Nhat ''the end of eight years of Repub-

He urged voters to weigh campaign

Lovelorn Write Department of Justice
For Rulings on Domestic tranquility

the department from its establishment
in 1889 to the present day.
The department was at first known
only as the attorney generals Office,
Mr.. Farnum said, and It was not until
1870 that its name became the Depart
ment of Justice. In the beginning 1t
consisted of only one man, the Attorney
General himself. His salary was $500
q year and no provision was made for
an Office or for any assistance.
In 1878 the department was aug
nented by the creation of a post OF
clerk to the Attorney General. This job
paid $500 year, out of which the
clerk had to supply his own stationery.
the paper set forth.
Previous to 1870 the various depart
ments had their own solicitors. but
when the Office became known as the
Department of Justice this work was
transferred to It. The scope of its work
has increased until the present, the
paper said. when 1t is not only the
largest law Office In the world. but also

Just because the preamble of the
Constitution of the United States says
that one of its purposes is Ito insure

people should write to the Department
of Justice for adyice on matrimonial
matters and counsel to the lovelorn, In

In paper which was read to men,

c. Clark Mr.. Farnum said that the
department receives many letters ask
ING advice and assistance in domestic
matters which lack that tranquility of
which the Constitution speaks. Un-
fortunately, he explained, this branch
Of the Government has no facilities for
dealing out such assistance.
