THE GROUNDS and RUDIMENTS

OF THE LAW. In 4. Volumes

By William T. Hughes, author of Hughes on Procedure, and Hughes on Contracts. Published by Usona Book Company, Price $15.

Chicago, Ill.

Hughes on the Rudiments of the Law is work of so vast a conception as to be hard to describe by reason of its magnitude, and paradoxically as it may seem, so simple after its machinery is examined, that the surprise is that among the learned discussions on Law Reform, etc. no one else has even hinted at this grand yet simple plan of mastering the law. It almost recalls the dinner given Columbus in honor of his discoveries, when a jealous guest said that "any one else could have done what Columbus did." Upon which Columbus handed him a boiled egg and told him to place it on end. After many trials to make the egg stand the jealous guest gave it up. Upon which Columbus seized it, gave it a tap on the table and it stood. "I never thought of that," said the jealous guest. "True," said Columbus, "the same with the discoveries." It takes a great mind to make a great subject simple. Mr. Hughes has given the Profession one of the best sets of law book that have been written this century. He has so arranged the law as to be able to focus it all before his mental vision. He has taken in every slope and every valley, every stream and every rill-He has not wasted his time with the delta streams of the legal Nile, but has gone up its Karnaks, its Memphis and its Thebes and reached the sources of its eternal flow-and when viewed in its entirety, he has simply wrote a Directory as to how to find the controlling principles on each and every subject. He has accomplished just what an accurate compiler of a directory would for

the public. He has given Main street as a datum post, and called it by the maxim that underlies the principle and from which its kindred spring, and as a directory you find each place from one end of the avenue to the other. He takes you to another street and there you see the maxim on its finger board and you proceed to find the desired point and so on until all maxims are exhausted and you have canvassed the great city or metropolis of the law. As said by the editor of the Chicag› Legal News; "The student who will read and digest the contents of this work will find himself possessed of a foundation of the broadest character, a knowledge of basic principles which, applied to the various phases of legal situations arising, will mark him an unusual man among his fellows.

WORLD CORPORATION.
By King C. Gillette.

This is a beautifully printed and well bound octavo volume of 240 pages and some illustrations; it also contains the portrait of the author, and a number of other illustrations.

This book is written something on the style of "Bellamy Looking Backward," and yet it may be termed "Gillette Looking Forward." The burden of its discussion is upon the subject and possibility of a universal incorporation of all industries and out of which every individual would derive benefit.

The thoughts of the author are interesting, but only by reading the whole book can one see the force of the arguments presented. For one dollar a copy can be secured from the publisher: The New England News Company, of Boston, Mass.

EDITORIALS

In last month's issue we published (the notice and the program of the meeting of The Oklahoma State Bar meeting. We again call the attention of the Bar that it takes place on the 28 and 29 of this month, at Oklahoma City, and that the address of Ex-Chief Justice Frank Doster will occur on the evening of the 28th.

For the benefit of many readers we have outside of the State of Oklahoma, ws have published Senate Bill No. 8 passed a few days since by the extra session of the Oklahoma Legislature. There has been much misrepresentation of facts in many newspapers relative to the Capital removal, both as to the action of the Governor and as to the methods used by Oklahoma City people; so that by printing this bill in its entirety in a permanently bound magazine in which the actual proposal of Oklahoma City is incorporated in the Act of the Legislture, the true facts of the whole transaction are seen with all it mutual safe guards. The truth is that while the executive may have been hasty in calling the extra session there were pending propositions in which not a few thousands of dollars were offered the State but a clean million, and the Capital removal like "Banquo ghost would not down." The dear old city of Guthrie naturally hated to lose it, but it had to come sooner or later.

In an opinion to the governor the Attorney-General holds that the section of the constitution relating to the election of representatives to fill vacancies is self-executing and that the governor can fix the date of said elections, to be conducted as nearly as possible like the regular elections.

Senator Owen who is ever vigilant to his official duties and the interests of the State, did on the 5th instant introduce two, short, but far-reaching bills in the Senate of the United States, and which we take pleasure in here reproducing.

A BILL To Forbid the Issuance of License for the Sale or Manufacture of Intoxicating Liquors or Beverages within the Limits of any State prohibiting the Sale or Manufacture thereof.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That no license for the sale of intoxicating liquors or beverages, or for the manufacture thereof, shall hereafter be issued to an officer of the United States within the limits of any State prohibiting the sale or manufacture thereof.

A BILL To Forbid the Shipment, by Common Carriers, of Liquors, or Beverages, Containing Alcohol, into States having laws Prohibiting the Sale of Liquors, or Alcoholic Beverages, in such States.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Reprentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That no common carrier shall hereafter ship into any State alcohol liquors, or beverages, where the laws of such State forbid the manufacture or sale thereof.

SEC. 2. The violation of this statute shall subject every officer, agent, or servant, of such common carrier, taking part in such shipment, or delivering the same to the consignee, to imprisonment for not less than one year for each offence.

In an opinion to J. G. Krouse, clerk of the board of education at Shawnee, Attorney General West holds that before he can approve the issuance of bonds to the amount of $50,000 by that board it will be necessary for the board to furnish him an authenticated transcript of all proceedings had in relation to said bonds, competent proof that Shawnee is a city of the first class, boundaries of the district, all existing indebtness, etc.
