DdrTOU'S Latest Joke

MR.. CLARENCE BARROW. the able
4Nl Chicago lawyer, has associated with
alienists and psychoanalysts over-much,
II is feared. He seems to have lost some
thing of his old power to reason straightly.
He comes forth now TO oppose the prohi-
btion laws with the unique suggestion
that the way to get rid of an offensive
statute is to resist it until il is abandoned
as unenforcible This is in direct antago-
nism with the old-time and widely accepted
theory that the best way to get rid of
an unbearable law is to enforce it.
Of course, Mr.. Darrow is wrong -
wholly wrong. His advice is. in substance,
that every man shall become law unto
himself and that he shall accept nothing
written into the statutes that is in conflict
with his personal views It requires no
great measure of thought to decide where
such largely-empoyed procedure would
end There would be no such thing as law
observance, no such existence as law-abid-
ing. A government might exist under
such conditions, but it would be a tragic
Joke.

The Markings of Language

TT is not well for even the select literati
L TO ignore all the new words or terms
that eXude from human tribulations in
these times, for popular use of them is
likely to put them into the dictionary.
One of the weaknesses in Mr.. Noah Web
sters great work is that il lacks words
expressing the whole story at a glance.
This thought is largely prompted by
the case of Adam VS.. Adam, just closed
IN San Francisco court. Mrs Adam sued
her husband, Richard, a Market st. Jew
eler, for divorce; alleged that at the fam
lly fireside and even at the breakfast
table Richard would read to her from the
newspapers accounts of socially prominent
men being involved in 'the love triangle"
the shopping around after another wom-
an when you've already got one on your
hands. or in your BOSOM Richard read
beautifully too, says Mrs. Adam, and there
wasn't an evening or a morning when San
Francisco society didn't furnish a new
triangle However, Mrs. Adam adds,
the pressure became too great when Rich
ard read and announced, It's really fash
lonable now, and I'm going to be in style"
And somebody concerned in the case
called this fashion ''new-mamaing' 1t is
short. 1t hits. 1t fully expresses. 1t is
easily comprehended by even the children.
1t will likely gets its place with our other

ATARSIAL FOCH, who put an end to
1Nl at least one war, has been inter-
viewed by n Paris newspaper on the sub
lect of putting an end 10 war thru the
league of nations. He is quoted rs say
ing:
The league of nations should possess
practical means of forcing respect for its
decisions, either by means of an interna-
tional army or, in some manner to be
determined, by control Of the national
forces of one or several countries"
Another good man gone wrong, isn't he?
Foch, evidently discouraged by the six
past years efforts toward permanent
peace, has got to believing that laws.
treaties and agreements aren't worth much
without power TO enforce them.
