It is upon the facts at last that the merits of a cause mugy depend.” This is pointed and satisfying and expre:ses with what the laity--the chief vietims oi | technical obstructions in our exist ing system-—think abont the matter. Judge Hocker then tells of two bills he prepared for the Legislature of last year designed to secure through a commission a more simplified form of pleading and practice, neither of which became law. He also speaks of the work of the commission subse- quently appointed, which he hadn't [ examined at the time he wrote, and y concludes hig icle with these de- cisive words v will be cheerful reading to eve n who wants to our «ourt foll « od wmoery admirable elearness see in the confiden o t to be e and at the ac- 1 v that our old systems o aboliched, and that a plain gystem for getting tual fac be 3 of all controyve s chould adopted. “If such a system were foind uaon trial to be imperfert or defoctive let it be amended as such defects or imperfections appear, and to this end all the courts ought to be au- thorized and directed to report to the Lezislature such defects as are en- countered in the actual administra- tion of law.” _— That speech of President Wilson tefore the Southern soclety in New Vork had the ring of strenzth ond courage and confidence in it—a pood way for a man to feel with Mr. Wil son’s Job ahead of him.
