The Supreme Court’s Troubles Minneapolis Journal: The refusal of Chief Justice Start to make a cam- paign for re-election brings the Min- nesota supreme court into the lime- light. It is just as well to recognize the fact that the status and work of this high judicial body, perhaps through no fault of its own, are not satisfactory either to the bar, to the litigants or to the public. It has not the standing among the state supreme courts that it ought to have. Its work, because of its small member- ship and the rapid increase of h‘tiga-! tion, is too hurried to be thorough. It has been Chief Justice Start’s policy to drive the court at high speed, each justice grinding out so many decisions a week, like a boy do- ing his exercises. Now promptness is highly desirable, for the tedious de- lays of American often serve to defeat the ends of justice. But it is still more important that in a court of last resort the final decis- ions of Jaw should be sound. litigation ~€§ "Mhus it becoines a question wheth= er Justice Start would not have done better to put more emphasis on thor- oughness than promptness. It is true that this would have cluttered up the docket and delayed decisions inter- ‘minably. But this result, while vex- atious and even subversive of imme- diate justice, would have concentrat- ed such public attention on the over- worked and undermanned condition : of the court as to have made changes imperative. What Minnesota needs is a supreme court of seven or nine members, so that it can hear cases in sections, one part sitting while the other works on To accomplish this it will be necessary to amend the constitu- decisions. tion, which limits the membership to five. ture might relieve the court by the It is suggested that the legisla- | establishment of an intermediate court, but this plan tried elsewhere has been found futile and even pro- vocative of still greater delays. Start has labored heroically under an inadequate sys- Chief Justice tem. The legislature has, moreover, loaded him extra-judicial work. His retirement ought to give such point to the need of drastic re- form that the legislature will submit up with a well-considered plan to the people. New Tariff Promises. St. Paul Dispatch: After his con- sistent opposition to every downward revision of the tariff proposed by the last session of congress and his de- feat of every measure looking to a reduction of important duties which was agreed upon by the Progressive- Democratic combination, little confidence will be inspired by the an- nouncement made by President Taft Wednesday that he will, if elected, very call an extraordinary session of Con- gress to bring about a downward re- It is given out that he “un- equivocally promised that the tariff should be revised downward.” This does not mean that the president has seen any new light since the adjourn- Congress. vision. ment of His views of downward revision have undergone no change in the interval. It means that he will endeavor to revise the tariff as he thinks it should be revis- ed, with the assistance of a new con- gress that will be in accord with his views. It will be strange if the American people are disposed to place any co! fidence in the president’s tariff prom: ises. They have had some experience in that line and it is not calculated to inspire them with a desire to renew it. The character of downward re- vision that would be satisfactory to Mr. Taft may be determined better by his acts than by his promises. His vetoes speak louder than his cam- paign interviews. His promises, furthermore, predicated upon the reversal of the are house political majority. Something of an optimist is necessary to foresee a change as radical as this. If the next house is to have a majority in line with the tariff policy indicated by the presidential vetoes, the temper of the country has been wonderfully misconstrued by those most compe- tent to read the signs and foretell po- litical results, THIS DATE IN HISTORY. 1601—Louis XIII of France born.

Three boys from Yale, Princeton and Harvard were in a room when a lady entered (says Life). The Yale boy asked languidly if some fellow ought not to give a chair to the lady; the Princeton boy slowly brought one, and the Harvard boy deliberate ly sat down in it.
