LAWYERS AND TIE LAWS DELAYS

Ex-Secretary Roots response 10 the hearty
greeting OF the New-York University Law
School alumni on Tuesday evening created a
strong impression, and ought to produce useful
results. There would have been no fault to
End II AR. Root had merely acknowledged in
suitable words the kindness and courtesy OF his
professional brethren who were welcoming his
return to New-York and to the active practice
Of the law. but in making less conventional
use Of his opportunity he performed a real pub
lie service The commission appointed to IN
vestgate the laws delays has lately listened
to many interesting opinions on the causes OF
an evil which all profess to deplore, and after
grave elaboration has recommended several
changes Of system by which it hopes # may
be diminished. The commissions conclusions
are entitled TO respectful considera ton, but it
may be that Mr. Root has got nearer to the
heart OF the question than those who are chiefly
interested in the effort to apply extraneous
remedies.
Mr.. Root does not dispute the ACCESSIBILITY Of
new regulations to expedite the processes OF
justice but he says: NO new statutes no new
''rules, no Encouragement Of the courts. no IN
"cTease in the number Of judges, viii take
''the place OF a devotion on our part to .he
great underlying principles OF our jurisprU-
"dence." That is a generality which might
nave been forgotten as quickly as IL was ut
tered II the speaker had not taken care to drive
his meaning home. Frankly confessing that he
was himself as guilty as any OF those by whom
he was surrounded, he said that the lawyers
OF to-day had inherited and were wont 20 en-
plOy methods better adapted TO display their
own technical skill than 70 serve the interests
committed 10 them. He continued:
IL is our duty 70 see that technicslities do not
take the place CT the salient principles-to see
that there Is swift and certain escertaining
OF the facts and that the law is applied TO the
facts IN the swiftest manner I have
never seen 50 much Indignation as that which
Is expressed when a lawyer has succeeded in
getting the best OF opposing counsel and has
had the fruits Of the victory taken from him
by the judge. We have followed too much the
Ideals OF the Justices court. where the two law
yers fight with each other and all the folks OF
the neighbOrhood come TO see the duel the
friends Of each applauding his smartness and
the rights Of the ltigant being The least i'm
portant matter in the courtroom. We do not
address ourselves. as IN the English courts TO
the main Issues. There a hundred objec-
lions ana a score OF exceptions where the Eng
| lish courts have We must devote
ourselves 10 the real merits OF the case in hand
The whole matter OF the laws delay
seems 70 me 70 rest with in cur government
OF our own conduct
! Presumably no reputable lawyer VIII deny

that Mr. Roots description is accurate, and his
condemnation Just All the members Of the bar
who have a true conception Of what they owe
TO their clients ana TO the community must de
sire when they calmly consider the matter.
TO exempIify the professional standard which
Mr. Roots remarks portray. But the inherited
practice TO which he alluded is against them. or
against those 10 whom years and success have
given the leadership. Habits are tenacious. and
il may be feared that most Of the veterans. If
they should resolve to escape the tolls OF tradi-
ton and custom, would find the task too hard.
1t is to the younger members of the profess
sion, and perhaps most of all to the students
Of law who have not yet begun to practise, that
we may most hopefully hook for the refOrma-
ton which Mr. Root declares to be indispensa-
BILE. It is the special duty and privilege of the
law schools to fill the minds OF their pupils
with such reverence for those great under
living principles on which the true fabric of
Justice is reared that selfish considerations of
convenience. distorted ideas Of what clients
should sacrifice to the conventiOnalities of pro
fessionaI ethics and the love of petty personal
triumphs will be excluded.
1t is doubtless true that lawyers are sorely
tempted to take advantage of the code, every
one Of whose provisions, as Mr.. Ohoate said, is
a litigation in itself; that judges are shaclled
with rules and presidents Of which they may
not approve, and that means Of relieving those
conditions ought to be diligently sought But
if. in saying that the whole matter of the laws
delay seems TO me TO rest with us in our
government of our own conduct" Mr.. Root
went a little too far the truth which he de-
clared is so important that even the most jeal-
Gus members Of the bar should not resent the
exaggeration.

TIE MATOR.S OPPORTUNITY.

Mayor Mcclellan has a chance to serve the
city well by vetoing the permit granted on
Tuesday to the New-York. Westminster and
Boston Railroad Company by the Board OF Al
dermen TO cross certain streets in the Borough
OF The Bronx. more ruthless defiance Of
public demands has rarely been seen in this
city, where Tammany aldermen have long been
wont to act on the maxim 1.-The public be
damned" For eight months the Wigwam's
friends in the city's legislature have held up the
application Of the New-York and Port Chester
company for the very permit granted On Tuesday
to its rival. The Port Chester company has al
ready secured its charter from the State Rail
road Commission; the cities Of Mount Vernon
and New-Rochelle have granted it permission
to cross some fifty streets; the Supreme Court
has given It permission 10 cross some forty
other streets and thoroughfares in Westchester
County and the Court OF Appeals has passed
favorably on its charter and organization.
Moreover, every taxpayers organizat ton in The
Bronx has demanded the building Of the road
and at the hearings before the railroads com
mittee Of the aldermen the only opposition Of
fered was from Tammany lawyer who de
clned to tell what interests he represented
The financial responsibility Of the company is
unqueshOned. Its honest intention TO build and
operate a road is beyond shadow Of doubt
But all these considerations are waved aside
by the Tammany "hold-up" combination and
its allies. The Port Chester application is calm
~ buried. and that Of a resurrected concern,
with charter Of doubtful validity, galvanized
into a show Of life simply TO serve as a stalk

for the Westchester permit that ''The Bronx
