LAWS.
(By George Fitch }
Laws arc rules made b> gov
ernments and sometimes obeyed
by citizens.
A law consists of several thou
sand expensive and complicated
words embroidered around loop
holes. When an ignorant citizen
attempts to read a law, he chokes
0 nthe first, sentence, but a wise
mail can dive right through a
loophole without so much as at
tracting the attention of the stat
ute surrounding if.
Laws are the most fragile
tilings in the world. They are
more fragile than glass. A mere
touch will break u glass, but a
man can break some laws with
out doing anything at all. Many
a man has sat perfectly still while
jliis store1 has burned up and has
gone to jail for it.
When a man breaks a law he is
|not allowed to put it together
1 again. He must pay a fine or go
j to jail or hire a lawyer. Must pe<>
jple prefer I lie latler course. If a
I man careful to hire an expert
; lawyer, lu* can wade through leu
lucres of chinaware and escape all
:punishment except gelling his
I picture in I tie papers.
There are several thousand laws
in each state, so that no one who
desires to fracture a statute need
suffer because of a shortage in
the supply. The average man
breaks a dozen laws a day and
smashes enough in a year to use
up all his salary and all of bis
time in fines and imprisonments.
But he doesn’t know it. Many
laws are entirely unsuspected hy
the public. This is because of
poor advertising. Some laws
which were passed lifty years ago,
haven’t done enough business in
that time to pay expenses.
In some stales a man breaks I In
law when he kisses his wife on
Sunday. This is because there is
no Osier limit on a law. It lives
forever unless killed with an axe.
Everyone breaks lift It* laws but
if a man gives his careful atten
tion to the art, he can break big
ger and bigger laws until he may
eventually be lined $29,000,000
with perfect safety to himself.
A law is supposed to be a great
protection to society, but it is so
much harder to work than a re
volver that many people choose
the latter. To start, a law work
ing, one must use a state’s at
torney, tin honest jury, a judge
with brains, and a supreme court
which isn’t suffering from techni
calities. Many men who can start
an automobile in the dead of win
ter and rnn it with one hand, have
tried to crank up tin* law which
makes it expensive for a railroad
tu cut off legs and arms, and lias
folded with the tiling until In* died
of tdd age without getting n sin
gle explosion.
No Free Assays Made by Geolog
ical Survey.
Attention is again called by Hu*
United States Geological Survey at
Washington to the fact that it
duels not make analyses or assays
of ores, minerals, or metals for
private parties. Many specimens
and samples are received by the
Survey, accompanied by requests
for such treatment, with which
it is impossible to comply. The
force of chemists employed in the
Survey is small, and their lime is
fully occupied by their regular of
ficial duties. .The Geological Sur
vey has no facilities for making
gold and silver assays. The most
that can be done is for the Sur
vey geologists to give an off-hand
opinion based mi a simple exam
ination of the* specimen. If an
assay is desired, the proper
course is to employ a private as
sayer or In send the specimen to
one of tin* government assay of
fices, where a regular pharge is
made for such work. When spec
imens are sent, to the Survey for
examination, applicants should be
particular to stale whether they
wish them returned, as otherwise
they will he destroyed. Govern
ment assay offices are* located at
Garsoii. New; Seattle*. Wash.:

jibe valuation of (he public coal
