However, there is no legal maximum

Want to Get Away.

The uppermost question in the
minds of Senators and Representa-
tives just now is, "When can we get
away" That very fact indicates
eagerness to find way to get away.

about cleared up all the essential
work they intend to do this session,
or that may not be concluded by the
first week in August, and are wait

haste has been made slowly despite
the squirting by the leaders. Views
on important pending measures have
developed SO much divergence that
it is quite likely that most of the
big bills other than the supply meas
ures will go over until the next reg
ular session. That in itself should
promote an early adjournment in
accord with the House program.
So it looks as though adjournment
should come somewhere between
the 10th and Goth of August

Making Of a Citizen.

A good index as to what kind Of a
citizen he is, is to look about his
premises. See how much rubbish
he allows to be thrown out and re-
main either in front or back. Look
at the litter, the shaky fence, the
unsightly hog pen, i'll shaped and
carelessiy built out houses of every
kind. If you find things looking like
a hog had prepared things about his
premises, then you may conclude
that it does not lack much Of being
a hog. Any man can be neat and
can make things around him neat
and clean if he will try, but it is the
hog that is in him that makes him
satisfied with filth and trash and un-
slightly things and you can tell who
is by looking at his premises as you
pass by. either in town or in the
country. His way Of doing things
will betray his natures. We invite
the people to take peep at a few
places around town and see if we
are not right.-Sullivan County De-

THE TORRENS SYSTEM.
Constitutional Amendment Under Dis
CuSSiOl In Chic.

Inc sixteen proposal on the con
stitutional BALLOT has been common
| ly called the Torrens amendment
The word Torrens, however, doe
not appear in the text. The amend
ment in full follows:
Laws NAV be passed providing fo1
a system of registering, transfer
ring, insuring and guaranteeing
land titles by the State or by the
counties thereof, and for setting anC
determining adverse or other claims
10 which are registered, insured Oh
guaranteed, and for the creation and
collection Of guaranty funds by fees
to be assessed against lands, the t.
ties to which are registered; and iu-
dicial powers with right of appeal
may by law be conferred upon coun-
| ty recorders or other officers in mat
] ters arising under the operation of
such system.
1t has been called the Torrens
amendment probably because the
Iorrens system Of land registration
IS the onl y one generally recognized.
Yet the field is not limited, and if in
the future any system is found to
compete with the Torrens it will be
entitled to a hearing,
Were the amendment indorsed.
the details Of the ! Ian would, of
course, remain for the Legislature
to work out. There is, however,
general procedure under The Torrens
system which has become virtually
standard.
As many know, the Torrens system
was devised by Sir Robert Richard
Torrens, premier of South Australia
in 1857, for the judicial registration
of titles to land, The idea received
a quick acceptance in many parts of
the world. Ohio had Torrens law
at che time but the Supreme
Court declared It Invalid.
In general, procedure under Tor
rens law, the enactment Of which
would be possible under the propos-
Ell amendment, consists ia ali appli-
cation to the designated court by a
person interested for the registration
Of his title to some property. The
title is examined and certified by an
official examiner. The state is then
made q defendant in any suit involv-
ing the validity Of that title.
The result claimed for the Tor
rens system is that g new and indie
feasible title il land is created by the
State. Only one search Of title is re-
quired, the present multiplication of |
searches with successive transfers
o-ine abolished.
This amendment IS permissive,
L obviates the difficulty which
caused the loss Of the other Torrens
"a" in Ohio. Some six or eight
States, as well as number Of for
aign nations, have Torrens laws
Under the amendment, it would re-
main for the legislature to prepare
4 law to meet the will Of the state
vide constituency. It would proba-7
3iy be years before the whole sys-
EN- could be put into operation.
Proposal No. IS should be adopted.

JUST SOCKS.
The Kind Our MoibeF KaIt Relocated
The Distant Past.

Our mother used to knit our sock
as she sat by the ireside or out O,
the front porch. How in the worlt
she ever succeeded in knittins
enough socks and stockings for tn.
whole bloomin' family, especial,
when there were a lot of boys t,
wear out toes and heels faster thar
a knitting machine could knit them
We do not know, but she kept The
family in socks and stockins all right
The home knit sock is an unknown
article now. A woman knitting
socks and stockins with the old-time
needles would be curiosity in this
day.
But do they wear socks, the hus-
bands and sons Of today? They &c
some. Instead Of the coarse, home
knit socks of former days they are
wearing veil-like silk socks-no beg
your pardon-it is hose that is worn
now. We venture the assertion that
never since the first sock and stock
ing were knit has hosiery been as
much in evidence as it is in this dav
Of veil-like hosiery.
DID you ever see a scented youth
wearing his first pair of silk socks -
we mean hosiery? II you never did
you have missed a lot of fun. 1t
will pay you to take half an hour off
the next time you see one of the
aforesaid scented youths wearing his
dazzlina wardrobe and strutting in
his first pair of silk socks-hosiery-
and watch the amoozin' little cuss"
for that ,length Of time. See him
roll up the bottom Of his "breeches''
legs, watch him catch strangle hold
on the legs of his aforesaid ''breech-
es' when ne sits down and pulls 'em
up just "ferninst" his knees, But
hold on, you have not seen the anu
sing part of the progsam yet, just
watch him as he sits there in the
preseE.ce Of the girls and casts side
wise glances at "them same silk hos
iery'' he is wearing and then to see
him gently stoIke them hosiery"
on his ankles, and feel the silky feel
Of 'en and then sion overspread his
countenance. 1t is dull person
who cannot get at least a quarters
worth Of fun out Of the performance
the sdectator may have an
'innard" feeling that the one fur
the fun needs three swift |
kicks properly applied and then led !.
out behind the house and told that
his daddy who is blowing out his
good money to buy that silk hosiery
ne is wearing never knew anything
IN his sllins except a home-knit sock
which he tried to keep covered with
lis breeches.

Arrested for Bigamy

| Fred w. Boardman, aged about fifty,
hailing from Portsmouth, N. H., has been

of days selling pianos for Jarvis, of Burl-

young lady of 20, whom he represented
as his wife. Things went along smoothly
until the original Mrs. Boardman put in
an appearance last Friday and identified
the piano man as her lawful husband, to
whom she had been married several years
Boardman was arrested and placed un-
der $500 bonds, which he failed to raise
and was therefore placed in the care of
Deputy Sheriff. Sinclair. from whom he
took French leave" Friday evening,
The surrounding country was notified
and on Saturday the man was found at
Milton and he is now languishing in jai,
at Burlington awaiting court develop

The young lady is from Dunkirk n. Y.
where she married Boardman last March
and she is evidently the victim of circum-
stances, having no knowledge whatever
of Boardman' being a married man. She
is a very prepossessing young lady and
has the sympathy of everybody in the sad
position in which she has found herself
