nounces as a forgery that any man

"Hue Sky" and-liberty.
Three judges ot tho federal Court,
sitting together at Detroit last week
pronounced tho Michigan "blue sky1'
law unconstitutional, because it its
an unwarranted interference ou the
part ot tho state with "Individual lib
erty." Tho right of an individual to
vontura his substance, is beyond tbo
police power of tho state to control,
according to thts determination
This application of tho doctrine of
''cayea ewptor" is one of the sup
porting reasons for tho demand for
reform Jn court procedure, It was
not the purpose, ot tho Michigan leg
islature, or tho legislature of any ot
tho other statos that havo adopted
"bluo sky" ;aws, to intorfero with
any proper right of an individual;
tho lawmakors merely sought to af
ford protection to citUons by com-
polllpg promoters to submit their
propositions to compotent examina
tion, so the rectitude of their pur
poso might bo established. In so
acting, it seems, tho state has ex
ceeded its power, i
But tho Ja.y mind, unaccustomed
to the windings through which the
judiclaj approaches its state of
"sweet reasonableness," is likely to
laeulre way, if the. state can protect
its ejUaens against bedlly danger,
against; etffctagleus' dleease, and In
ether way?' it cannot make provision
to guard against the wildcatters who
seek to sejwrate the unwary from
his Money?
Surface indications are that the
federal Judges ot .Michigan are not
U Una with modern thought.

The Reck Island announces planti
for the abolition ot its two holding
companies. Yes, and tho NeiV
Haven waa willing to dlssolvo itself
into its component parts, each going
Its way, when it found that It waa
no longer possible to pursue tho old

OMAHA, Jai. 30. To th Editor ot The
Bee: The laws ot God require the same
obedience from both eexes, but tho laws
of man allow privileges to ono a-x which
are denied to the other, and It is not
Intended that laws shall be passed which
the majority of the people, on account
of human fralltr, cannot and will not
Obey.
Certain social sins are committed by
a large majority of unmarried men, and
Uit majority cannot be puntshcdt neither
can iney suner disgrace, lor marnca
men cannot reproach them with crimes
they must acknowledge nearly all men
have been guilty of, and women for some
reason will not condemn young men for
sowing wild gats. Men as a rule do not
ValUo the opinion ot women for they
know that women are Inclined to ridi
cule anyone who Is awkward, timid or
poorly dressed; but a man may sit with
his brethren in a lodge composed of the
most htghly cultured men of the age, and
If he wears overalls and tap boots, he Is
considered a "properly clothed" as any
of the officers In dress suits.
Women can seldom distinguish between
the ruitlo and refined, between the cul
tured and the crude, except by external
appearances, and this Is the reason that
men are never disgraced as long aa they
escape the clutches of the law, and keep
up appearances.
It Is true that there should be but one
social and moral standard for both
eexes, but this Ideal Is so hlch and bo
far distant, that mankind can have no
reasonable hopes of reaching It without
divine assistance.
When I visit a ms,n J am not forced
to carry him flowers and candy, nor pay
his way Into the theater, and if he makes
remarks about my clothes when I am
gone, he will bo looked upon as a "cad,"
