Sh-Sh-S

"IL7HAT is Truth" once asked Pontius PLATE with
w Today hundreds of thoughtful men and
women thruout the country are asking also somewhat
sneerngly, another question, What is Secrecy?
Up to within hour of the delivery of the messages
of the late President Harding, not newspaper men
knew what they contained. Even greater precautions
have been used by other presidents
Yet week before President Coolidge released his first
public utterance to congress- its contents were known to
folks the inside from Washington TO New York and
the Friday previous the writer, talking casually with
a company of New Workers, informed that every
stock and bond house Wall Street conversant with
the entire message and had actually sent out "conden-
tal notices bearing the presidents attitude on certain
financial subjects" to clients all the country
By Saturday the entire Eastern seabOard was freely
discussing the message in all its details by Monday all
congress knew just what the president was going to
say and copies of the message common as news
papers in corridors and offices On Tuesday morning
confidential wire messages received by many mem
bers from their friends the Pacific coast giving their
views on this supposed Secret message
For weeks the stage had been set and the public mott
fled with many s-hh-h-hshush that presently the cur
tain would rise and this great message would be thun-
dered forth uterance Of Delphic reverberatons
But instead of the hders of Sinai the public has been
treated to the sibant whispers Of 10000 insiders" who
proved investigation to be merely repeating what
everyone else knew.

The Lam as a Job

IT'S big job this making men good by law and writ
ing sgnboards of supposedly high moral tone that
tell everybody where to head in Justice r. A. Burch of
the Kansas supreme court has dug up few facts the
subject.
In the five years preceding 1914, $500 legisa-
tive acts written the books.
In 1917 1900 volumes of legal reports were
printed.
In the most recent annual compilation of statistics
law books, 175,000 pages printed in year.
Or top of all this the thousands of pages of ru
ings handed down by various boards and bureaus with
semi-judical powers, all of which have bearing le-
gal practice
What is the result of all this having? Always it has
been the accepted theory that ignorance of the law
excuse for the commission of wrong Now it is a good
in fact if not in law. Even the lawyers do not
and cannot know the law Judge Burch himself admits
that lawyers cannot advise their clients safely and the
courts hampered by the present state of the
law and its conflicting views"
What blessing it would be to the country if legisla
tive bodies could for number of years be restricted
solely to repeal work and proper and lucid revision and
condensation of such laws should remain on the books
The present situation is abomnaton in the eyes of
civilization Justice in addition to being blind is choked
to death by the deuge of dncery and distortion that has
fallen upon her.
