MEN OF LAW AT A PREMIUM

"One of the boys put me on to a

respectable looking people in the room.

me the value of the cards when the

when arraigned at the police court L
wanted a lawyer, and there was a gen.
eral laugh in the court when his honor
replied with a smile:

A Legislative Reform.
I'm the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post.
New Jersey Is considering another legis-
l. alive reform. She has radical-minded
citizens who favor lawmaking in the open.
AT present, the title of a bill may tell
nothing specific about its contents. What
is a member of a Legislature to gather
from q title like this: An act to amend
an act. which is supplemental to an act
to amend an act applying TO courts hay
Ing criminal iurisdiction?'
in New York. the law provides that tht
title OF a bin shall define ii: but the New
Jersey reforlncrs would go farther than
this and have the introducer Of a bin file
with It q brief setting forth its purpose.
| Including the name OF the law. if any, il
| intends 20 alter. If by this proposal 1t is
| meant that the legislator who introduces
. the bin shall himself draw up such a brief,
New Jersey mas found an effective way
+. of rei1cing the number Of measures ap-
pcarinE al Trenton.
But we hardly suppose that the advo-
! Gates OF this innovation contemplate SO
| drastic a result. The folly of trusting
wholly to any device. however. is plair
from the fact that "iokers'' or snakes
/ are known to find their way even into ac-
c~ur4tcly titled bills at Albany.

in the dispatches. 1t fires the same
cartridge as the rifle. but has them

The Germans AVE these guns posted
