Rule 14 provides that an attorney
obtaining any order or judgment
shall within three days prepare a
journal entry and a failure to so do
the order or judgment shall be va-
cated upon motion. This rule simp-
ly means that the attorney shall do
the clerks work and if they neglect
to do so that judgment procured by
them perhaps at hundreds of dollars
of expense shall be vacated.
Rule 17 reached the climax of in-
solence and stupidity. His Royal
(Dis)honor there says: "When a
case is appealed to the district court
from a probate court, justice court,
police court or any other inferior
tribunal unless the party appealing
shall within ten days after said cause
has been tiled in the office of the
clerk of the district court make sucli
deposit or security for costs as may
be required by the clerk * * * upon
the expiration of said period it shall
be the duty of the clerk to forth-
with transmit said papers to the
court or tribunal whence said appeal
was taken." This combination of
learning doub less cannot conceive
that such action of the clerk would
in substance be a perpetual suspen
sion of such judgment because the
loner court could not under the law
issue an execution on such judg
ment until he has received a certified
copy of on order of dismissal signed

Does dancing promote morality?
No.

No.

No.
On the other hand, is it not known

Yes.

It is said hat Nero fiddled while

Judge Scott is dead to all those
ligher and nobler impulses and sen-

odicial officer. He is blinded with
elf-conceit, warped with an inordi-

Lastly we shall notice rule 20 of
his royal edict: All motions at
chambers shall be submitted on
written argument. Two of our law-
yers spent a week in Oklahoma City
to call up an injunction matter in
chambers and the judge finally re-
fused to hear it except upon written
argument and placed the attorneys
to ?20.00 costs to present an argu-
ment of 30 minutes in writing. He
did not have time to hear it, but he
had time to spend two half days in
Guthrie at banquets and in debauch-
