CITY OFFICIAL
MULTIPLICITY Counciman Horton at the Wednesday night ses
OF STATUES sion of the city council touched the key note of the sit
uation in every state in the Union when he declared that there are now on
tne statute books hundreds ot laws that are never enforced and tnat tne var
ious cities and towns are merely adding to the general confusion by the multi
plicity of ordinances that they enact.
Some one has said that the trouble with the United States is that "we
are a too much governed people." There are too many laws that are jammed
into the statute books of the state at every session of the legislature. When
congress meets, every member of the national body feels that his constituents
at home expect him to enact some sort of an idea into law and that his re
election to the same seat is not an assured fact unless there is a federal law
rliat hpnrs hU name.
As a result, the country suffers from law. It groans under the weight
of statutes and court decisions. Annually, the legal printing houses issue
libraries of decisions from the various courts that interpret the laws that have
been made and that, by their interpretation, really enact new statutes to add
to the general burden and confusion.
In spite of this fact, however, the law is generally administered with
an even temper and with the spirit of fairness and equality to all classes
and conditions of persons in every unit of government. Sometimes crimin
als escape the punishment that their offences deserve on a technicality in the
construction of the law but the spirit of the courts everywhere is growing
more and more toward the principle that justice cannot be served by a technic
al construction of the statutes and that above everything else the justice
and equity of every case should determine its merits on appeal.
So general has this spirit prevailed through the courts of the various
states, that some of the legislatures have guaranteed decisions built on that
theory by requiring the sumpreme courts to consider only the MERIT of
the cases on appeal and to neglect the technical points that may be raised
unless the interests of the party appellant are so injured as to necessitate a
leversal of the decision of the lower court.
At the same time and in spite of this construction of the law, the people
of the United States are too much governed. There is a law for everything
uimci nit auii. jli ntw " - ' i 1 iii 1 1 "j
500 misdemeanors that may be committed in some states for every one" of
which there is a penalty. In addition to this vast library of offences, there
are the felonies against laws of the state that entitle the offender to a term
in the penitentiary or to a fine of extraordinary severity.
So much has America come to be governed, that the congress of the
United States, the legislature of the several commonwealths, and the councils
of the various cities and towns have exercised a'paternal influence over the
people of the units which they govern. Into the everday affairs of life, the
hand of some authority is dipped. . ' .
Codification and simplification of laws bring the statutes down to date
and make them easier of access but, in an incredibly short time, the legisla
tures enact other statutes and other laws that put the codes out of date and
that again make the legal situation more complex and puzzling than ever.
Fewer laws and better laws is a slogan that has been used by commer
cial organizations in several of the states and has had a wholesome effect upon
the legislatures in putting a damper on their ardor to enact laws and to fill
legal libraries. -
An effort toward the manufacture of few laws and better ones has been
made in some states where experts on legislative enactments are maintained
as a part of the official family and where every measure is examined and
weighed before it leaves the committee rooms and passes into the legislative
chamber.
; Too much law, too much government is the trouble with the United
States as it with Germany, to a greater extent. This country and every
other country under the sun would be better, would gain more material
progress, would simplify the common every day affairs were there less in
When American Business Men Stand
Alone Lobby Will End
i
By Vice President THOMAS R. MARSHALL
AS American business is being run. at present, the business man is
BOUND TO SPEND MONEY AND TO HAVE A EEPRE
SENTATIVE NEAR THE CAPITAL. I am not saying
whether thi money is spent honestly or not.
When business is in a state of mind where it regards congress as the
creature that OPENS AND CLOSES ITS DOORS EVERY DAY
you are going to have money spent around the capital. The big busi
ness men are going to have their representatives in Washington.
I think the great point of the lobby investigation is to clear the air
and prove that it is NOT NECESSARY TO DEPEND ON CON
GRESS FOR BUSINESS PROSPERITY.
The spending of money about the capitol by the men who stand for
big business is only the natural outgrowth of the business man's attitude.
THE AMERICAN BUSINESS MAN OUGHT TO FORGET THE LAW
MAKERS. HE DOES NOT NEED TO DEPEND ON THIS LAW OR
THAT. IT ONLY HURTS HIM AS A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCER.' THE
LOBBY WILL END NATURALLY WHEN. THE BUSINESS MAN STANDS
ON HIS OWN FEET AND IS READY TO GIVE AND TAKE WITH THE
WHOLE WORLD.

the way of law making and more in the way of law enforcement. '
Many laws with lax enforcement of those we have tend to breed con
tempt for all law and instill the spirit of law breaking from the start.
Every law now on the statute books of every unit of government should be
enforced to the letter. If the people do not like the statute, they have the
opportunity of wiping it from the records.' But as long as the statute stays
among the laws of this state or nation it should be enforced from the start
and every executive officer is charged with the duty of seeing that it is en
forced and accomplishes the purpose that the congress or legislature of the
state intended that it should when it was placed among the enactments of
the governmental unit for which it was designed.

THE INVITATION.
COME on, brother: Take it easy tor a
day.
Let's be truants, blithe and breezy, out
for play.
Here's, a spot forplesant dreaming
Where the slender birches sway.
Here's a pool where trout are gleaming
If your thoughts for fishing stray.
Rest a bit from toil and scheming and
' we'll play.
T-TERE the air is soft and hazy. It's a
crime
Not to linger and be lazy for a time.
So while summer skies are warming
And the heart beats all In rime
Let us steal a day from farming.
From our dally grit and grime.
Let us stop where life is charming for a
time.
rpHEN when we have rested, neighbor,
-- Loafed and loitered for a day.
We'll go back again to labor
All the better for our play.

OLD SHIPS.
BY wharves that droop to voiceless
tides
The faded ships remain.
On creaking spars the north wind
rides
And weeps the winter rain.
Gray, battered veterans of the sea.
They swing with listless sway.
Aroused no more by storm wind's glee
Or upward splashing spray.
But In the night when all the din
Of life around is still
Their voices rise In accents thin.
High with the old glad thrill.
They dream of billowing, bellied sail.
Of whitecaps' gay salute.
Of faroff comrade's cheery hail.
Of seagull's raucous hoot.
Of voyage far. when wind and wave
Called gently from the sea; '
Of mates who in a gloomy grave
Shall sleep eternally.
Beside the wharves they strain a'nd swing.
Gray dreamers of the tide:
No more to hear the breakers sing
Or brave the sea wastes wide.
Arthur Wallace Peach.
LOVE AT SEA.
WE are In love's land to
day. Where shall we go?
Love, shall we start or
stay
Or sail or row?
There's many a wind and way
And never a May but May.
We are in love's hand today.
Where shall we got
Our land wind is the breath
Of sorrows kissed to death
And Joys that were.
Our ballast Is a rose.
Our way lies where God knows
And love knows where.
We are in love's hand today.
Our seamen are fledged loves; '
Our masts are bills of doves.
Our decks fine gold:
Our ropes are dead maids' hair;
Our stores are love shafts fair
And manifold.
We are in love's land today.
Where shall we land you. sweetT
On fields of strange men's feet
Or fields near home, 4
Or where the fire flowers blow.
Or where the flowers of snow
Or flowers of foam? N
We are in love's hand today.
Land met she says, where love
Shows but one shaft, one dove.
One heart, one band.
A shore like that, my dear,
Lies where no man will steer.
No maiden land.
