Legislatures can enact laws hut the enforeement of them is another matter. A citizen lias, or thinks lie has, some grievance which mi^ht he removed !>y the passage of a law, and he applies to his representative in the Legislature, helieviiie" llial if the bill is passed and become a law it will be enforced and the evil oi which he complains forever removed. Experience teaches thai thisisoftena mistake. Thai many laws entirely fail of enforcement. and never answer the ends for which they were intended, although those ends were good, is shown by the fact that there are now on the statute books several acts of seeming importance, which are entirely overlooked and forgotten. Some years ago the people in many sections of the county were bothered a good deal with mischievous cattle. Many of our farmers, some because they lacked the timber and means with which to buy it, some from other causes, neglected to have good fences around their farms. The logical conclusion was that the mischievous cattle were proinunni..io?.l > iwl 4l.?ln*?n1i? - \?v?vvvt ? I \ IIIOUIIK irill ill.VI VIVUlJMIIil tod fences.. Our representatives were allowed no rest until tlioy obtained the passage of a law making il unlawful to cultivate a crop in llorry county under a fen 'o less than II feet in height. No doulit those who were anxious for the passage of this law believed that as soon a.-, it was pns.si'd the evil would begin to disappear and would, l>y decrees, ?row out of remembrance, but they arc conscious now that the law is a disappointment. They see all over the county, fences which fail to conic up to the required height Mhey arc as dclapidafed as over. The mischievous cow has to be watched as closely as ever. The law is not enforced because its enforcement would involve too many. It might be safe to say that a majority of the small farmers would be liable to prosecution and conviction under this law. We have heard of no conviction of violation of this net during the whole time that it has been on the statute books. The law is a dead letter simply because it failed, for some reason, to hate public sentiment on its side. A number of years ago a law was enacted making it a penal olVense to sell tobacco in any form to a minor. The law was so utterly disregarded that its existence was known to very few. Many a shop keeper has sold tobacco all along to the boys of his town and does not know to-day that such a law was ever enacted by the Legislature. It was never enforced and afforded no remedy whatever for (he evil at which it was aimed. It did not have sufficient public sentiment in its favor to make it successful. There are scores of other laws on our statute books which, like the ones above mentioned are hardly known to exist by the masses of the people, and are openly violated every day The tendency of our modern Legislatures is toward too much law. The less law we have the easier it is for the masses to reail and understand. Legislators should study Ion# and deeply before t hey docide to repeal a law which is old and well 3stablished as common knowledge of the country. By the repeal of old laws, and the passage of new laws to take their places, and >y numerous intendments to the laws which are illowed to stand; the mass of the aw becomes complicated and hard to understand. It is not all evils which will adnit of remedy by Legislative enactnent. Some evils arc necessary, >r rather seem to be so. It is forunato that the class of evils which lo not admit of Legislative remedy, ire of minor importance as compard <o others. If the evil does not adnit of remedy it is useless to Legisate against it, and the legislator s simply encumbering the statute looks to no purpose. We arc in favor of biennial scs-/ lions of the legislature. EOPL flARION, i D PREPARED TC "(//I irilli u iilin/itert orders j ia tulle f heir ero//s a nd sec-1 nent of lr.
