SEAWEL ON ACT NO. 3.
ssys II Would Prevent Crime snd
Eecuce Stste end County EN-
pensee.

Seycntv-fve percent Of the indiGt-
ments returned by grand juries OF
the 18th Judicial District, says Pros
ecuting Attorney Gus Seawell, are
due 20 the fact that people are igno-
rant OF the law because they have
no way Of knowing the law. 1t is
needless 70 add that Mir. Seawell
heartily endorses Act No. 3, the pub
licity measure. But let Mr., Seawel
speak for himself
u heatily.endorse Act No, 3, now
before the people for adoption at
the coming election for the special
reason thar it provides for the pub
lica,ion of synopsis Of all general
laws passed by the legislature imme-
diately after they 90 into effect, in
order that all the people may know
what the law is.
Daring MY four years experience
as prosecuting attorney OF the Four
teenth Judicial District, have be-
come thoroughly convinced that 75
per cent OF the violations Of the law
on which indictments were found,
were committed by people who
want to obey the law if they know
it, which is impossible under present
conditions, so far as the masses are
concerned.
"Furthermore it has been my
painful duty TO have 10 prosecute
Wolarors OF new laws, which the
accused had no means OF knowing
TO be the law and which many good
lawyers were ignorant Of, simply
because they had no way OF know
ing except 70 go to Little Rock and
look through the mass OF tedious
bills that bad been enacted into
laws
Il is said that Draco wrote his
laws so high the people could not
see them. Surely Arkansas holds
her laws go obscure tba, the people
cannot know them.
Act No. 3 will turn on tpe light so
completely that the bumblcst and
most obscure person who will read,
may know the law and AVOID the
meshes OF its entanglements
In my candid opinion, the saving
Of court costs 70 the counties thar
will result from this phase Of the act
alone will more than cover the total
expense of carrying out Of It's pro-
vision Of publicity because when the
people have a chance 10 know what
the law is, the counties will not be
burdencd with so much litigation,
either civil or criminal
Not only that, many fathers and
mothers will be spared the humili-
alton OF seeing the boy who is guilty
o; no intentional wrong, dragged
into court ard deprived OF means
that should be used for bis educa.

CHAPTER LXVIII.

/ was very glad yesterday when
one of the women in the hotel
called me up and asked IL Dick
and | were to be home in the
evening. l thought it would tide
things over q little IL we did not
spend the evening alone. as when
Dick left me l knew ne was angry
with me, and l thought perhaps
he might forget the subject OF our
mornings talk.
When Dick and I differ l never
know If it is a good plan to refer
to the difference afterward or
just let the matter drop. l HATE
A "NAGGER. but Dick is rather
inclined to emulate his mother
and sulk a little, and / am al
ways trying to have matters
cleared up where we can begin
anew.
/ told Mrs. Smythe Ct hate that
way Of spelling Smith, that both
Mr.. Waverly and l would be glad
to see her and her husband.
Dick was late getting home,
and we had to eat our dinner in
a hurry. / told him Mollie had
gone out and that the Smythes
we're coming to call on us. He
did not say anything, but think
he looked relieved. Up to this
time he had had a rather bellig-
erdent air as though he were
waiting for me to open hOstilities.
About eight o'clock Mr.. and
Mrs. Smythe. came In.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-02-04

consider that while she does not
agree with you she has a right to
her opinion?
Often two sisters are so en-
tirely different that l think IL
advisable for each TO have a care
as to not ''borrowiDg without
asking" anything that belongs to
the other. That Will prevent q
certain amount of quarreling.
All through life something
will seem to turn up" TO try us,
and il we fail, no matter how
many times. we must get right
up, lose no time In regretting,
but make up our minds to do u
little better the next time.
Quarreling never helped sim
gle person, nor the world i'm gem
cral. There is absolutely no
sense in it, and you are an INTEL
ligent girl, endowed with the in
telligence of your Creator. IL
you can see the question i'm this
light ! know you will not want to
quarrel. IL is only a habit. and
IL you will follow the rule l have
given l know you can overcome 1t.
Let me know how YOU get on.

The Confessions
. of a Wife C

He was one of those men who
are especially obnoxious to me-
the kind of man who is always
talking about other women than
his wife and in a joking way MAXI
ing himself out gay dog"
His first words were: well.
have you had your first quarrel
YETI" which, in connection with
the mornings difference between
Dick and me, was not an auspi-
cious opening.
must have looked embar-
raised, for, with a loud laugh.
he continued: "I'll bet / know
what it was about. Mrs. Waverly
bothered you by asking IL you
still loved her. Now, Waverly,
take the advice of an old married
man and the next time she asks
you that settle the question once
and for all by saying: of
course, love you, but I'm
through Ginning about it. -
l looked over at Mrs. Smythe
as he said this, but her face was
perfectly inexpensive with its
forced smile. L wonder IL 1 shall
ever learn to laugh when my
heart is crying over LOST ILLU-
SIONS.
This man Smythe had evil
IDENTIFY forgotten that he had ever
had any particular love for the
little woman who sat there listen
ing to his bombastic egotism and
questionable JOKES without show
ing the slightest feeling.
Still in joking way he said:
II tell you l never expected to be
married to Mrs. Smythe this
long. l thought at the time of
the wedding would have a
chance before this to marry two
or three women. Twenty-Five
years with one woman grows
fearfully monotonous."
ITO which," I asked audacious-
ly, "the man or the woman"
81 tell you, Waverly," he con-
tinued, ignoring me completely,
"a man does not realize when he
marries that he is stalking his
liberty in lottery where there
is an over-percentage Of blanks"
Although he was addressing
Dick, i knew he was talking for
my benefit; he was trying to get
even. l could not help remark.
ing that IL the mans stake in
marriage was his liberty, woman's
was her happiness, and, while
there could be happiness without
the license men call liberty, there
was no adequate compensation
which life might hold out to the
unhappy.
A little ray of light came into
the washed-out gray eyes of Mrs.
Smythe, and even Dick gave me a
look which said he was glad 1
spoke.
Mercy" said Smythe, for the
first time speaking to me, 81 hope
you are not one of those suffra-
geters. Mrs. Waverly."
81 don't think / am, Mr..
Smythe," l answered, "but neither
do intend to be a sufferer"
I'm sure Mr.. Smythe wonders
what Dick could see in me.
