A SCHOOL FOR LEGISLATION.

It Is a question which is the
greater menace to the public welfare,
the professional jaw-smith or the
law-smith.
It is stated from the records that
in five years the statute hatcheries
have incubated 47,000 new laws.
This is largely the result Of send
ing a certain variety Of legal lumi-
naries to the legislatures and to con-
gress who amend, enact and tinker
with the codes.
Now II is proposed to add chair
OF legislation to our colleges and uni
versities and graduate legislation fo-
menters as one of the learned profess
sions.
The theoretic highbrows Of profes-
sions are now largely responsible for
much OF the uplift legislation under
which taxpayers stagger and business
and prosperity languish.
A chair to electrocute about two
thirds OF what is enacted in the name
OF legislation would be more appreci-
ated by the people.
But more laws create public Jobs,
pile up taxes, require more courts.
and multiply judgeships and other
court officials.
Incidentally, the enforcement o..
or efforts to comply with, the thou
sand and one laws makes business
for one class-more lawyers.

Heard and Overheard
(By Lynn D. Mowat.)
Ring Out, Glad Bells.

The Portland Humane Society is
backing a movement to have bells
put on cats to prevent them from
killing songblrds. We would also
suggest having bells put on songbirds
30 that they would scare away the
worms, and bells on the worms so
that the would scare away the plants
on which they feed, and bells on dogs
so that they would scare away the
cats and save their lives, and bells on
dog catchers so they would scare
away the dogs and save their lives,
and, and, and-why not put bells on
all envelopes containing bills mailed
to you, so that the bells would scare
you away and keep you from paying
bills?

WHY is IT?
A dispatch from London says:

'"In coroner's court today, at the
inquest of the cases of victims of
Wednesdays German air raid, the
story Of the destruction Of a school
with the death Of score of children
was told by the teacher. A bomb
dropped directly on the building and
pierced the roof and the two upper
floors without claiming victims there,
but burst in a room on the ground
floor in which thirteen children hard
ly more than infants we're killed.
Some literally were blown to pieces.
Arrangements are being made for a
public funeral for the children, whose
bodies will be buried in one grave,
A monument will be erected over It."
What manner of so-called human
is this German kaiser, anyway, who
orders bombs dropped on unarmed
towns and murders little children?
To our mind it isn't so much that
the kaiser does 1t as that the German
people stand for it.
The kaiser is a half-Englishman,
raised from the cradle to having
everyone toady to him, so 1t is not
to be wondered at that he is an in
sufferable egotist and believes that
any nation that would dare to cross
him should be blotted out root and
branch. But what of the kindly Ger
man people who seem to be support
ing him in his ruthless warfare? Are
they, too. hypnotized by his ego? If
that is true, then there will be a sad
and awful awakening on the part of
the German people.
The psychology Of this war is the
hardest thing for the average man
to grasp.

THE HOUSEKEEPERS' TRADE
JOURNAL.

Every man who is in business needs
some kind of means for finding out
the needs of his trade. II he is in
the shoe line, he needs to read the
news Of the shoe and leather market
as printed in the daily papers.
Very likely he also subscribes to
one or more trade journals giving
the news of the shoe trade. It is
impossible to make wise purchases in
any line without getting information
from experts about market prospects.

HIL0, May 7-Thefe was d pecH
liar railroad accident on Saturday
night last when the 10 o'clock train

The train WAS on its way from Wal.
