Some Freak Laws.

IT all the freak legislation through
out the United States were passed and
became laws what a funny country
this would become! Indiana has fur
nished one Of the most recent samples.
1t is bill requiring every person wish
ing to take drink to take out Ii.
Ger sc.
From Colorado comes the interest
ing news that a bill is about to he in
troduced in the legislature of that
state providing that any surgeon who
shall perform an operation for appen-
dieitis and thereafter be unable to
prove that the appendix was in dis
eased condition, shall be guilty of NAL
practice and punishable under the
penal code.
That much-abused class, the poor
bachelors, are being abused once more,
this time in New Mexico, where a bill
has been introduced in the legislature
providing for the classification of bach
elors and widowers and the Ievying of
tax against them.
As for Texas, the legislature is now
seriously considering the enactment
of law to put you in jail if you ever
dare to use bad language to the tele-
phone receiver.
OF course everybody knows about
Nebraska's famous sheet bill. 1t is a
measure to compel hotel proprietors 10
furnish bed sheets nine feet IN length.
The tongues of the railway station
agents in Missouri may be loosened If
a bill introduced into the Legislature of
the state is passed. The bill provides
fine Of S35 to $50 for any agent who re-
fuses to answer questions put by trav-
elers. The father of the bill said years
of rebuffs Of agents, Of whom he had
inquired If trains were on time, had
aroused in him lingering longing to
one day 'get back" at the sphinx who
hides behipd the wicket.
The state Of Washington is catering
to its lady voters. Polling places are
going to be made very attractive for
them. The city council of Seattle start
ed the ball rolling with the introduce
ton of d resolution prohibiting smok-
ing in Polling places at election. 1t is
proposed to make the election booths
very pretry with decorations, flowers,
easy chairs and polite attendants.

To Count Mail.

An order has been received at the
postoffices from Postmaster General
Hitchcock mapping out work for the
month of May. Every piece of mail
must be counted and weighed. The
various kinds of mail are divided into
20 subdivisions, for which separate
count must be made. Also the actual
time must be kept and the number OF
pieces handled per minute known.
Separate records are also asked for
mail handled by town carrlers,account
being kept both of the number OF
pieces collected and Of the numbir car
ried. The rural mail carriers must per
form the same service and in addition
keep an accurate account of the weight
of their mail. The task means that
the postal force will. have to Work
harder than usual.

Publicity Campaign Contributions.

| After partisan fight, in which the
Republican members attempted to de-
| feat the purpose of the bill providing
| for the publicity ofcampalgn funds be-
fore as well as after the election, the
House at Washington on Friday pass
ed that measure without material
amendment by vote Of 164 to 1879.
The Republican members attempted
to tack OH an amendment extending
publ icity to the individual receipts and
expenses of candidates for Congress.
This was simply trick to diseredit
the bill, and until the trick was ex-
posed several Democrats voted for tho
amendment. While publicity of
all campaign contributions is what the
Democrats aim at, Congress can only
regulate publicity as to Congressional
and national committees and has no
inri sdction over State Committees or
State campaigns.
The bill, known as the Rucker bill as
passed by the House, was amended in
only one particular; substituting $40
instead of 500 as the premium limit
of contributions to be made public.
The new law extends and makes more
stringent the campaign publicity law
pas sed ir 1910. 1t requires publicity of
funds By the campaign committees
ten days before election, and the fling
of supplemental statements every three
avs thereafter until election day.
The point in relation to this bill is
not that the Democrats refused TO &C
cept AN amendment extending the law
to the individual campaign expenses
of candidates to Congress. The impor-
tant fact is that practically the solid
Republican vote was cast against the
bill on final passage, showing that the
Republicans were afraid to show their
accounts before the election, while the
Democrats invite the widest publicity.

lie Huntington Advertiser and the
