...act is inexpedient. a. It attempts to legislate against something which it cannot define; Cong. Record, pp. 4254; 6391. b. Actions before Circuit Courts entail needless expense on those least able to bear it; Cong. Record p. 3254. c. The heavy penalties of the act are not likely to be enforced by juries...
...student committee which has in charge the subscription for the proposed library reading room may well feel proud of the work which has been done, and can rest assured that the large amount of money they have raised from the students, already overburdened with demands for help, will act as a forcible argument for the urgency of the object.

The opera continues this week and next...
