SENATOR COFFEY MADE LAWS ' NOW STUDIES HOW HE DID IT Jons b. Coffey a a student of the law. Not Just a common reader of tha books, ens who easts bla sys ovsr tha printed paga and formulates bis own opinion, but one of those who pay good money to have some ooe else tell them how the law is put together, and why. ' Also how it can ha torn snsrt. In other words he Is a .regularly en rolled member of the law department v u uuiTWRiif or u re iron. . Under ordinary circumstances and conditions such a state of fact would provoke no comment But this Is dif ferent. Mr. Coffey Is a man of dlscra tlon. Ha Is 40 years old. at least. He has made laws during one session of the Ore son leslalaturs tha mm..r.ki days of 1107. He has been a candidate for mayor of Portland. He was after wards a oandldate for reelection to the legislature and Is now a member of the senate. He has been spoken of as a candidate for president of the senate. Ha also would Ilka to ha naitmut,, n succeed Jdhn Mlnto, He Is also a pros perous and shrewd business man end operates a large tailoring establish ment on Washington street. Mr. Coffey hss not said why hn has become a student of the law. Perhaps it is because he has to make them. Per haps it ia because be has aspirations that soma time yet to come ha will hsva to enforce them. Anywsy ha Is now hard at work learning all ths whssls, and springs, and screws, nails, bolts, straps and bars that underllo, overlie, support, circumscribe, solidify. spvern, bind and bound to tbe laws In its Inception, its birth, its infancy, maturity, old ass and death. In othar words ha is a law student. fiEfOfflEMIIJ 6 PAV0R SPOKAKE , .
