FREAK LEGISLATION

Have you ever considered the excessive
amount of ''freak" legislation proposed by
various states of the Union during the last
few yearsi 1t surely would fill large vol
ume. What is the explanations
One of the most brilliant of American
essayists, Mr.. Henry James, attributes this
tendancy, to the energies which were lett
without occupation after the battle of
abolition. After the slaves had been freed,
the intense mental activity found an outlet
in all kinds of agitations labeled under the
names of so-called reforms.
To certain types the question is not so
much as to thoroughly understand the
nature of the proposed reforms" as to
secure something to agitate about As a
consequence the reaction is a harvest of alb
solutely silly legislative proposals. Too
often these proposals blacken the pages OF
the statute books.
: In the state of Indiana it is crime to
smoke cigarette, one of the most Sooth-
ting forms in which tobacco may be used.
This is but one of the fool enactments that
so often vex travellers west of the Allegha-
mics.
Recently, in all seriousness, the most
egregious measure Represented to legis-
lative body was laid before the Ohio State
Legislature, by Representative Chapelle OF
Cincinatti. Hear it we suffering women
He proposed to regulate the dress of
womankind. The soft, white cuticle of the
fair sex is repulsive in his, eyes, and "the
cause of the wave of immortality. II there
is such wave, it has not been seen to
surge in Nevada, though some few have a
morbid Naturalization that it may exist in
Elko.
So it came to pass that Mr.. ChapelIe pro-
posed state commission composed of
three members to prescribe the fashions
to be worn by the women of the state of
Ohio" One of this elect body must needs
be a clergyman, another a mere husband
with at least three children, and the last
member of this moral trio, a social settle
ment worker.
1t occurs to me that Mr.. Chapelle does
not think that young men could be trusted
to this noble work of covering up feminine
charms, for each commissioner must be at
least thirty years old.
The woman proud of her white and
shapely neck is to be suppressed. "Not more
than two inches below the chin shall be
uncovered" Thus saith the bill Then,
too, the peek-a-boo waist shall be banished
for cit shall be unlawful to display or wear
any outer garment trimmed or combined
with lace, insertion, or any kind of en-
broidery, mesh or net through which the
color or texture of the skin may be dis
tinguished without having the lace or other
material Backed with Opaque material"
A few long haired men and short haired
women will probably advocate ChapelIe's
reforms. While the proposal is as laugh
able as it is impossible, it is a shame to
think that the man who devised it was
elected by the voters of such a wealthy
and important state as Ohio.
