from the mind all fear of evil: To ele-
vate the thoughts above the sordid
plane of life: To perform our duties
cheerfully from the love of use: To
realize that happiness is a spiritual
state-not a material condition: To
'be right" inside-then the outward
smile and cheerfulness will follow.
To know that true greatness. power
and beauty lie in the soul-expanding
love of our fellow creatures
The emblem of the club is a Laven-
der pencil. The pass word is Lavender

Pickhardt. is likely to follow. That is
all there is to Good Luck"

NEED FOR FEWER LAWS.

A man who has been practicing in
the courts in Indiana for 80 years
writes to the Star that the greatest
evil of our procedure is the complete
Transformation of our statutory law
by every legislative session. By the
time an active attorney has mastered
the code of one biennial term along
business. Most of the civil or criminal
chapters are complicated already, and
the addition of several new enactments
on each topic throws the whole subject
into confusion.
Not only that, but many of these leg
islative moving pictures have to be in
terpreted by the courts before anybody
knows what they mean. Here is the
new saloon code, for example, en-
braced in two separate acts, both of
them referable also to the existing law
and construction. At points they seem
to conflict with each other and with
the present practice. Not seldom the
complete Interpretation of the new law
is ended just about the time new leg
islature meets and puts the whole bust
ness into confusion again.
1t was the suggestion of this veteran
practitioner that the legislature meet
once every four years, that its mem
bership be reduced and that its enact
mentS be fewer and more general in
scope. Before November, 1912, rolls
around it will have become clear to all
Indiana that these ideas of limiting our
legislative troubles are all transVened
by Governor MarshalPs proposals to
lengthen the legislative term and in
crease the size of the assembly. This
will give us more laws instead of fewer
exactly opposite to our real need and
to the doctrine of true democracy
