VESTED RIGHTS.

Have backward looking and
inward looking men ever stopped
to consider what might happen
to them here in the great state
of New York if those who have
not should take it into their
heads to make common cause
against those who have? They
talk about vested rights and In
their talk assume they have both
an inherent and a constitutional
eight to pass their property down
from generation TO generation
until some reckless descendant
shall have dissipated it. Suppose
a governor and a general assem-
blv i'll the state of New York
should repeal the statute of de-
scents for real and personal prop
erty and the statute with refer
ence to the making of wills on
their death. How much vested IN
tereSt would any relative have in
the property which fell from
their nerveless hands at the
hour of dissolution? The right
to inherit and the right to devise
are neither inherent nor consu-
tutonal: but. upon the contrary.
they are simply privileges Civ

REFORM OF COURTS.

| have had the feeling that
some day the Socialists might di-
rect their attacks on the unequal
and unjust administration of the
law-the failure to administer
the criminal law with certainty
by which criminals so often es-
cape punishment for crimes Tor
which they deserve imprison-
ment The existing conditions
in this regard are a disgrace to
the civilization Of this country
and should be remedied. There
are none better equipped to ac-
complish these reforms than the
members of the bar. The court
room is not the place TO gamble
with the law. We must keep
law and Justice together in order
to Justify law.-William d. tart

native OF that quaint old southern
city, New Orleans. He was born on
August 3. 1891, in the history studded
district known as the French market
IA district of French descendants
which fairly bristles with scenes and
customs suggestive of preAmerican
days.
OF course, ali boxers must have a
humble beginning, and Mandot is no
exception. Six years ago he was
pushing a bread cart through the old
cobble-stoned streets in the quarters.
For Joe is the son of baker.
Mandot's first win OF note was over

with victories over Schwartz. Coster.
