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.
