true path through it. Besides the

sured that an important state institu-

i priation. Excellent friends OF V. p. l.
reluctantly admit their belief that the

we have often taken occasion to point
cut the fact that there are already too
many statutes upon the statute books. and
that thrcc-fourths of the bills introduced
in the Legislature have little or no merit

measures pending before tho present Cen

slider these and enact them into law with
