Careless Law-Making
The state and national legislatures, Senator Root told the American Bar Association several -weeks ago passed 62,014 lawB during the past Ave year.s. Mr. Root made a plea for more careful work drafting laws, and for lesa of what he called "sloppy legislation."
A few years ago a certain United States senator was overheard talking with great vehemence. "When the people rise in their might and demand a law of this kind" he remarked, con¬ cerning the agitation for a certain statute, "it is useless to oppose them.'
"But what will such a law amount to ?" inquired a by-stander.
"Nothing whatever" replied the senator. "The people will then turn their attention to something else, and forget all about it."
Many law.s are .so carelessly drawn that there is a law-suit, in every .sen¬ tence, due to indefinileness. The man who wrote them could not Ret a job as a now.spSper reporter, until he had learned to write with more precision.

The Ethics of Hunting
Ij&te Fall means to many men the call of wild life. The sUrt for the woods, with old friend rifle over their shoulder, the companion of a hundred camping trips, is like the release of the boy from school.
Humanitarian people say the hunter Is cruel. Do any of our nimrods feed a bit uneasy of conscience as they set out on. the old familiar trail?
Tt.9 sportsman has standards today which his father nerer conceived. Years ago it was customary for whole towns to choose up for competitive side hunts. Hunters of known prow¬ ess would organize competing teams. For a week the outlying country would echo and re-e<ho with the bang of rifles and shot guns. Finally there was a glorious feast from flesh of bird and bea.'it.
Sporting sentiment would hardly permit such wholesale butchery today. It is concerned with the preservation of every 8.pecle8 of wild life, ready to abstain from shooing any beneficial variety wlhch seems to be growing less.
Extreme humanUarians attack even the shooting of harmful beasts and birds. Yet life in the wilder sections of the country is still a conflict be¬ tween the farmer and his useful dom¬ esticated flo<-ks on one side, and the prowlers of 'he forest on the other. Every l>ear killed means securer life fo the little woolly lamb. When you come down to suffering, which gets the worst of it, the rabbit whose life is abruptly ended by your shot gun, or his brother who es<;ape5 the hunter, only to be carried off squealing for a feast in Brer Fox's den?
Why malte so much talk about tbe eflflciency of the army, when It makes such attractive lawns at the aMIiUry posts?
The princiiml qualifications of a good railroad man nowadays are abili¬ ty to talk well before the investigat¬ ing committees.
Some churches are trying newspa¬ per advertising this fall. It Is the easiest way to shake hands with the whole town, and invite 'em all in.
It is predicted that women will wear extremely short skirts next year, but probably not because you can do more housework thereby.
At the present rate of si)e€d of the courts, the trust magnates will flnd out whether they have got to be jailed or not some time after they are dead.
THANKS
In writing a war bulletin, when the enemy fails to gain ground, they are defeated and repul.sed; when your troops fail to gain ground, they win a glorious victory by holding thoir positions.
Oh thou great central spirit Life!
Accept (Jur mt'ad of praise Because we're free from war swept strife;
The bloody battle's craze.
We thank Thee that no screaming Are bursting o'er our main;
Our sons fac« not the slaughter hells, ; We mourn no million slain.
Thankful, yes! Thanksgiving Day '
Who on their knees are not, I
Give thanks and pray or chant a lay |
On earth's one peaceful spot. I

Carrying Your Ovvn Bundles
Students of economies liave long been talking about the way the cost of food products is increased by de¬ livering goods from stores to the con¬ sumer's door. Secretary of Commerce Redfleld, in a speech delivered at the Boston Pure Food fair, urged women to carry their own bundles.
In society circles eome women would not now be willing to sally out with a market basket, unless they were sure their neighbors would not see them. Tt would seem almost so¬ cially lowering to carry home a roast of pork.
The ordinary run of people might not thus bo affected by tho damning appearance of a brown paper parcel. But they do not seem to have time to do their own marketing.
The business man does not probably make quite as long lime at his oiiice as formerly. Bul his time is filled up more olosely. His father used to quit work at his place of business rather late, then he would go home and go to l>ed before nine o'clock. The son has his lodge or his cluUiOf an enter¬ tainment to attend In the evening,
Wliere~^omen used to formerly cir¬ culate among the markets and grocery stores, now they order largely by tele¬ phone. They are governed very con¬ siderably by the advertisements they read in the newspapers. They are so busy with church wtofR, twidge and clubs, that there seems to be no time left for the marketing their mothers used to do.

The Thanksgiving Feast
The old-time Thanksgiving dinner was a kind of cookery tournament. In many large fjftnilies, it was the custom for the different households to take turns in entertaining the en¬ tire clan. The housewife who had the dinner to give felt that shft must equal if not surpass all previous rec¬ ords. Consequently there was an ai^ ray of fleshly delicacies fit to feed a king. It was far in excess of the wants of even the large company as¬ sembled.
Persons ot weak digestion viewed the onslaught with apprehension. If they did not partake generously of all the dishes, the hostess might take of¬ fense. It might seem a reflection on her culinary triumph.
Thanksgiving in many country households was a time for display of your winten^_pto<k ot provisions. It was an exltibition day of all of the traditional housewifely arts of the older American home.
The modern idea ot going to some hotel for dinner seems comparatively a return to simple life. In money it is apt to be cheaper. But it dissl- rates almost the last remraint of the original home-coming sentiment of Thanksgiving Day.
SINGER AT^CASINO
Quality counts whether in merchan¬ dizing or in amusements. The thea¬ tre going puWic has grown more dis¬ criminating. Keen, astute, resource¬ ful is Jack Singer, the acknowledged peer of Burlesque producers. The success of the "Behman" show offered In Its annual edition during recent years, has demonstrated the manage¬ rial quality of Mr, Singer.
In Lew Kelly, Mr. Singer discovered an exponent of new .style of comedy, potent in appeal through its absence of the roughness. Mr. Singer has demonstrated the fact tliat burlesque can be made clean and palatable and tliat the theatre going publit; api)re- ciatps clean fun entertainment.
The Behman show in the latest and most attractive form of this .'^eason Lew Kelly presents a new siiiiply ol' ills iiiiniitahlH wilticisnis and the as¬ sisting contingent includes both old ^voriles and new i)orform«.-'rs. .\ beauty chorus presents the most pre¬ tentious popram of ensciubbs t!iar Mr. Singer has <• ver olYered,
