LEGISLATIVE BLUDGEONS.

Americans are a nation Of law
breakers, according to the assertion
of prominent newspaper writer. And
il is no wonder. We are not disposed
to be lawlcss. quite the contrary We
have sought to deal with every detail
of human life and conduct by legis-
lation that it takes a smart man to
avoid breaking some of the laws sup
posing ne has a mind to keep them.
There are positive laws, and there
are laws to be used in certain cases.
\ great many laws have been en-
acted to enable the police powers to
regulate and restrain, rather than
crush certain classes of misdemean-
are justfiablc at some times and
places that become at other times a
menace TO the peace and good order
Of the community. That is the secret
Of our multiplicity of statutes and the
confusion accompanying their en-
forccmcnt. We have often been un-
able to distinguish between acts that
are sinful per Sc and other acts that
are sinful only in combination with
certain conditions and circumstances
We have tried to make the laws to
cover all conditions, SO we have thus
bred Iawlcssncss and disrespcct for
authority. And what is more we have

ContriVed as to quarter the roads with
great ease by the person riding in it,
without lett stop or hindrance, the
horse continuing in the same path,
so as the wheels go exactly at all
times in the coach track. by which
means the person In such carriage

safety and pleasure, both to himself
