When in Doubt Pass a Law.

In the course of an interesting discussion in the department called The Interpreters House." in the May American Magazine, appears the follOwing:
 When something happens that we do not like, what is the first thing we say? There ought to be a law against it. Every time! That is the unconscious tribute we all pay to the Queerest, the most naive and stupid superstition in a world where all superstition dies hard enough that all you need to do to stop any thing is to pass a law against it.
 No amount of experience, appar- ently, will free the minds of men from the incubus, the hOodOo, of this extraordinary superstition. No matter what the issue. If you want to stop gambling, splitting, combinations of capital or of la Dor, prostitution, college fraterni- ties, the high cost of living, arson, saloons, monopoly in restraint of trade the lurkey-trot, burglary, tips, walking on the grass; what ever il is. there is only one thing to do-pass a law against it. Then everybody will be contented; every body will believe that the ofrense will cease at once, or at least as soon as you have gotten a sufficient number of people in jail. Only get enough laws passed and above all, if you can only get enough people in jail, you have realized the aV- craze mans millenial hopes.

Race suicide may be bad but town suicide is no virtue.
 The tree that isn't growing at the top is dying at the root. Is this town growing?
 There are other ways of damag- ing this town besides throwing bricks through the store windows.
 You cannot very well ask others what the town is doing for you un- til you ask yourself what you are doing for the town.

For constipation you will find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the digestion. They are sold by all dealers.-Adv.
