THE THRowN.ouT HENNEssY ACT

There need be no further controversy over that
much-disputed child Senator Hennessys brain, the
so-caled Hennessy commission act 1t is beyond dis
pute and likewise resurrection. Its obsequies were
pronounced yesterday by the Supreme Court. There
are some who insist that the act still lives and
they will go to the Errors Court if the learned
doctors of the law reanimate it, but this seems to
be forlorn hope.
But Senator Hennessy is of the opinion still
All the learned doctors of law in the land could not
convince the Bergen statesman that his precious
progeny is dead and was in fact born dead. Even
an opinion by the Errors Court sustaining the Su-
preme Court judges cannot shake his faith in the
vitality of a law which he has regarded as sound
legally as the United States Constitution and high
up in morals as the Mosaic law.
It was with seorn and contumely that Senator
Hennessy and likewise some of his newspaper sate-
ites treated the deliberate judgment of Newarks city
counsel that legislative bill not legally worth
the paper it printed
When careful New York lawyer had advised
client against the purchase of bonds under the Hen
messy act the Bergen senator rushed into print and
delivered a long extra judicial opinion which he
didy believed disposed of the New York lawyer and
Newark's city counsel Nor was he feazed bit when
Bennett Van Syckel of the foremost constitutional
lawyers of the State declared that the Hennessy act
was legally still-born.
Fortunately the act was put to the test of the
courts in time to avoid the great mischief it would
have caused if the act had been allowed to stand
law of the State for few years, But the average
citizen marves that reckless legislation of this kind
should be possible at Trenton and that Legislative
should be signed regardless of legal advice that
violated the State Constitution.
