DIVIDED SESSION WOULD BE BETTER.
. As time draws near for the end of the present session
of the legislature theneed of a divided session and a limit
on the amount of legislation that can be introduced be
comes more and more apparent.
There are but three dasy more than a week n nv left in
which to complete the work of the session and yet bills are
.still being introduced in the senate. All of the committees

A BLOW TO BLACKMAIL.
Once more the United States supreme court has settled
a ridiculous law by simply applying the rule of common
sense.
This time it is the miscalled "white slave law," which
as interpreted and enforced has been making the govern
ment an accomplice in the business of the blackmailer.
This law was clumsily framed and hurriedly passed at a
period of public hysteria, when magazine and other pub
lications had led to the belief that there existed a huge
international syndicate dealing in women. No such syn
dicate has ever been discovered, though individual crim
inals do conduct this horrid traffic, and are constantly be
ing detected and punished under state laws.
The Mann law, through an oversight in wording, was
immediately perverted into an instrument for blackmail.
It made immorality punishable for crossing a state line,
and applied the punishment to the man only.
All that was necessary was for the blackmailer to decoy
her victim across a state line and then threaten him with
the terrors of the law, which made federal judges, dis
trict attorneys and marshals her accomplices. Her pre
vious character, her consent, had nothing to do with the
man's crime.
The supreme court has cut out this blackmail game by

LITTLE BOBBIE'S PA
(By William F. Kirk.)
Mn en tertnined one of Pa's old col
lege chums last nite. Nhe tould I'll af
terwards that Pa's frend was a living
exampel of why thare ain't more col
leges. You oughtent to blaim the colleges,
sed I'a. You must bear in mind tliul
I colleges a hit to blaim for the pecpul
tlint goes into them. I Ins trend ol
mine was always a kind of a bug eeven
wen he went to skool. In those days lie
always sed that 1'ra-guay was Para
guay & that nobody cud tell him any
different, & he sed tlmt the Andes
Mountains was bounded on one side b
the Pacific Oshun & on the other side
by Tennesee. Doant fergit, tho, sed Pa,
that in his erlier days lie made mistuiks
tlint ho hasent made since he grew up.
The man is, a rich man now, sed Pa.
I doant like to meet rich men, sed
Ma. Tli 11 y are all the time telling
; about how tliey niude tliare mutiny, the
'same as a jasper out in the woods wud
be telling pecpul how much cordwond
he piled up. If a man interrups wen
sumbody else is talking who cares I
imunv yellow bills he has in sum safety
I deposit vault !
I Ma was rite at that. The frend that
enim to the house with Pa dident seem
to think of anything much excep his
mutiny. He toald us how he started by
saving the first dollar that he ewer
tmade & how in the course of time tlmt
1 dollar grew into a grute big roll. You
will newer know, he Bed to Pa, the
j real thrill of joy that cams to a nuia
I that has his f irst dollar in the bank.
1. in 1 1 you teei tnnt tnrin you will nev
ver know you are alive.
Then I guess I will always be ded,
sed Pa, beekans the first dollar that I
ewer made t jumped out of my hands
like a kangaroo & if it kep oa going the
i way I started it I guess it is going yet.
1 1 hnvent got anything nggenst a safety
deposit vault, Pa sed, bekaus I newer
hnd any declings with one, nul I know
.tlint a safety deposit box is about the
! only square thing In a lot of hanks, but
I uny time you find me taking a bunch
'of yellow hills out of circu-lation &
jleeving them sumwnre to rot, you will
find sumthing that nobody else ewer
I found.
I I know, sed Pa's fiend, but a man
j ought to t'igger on things.. He ought
to hnve enuff m 11 uny so he enn have
j butlers & livery & fine nttomohilcs.
Hnve you got enny, sed Pa.
! No, sed his frend, but think of the
reel thrill that comes to a man who
j knows lie can have them luxuries all
the time if he only wnnts them.
J You seem to like reel thrills, sed Pa.
S'ow let me tell you sumthing. I have
livcA a few yeers Si I have tried to
figger out things my own littel way.
!This is the way I figger it out. A man
tlmt goes thru the world with a roll of
miiany that isent working is a joke.
I The man has to work for the munny,
jdoesent he, sed Pa. Then why shut! he
j lot the munny bmf around in a safety
deposit vnultl Who wants a butler
anyway! sed Pn, ft livery & fine ot
itomobeels. I know that labor is grnnd
'& noabel, sed Pn, but 1 think that if
jstarving on a pnrk bench or being a
butler mis put up to me, I wud get sum
silvers in my trousers. I cant stnnd
strnte enuff to be a butler, Pa sed.
No, sed Ma, but sumtiines I have seen
vou try to.
