ORE POWER FOR THE JUDGES” is the tonic for ju- dicial procedure in thia country prescribed by Lawyer Frederick N. Judson of St. Louis. In an address before By 53 VOLUM “M the American Bar Association at Milwaukee Mr. Judson gravely ad: | mitted the public arraignment of our courts and their methods: ! It is no exaggeration to say that the judicial precedure of the United States is now on triat before the bar of the pudlic opinion of this country and even of the civilized world, The distinguished lawyer deplored what he termed “the pro-| Qressive democratization of our courts which apparently has not yet} ended,” and declared: The only effective remedy for this deplorable situation is the vesting of a larger discretion in the judges. We must re- trace our steps and vest not lese but more independence in our judges. Mr. Judson begins and ends with the judges. After all, our eourt system, as the public best understands and follows it, is the jury system. The verdict is what the public is after. The jury gives the verdict. ‘The judge is there merely to instruct the jury and to rule on points of law. All our instincts and traditions are against judge ridden courts. A public which can scarcely understand or read with.) out amazement the reports of a French trial, which sees and knows | little of any save jury methods, is not likely to favor the idea of arbi- trary judges. With an andience of lawyers before him, Mr. Judson missed a fine opportunity to plant a few plain truths where they would do a Jot of good, and where everybody would like to see them flourish and bear fruit. Why didn’t he give a heart-to-heart talk to lawyers? After all, who are the chief actors in court procedure? Who speak the lines "2 Who are really responsible for motions and delays and twistings and bickerings? In seven cases out of ten if the lawyers concerned really wanted swift, clean-cut progress and prompt settlement, how long would settlement be delayed? Let some- body prescribe a tonic for lawyers. A bench aristocracy of Solons and Aristides with supreme wis- dom and authority might be all very fine. But our jury system does not call for Solomons. And with our present methods of selecting | judges we rarely get a Solomon or a Rhadamanthus. Yet, on the whole, we manage fairly well. La Why No UNIFORM FoR THE MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM ‘SQUAD One of the best known lawyers in New York, in comparing the short term Western judges with our long term New York varicty, once remarked with s twinklo in his eye: “Our fourteen-year judges, after a few years on the bench, get such big heads that they won’t do a darned thing for anybody!” Which is a pretty healthy state for « judge. , Let the jury system alone. Pick out the best judges available. Give them long terms. Don’t give them too much independence, and don’t make them prosecuting judges like those of France. Before all put the fear of God and Justice and Promptitude into the souls of that great body of practicing lawyers upon whom after all chiefly @epend the honor and fair conduct of our courts. eS Sa LET US BE CALM! r I8 an exceedingly good sign that despite the fumings and splut- terings of the anti-American press in Cuba, not to mention! the reported insults to the American Charge d’Affaircs, there has been as yet no notable taking down of muskets or preliminary broadsides of spcech cither in the newspapers or among the people hereabouts. The Havana daily Sigio has almost burst itself trying to be offensive. Through a two-column box on the front page it roars at Mg. Gibson, our Charge d’Affaires, calling him “insect,” “a miserable representative of the great who insult the small,” and expressly laya aside all “clegances of language” to declare him “brusquely, rudely, grossly” an “infamous person”! “Imagine that I have slapped you also!” thunders the editor. ? Let us struggle to be calm.

Mra. E. H. Harriman said recently: “I am overwhelmed with begging letters, I received five thousand such let- ters before starting on a Western trip I took a short time ago. [t isn’t unusual for me to receive one hundred a day. Most of them are from men.” And 9% per cent.—perhaps even a greater percentage—are bogus, There are 0 many charity organization societies to-day. ready to give relief to the deserv- ing, that applications privately made to persons of known philanthropy are un- necessary and when #0 made almost invariably stamp the writer as a rascal. The crook who operates from an Eastern State usually selects a well-known Philanthropist resident in the West, and vice versa, as it is not considered wise to have a victim too near at hand. For example, Mr. Kindly of Denver, a man of proverbial benevolences, gets a letter from a Mrs. Arlington of No. 118 Pine street, Yonkers, N.-¥., in which the writer says she has been recommended to him as one who would extend temporary ald to a gentlewoman in direst need, Mrs. Arlington poses as an Englishwoman, daughter of a wealthy man at pree- ent living in Cairo, Egypt.

If {t isn't, a smaller sum may be sent, or from one of the other letters sent out @t the same time a peounlary response may be had. The widow writes a note ef thanks. A week or so later Mr. Kindly gets a letter from the Rev. Goodly of Yonkers telling of the widow's relapse and the necessity of establishing her tm @ private room at @ hospital, where an operation is necessary and the need of funds for this purpose. This letter is written in the most convincing, mine Isterial style, and 1s usually a “puller.” After all the money has been squeemed from the philanthropist that {t seems possible to get he receives a note telling him of the demise of the widow and the departure of the Rev, Goodly, and the incident 1s closed. By multiplying this experience by many others, tt can readily be that the revenue of the begging-letter writer !s not inconsiderable, A good many rich men, however, employ a functionary to inquire into ap. peals for help, and when an investigation is started {t is the cue for the ewin- dler to disappear and give over the pursuit of this particular game.
