Murdoch inquires about will be in sight." "How would you drive it home?" said Y.D. "We have too many laws already." "Let us agree on that. The acceptance of this principle will make half the laws now cluttering our statute books unnecessary. I merely urge that we should treat the CAUSE of our economic malady rather than the symptoms."
He just naturally went in and beat Rucker half to death in his own store. How did you do it?" "I assure yo' it was no sinecure," laughed the tall, dark youth. "I earned my fee." "Yes," grumbled Webb, "but he got six months and I got to take care of him. Cluttering up my jail with dirty beasts like Mex Ryan! Could just as easy have turned him loose!"
