{ }. Sharrock, member of the
Legislature from BolIInGer county,
enjoys the distinction of having in
troduced two bills, one by request,
in two sessions of the legislature.
"Sharrock is a farmer and lives at
Patton When making his race for
the legislature two years ago, and at
the last election, he told his constit-
uenls that, if elected, he would in
troduce no bills, but would devote
his time TO looking up the merits
and dement's of bills introduced by
others.
This he has done. Every session
OF the house finds Snarrock in his
seat. He knows where every bad
bill is and he also knows all about
the good ones. He makes no speeches
but is an effective worker against
undesirable bills in a quiet way
among the members. Sharrock is
democrat"

What the Barber Was Doing

A Wyatt Park boy was taken
down into the city by his mother
Tuesday. He had never heretofore
been permitted to have a very init
mate inspection of the various stores
and shops, so he improved his op-
portunity.
In the course of the shopping they
passed an Edmond street barber
shop and of course the boy looked
in. What was the most interesting
to him was the seeming fact that
the barber at the front chair was
torturing his victim by holding a
lighted taper against his head

a good chance of taking the old

Ne Ms From the State CapfrOI

Ofthe eighteen code revision meas
ures drawn by Governor MAJOR S
special code commission and intre-
d,ced in the present assembly
fifteen were reported favorabs this
week by the special committee OF
the lever house. Although the bills
were subjected to the closest scrunity
in committee, they were reported
out with but the smallest of changes,
and with the growing statewide
sentiment in their favor. their Ell
actment is virtually conceded.
One measure in particular thar
drew the attention ,okthe comtAittee
was the ane rewriting the general
powers and duties sf courts Of rec
ords. This bill adds two sections
designed to ~smove some of the in
conveniencet and caHses of delay
incident 10 the preseSt restriction
upon the exercise of the powers Oi
the court only during the term.
The first Of these sections permits
the judge OF any circuit O, criminal
court on reasonable notice 60 call a
special term for the trial OF dispoSi-
ton of any civil OF criminal case or
other business whenever necessary
for the public good. In many cir
cults the court holds but two terms
a year in each county. which some
times lasts only a week. II an i'm
portant case demanding immediate
action comes up after the court has
adjourned. nothing can be done until
the next term and sometimes the
ease has TO wait nearly six months.
even though the judge has nothing
TO do.

Marble Hill, Missouri Thursday, February .S, 1915.

trial in such circuits costs the state
and counties hundreds Of thousands
of dollars a year, which would be
saved by these special terms.
The other section provides that
il the term shall end while civil or
criminal case is on trial, the trial
may continue and be concluded in
the next term without interruption
as though the term, at which ii was
commenced, had not ended There
have been number OF instances
where a trial has been in progress
for many days and not finished by
the end of the term, and under the
present law il had to stop at the end
of the term and be begun all over
again with another jury at the next
term, Owing TO the present law the
last week of every term is practically
wasted because the courts are afraid
TO start trial near the end of the
term.
All this needless expense and
waste of time would be obviated by
this new section.
Among the fifteen of the eighteen
code revision bills reported favorably
in the house of representatives this
week, are several designed almost
exclusively as a benefit to the liti-
CANT and which possibly work as a
burden to the attorneys,
One OF these is the replevin bill
1t provides that suits shall be brought
in the county in which the property
in controversy is situated, and that
the defendant may be served in any
county in the state. For instance, if
a resident of Sedalia owned an au-
tomobile which happened to be in
St. Louis, a resident of St. Louis
claiming the automobile could sue
in ST Louis, replevin the machine
and have the supposed owner in
Sedalia or Joplin served with sum
A,ons without any unnecessary red.
tape
Another measure relates to parti-
ton suits, Ii is proposed in this bill
that the law governing attorneys s
fees in partition suits be amended
by providing that the entire fee shall
not be paid to the attorney bringing
the action as the present Law pro-
vides, but may be popotioned
iamong all the attorneys representing
all parties. in proportion TO the size
,of the interest they represent. 1t is
intended, thus TO discourage the
practice of certain LAWYERS to inSti
gate clients to institute partition
suits for the sole purpose OF enabling
them TO have their fee allowed then
out of the sums realized from the
: sale.
} The proposed hill relating to rea
: estate sales changes the present Law
so that when real estate is ordered
! sold by the court the sales may bt
held on the premises to be sold a,
! well as the court house deor. Thi:

The need of this is more apparent
in cities than in the country districts
In cities a Judge can know but a
very small percentage of the parties
in divorce cases, and where he does
not know them, he is very apt TO he
imposed on in Incontested cases,
where oftimes the guilty party is
permitted by the innocent spouse TO
