The action of the Illinois Central

railroad company has been severely
criticised because the rate wac
changed December 10 and noticg
was not given in Cairo until De

giving OF such notice at the time
the change was decided upon would
not have proven OF amy advantage to

CHATTER v.

lived over every re-ieus instant, her

Il she we're experiencing il all once

hopeless, holnless condition! But final
ly, because her trouble was now and
her body and mind. though worn with
excitement, were healthy and young,
she sank into q deep sleep without
having decided at all what she should
do.
At last she woke from a terrible
dream, in which tho hand Of her pur
suer was upon her, and her preserver
was in the dark distance. With that
strange insistence which torrents the
victim of such dreams. she was obliged
to lie still and imagine it out, again
and again, until the face and voice of
the young man grew very real in the
darkness, and she Ionged inexpressibly
for the comfort Of his presence once
more.
At length she shook off the pursuing
thoughts and deliberately reused her
self to plan her future
The first necessity, she decided, was
to change her appearance so far as
possible. so that if nows of her escape,

graphed, she might evado notice To

LAWYERS and LEGISLATION.

Or the making OF laws there isl
no end. Probably one-half of thcI
laws enacted by federal, state and
municipal bodies were never intend
ed to be enforced. and If SO i'm
tended are practically impossible Of
enforcement. The tendency of this
latter class of laws is to create a
lack of respect for laws that are
good and desirable. Much of the
blame for the enactment Of laws not
intended to be enforced and that arc
impossible Of enforcement, rests upon
lawyers who seek to increase litiga-
ton and thereby make more business
for themselves.
Sometimes "jokers" are inserted
In city ordinances, and oven in state
and federal laws. that not even the
men who voted to enact the law
perceived Or understood tho consc-
qucnces OF when they voted for
them. Sometimes very important
and far-reaching feature OF a law
is worked into it with the knowl-
edge of but few of those who voted
for it. and that if understood az the
time of the passage of the law would
have defeated the measure.
An illustration of tho latter kind
OF legislation is furnished by u
paragraph in the Utility Commission
law enacted at the recent session Of
the legislature of this state. Thc
legislature that enacted this law
had, near the timc of its passage.
voted down an anti-pass bill, which
deprived members of the General
Assembly of free passes. Ii has
been discovered since the Utility
Commission law was passed that .
paragraph OF the law, by legal con"
struction, does that very thing. Il
also appears that some attorney
with an eye to cherished per
quisites" worked into the paragraph
referred TO few words excepting
attorneys from its provisions. Al
most all attorneys transact som2
business for railroads and these are
permitted, in addition TO the fees
they charge the railroads, to con
tinue to enjoy their ANNALS
The members OF he Legislature
who voted for the Utility Commits
sion BILL and against the anti-pase
bill, unless they be lawyers, are now
going to the rear of their houses ami
kicking themselves for being sucE
consummate fools as to be duped in
to doing that which they had nos
the slightest Intention Of doing.
This is only one illustration OF
many that might be given Of legis
lation which means far more or far
less than the majority Of the men
who make the laws intended
few smart manlpulators, mostly
lawyers. can secretly scout

either cripples the law or makes it
more drastic aud radical than was
intended by its constructors.
Some one has said and with a
least some truth that we were drift
ing into government of lawyers,
by lawyers and for lawyers.
Whether this is true or not, 1t is
true that the increase of litigation
in this country, which is one of the
most expensive features of govern
ment to the public and to the i'll
dlviduals, is due to badly construct
ed laws, many of them passed solely
for the purpose of increasing litiga
tion. Illinois State Register.
