressed in
the letter quoted above. The foregoing
recitation embraces the material parts
of the agreed statement of facts and
from them is to be determined whether
vital averment of the petition is sus-
tanned.
That averment is: Your petitioner fur
Their alleges that said bid was accompan-
led by bond which had been approved
by the United States judge of the District
of Columbia, as required by the law, and
that said bond was executed with all the
formalities required by the law hereinbe-
fore referred to-
proof of the truth of the averment is
utterly necessary for the reason that
the act of Congress not only requires
that the bond shall be approved in a
particular manner. but expressly prohibits
the joint committee from considering any
proposal which Is not accompanied by a
bond approved.

Courts Conclusion.

1T seems to the court that whatever
may be the obligation of the joint COM
mittee to consider proposals. that obi
CATION fixes itself at the moment the
proposals come out of their seals to the
attention of the joint committee; II at
the time of opening particular proposal
discovers itself to be then destitute of ii
characteristic which Is essential to legal
ity in form, that the obligation to give
consideration does not at the time at
tach to that proposal.
If the joint committee had in this par
ticular case determined that it would
award contract to the plaintiff, al
though the certificate was late. some
very good arguments might be able to
be put forward to sustain the propriety
of an exercise of this kind of discretion
by the joint committee, as advancing the
best interests of the government Yet if
the joint committee be conceded to pos
sess such discretionary power the very
assertion that 1t lies in their discretion
is an affirmation that they may. do it or
not

Quotation From the Act.

1.-THE language of The act in regard to
those points is thus: But they shall not
consider any proposal. which is not &C
companed by a bond approved by a
judge or clerk of a court of record in the
penalty of 5000. that the bidder or bid
ders. if his their proposal is accepted,
shall enter into contract to furnish the
articles proposed for.
AT the time the statement of facts
above recited was agreed upon at the bar
and laid in the attention of the court it
seemed to the mind of the court that
there could follow no other conclusion
than that the allegation of the petition
quoted was disproved i'm a manner not
only satisfactory but conclusive and the
arguments which have been brought for
ward leave that conviction still undis
turbed. The law required the bond to be
approved by Judge or clerk of court
of record, and it was a condition written
in large type in the specifications that it
should be approved by judge clerk
of court of record and no one else the
bond itself was headed by a notice of the
same requirement, was likewise the
blank certificate, and yet the certificate
was signed by United States commits
sioner.

Contention of Plaintiff.


The plaintiff puts forward a contention
that the certificate which was appended
TO the Hopfenmaier bond satisfied the
laws requirements respecting the plain
the policy of Congress. as expressed in
the phraseology of. and indicated by the
purposes Of. the act under consideration.
| other kind of bidders each to submit his
bid in such form that the joint COM
mittee in considering it need look nowhere
than between the covers of each separate
proposal for the full and complete evil
dence that that separate proposal agreed
with the laws requirements concerning
it's legality.
IF the plaintiffs proposal was. sub
mitted prior to the submission of Hop
fenmaier's proposal was it illegal until
his sealed proposal came in? Did it turn
legal when his was received? And il he
had withdrawn his before the opening,
would plaintiffs have continued legal un-
til he withdrew and have turned illegal
again upon the withdrawal of his pro-
posal?
The court is required to find from the
agreed statement that at the time the
sealed proposals of the plaintiff was
opened. along with the other proposals
for consideration. 1t was not accompanied
by bond approved by judge clerk
of court of record. The other part of
the plaintiffs contention lies in this con-
sideration--that by postponing until jan
uary % the award of the contract: by
the plaintiffs production at that time of
a separate certificate; by. according to
the plaintiff. a hearing upon the point. the
joint committee obliged itself to consider
at that time the plaintiffs proposal.
