Babies ouleted With Opium,

Opium is fed to babies of the mid

wealthy mothers as to the proper care
of their babies and that consequently
the care and training are left to lazy
or ignorant nurses who give the little

and l looked for the best places in the Ice

Several sticks Of dynamite were
wrapped in pieces of old bagging and fast
ened on the end OF long spruce poles,
which we had brought along specially for
this purpose. A wire from the battery
had. OF course, been connected with one
of the primers buried in the dynamite.
Pole, wire and dynamite were thrust down
through a crack in the Ice at several
places in the adjacent floe. The other end
of each wire was then connected with the
battery, every one got away to a respect
full distance on the far side OF the deck.
and a quick. sharp push on the plunger OF
the battery sent the electric current along
the wires.

chaotic than the present condition of the
law in this country.
With the conflict and variance in the laws
of different states and the constant dis
t~urbances that arise because of this vnr1-
ance there seems to be an absolute neces-
sity for some uniformity Of legislation upon
all subjects that affect the commerce..
welfare and domestic happiness Of the peo-
pie OF the United States. Our empires
within an empire make frequently disas-
trous and ruinous conflict, and there is no
remedy for evils that increase as time goes
on except an education not only OF the legal
profession, but OF the masses. to the neces-
sity Of greater uniformity in legislation.
The American Bar association has mad this
in view for years. but. unfortunately, has
been able to accomplish very little to bring
about the much needed result.
Your project is worthy Of all credit and
aid, and l greatly hope that before much
time elapses your effort will be crowned
with full success. Anything that l can do
at any time TO forward this excellent work
1 Will gladly do.
My own opinion has been so fully COW
cred by those with whom you have had
correspondence that / feel that nothing Is
needed from me except to endorse what has
been so well put by my friend, Everett p.
Wheeler, Esq. when he quotes from Lord
Bacon in saying: That a country in which
the laws are indefinite and uncertain Is
subject to an iron servltude.s' We canF he
rid of some OF this servitude by uniformity
OF state legislation. and a definite and we'll
settled doctrine firmly established showing
the distinction between legislation that
should be extended 70 the states and that
that should come from the congress Of the
United States.

down obviously, and in the process is in
Turing seriously public respect for law. A
great deal of our law in books is not law
in action, not only because the mass OF
legal detail is too cumbrous for actual ad-
ministration. but often because, at the
crisis OF decision Judges cannot but feJ
that they ought not to apply the mechan-
zeal details they find In the books in the
hard and fast way that rules, as cistlLct
from principles, are TO be applied. But
where are they to find the principles?
There are suggestions here and there, and
a powerful Judge now and then draws a
principle from the mass Of rules. In gem
eral' however. the courts are too often
forced to reach a conclusion on the large
equities OF the cause and forage in the
books for cases to supper 1t. This makes
our written opinions a mere ritual. Sooner
or later a system OF our law must come.
such a work must be done for Its own
sake, 1t must come from (a) the gradual.
but extremely slow progress OF academic
research and publication, from % a state
appointed commission or Co from some
private foundation. Commercial enter
prise Will demand immediate profits-and
this work must be done thoroughly for
ultimate not immediate results. The work
OF the commissioners on uniform state
laws, for example, will not sell; but who
shall estimate It's value?
IL has been said that the crimes OF a
Bonaparte and the bIgotry Of a Justlnian
win be forgotten because al their bidding
the rough places in the way OF justice
were made smooth. The patron under
whose auspices the way OF AmeriqaH JUS
tice shall be made smooth will hasab 5one
no less and will be the greater In that
he devoted his own while they COM
manded the resources OF states.

PROPOSED LAW REFORMS
Plan to Substitute Principles for
Precedents in Legal Practice.
PROFESSION WELCOMES THE PLAN
Nebraskans Lend Their support

of Surprising Import
ance.

The proposed American corpus juris, de-
signed 'as an expression OF the law in the
words OF master minds. from which all
searchers may draw inspiration" is the
subject OF al extended explanation and
discussion In the current issue OF the Green
Bag. Tho work is to be a compilation OF
legal principles drawn from American laws
and court decisions. formulated by the
best legal talent available. Endorsement
OF the project by the legal profession is
we'll nigh unanimous, scores Of letters OF
approval being printed IN connection with
the discussion. Among the endorsers are
General Charles F. Henderson OF Omaha,
Judge Frank Irvine, formerly on the dis
trict and supreme bench of Nebraska, o
dean OF the law school Of Cornell univer-
sity, and Judge Roscoe Pound, formerly
OF the Nebraska supreme court. now pro-
fessor Of law in the Chicago university.

plan for a corpus juris. There cannot be
the slightest doubt that such a work we'll
carried out would be the greatest contri-
button ever made to our low. While the in
estimable value to the profession, its chief
advantage would accrue to the people as a
whole who suffer more than any except
lawyers realize from the present enormous
volume and confused state of the pre-
cedents from which the law in a given case
mus no developed.
Tie undertaking is colossal and beset
by difficulties. On the one hand, the
work must be authoritative. Comparatively
little good would be accomplished by a
mere comprehensive treatise on the law
which would relegate us 70 the same study
of old cases as the only real authority.
The work should solve the problem so long
confronting US and arising out of the
enormous and indeed appalling growth Of
the reports. We cannot hope for any
work which would enable us to throw on
the junk pile the thousands OF accumulated
volumes, but we may reasonably hope for
a work which win render a resort to them
rarely necessary, and when necessary at
all chiefly for historical purposes. on the
other hand. legislative codification leads
us into a new and inner maze without
getting us out of the old one. The au-
thority must be derived not from legislative
fiat but from the character OF the work
itself.
Judge Pound.
I do not doubt that such a work as you
propose, though difficult Of execution,
because It would be a pioneer work in the
system OF our Anglo-Ameriean law, is en-
tlrely feasible. The utility OF the work Is
beyond dispute, and, / might fairly say.
