While hitched to an ice plow on
Lake Makoino Wednesday, the
team of \V. C. Mason broke through
the ice and was precipitated into
seven feet of water, it required the
combined efforts of several men for
fifteen or twenty minutes to pni!
them out bodily. The harness was
practically ruined otherwise no seri
ous damage was done.
The county statement is some
later to appear in the News Item
than with the Gazette and Review.
The price given to these papers
was of a sufficient amount which
enabled them to get the type set on
i machine. The Republican party
organ through accident got the
publishing of the statement, but at
such a reduced figure that necessi
tates hand composition.
The new road tax law passed in
1005, which makes a change in work

other amendments of the old law

recently. Judge Benton of McKean
sounty, has declared it unconstitu

holding it void, because of uncertain
provisions.

j Our worthy member of the Stale
Legislature, Dr. M. K. Hermann,
! placed himself in the lime light o:
I public attention by offering a reso
lution which was unanimously
| acted upon, calling for the estab
lishment of a club room exclusive
ly for the law makers of Pennsyl
vania. The Philadelphia Inquirer
ridiculed the doctor's idea of a
club room with a large front-page
cartoon, showing our member en
joying the luxuries of club-room
life. Nevertheless our member's
idea is allright and in making the
move he did, places him in a rank
above the average legislator a nd,
we will venture to add, the most
able diplomat Sullivan ever had.
The doctor doubtless realized that
our State has too many obnoxious
laws already and in order to check
ihe nuisance lie wisely undertook
to allure the attention of the Legis
lature to the enjoyment of club
life, or to more fully explain hi
st roke of genius, he was aiming to
side-track the mischief-making
machinery and get it out of the
way of the reform movement now
advancing on the main line from
Philadelphia to llarrisburg. Jt
was a clever move, doctor, get your
Legislative associates interested
in something else besides making
laws. Have too many already.
We are an overlawed people and
it is no wonder laws are falling in
to disrepute. A prominent attor
ney of Dushore. speaking to us re
cently relative to the Tax Sale law,
remarked that it was "one" of the
most vicious laws lie knew of. So
we have vicious law s, preposterous
laws, silly laws, laws that conflict
with other laws, laws that can Lc
construed to mean ado/en different
things, trivial laws, laws that are
not respected, not enforced, not
obeyed. We have laws that lowers
the standard of American citizen
ship, laws that invade personal lib
erty, laws that attack the home,
a ripper law and press muzzier law.
We still have laws that ought tot
to be inforced i l ' they could be and
laws that could not he inforced if
they ought to be. Yes. doctor,
you fully realized all this. You
are possessed with the knowledge
that we have too may laws, too
many ambitious lawmakers, too
