Before his departure he declared the

that when his work was finished ne

KILL THE SHARK.

To call q man who wakes rich upon the mis-
fortunes of his fellow man. who fattens on mis-
cry, and practices extortion upon the helpless a
loan shark is rather libel on the shark The
shark is only capable OF a certain amount of
SIM sham1essness and cowardice That creature
which we call the loan shark seems to be of
infinite capacity for all these things
The man who lends money legitimately need
have no fear of legislation The law is plain
In regard to interest and redress But he who
gathers the unfortunate into his clutches by
means OF exorbitant interest and hounds him
to the end. should be stamped out of Virginia
Virginia needs laws to curb the loan shark
When congress last spring adopted measure pro-
hibiting the charging of unfair interest the
money lenders Of Washington merely moved over
to the Virginia side of the Potomac and inau-
gurated an automobile bus line for their patrons
Messrs. Cousins and Woodward introduced a
measure In the house OF delegates yesterday
which prohibits the charging Of more than six
per cent interest on sums OF less than 5000 1t
also requires money lenders to take out license
and to furnish bond. The bill is not intended
to strike at legitimate money lenders but under
its terms the loan shark cannot live and for
that reason It should be thoroughly investigated
by those who making laws for Virginia.

court with the above result. The New y DIRK
World commencing upon the case says:
THE law in question has general interest
as an excellent example of lawmaking that
runs exactly counter to the principle affirmed by
President Wilson that Legislation is business
of interpretation not Of ordgination.' 1t provided

hardly than per cent Of all the ply

and in the words OF Circuit Judge Eschweiler.
1t was unreasonable and material impairment
of the inalienable right of the fit to enter the

Its reversal should have the effect of dis
couraging progressive legislation tending to-
ward the arbitrary State regulation of marriage.
After all marriage existed long before legisla-
