have assured the Superintendent Of Banks that he would s~traighten

in the further question why he did not keep the promise.

Inc phraslng OF this complaint shows a curious knk in the
MAYORS mind. Why should he suspect people of digging pitfalls
behind him. Pitfalls are generally dug in front of a man, for, as
a rule, men go forward instead Of backing up. There is surely some
thing perverse in the working of a mind that turns a familiar phrase
backward. Does the Mayor really know which way he is going?

Statements so sweeping as this ar more rhetorical than reason
able, but this is, perhaps, as near cxactness rs any universal state
ment can be. The present charter has undoubtedly some defects,
but a new one will just as surely have Others. The American mania
for enacting new laws and changing old laws has made our statute
books, our codes and our charters a veritable series of legal jungles
through which even the wariest lawyers cannot find their way with
certainty.
All Of these tinkerings with legislation confuse the public mind

enforcement of existing law. 1t is an old wisdom Of the Irish house
